16Mar/11Off
How long until I see results from my work out routine?
I'm starting out small, with 3 sets of 10 dumbbell Flys, 3 sets of 10 bicep curls and hammer curls, and 5 sets of 20 sit ups. My problem is I have a eating problem and I rarely have an appetite, so I don't get much protein or nutrients. How will this effect the results I'm trying to get?

alright man well it depends what you want to get out of your workout, If you want to get big then i would go even higher with the reps i would do maybe 3 sets 15 and then 5 of 20 sounds alright on sit ups but you have to mix it up. And you have to work your whole body to see results. Depending how many days you work out you should have either a 5 day split or a 3 day split A 5 day would be Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. A 3 day split would be Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
When I say mixing it up if you do that same workout every time you go to the gym your body wont react to it after awhile and your results will seriously decline. So if you do fly’s One time next time do bench.
In order to grow you really need to work all your body parts though. This means have days where you do just legs and days where you do just arms and days when you do just chest or back.
Im assuming by your workout that you want to get bigger? Which means higher reps like what your at 10 but you should also go up to 15 and sometimes even have failure sets (where you do a certain set with a lighter weight and go until you can’t anymore). You have to "shock" your body and it will grow fast.
However the thing more important than the lifting itself is the nutrition. And you really need to give your body the proper nutrients or you will not grow at all. It sucks every weightlifter/bodybuilder goes through this you have to eat when you don’t want to and you will probably get gas from the protein. You should have about 1 gram of protein per body weight and about 1.5 if your really trying to get bigger.
The most important times to take a protein shake or eat are right away when you wake up, before your workout, after your workout, and right away before bed. However you should have a small lunch, dinner, and breakfast as well. Your eating schedule will depend what time you workout. You should also eat lighter on days that you dont workout.
I hope I helped, contact me if you have anymore questions i’m willing to help and even make you a workout plan and a nutrition plan to your needs.

Supplement your diet with protein shakes its way easier to drink..if u cant eat. But get a natural kind cuz otherwise ur getting nasty chemical sweeteners that studies have suggested are linked to cancer overtime
