Cool.
It is better if there is a Club etc as part of the Gym I think - not like at 6th Form Lol
So much more fun when lifting etc with m8s I find!

I do a bit, but nothing overly intense. Progress is slow but steady I suppose.

Tend to do quite a lot of lifting, but not one of the many ******s that just does chest and bicep stuff. I prefer an all-round workout.
I go to the gym everyday, my off day is Sunday. I have a fixed schedule what I do Monday-Wednesday's / Tuesday's - Thursday's / Friday's / Saturday's.
Mon-Wed
Chest and tricep day, mainly focusing on the Pectoralis major this includes upper chest and how to get that plate look, where your chest comes out. First I start with incline bench, I do 4 sets of improving weight. Second, Cable flies, I usually do 4 sets of this as well; 12,10,8,6/improving weight. After that I use dumbbells for dumbbell spreads, it's where you lie on your back on the bench and slowly hold the weights out in front of your chest and act almost like a butterfly slowly feeling your muscle rip apart and slowly coming back to the beginning motion. For triceps one of my workouts consists of doing dips 3 sets of 10 til failure each time. After that I grab the bar bell and add weight on it to do skull crushers, 3 sets 10,8,6 once your finished with that head over the the cable pull downs and do 3 sets using the rope pulling down focusing on your tricep this is where it's important this final workout. You usually do 3 sets of this as well.
Tues-Thurs
Bicep and Back, Lats.
I first head in and stretch once I stretch the first thing I start with is dead lifts 4 sets of adding weight. This reason is because it builds more testosterone while doing this workout. After finishing my four sets I head to the lat pull-down machine and use only three fingers pulling it slowly down to my chest and slowly back to the starting position, make sure you focus on your lats as your doing this so you don't try and cheat yourself, the reason I use three fingers is because you also can work your forearms out doing this style as well. After that I head to wide pull ups, 3 sets to failure, once you're finished with that you're going to next go to the lat pull machine. This machine really focuses on your lats and biceps as well, once you get comfortable and settled throw your shoulders back and slowly pull it towards your chest keeping your back straight. You will do 4 sets of this improving in weight. After finishing this you will head to doing curls with the bar, its your choice if you would like to use the 45lb or the 15lb bar it's your choice, but whatever you use make sure you not only focus on curling it but slowly bringing the bar slowly down to get the eccentric movement. After 3 sets of this you will work on a part of your bicep many people forget about. The brachilis is very important as well, what you will do is grab the bottom of the dumbbell and slowly bring it almost like a curl but you'll feel the muscle, you wont be curling the bar but bringing it up almost in a sideways motion. Once you do 3 sets of that you're finished with biceps, back, and lats.
Friday's
Shoulder's, and Traps
It's really important to to include this into your workout and only work out these ONCE A WEEK. I first start off buy going to the squat machine, I add wait onto the bar (the bar is 45lb) as you know. You put the weight you want on the bar and you lift it over your head slowly and bring it back down slowly, make sure you aren't arching your back or you could possible injure yourself. Do 4 sets of this. After head to the dumb bells, you will grab whatever weight you choose, once you have the weight grab the bench seat and make it a 180 degree angle straight up so you sit back with your back straight. Once you do this you will put the dumb bells on your knees and once your ready put them up in front of your chest. You will be holding the dumb bells with your knuckles facing you and as you go up your hands will turn, this is working the front of your shoulders. Once you do 3 sets of that you will head over to the cable pulls and adjust it to where you can work each part of your shoulder, or you can use dumb bells. First you will want to go straight up with the weight out in front of you, up and then back down. After you will hold your arms straight out and go up and down like that, lastly have your arm almost like a chicken wing and raise the bar and you will feel the burn in your shoulder. Do this 3 sets. (Sorry it's hard to explain this workout, if you look it up on youtube it'll help with your form.)
Saturday's
Leg day everyones favorite workout! Once you walk into the gym make sure your legs are warmed up, either hop on an elliptical, treadmill or bike and stay on that for 10 minutes to get your legs warmed up. Once you do so, go to the squat bar and do 4 sets of improving weight. Second go to the leg extension curl machine and do 4 sets on this as well. Third, head to the leg extension, instead of having your feet in front pushing down with your feet you will be raising your feet up, do this for 4 sets as well. Next is your Glutes, the side of your butt, do 4 sets of this as well and after head to the machine that makes you have to close your legs and do it for 4 sets as well and that's the workout for the week
I love working out, I've been working out for two years now and I've seen big improvements, I hope I'm not coming across like a know it all, but I have taken classes at the University of Florida for fitness and have learned about it, so if you have any questions feel free to ask! I am aiming for muscle mass and gains.

jesus christ calm down extremeslayer
i have never even set foot into the gym before apart from the one in my school so oops
Lmfao I had to stop reading at "pectoralis major" u kill me extremeslayer.
I like to lift to pass the time, have weights at home fit for most upper body stuff but must say I'm a bigger fan of improving legs and everybody loves a good ass (gluteus Maximus) amirite extremeslayer. My gym isn't the best equipped for meatheads and is mostlyfreeweights and smiths and like 4 benches but I like simple workouts and would certainly not dedicate my time to sculpting my body too much as my brain is far more important x

Sorry haha! It's up there if you ever want to get more involved into it :) but you could start in your school gym, do you have a gym class?

Haha, sorry @Kyle yes you are right, gluteus Maximus is just a fun word to say as well, but my neighborhood gym is the same way but I have became creative to make up my workout and yes I totally agree now it's tough because I either want to go into Pre-Med or fitness but I'll probably do fitness as a side job since I enjoy it so much!

.ExtremeSlayer impressive write up. Glancing at it all though, if you've been working out for two years, surely you are wasting your time doing 6kg cable flies (I'll assume you mean kg and not lb, otherwise it really is a waste of time lol). Doesn't sound like the most efficient workout to me.
Do you use an supplements?
No! the cable flies are kg! haha my bad! And the only supplement I use it Whey protein, after each workout I use fresh fruit, a scoop of peanut butter, one banana and blend it up! :) But yes everything is kg
- - - Updated - - -
But yeah, I was using lbs only as an example! My PRS are alright they're improving, my bench is 260. Squat is 375. And Cleans are 225. conservative;

Thanks! My friends are much higher though, mines embarrassing to there's but you can only improve! But yeah, I just enjoy working out :)

To be honest man that still isn't bad! Even if you get one workout in a week that's great for you! Great work! :)

I tried going the gym once but found it so boring.
Swimming is so much more fun.
I used to go to the gym to try and lower my body fat percentage and I mostly used weights rather than cardio but I wouldn't call myself a bodybuilder lmao
