[QUOTE=L34rn;28264353]what part of it don't you understand?[/QUOTE] I don't understand why someone would shave their chest. Idk maybe it's just me.
Hmm, would I qualify if I posted a pic where my flab isn't too visible? As an update: I can almost curl with 20kg (44lbs) dumbbells in each arm one time now! EDIT: I look terribly odd in this pic for some reason :( Skewed or something.

The protein part is good but 2500 calories might be just a tad too much, but if you are steadily losing a good amount of weight each week than don`t change it. If you have stopped losing weight, decrease the calories by a bt, maybe 250 calories less. What kind of foods do you eat? [editline]25th February 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=U$O;28263571]Loving the bulk!

[QUOTE=VQ35HR;28269436]thanks bro and yes I`m jelly as fuck brb being perfumly and shoulderpressing a house[/QUOTE] What I've actually found helps adding mass but is arguably unsafe is doing a weight a bit too high for you to maintain perfect form. I have sloppy form when I do high weight but I lower it down slow and explode up. I only got slightly injured once when I first started working out and I pulled a muscle. It seems to tear the muscles better/faster etc. I've been getting shoulder gains like fuark by sacrificing a little bit of form for a little bit of weight.

Yeah I have no idea how I manage to never injure my shoulders. When I did pull a muscle it was when I was only doing like 50lbs on military press lol. Since then it's gone up pretty fast (like 100pounds in 5 months wtf)

I do dat dere shoulder press once a week, 3 sets of 8 usually but sometimes I do seated DB press instead since the barbell is the mother of asymmetries. And I dunno, just a beginner weightlifting routine and a beginner bodyweight routine.
so routine 1: Chest/tris: -bench (switch these up between incline decline and flat) -incline dumbbell bench (switch these up between incline decline and flat) -chest flys -skullcrushers -close grip bench -tricep extensions/dips Back/bis -wide grip pullups/pulldowns -t bar rows -deadlifts -hammer curls -preacher curls -isolation curls Shoulders/legs -shoulder press -shoulder fly -shrugs -squats -calf raises and for the bodyweight folks Chest/tris: -wide grip pushups -dips -close grip pushups Back/bis -pullups -chinups -wide grip pullups Legs/shoulders -bodyweight squats -single leg squats -handstand pushups -find 2 heavy objects and shrug them (lol) [editline]25th February 2011[/editline] ^idk [editline]25th February 2011[/editline] hopefully by the time we do v2 garry decides to put us somewhere cool cause this OP is going to be nifty

[QUOTE=VQ35HR;28269677]routine stuffs[/QUOTE] Sounds like a pretty solid routine. Also you could link to a routine on bb.com since they have a lot of different programs, a lot for beginners too. [url]http://forum.bodybuilding.com/forumdisplay.php?f=8[/url] just a thought

[url]http://forum.bodybuilding.com/forumdisplay.php?f=8[/url] just a thought[/QUOTE] there is quite a bit of good info there but quite a bit of wrong info as well so idk, one of the reasons I made mistakes when I started working out is because I read forums like that where half the posts are troll/uninformed/broscience posts Also, anyone got the link to that site with all the exercises
