I think I have a bad w/o plan and that im underweight

[42-Colrath]

I was working my chest, bi's, tri's, and back twice a week.
Mon-Back, Chest, Bis
Tues-Shoulders, Tris, Legs
Thurs-Back, Chest, Bis
Fri-Shoulders, Tris, Legs

That is what my trainer told me to do. I guess I was doing it all wrong lol. For a while too. So I was thinking about separating the groups into a push/pull/legs split. Somebody in another post said it was where you do push exercises on monday
pull exercises on wednesday
legs on friday... etc.

The split is also known as chest/tris, back/bis, legs. How many exercises would I have to do, for example on the chest and tris day? Im skinny by the way. 5'9 and 150. How much more should I eat? Its May 29th I wanna make some gains so when i get back to school on aug. 9th people notice a good physical change of me

If you are hungry throughout the day you are not eating enough.

The only time you should ever feel hungry is when you wake up.. then have breakfast at most 30min after.

Eat more. If you do not eat you do not grow.

Not to argue with your personal trainer, but I'm not seeing this working out. Back and chest on the same day? If you go hard, you will not be able to do this workout with much intensity.

Try going..

Monday Chest
Wednesday Legs
Friday Back

do assistance exercises, majority of which should be compound movements.
Focus on the big three my friend.

no wonder you're feeling underweight.
Where the **** is that back exercise?

Skilla and EFFORT should set you on the right track.

Also, from the man upstairs:

Do your 1 x 15 on a rack deadlift (2" below knee level) and use straps so you don't pull unevenly.

So all I have to do is this and I will get built?? Ive always thought I would have to do so much more than this. Especially because of my current routine where my list of exercises goes on and on.

Less is more when it comes to weightlifting for the majority of people.

'Tis true. My 'This is a good routine. May need work" thread is a good place to start. A few heavy compound movements will build a hell of a lot more mass than a butt load of isolation movements.
