That means people don't know.  Hire a personal trainer to ask your questions.

Can I have some advice?
I usually just get in the gym and lift. As I am getting stronger and results I feel as if I'm still doing something wrong. Two main things cardio and I don't ALWAYS eat right.
I'm about 5'11 225. Do you think those two things are what I am missing? I'm barely starting to grow form in my chest (its always been big though and firm) and grow vascularity in my forearms. These are the things I see in people as they are on the verge of the next level, true or false? Any feedback is appreciated. Don't BS me though.

lol alright ill document my progress if i take it. nordic virormone test prop 50mg/mL 2 mL amps in case anyone is wondering.

club there are illegal substances that increase any and all sorts of athletic performance.....i don't agree with the ethics of taking them to get ahead in athletic competition but they can and will give you and edge if used properly.

you should definitely work out your entire body, not just arms and chest. cardio is vital to burning body fat so that may very well be what's preventing you from seeing the results you desire.

I came to that conclusion as well # Starting yesterday I decided to work hard on my cardio and to become more proficiency in my eating habits. .

The hell are you making rules? plus i doubt son asked some advanced unanswerable stuff.  The thread just rolls that way sometimes.  Sometimes you get help, but for the most part it's just dudes who already are decent in the gym talking at each other.

Lol @ "dudes who already are decent in the gym talking at each other" we needa do better.

 

[atlfootballer]

[brettthejett]

why they split though

 

[tj detweiler]

Do you guys go to the gym in cosecutive days? It would be hard for me to go any other days other than mon-thurs but I'm reading that you should have rest days in between. Would I get better results if I tried to take off days in between?

 

[wawaweewa]

Eh be careful taking a stroll there. Not because I,m personally against it but once you go there you kinda stay there. Unless you,re prepared to run 2nd, 3rd, etc cycle then I wouldn't do it. Once you've been on gear you won't want to train off of it.

What's your routine ?
Body part split ? in that case you can go consecutive days just hit different body parts each time. If you are doing full body workouts then you should take a day off  between for sure. I myself only lift twice a week (mon/thurs) but I'm only doing heavy compound lifts so it works out perfectly.

I'm actually just now starting to go to the gym. Will begin going starting tomorrow but I do want to do body part split. I was just looking at the data base on the bodybuilding forum for routines that I can follow but I saw that most 4 day routines weren't consecutive. Any routines I can do while I figure out what works best for me? I want to be serious in going to the gym since I never have really gone before. I'm doing a lot of reading but its a little overwhelming so any help would be great. 

 

[scshift]

Is it bad to max out every workout? I work out full body twice a week focusing on my main lifts and I've been seeing progress except my squat and deadlift have come to a stop. I've been trying to peak my 1 rep max every workout and I end up failing... should I cut down on the weight and add more reps?
