hi all need some advice ive been going to the gym now for around a month and a half i have a sort of medium build and started at around 10,4lbs im now up to 10.9lbs but im not really seeing alot of difference i know im not going to get sorted that quick i dont want to get ''big'' just ''ripped'' and shaped etc ive been eating lots of fruit tuna chicken pasta etc and have 2-3 whey shakes a day, this has been my routine-
monday - biceps and back
wednesday - chest triceps
friday - shoulders and a mixture of the rest

now im leaving the gym not feeling that i have done enough now should i up the reps or up the weight on each group or -

do say on each day 2 excercises for each group ie bicep tricpe chest back shoulders? or is that to much??

But what are you actually doing whil you are at the gym?

thats not a lot of time to expect big changes. when i first started i was 10.5 and skinny. i started by taking steroids for the first 2 months to give me an quick change so i didnt lose interest and stop going. i went upto 14.5 stone in about a year .stopped now about 6 years ago and my weighjt settled on 13.5.
if youre not sore next day then your not pushing yourself hard enough.3 or 4 different excercises @ 3 sets of 10 reps for each muscle group on each night worked for me but everyones different,free weights was best but you need to try different routines to find what works for you. ask the guys in the gym. i always found genuine lifters to be quite approachable and helpful

I dont see any leg excercises in your schedule m8, you cant ignore these as they will help kickstart your muscle growth. I see no problem with your split but would suggest pairing them like this:

Monday: Chest, Biceps and Abs

Wednesday: Back and Triceps

Friday: Legs, Shoulders and Abs

For sets and reps you really should aim for 3-4 sets of 10-12 reps, do 4 excercises for the large muscle groups and 3 for the smaller, throwing in some supersets every now and again to keep it interesting, and progress your weights gradually every couple of weeks, stick to good old compound moves such as squat, deadlift, bench press and shoulder press, and if you can get 20 mins cardio 2 times a week after your monday and wednesday sessions as this is when you will burn most fat, you should notice a difference quite quickly. Oh and keep eating plenty. Anything you need to know m8 i'll try my best to answer!!!
