  1. Hello,
    I am a 19 years old 5'10 and I weigh between 143 and 148 pounds
    (depending on if I ate much that day, lol). I've always been skinny so
    I'm assuming I'm an ectomorph. I want to start working out to where I
    gain some strength and muscle; I REALLY need to work on my bench press,
    as I can only bench like 80 pounds and that's only once or twice, on a
    good day.
    I understand all the stuff about eating, sleeping, taking vitamins.
    What I really need help with is with coming up with a routine would be
    right for me. I would want to exercise 2 or 3 times a week. Any advice
    would be appreciated, thanks a bunch.

  2. 143 and 148 pounds
    (depending on if I ate much that day,

    And remember, a good firmly packed turd can easily weigh 5lbs or more.
    Perhaps next time you [censored] you could weight it, and let us know? An avi
    would be nice too.

    go here:

    http://www.stumptuous.com/weights.html

    and follow the link to the workout. Pick a 3X per week routine. Forget the
    ectomorph stuff. Just eat up, lift, and get plenty of rest (don't do
    [censored] are cardio). You'll grow.

  4. Or if you're into that kind of stuff, I can just [censored] on your face.

    I'm a male

    That site gives good advice for either sex, just the author is a woman and
    seems to have forgotten blokes need to do the same sort of thing.

  10. No "blokes" don't, you dumbass.

    That's "allegedly a male", only time will tell....

  12. Try this routine. It worked for me. I was a 6' 3 " 150 lbs wuss. Start
    increasing your protine intake. Follow the general rule that you should
    take one gram of protine per pound of body weight, i.e. 200grams =
    200lbs.
    For your routine try this.
    Monday: bench press
    incline press
    shoulder press
    your choice of tricep exercise.
    Wednessday: pull downs ( wide and close grip)
    one arm dumbbell rows
    bicep curls
    Friday: leg press
    squats
    calf raises

    When doing your sets go heavy and do about 5 reps per set. I personaly
    like the pyramid. Start with a weight you know you can do 10 of and
    than gradually increase your weight while lowering your reps. I.E.
    staart with 60lbs and do ten reps than go to 65 or 70 and do 8 reps 80
    lbs do 5 reps and so on until you reach a weight you can only do 1 rep
    of then start working your way back down the weights and increase your
    reps. Allways focus on proper form. dont cheat or comprimisee form for
    more weight you will only hurt yourself. By the way I am now 220lbs.
    with about 18% body fat.

    1) learn to quote
    2) the site's advice works equally well for men...

    It's not a good idea for a newbie to "go heavy".

    What bravery! To come on here and admit to being a 90lb weakling, PLUS
    a tiny penis. In some cases, suicide is justifyable.

    I've seen plenty of 90lb Thai boxers who would make you their [censored].

    Just don't do the labia major deadlift. All the rest of the info is good.

    At least none involved your famous patented wrong advice.
