6'1", 180lbs.? That sounds pretty slim. Sounds like you need to bulk up. Keep in mind, in order to gain, you're going to have to EAT, and not Taco Bell, that shit should be illegal. It's important to make sure your routine covers all body parts IMO. Make a decent all around routine and eat like a mutha and you should be good. Gonna take a while to look like Roy Jones Jr. though... :eek:

Well first you are doing to many reps. You should want to stay in 6-12 rep range if you want to get bigger like Jones. Also you are doing to many sets, 2-3 sets is good. I would recommend getting your self some kind of protien shakes or bars (I use Shakes) and eat alot is all I have to say. Eat atleast 3 meals a day to bulk up.

Make that 6 small meals vice the previously mentioned 3. Eating more often speeds up your metabolism and will nourish your body throughout the day keeping you in postive nitrogen balance.

Roy Jones Jr.
Hey bro,
Just a few things to take in to consideration:
1. In your photo, Roy Jones Jr. was only a super middleweight, which means he was fighting at/or around 169lbs, and he's only 5'11 tall. It's awesome to have an idol you want to look like, but keep in mind that Roy is extremely genetically gifted (which always helps). A guy like Jean Paul Mormeck may be a better goal for you to set for yourself, because he's around your height and his walk around weight is about 200lbs. He's also completely ripped. Do a google search under his name and you'll see what I mean. He just won the undisputed cruiserweight title about a month ago.
2. I think the best part of Jones physique is his abs, and you mentioned them exclusively in your thread. I have Roy Jones Jr's work out routine if you really want to do exactly what he does every day. (Let me know if you do, and I'll post it on here). I have interviewd Roy Jones Jr. several times, and I am very familiar with his workout routines. But I gotta tell you straight up, that after looking at your current routine, and knowing Roy's, there is a huge difference. You seem to only work abs a couple of days a week and at that, for only 30 or so reps. Roy Jones has been doing 1000 crunches a day (every day, with no days off) for aproximately 25 years now. That's why his abs petrued the way they do. His average ab work out is a good solid hour and a half every day, and that doesn't take in to consideration the amount of time he spends with weights and with his boxing. The reason why a lot of boxers have tight abs is simply because their workouts are very high in cardio activity. Lots of running (usually about 6 miles first thing in the morning) and then skipping, sparring, hitting the mits and speed bag etc. Also, when Roy Jones does his ab workout, he usually does it like a circuit (which is common in boxing) in other words, he might do 200 crunches, then 100 leg raises, followed by 50 roman chair sit-ups, without taking a break. You should maybe start by doing your 30 declines the way you do, but then immediately drop to the ground and do 30 leg raises, then sit up and do sit ups til failure. Repeat that 2 times, with every work out you do, and increase the numbers every week. Other than that....good luck. (let me know if you want that routine)
