Just wanted to say I stumbled upon your videos and im just getting back in the gym from a 5 year hiatus. I am pretty out of shape 5'6 and i'm at 178 lbs. In this video you recomned doing this for a month should I do this the whole month three to four days a week. Or should I also incorporate the beginners lower body regiment too.
Lee i wanna know something if you could possible answer my question..As my flat bench and incline bench press improved why did my decline get worse? I don't understand because before my decline was much better than my incline.
Generally most people are stronger with decline, then flat, and weakest on the incline. But if you've been focusing a lot of your incline and flat bench then they may temporarily be stronger then your decline. However if you focus hard on decline benching for several weeks your strength should increase at that angle as well.
Hi Lee a single question for you firstly i love watching your training guides and tips. O.K do you sell traing dvds asking because being just a level 2 instructor i am always looking for different training methods/ways due to the fact that we have to help train people with different problems joint probelms and i am after dvds that have alternate training exercises and also a weight loss fat loss programs could you do something like that, ps i am always delighted when i get an email from you.
HI, HOW R U "? I AM FROM PAKISTAN & AM JOINING GYM FROM TOMORROW. I M 6 BUT SO SKINNY... I NEED A DIET CHART & PLZ TELL ME WHICH EXERCISES R BETTER FOR ME TO GAIN WEIGHT SOON... THANK U SO MUCH.
Hi Lee, great video .I am starting the gym tomorrow to get fit for the summer. I am 16 st.5ft 10 and 40% body fat..Do I need to cut down on my carbs and lose weight and do lots of cardio..or should I do lots of weights and concentrate on getting big rather than ripped?
You still need to perform weight training. But at 40% bodyfat you need to get leaner. That should be your #1 priority. I've got a good program that can help you with this called "Extreme Fat Loss" which is available at: LeeHayward. com/dvd
Hey Lee, I need your advice on my training schedule.. I feel like changing my training regime.. currently,it's a 6day gap between training per body part before I hit it again...
What is the minimum recommended rest period for a body part that you would reckon is good for bulking up? I guess it's higher for a complex part such as the back.. but is a 3-day gap good enough before I can train it again??
Working each major muscle group once a week is ok. Most bodybuilding workouts are based around that frequency. But you could try doing 2 smaller workouts each week per muscle group rather than 1 big workout. If you are looking for a change check out my 12 Week Program. Just google "Lee Hayward's 12 Week Program" and you'll find it.
hey lee,,u have said here to do a series of push after each exercise,,and from today i will start doing push up after each exercise not only in the work out that u have said but in diferrents like after each bench press i will do a set of push up...and after each shoulder work out another set of push up,,like that..................so is this good????
I actually have the workout outlined in the video description above. I didn't mean to do push ups between every exercise. I just meant to alternate back and forth between opposing muscle groups.
If you wake up in the middle of the night and you are hungry you can eat something light. I usually have a protein shake pre made and kept in the fridge just in case I wake up during the night. And if I don't wake up during the night I'll just drink it in the morning.
hey Lee, i've started this routine, but im still waiting for the leg workout routine, u could just tell me which exercises are to be done, bcuz i know how to perform lots of major exercises with good form thanks 2 u already anyway.. so yeah :) thanks for this
yeah! keep up with your videos; perfect trainer, but a little bit of more high-def vids would be appreciated. OH! I forgot to mention, why don't you upload some videos on- ' how to increase forearm muscles' using dumbbells? .............
@leemhayward hey lee, i go to the gym 3 times a week, when would you reccomend i take my protein shake? and do you have any videos on streching muscles
Good beginner video Lee, you always have great information and tips for new lifters and advanced lifting as well.
I've been following you for 2 years and I have lost 120 pounds in that time while putting on some muscle. I still have a long way to go to be where I want to be, but it's a marathon not a sprint right? ;)
Glad to see your channel is getting the attention it deserves. Keep it up!
lee, I want to know if there's any limit on how many grams of protein am I allowed after workout. currently, I'm drinking protein shake with 88 grams for post workout. is that OK? I'm 185 lbs, 5'11". thank you for all your help.
thank you for this lee, i have recently had to stop going to the gym and eating properly because of an operation on my jaw and ill be getting back into things soon after haveing about 8 weeks off and this will be very good for me :D
Lee in full HD!!!!!! The three day split routine is killer and then ad an extra 20 min of cardio. On my way to 6 pack abs in no time. Thanks Lee for all the useful info.
@leemhayward Is there any way u can determine your body type without knowing your body? Cus im only 16 and i wanna know what my body type is but i dont have the experience to "know" my body yet...So is there any tell tail signs of what your body type is? Beside the obvious ones lol
man did you make this video with the new stuff youtube gave you? it looks awesome , im definitely using this routine cuz im coming back to the gym after two weeks and i feel very weak already , great video¡¡¡¡
Yeah, I'm using the new canon camera, the green screen, and I'm editing the videos in Final Cut Pro X. Trying to up the quality all around... No more half assed videos shot on a shitty cam and put together in movie maker :-)
great video lee! love how u doing this for beginners. sometimes us that have been training a few years need to go back to the basics just to mix it up....btw the 2 ppl that disliked this prolly follow ian mcstruthers...
@cucoesttzu you cant really widen your chest. TMW just recently answered a question like yours but were laughing at the fact he said flys were "widening" his chest. because you cant really widen it. But to make your chest have more mass, and be bigger and stick out more you can just stick with chest exersizes. There's no secret key to bigger muscles it's just time and dedication. Stick with it, keep adding weight when your ready and your muscles will get bigger
It is also about the variety of workouts you put towards your chest exercises, not really much of weights. It is because your chest will get used to the strain you put on with weights, no matter how much more you put on. The key is variety of work outs, time and weights.
Thanks for the reply. Though i don't think I explained myself correctly. I have forward bulk, and the more i work out, the more i get, but I want to push it to the sides, that's what i mean by widen it, not just bigger, but wider. If that's what you meant by your response, then thank you! But if not I'll appreciate any suggestions.
@cucoesttzu the only exersize i can think of that works really well and might actually give your chest a wider look is (don't know the name) but you get on your knees and hold a dumbell in each hand palms facing you like your at the top of a bicep curl. Then extend one arm upward till it's basicly straight, palm still facing you. Then bring it back down into the starting position and alternate arms doing that. it works the muscles in the chest between chest and shoulder. learned it from AthleanX
If you are doing weights, then the bar is the problem. If you put your hands closer inwards, then it affects your chest(bulk out). Think of this.......the further your hands are apart, the more you exercise the sides.....lol it worked for me :)
I'd suggest you focus mostly on the upper chest (i.e. doing incline bench work). This is what most people lack and it generally helps add shape to the chest, especially for more advanced lifters. Also be sure to include incline bench dumbbell flyes with each chest workout to stretch out your chest. As you get more advanced doing stretching exercises are really important for maximizing your growth.
I am not Lee, but i can still help you out man......For what i do to bulk them up, i usually do bench presses to make it faster, but if you don't have weights, then i suggest just the normal push ups, and when you get better at it, you will start to notice that your hands is lowering to the sides of your chest, and you will get comfortable with it. Back to one=push ups and when you get better with it, try spartan push ups and bench presses. It is easy to do out of all.
@678Freelancer Actually i forgot to say im not a beginner exacly im working out 1 1/2 year i do all the well known exercises for upper chast i dont wanna post them 1 by 1 anyway dont see serious results but lots ppl tell me it takes quite some time ....( well how long i cant wait 5 6 0r 7 yrs for god sakes!
I am not a beginner as well, been doing it for at least 6 years now.....so you kinda come across a few things that works.....like me when i was beginner, i had 3 days, and not even an hour worth of exercises, and my biceps were already pumped. Anyways it's not all about that, but there are some that doesn't really take long like that story i just told you about.
@678Freelancer Well i couldnt consider myself as a beginner as well i dont need to lose fat i have endurance im not a wimp lol , so biceps and get pumped enough i dont blame but the upper chest area and of course the legs are the difficult/stubborn area legs actually are for most men (.... its like im not working it out (upper chest) and i do use serious weight im not spendin my time at the gym ha... and also do correct the exercise ...i dont know maybe the genes........(
The chest is pretty easy bro, the legs is the challenging part......i do alot of things, well.....it looks like i need to buy a camera and show yous lol. Which of course ill get to have one in 6 months lol......we got no stores that sells cameras.
@pantsiosk If you don't have a bench press do pushups to failure then into the pushup position shown in the video where you are on your knees.Do that till failure which shouldn't take long since you just worked till failure on normal pushups. If you have dumbells lie on the ground and do some chest flys with weight your comfortable with. Do some chest press on the ground with weight your comfortable with. If you don't have weights. just do like 3 sets of those pushups i talked about, it's hard!
i would do the same exact thing except replacing leg raises with back extensions and maybe after a week or two add in 3 isolation movements: chest fly, lateral raise and reverse fly.
I like your no B.S approach and that you don't try to put people down. As always lee a quality video that I think beginners could really benefit from.
This is a simple beginners workout. The idea is to start people off gradually. Not overloading them with too much, too soon. If you are more advanced and want a more advanced workout just check out the 3 day bodybuilding split routine, the link is in the video description above.
Working stubborn muscles twice a week is one strategy that you can use. I actually use that in the Blast Your Biceps program during phase 2 of the program.

I've got a video called: "Do You Have One Arm Bigger Than The Other" that talks about this.

i would do the same exact thing except replacing leg raises with back extensions and maybe after a week or two add in 3 isolation movements: chest fly, lateral raise and reverse fly.

In the Playlist link in the description of this video there is a 3 day split routine with more exercises.

@leemhayward i know man, been lifting for 3 years. I'm just saying that both our beginner's workouts are very similar.

I like your no B.S approach and that you don't try to put people down. As always lee a quality video that I think beginners could really benefit from.

@shalesyci Your triceps are worked during chest, and your biceps during back

@shalesyci You'll be hitting arms with the chest and back exercises indirectly.

This is a simple beginners workout. The idea is to start people off gradually. Not overloading them with too much, too soon. If you are more advanced and want a more advanced workout just check out the 3 day bodybuilding split routine, the link is in the video description above.

Working stubborn muscles twice a week is one strategy that you can use. I actually use that in the Blast Your Biceps program during phase 2 of the program.
