Weight lifting help?

Just watch a few RobertFrank615 videos and you should know exactly how to proceed.

Personally i think you should focus on isolation exercise as oppose to strength compound exercise if you plan on looking swole. For the longest time, I realized swole looking guys aren't doing deadlifts and squats. They focus on the essentials. Overhead press, weighted pull up, weighted dips, bench both incline and flat and lastly arms.

And surprise surprise they looked way bigger than guys who are doing heavy lifts

You know how to use a search engine? There is so much information out there it's not even funny.

Type in "body building forums ________" and put your question where the blank is.

Freeweights will always be superior for building mass to machines, assuming you're doing everything correctly.

You need a "program".

it's not just certain machines (actually free wights are the only way to go, not machines)
it's not lifts, but "major lifts" + accessories

Google "Blueprint to Mass" for a free pdf of a good program. I use that.

Bench press, incline bench press, bicep curl, bicep drags

They write entire books on this stuff... and if you want results, you'll either want to read one, or follow the detailed instructions of someone who has.

I recommend "bigger leaner stronger" available on Amazon.

Trap bar deadlifts, bench presses (dumbbell or barbell), weighted pull ups, overhead shoulder presses, and dumbbell rows.

Not only do these compound lifts work but you can do any of them at home. Dont be silly and ignore your legs and core. Buy yourself a trap bar off amazon and some plates from Dunham's.

Dont worry about variety so much as you worry about progression...meaning you increase your weight or reps over time.

No matter what exercise you do, the key to building muscle is to stress the muscle, giving it a reason to grow. You stress your muscles by going heavy but you must be able to complete 8 - 12 reps with the weight. 10 reps are probably the best to hit. You also have to implement things like super sets, trust sets, drop sets etc. Things that will really force you to work hard. Try bicep 21s next time you workout your biceps. You get a fairly light weight and do 7 bicep curls from the bottom and you don’t go all the way up. Stop half way. Then do 7 more from the top but don’t go all the way down, again stop half way, then do the last 7 using the full range of motion, so go all the way up and all the way down. Do all 21 reps without resting.

Like I I said the main idea is to stress the muscle out, throw a lot at it and make it have to really work hard to complete the sets, supersets and drop sets. You can also go to failure on some exercises.

Good luck

These are the two workouts that I've flip flopped between for a fair while. Both work pretty well. You'll need to up your strength to increase your mass as you'll have to continuously up weight. Even if it's only 2.5lbs. So, track everything as meticulously as possible. Know that you did standing barbell curls for 4 sets of 6 with 60lbs and ez preacher curls for 4 sets of 8 with 40lbs. Then next week or next arm workout you can at those mini weights on to force the increase in weight.

Personally, I'd start overall body balance to make sure you're strength is up enough that you don't hurt yourself when you start the heavy mass building workouts. Otherwise you're more likely to run into imbalance in muscle groups and support groups that can lead to imperfect form and injury.

Also completely leave you ego at the door. If you walk into the gym with an ego ONLY two things will happen. 1. You WILL hurt yourself. and 2. You will not get bigger or stronger. Simple facts. You'll become the guy that can't squat what you can curl and throw your back with bad form.

Weight lifting is just secondary.

Primary, you need to make a meal daily plan in order to gain mass. It all depends on your height, weight and how much calories you take per day.

I would suggest you to talk to a nutritionist or watch youtube videos like Jeremy Ethier, Athlean X and Chris Heria. They will help you figure out what's the best for you.

I wish you the best and get pumped!

Edit: Also drink protein shakes like whey protein isolate.
