Working out 5 days a week when following strengthening routines Thanks for your response @coxnegative As I train in the morning, it gives me a good start for the whole day. I am hoping to train 5 days a week so I can relieve some of the stress at work and see some results in short term. Once I manage my stress levels, I am happy to train 3 days a week. As I live in England walking is not a good idea with the weather here. Let me know if you have any suggestions. |

Working out 5 days a week when following strengthening routines Thanks once again @DaveLiepmann All of my time except training, sleep and a bit if reading is occupied by my work. As I am getting stressed due to work I am looking at concentrating more & better at training and see some results. I am hoping this will help me relieve some stress and translate some of the success at training to other areas including work. I train in the morning and then go to work. This gives me a good start for the day. As I live in England it's mostly raining and cold so walk is not the best thing to do. Do let me know if you have any suggestions. |

Weight gained using GOMAD strategy @mike it is looking very interesting and is aslo looking bad when you put it like that. I have started consuming 2 pints of whole milk and 1 pint of skimmed milk with my normal low fat, medium carb, high protien food a day. Its is around 3.5-4K calories a day with little more fat & more sugar than recommended levels a day. I will see how I get on and make changes appropriately. I do plan on to workout 5 days a week instead of 3, will be starting a thread on that. I appreciate your input. |

Weight gained using GOMAD strategy Thanks @mike for the response. Will it effect the health like diabetes even if GOMAD is done for a month. 5000 calories is a lot to consume a day without the milk. What would you suggest then in place of milk to add the calories that's easily available/consumable as milk? |

Are these Workout Routines right for Body Building Thanks @DaveLiepmann. Now I am starting to understand and it is also helping what other options mean as well. The reason I focused on machine based workout is that it is easy to maintain form. But I see your point in that it targets only specific muscles. I will follow your suggested workout for 6 months. So it's Squat, Bench Press(1 type), Overhead Press(1 type), Dead Lift, Chin Up with appropriate sets/reps 3 alternate days a week. In terms of adding 5 pounds, is it added for every set? So for squat(3*5), it is 165*5, 170*5, 175*5. 1 gallon of milk a day you suggest seems an interesting idea |

Are these Workout Routines right for Body Building Thanks for the detailed response @DaveLiepmann. I am still learning the differences between Strength Training(ST) and Body Building(BB). I have been training for 2 years now and only came to know ST & BB in recent weeks. I have increased my weight few months back from 63-70KG(+7KG) due to weight lifting and mainly due to the program described above(used for the past 1 year). Could you let me know if my workout program above will help me increase my weight from 70-85KG(+15KG) and also get in proper shape. If so could you please provide your input for the questions against the workout schedule. |
