Hello guys!

Hello guys!

Bodybuilding newbie here based here in Saudi Arabia (work). Just started bodybuilding 8 weeks ago, so far, so good naman. Ectomorph body type, gained almost 2 kg within those 8 weeks (started at 53.5kg, currently at 55.4kg). Currently on a 1 week rest before starting another 8 weeks of bulking.

Looking forward to get more tips from fellow bodybuilders. Will post pics later. :)

    Thanks for the welcome guys. :)

    Libre gym membership (company sponsored) namin dito eh kaya kailangang samantalahin. Hehehe! Downside though, mahal ang supplements (i.e. ON Whey 5lb will cost you almost 4k pesos). Ouch!

    Anyway, eto yung program na binigay sa akin ng gym trainor namin dito (4sets each exercise, 6-10 reps):

    Day 1 - Chest

    Flat BB Press
    Flat DB Pres
    Inclined BB Press
    Inclined DB Press
    Declined BB Press
    Pullover
    Flyes

    Day 2 - Shoulders

    Machine Shoulder (Military) Front Press
    Machine Shoulder (Military) Back Press
    Overhead DB Shoulder Press
    Shrugs
    Upright Barbell Row
    Side Lateral Raise
    Front DB Raise

    Day 3 - Back

    Wide Grip Lateral Pull Down
    Close Grip Lateral Pull Down
    Wide Grip Cable Row
    Close Grip Cable Row
    Back Flyes
    One hand DB Row
    Pull ups

    Day 4 - Biceps/Triceps

    Bicep Curl (EZ Bar)
    DB Bicep Curl
    Preacher Curl (EZ Bar)
    Concentration Curl
    Triceps Cable Pushdown (Bar)
    Triceps Cable Pushdown (Rope)
    Seated Triceps Press

    Day 5 - Legs/Abs

    Squat (Smith Machine)
    Hack Squat
    Leg Press
    Leg Extension
    Leg Curl
    Seated Calf Press
    Decline Crunch
    Sit ups
    Flat Bench Leg Pull In

    Day 6 & 7 - Rest

    So far, ok naman yung resulta although medyo hectic ang sked dahil 5 days a week. Progressive overload weekly either by exceeding the weight or increasing max rep on the heaviest lifts.

    welcome sir! hindi ba overkill yung chest day mo? hehehe... start mo na journal mo sir para matulungan ka ng mga masters /no1

    Try ko gawa ng journal later pag-uwi sa bahay. :)

    One thing for sure sa program na binigay sa akin, everytime I go home after workout, very sore yung targeted muscles. Hitting the same muscle group with 7 different exercises is quite a torture. Although I have seen some great gains (both mass and strength) in just 8 weeks.

    Dati, sa olympic bar (20kg) pa lang sa bench press hirap na ako, so far, I was able to do 55kg (120lb) on 7 reps.

    Planning to pursue a split workout though, probably 3 days per week lang. Medyo magiging busy for December and January eh. Any suggestions?
