Hi steve. I am 35 years old 1.81m and for the last 8 months I have been doing a 6 day per week training. That inlcudes a 2 x 3 days schedule of Chest + triceps, Back + Biceps, Legs + Shoulder repetitions of 10. Also i do about 20m of cardio (running at 11km). The result was to go from 86kgs to 79kgs in 5 months and then go to 81kgs in the rest 3 months. I just use whey protein twice a day and eat healthy. I want to push it more seriously now. Can you reccomend me one of your workouts that will boost me up faster? Always taking into account my age (35).

Hi Steve
Im currently about to start following your hardgainer routine. Ive been doing doggcrapp training now for around 16 weeks getting moderate gains and im ready to switch it up. One question i have is for example on Monday when u do bench press, do u recommend staying with a bench press every week? or on the next week would you suggest you do an incline, the following a decline, and then back to bench. Also, how many weeks do you recommend training on the hardgainer routine? Thanks!

Hi i was wondering if you could help me, i am 17 and have been weight lifting for about 5 months but i have usually been doing almost the same thing every day that i go and not specifying on a specific muscle each session. i was wondering if you could recommend a training that will help me put on more muscle and gain more power all over.
Thanks

Steve, I am a beginner who has been working out for one month, I currently work my chest every other day.( 3 sets bench, 3 sets flat dumbbell press, 3 sets for dumbbell flys every workout) is this overtraining my chest? I am an ectomorph.

Hello Mr.Shaw.I'm new to all of this but I've doing your beginner workouts which I appriciate and enjoy. I've read a few articals on the subject and no one mentions how much weight you should use.

hi steve

now how my routine become look like
please teach me the role to add any method to my routine

thanks again bro :)

for the dumbbell only full body workouts or any full body work outs in general should you rotate your program every few weeks for or does it matter? how often do you increase weights, & once you reach your goal whether you are trying to lose weight or build muscle do you stay with a certain measurement in weights? sorry if you have a hard time understanding my question i'm having hard time trying to explain what i'm asking.

Hiya Steve, I'm 15 and currently weight training to get rid of the curse of being skinny, is this program
For me do you think,
Thank you x

I just started one of the full body routines , The Grinder. I just wanted to know if some cardio on the days off might be to much a day after this workout?

Hi Steve. I am new to all this and was just wondering if you could give some advice and tips. I am 27 and I'm 5ft 9 and I weight approx 170lbs I want to start bulking up and gain muscle mass and develop a larger body including legs. Any info on best protein shakes to start with and also I will be using home gym equipment which will be dumbbells and a bench press with barbell too any advice as to the best exercises and routines would be really appreciated. Mainly I don't want to start doing exercises but not doing it right and wasting time. Would rather get advice from someone who knows and do it properly. Many thanks. Kevin

hi Steve

how r u men ?

i need your advice for the bulldozer training..

can you recommend me what type of supplement that i can take ?

previously i took whey protein from optimal gold...

Hi Steve... I just recently completed 2 cycles of this workout (60 days) http://www.weighttraining.com/workout-plans/adrian-peterson-workout-plan and the results were pretty good but I want to try something new because im beginning to plateau..I'm 18 with solid muscle and in good shape overall..I was wondering if you could take a look at that workout and tell me which one of your workouts would be most beneficial to me after completing that. I have been lifting pretty consistently for about 3-4 years. My goals are to gain muscle mass, gain strength and definition...thanks so much for the help

hi steve,
i mention a few times, tthat u can be contacted by a private message, but my mind doesnt seem to gget, where this private message thingie is located?
got a couple of questions from a danish follower :)

First off: Power Muscle Burn 5 Day Powerbuilding Split
im trying to incorporate this into my schedule, but i dont seeem to see any rest time? i mean, how long should the rest time be? 90 sec? 60 sec?

would this workout give me any positive results, sinice im in KCAL deficit, due to weightloss? (already lost 75ish pounds, 38kg)

my schedule is starting monday.
Xfit, offday, Xfit, chest/tri, back/traps, shoulder/bic, deadlift/abs/calfs

I would also like to ask if it is absolutely necessary to include a rest day in between lift days. Again I'm not sure my schedule will allow it. At least once a week I would have to do back to back. Is that ok?

Hi Steve, I am looking to get back into weightlifting after a long absence. I need to shed some fat and also build muscle. I only have maybe 3 dedicated days per week due to my crazy work schedule, is there a good workout you would recommend for me? And also what kind of cardio is good? Like how many times per week, how long, etc? I would think a beginner program would be appropriate but also looking for a good long term workout as well. Thanks!

Hi Steve,
Can you help me please?
My issue is about Cardio! I'm 21 years old, 145Lbs (65Kg), 175cm, and about 12-14% body fat I think and I see 2packs of mine... I'm not skinny at all but I'm not shredded and muscly as well as I want!
I don't really know about how much Cardio I need! and what type? (HIIT, LISS)
I can only do Cardio after my weight training at gym, can I do HIIT just right after my weight training? How many days in a week I need HIIT, how many days LISS....??

Help me please Steve with a complete Cardio Workout for me, Thanks a lot!

hi steve.
I am from sri lanka. i saw your workouts. i want some details from you. how can i contact you?
your mail address?

hey steve
I read your profile and it said your arms are 19". is that flexing or not flexing. i'm 14 and mine are 13 not flexing. and i dont have fat arms.

Hi Steve,
Im an 18 year old with a little bit of a slower metabolism that wants to lose fat and build muscle. Should i be eating more calories then required or less?

Just wanted to say your Power Muscle Burn 5 Day Powerbuilding Split workout is one of the best I have followed, I have a lot of time for your work and knowledge. Thank you mate.

Hello Mr. Steve.. :) How Can I Contact You? I Want To Ask You Several Questions :)

Steve,

I found your four day work out on this site. I have been doing it for a month or so and gained massively. Thank you for your advice and guidance. True inspiration.

Hi Steve,

I am 36 and have lifted for periods on and off for the last 20 years. I hurt myself pretty bad this last May when I completely tore my left pectoral loose from my upper arm (humerous bone). I had corrective surgery and all is good now except for a ten inch scar that will forever remind me of being a dumbass.
That being said,I have been back in the gym five days a week 45mins-hour a day. I also attend a trim and tone 1 hour group exercise class with my wife 3 nights a week that I use to get my cardio and ab work in. I have done more reading on diet and exercising this go round than ever and eel like I have a better understanding of the way things should be done.
I am currently 5"11 190 and 15% body fat. Measurements by a pro by the way not me. I "think" I have a good diet setup. I am sticking to 2500 cals a day and trying to balance cals evenly across protien,carbs and fats. Good carbs and good fats 80% of the time. Like I said "I think this is a good plan". I have lost about 6% body fat in the last 3.5 months. I dont really care about the scale,190 is fine with me. I want to get into the 10-12 % body fat range.
Im not trying to be "huge". I wouldnt mind putting a couple more inches on my arms (currently 16.5in). Other than that I just want to trim up this last bit of belly fat and tone up a little more overall.
After all of that being said my question to you is what routine would suggest for me? I have been comitted to Mon-Fri gym visits for strength training and can keep that schedule. I get so confused about all the different splits and how many times a week to work each body part etc.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated whether it is diet,exercise or grammar related. I dont know if it helps but a couple of things I left out earlier...
I take a quality multivitamin,zinc,and fish oil daily.
My chest measures 47in
My legs are 28in
My waist is 32in.

Thanks

Hey Steve I have some questions as a teen that i was wondering if you could help answer, mainly about my routine. I have been working out seriously for about 5 months (have worked out longer but not to the extent i have been these past few months) and i have been wanting to change my routine. Any suggestions? I have checked out your 5 day split https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/power-muscle-burn-5-day-power... and the 4 day split version of it. Would it be ok to start up on it?

hi steve i like your workouts very much... I designed a workout and I would like you to see it and tell me your opinion about what can I change for get better results

monday - grappling circuit ( bent over row, upright row, military press, good morning, split squat L R, explosive squat, straight legged deadlift)

tuesday - biceps and a little back

wednesday - rest

thursday - chest and triceps

friday - grappling circuit

do you think that could work good?... I'm going to combine this with good rest and nutrition for best results. but what could I change?

Thanks Steve

Thanks Steve!

hi steve i like your workouts very much and also consider them ones of the most effective for the people according to what I see, that why i send you this post to ask you what do you think about the workout that I want to do:

Monday- Grappling Ciurcuit (consist on, bent over row, upright row, military press, good morning, split squat L and R, squat and push press together and finally straight legged deadlift) I want to do this 4 sets of 8 reps

Tuesday: back and biceps
wednesday: Rest
thursday: chest and triceps
friday:grappling circuit

do you think that is a good idea or should I change something?, I'm obviously going to combine this with a very good nutrition plan and rest, I'm not a beginner and with this I'm referring that I'm concerned about the importance of nutrition, rest, consistency and the good performance of exercises, y started to do exercise at 16, now I'm 20 but because of some compromises I haven't exercised in the last 4 months... I hope you could help me.

Thanks Steve
