My tips on weight training

*Note-this is my opinion of what to do.

Whey Protein-
First off, if you do not currently implement whey protein into your workout, start. I usually drink Super Advanced Whey Protein: Cookies and Cream, because it has the best flavor in my opinion. One scoop with milk (or water). Two scoops if you are looking to gain weight. It tastes like it should be a dessert. I suggest taking whey protein constantly as a meal replacement. Once in the morning, once in the afternoon, and once in the evening. DO NOT ONLY DRINK WHEY PROTEIN FOR MEALS You should have at least 6 small meals a day with whey protein being 3 of them.



Creatine-
This is really for preference. I would suggest taking it though, just so it can give you energy and keep your muscles rejuvenated so you can lift a little bit longer each day. Take it once in the morning, once before your workout, and once after your workout if you like. *A lot of people have heard to take it before bed, but be warned, it may keep you awake.



Workout-
I prefer isolation in contrast to upper body/lower body splits. I only have 4 days a week to workout so I try to isolate each muscle as much as possible. Here is a great site to help you plan a 4-day split, . Here is my split:

Monday-Chest/Biceps with cardio

Tuesday-Triceps/upper back/abs with cardio

Wednesday-Legs/Thighs/Lower back/Glutes with cardio

Thursday-Shoulders/abs with cardio


This is my personal split. Do not be afraid to change this up and make it your own.


SWITCH UP ROUTINE EVERY FEW WEEKS FOR MUSCLE CONFUSION AND BETTER GAINS.
