When I get into a rhythm at with school demands, I go 5 days a week after classes. Typically, I break the days up as follows:

Mon: Chest, abs, cardio
Tues: upper and lower back, cardio
Wed: Shoulders, abs, cardio
Thurs: monster leg workout, cardio
Fri: arms, abs, cardio

Over a Jan-April time period, this structure added 35lbs to my bench and 20lbs of muscle. Of course, I supplemented with whey protein, etc. Typically, complex lifts were 4 sets of 6 and isolations were 3 sets of 8. I don't tune my workouts to biking fitness though - just general muscle-building.

19, 6'1", 180, btw.

Unnecessary? What makes you say that? He wants to get ripped -probably already is- and 4-5 days a week, supplementing with whey and creatine, and a good meal structure is the best way to do it. Honestly, most bodybuilders would say he's underdoing it with only two supplements, only going 4 days a week and only eating 6 meals.

See above post for everything that is wrong with some people's attitude towards working out. Over-competitive macho stupidity. You sound like you got something to prove mate; well, you're 15 so I wouldn't expect much more. How about you stick to your workout, and he sticks to his?
