2003/05/24, 10:09 PM Hello out there i hope you all are'nt getting sick of looking over novice lifting routines. I've been lifting 5 to 6 days a week with the below core lifts since Oct. 2002 and have had steady gains. I love the time in the gym and use a count down timer for 105 seconds in between sets. I change the order or throw some new isolation movements in every 6 weeks. I would just like to know if I'm doing the right thing or if it's overkill. My nutrition is adequate with 5 to 6 meals throughout the day, yea tuna, tuna, and more stinking tuna! couple of chicken breasts, veggies 3egg whites and peanut butter sandwiches for breakfast. Current supplements are whey protein from isopure with 5g glutamine per servine, creatine, and ZMA. Thanks again for all the time.
