Weight Training

I go to the gym Monday-Thursday 6:30pm till 8:00pm every evening.
Mondays I work my chest and biceps.
Tuesdays I work my shoulders and back.
Wednesdays I work my legs and triceps.
Thursdays I do a bit of fitness and chest.
I eat oats for breakfast. For Lunch or supper I eat the following: Pasta, rice, chicken, meat, fish, potatoes, vegetables, eggs, and bananas. I drink a lot of milk.
Before every workout I take in my dosage of creatine and about an hour before that I mix 1 egg, 1 banana, and a full glass of milk for energy. Do you think all this is healthy?
I have been working out heavily for the past 5 months using creatine, I don't think creatine is the best for me. I used to weigh 149.6 Lbs and in 5 months I came up to 162.8 Lbs.

Okay, just a few things to mention there buddy. Where are you getting your information??? First of all, you are working chest too often. Your body doesn't grow while you are working out, it grows between workouts. Second, Eating a lot of oats, and pasta is not going to make you a lean mean lifting machine. A high carb diet such as the one you described may add the pounds, but not the pounds that you want. Try eating higher protein (eggs, fish, chicken, tuna).
Also, it is good that you are listening to mommy and drinking lots of milk, but what you want to do is supplement a whey protein into your diet instead. Finally, It isn't that the creatine isn't working, it is how you use it. You have an hour to an hour and a half window after a workout in which your body sucks up all it's nutrient. It is for this reason that you want to be taking a creatine supplement and a whey protein during this period. You can also take creatine before your workout. If you cut down the amount of milk you are drinking, and increase the amount of water, your creatine will be more effective, and the gains will be noticeable.
Try searching for information like this on the net. It is all over the place, and it is free. If you are going to put all this time into building a healthy body, you might as well do it right.

| It sounds like you know what you're talking about, but here's a little tip for you. The thing you said about you have an hour to an hour and a half window. No, it's not. You have only 45 minutes not no hour or so.
For the guy with the workout, your leg work should be done alone to keep the blood down there. Tris should be done with biceps or chest. Also, you train to much. It should be like this: Monday, Wednesday, Friday, less is better. Saturday or Sunday do a bit of fitness. Tuesday, Thursday relax and eat. Remember to drink lots of water everyday, 3 to 5 liters.

Which one of you is the trainer? The 45 minute rule went bye bye a long time ago. If you are going to post something that everyone can read, you need to tell them that it's your opinion regardless that is factual or not.

In response to response #1. To tell you a little bit about myself, I am 14yrs. old, 5'9ft., 180lbs, 13% body fat, bench press 215, squat 275, and power clean 215. I am also a starting noseman on my freshman football team. I am the strongest person on my team. I workout 6 days a week while I rest on Wednesday or Sunday. I don't think you can over train yourself because I increase my bench press by 10lbs. every 2 weeks. In my workout, I do bench press, squats, power cleans, dead lifts, butterflies, leg extensions, leg curls, bicep curls, and 10 minutes of crunches. I do that workout everyday. Sure I feel a little tired the next day but I still do the workouts and make gains. Please give me resources that I can look at to prove that over training is bad for you.

In response to response #3. When you are working out you are stretching and tearing your muscle. You should rest a day in between workouts to give your muscles a chance to heal and grow. This will show better results than you are already getting.

Just a quick tip from a Physio to Response #3. Why are you lifting
that much at 14? Nobody has probably told you, but doing heavy workouts
before you finish your adolescent growth period can cause damage
to your bones and can also stunt your growth. So, if you want to
avoid major problems in your later life, I'd stick to a more athletic
training program with a lighter weight routine and cardio training.
The problem with the "cheaters" is that to look huge now
they are sacrificing up to 10-15 years of their life span. I don't
think that inexperienced lifters are given quite enough information
when they start that first cycle.

Hi, I like this page and learned a couple things too. I weigh 201 lbs and am 17 years old. I play fullback on my football team. I go every second day for about two hours and have been going for a little over a year (I wish I started earlier). I have never taken a supplement or drug or anything. I can lift 250 lbs, leg press 800 lbs, and shoulder press about 200 lbs. I train every second day and play rugby, football, volleyball, track, badminton, hockey, run and anything else. Everyone says I over train, but none of them can brag like me.
