6'2 220 10%bf here so i'll weigh in..

just a horrible workout plan. circuit training of the type you described is for women. i like a 5x/week plan of:

1: chest/tris
2: back/bis
3: legs
4: shoulders/abs

mix in 3-4 sessions of 30-45 min cardio btwn 60-70% of heart rate max and that's at least a good maintenance schedule. it would help a bit more to know your goals in greater detail. since you seem to be bulking, know that you will inevitable gain some fat while putting on muscle (sans gear, but that's for a different thread). make sure and eat >30 g protein every 3-4 hours (~6 meals/day) and scale back the cardio in inverse correlation to how much mass you'd like to put on.

and lose your trainer because he sux. hit up google for specific exercises i'm too lazy

Well it makes perfect sense that these beginners hsould jump on the same plan as an experienced lifter that's 6'3 220 and 10% bf. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

thats irrelevant. the plan he has given you will add no mass. my plan (and someone else echoed it) is solid for all shapes. don't [censored] around with that faggy crap.

Starting off with your program for the first few weeks is ok. But after, you should focus on lifting heavy weights with low repetitions. You don't need any cardio as I am assuming you already have a low body fat %. Also, make sure to rest adequately between sessions. The biggest problem I find is people overtraining their bodies instead of focusing on strength and muscle building, which you want to do as a thin guy.

Brilliant.

totally agree with peter.. make sure and EAT. if you're an ecto, you absolutely must eat like it's your job. it's just as important as lifting

uh, have you seen LMD and geormiet?

When you first start, you will make good gains almost regardless of your work out. Infact, since you are new to working out, you are more prone to overtraining, which is detrimental to muscle growth.

bad advice for a beginner. the gains you make at first are substantial and you need that base if/when you choose to cross over to the dark side down the road. that said, you should be able to find some quality products in costa rica. but i advise against it.
