Routine change, comments welcomed

[marcmn]

Here's the situation, been doing a routine for about 4 months, each body part once a week, good progress but seemed to have stalled out. Thinking about going to a twice a week per body part for a while and see if I can jump start some growth. Starting to really pay attention to the diet and rest. Currently at 6' 190lbs, 49 yrs old......... Any advice/comments?

No advice, only constructive comments. Very good body for a 49 year old, I had to read it again to make sure I got it right. At first glance I thought you were in your 20's. Keep it up!

I'm sure your kids will be proud of the fact that their father is posting pics of himself in his freakin underwear on the internet  !!


it's one thing to ditch your own self respect, but it's another thing to disrespect your family !

if u want my advice.... dont go to training everything twice per week, 4months is nothing,,, just keep on improoving your form, feeling the movements more, .. u should post your full routine and your diet and see if we can help tweek it

Thanks, for the advice LH, I appreciate it. My current routine goes like this: Mon. Legs (squats, presses, extension, leg curl and calf raise) 4sets each, 10-12 reps. Tue. Chest & Tricep (BB press, Incline Press, Flyes, Dips, Skull Crusher, DB Ext.). Wed. Back & Bicep (Tbar, pull up, Seated Row, pull down, BB Curl, DB Conc. Curl, Shrugs) Thurs. OFF, Fri. Shoulders (Press, lat raise, DB Press, upright row). Sat. Tricep and Bicep. Sun OFF. I do 4 sets each at 8-12 reps.

Just My two cents Worth:

Squat really heavy for 8-10reps. Go for a spotter to assist yo in the last set.
Add deadlift Somewhere in your routine(Friday?) and go really heavy(for you)
Squat and deadlifts are Real mass builders, and Will Strengthen up you as a Whole.

your routine looks ok,,, id drop the arm routine on the weekend and have the whole weekend off tho,,,, no need to go below 10reps on squats either as some have suggested, specialy as your a more mature trainier,,, no need to take risks with the knees or back, if i were to have my time over again id never go below 10 on squats, im fucked at 28!.. personaly i think 4 sets is too much too, thats just my preference tho, im sure othere might disagree,, just be patient and look to 1 or 2 yrs ahead instead of right now
