Lets Get Serious

[HighlyFanatic]

I finally decided to get "serious" about lifting weights. I'm surrounded by people that love to do it, and I share in that. Anyways, I'm 19 and I plan on pushing my body to its natural limits & seeing where that takes me. And yes I'm a freak cuz I love to stare at myself and pose in the mirror :cool:

Intro

I started lifting for definition when I was 17, but I realized that as I got more defined and cut it made me appear very skinny. So I didnt take weightlifting seriously. However, because i have a voracious appetite for reading about fitness/exercise I've rekindled my interest in starting out again. I started off using the WBB1 routine almost a year ago for 6 weeks, and I was impressed by the gains. Because I was happy with myself at that stage, I stopped lifting. Now it time to test my limits; no quitting tuttut

Goals

I'm initally training for mass (thicker everywhere), and later on strength & definition. I decided I need to really work on my lower body, because I dont want it to lag and ruin symmetry.

So basically: back, chest, shoulders, legs are my primary concern.

Hey,

Best of luck with it.

At your weight you wanna eat heaps, so watch that I'd say.

Personally I'm not too fond of the WBB programmes (sorry Maki!!) but a lot of guys on here love 'em and say they've worked really well for them, so train hard, eat loads and sleep... you'll make it.

Did Legs portion of WBB....

Notes to self: either eat solid food before workout, or drink pre-workout shake half an hour before working out (pre-workout shake didnt sit well after workout).

Man i am friggin sore right now, tommorrow (oh wait, im writing this at 2 in the morning) is gonna be a bitch

Highlights

Leg Presses--90x8 (3 sets)
Squats--95x8 (3 sets)
Leg Curls--3 sets (on the 6th pin)

6th pin...120lbs? I curl that, too. Its a bitch moving up once you get to the 100s because sometimes there arent increment rings on the machine.

Anyways, keep eating.

i havent gone to sleep yet still (im gonna regret this) i have to goto work in 4 hours anyways (8 AM) so i figure, forget it....cant sleep, not worth it.

www.geocities.com/lucky_gambino99/poses.html here are the gain comparisons (i posted those pics and my cold measurements on the 1st of Sept, the new measurements were taken on the 21st)

okay 3 weeks into my HST program. I love it so far, i think after my first cycle im gonna try a REVERSE PYRAMID routine, then go into another HST cycle.

basically i stepped up my eating from 2200 in the first week to 3000 calories. I revised my meal plan too, and DAMNIT, ive been eating the same stuff for 2 weeks, but it doesnt bother me cuz i'm seeing progress. i can actually feel my pecs now.

what im most happy about is my weight increase.... :)
