lost in training...need advice

I've been going in and out of working out for about 2 years now, i'm 18, 5''7, 138 lbs.

I give up sometimes and restart training between a few months due to little to no results showing.

here's my routine for every exerice: 3 sets of 7 reps
I can do 40 lbs chest fly 50 lbs priest curl, 30 lbs tricep curl,160 lbs deltoid pull-down,100 lbs squats and 300 lbs leg press.

Bench press isnt my thing because of persistant shoulder pains caused in an accident. But any other weight training i can do just as well as anyone else.

I bought some creatine, the GNC kind, to improve strength but I realized it has to be consumed VERY regularly or else whatever resistance the muscles gained were lost, I'm aiming towards getting a protein powder since I heard the muscle mass gained is not lost.


btw for those ppl that always flame, I'm not going to challenge you into who can bench 500 lbs or whatever I just need advice so that my training could be improved.
thanks alot.
 
Welcome bro,

Bodybuilding is a way of life. You might not see results after a couple of months. Don't quit keep going. Take a pic every month to see your progress.

Secondly you have to eat...alot. 6 times a day. Lots of protien ie tuna, chicken ect. Eat carbs. They'll help you with energy.

Here is a split for you to try

Monday - Chest/Biceps
Tuesday - off
Wednesday - Legs
Thursday - off
Friday - Back/Triceps
Saturday - off
Sunday - Shoulders

Focus on the BIG THREE Squat, Deadlift, and bench (see if dunbbells help with the shoulder pain) . Heavy weight rep range 6-8.

Hope that helps
 
I like to keep track of all my workouts in a log so I know if im gaining strength and also keep track of my body measurements. That way you can see in writing if you made progress. Sometimes the eye can be decieving. Make sure to get alot of protein (1-1.5grams per pound of bodyweight) and do basic compound lifts in the low rep range. No more than 10. Get plenty of rest and you will be doin' great! Good luck man!
 
Yeah every couple weeks I record you arm and chest measurements as well as your weight. Maybe once a month would be better?
