    How's it going folks, I dunno if this should go in the logs section but I am jsut after some critique rather than writing up my progress and so forht.

    Am wondering if my workout is decent enough for putting on the odd bit of weight. This is just what the gym reccomended for me so any input would be appreciated.

    Male,6ft,150lbs, body fat:8%

    Other sports: boxing and judo both twice a week.
    Hitting the gym only twice a week due to a hectic scheduel at the moment.


    Bench Press:3*12
    Incline bench press 3*12
    flat bench flys 3*12 , each set of flys followed by 10 push ups

    Lateral Pulldown 3*12
    Leg press 3*12
    Chin ups 3*6

    Bicep curls 3*12 (2nd set of curls is hammer curls)
    Tricep machine 3*12

    Crunches 3*12

    I know there are no back exercises at the moment as my back was acting up a while ago. Will ask what should be put in once I'm healed up again.

    Putting on weight has more to do with the food you take in.

    Post up a typical day's diet.

    NutritionX mass X shake
    meat(usually chicken), potoatoes, vegetables

    evening:chicken, rice

    I drink a lot of milk every day too, varies day to day, usually around a litre.

    would you not do lower reps with higher weights to put on muscle.
    12 reps is usually associated with body composition training, or 'toning'.
    putting on muscle is generally in the 6 to 10 rep range.

    squats would be better for putting on mass than a leg press.

    I assure you I'm no expert on these things.

    Just doing what I've been told by the guy at the gym.

    Any feedback welcome.
