Been lurking around this site for a while, so I figured, ah, what the hell, take the plunge.
Always have been the skinny nerd throughout school (biology major currently, although most of you seem to know biology better than me! ;-). Started working out seriously this summer, been figuring out how to do things right every day since then.
Stats:
5-7, 150 lbs.
DB Bench: 45x6
Squat: 135x5
SLDL: 115x5
DB Shoulder Press: 35x6
One Arm DB Row: 45x6
BB Curl: 65x6
Goals:
5-7, a solid 160 lbs. by January 1, 2003 (yeah, that's right, one of my goals is to stay the same height)
Also by Jan. 1, 2003
DB Bench: 60x6
Squat: 200x6
SLDL: 200x6
DB Shoulder Press: 50x6
One Arm DB Row: 65x6
BB Curl: 80x6
Long-Term Goal:
Living to see 200--longevity, baby!
Diet:
Eat pretty much the same thing every day (turkey, eggs, chicken, etc.). Right now, I'm taking in about 2300 cals per day (197 g protein, 229 carb, 70 g fat), although I'm upping that slowly each week from now on till I get 3000. All that protein is just a by-product of what I eat, not a bunch of protein shakes. Only guzzle a one-scoop post-workout shake, and that's it for supps.
Cardio:
Strolling around campus with a backpack weighing me down for a good portion of each day.
I like to split up the workouts into little pieces, so there are some days where I only do two or three exercises for a certain bodypart and get the hell out of the gym. I know it's probably more ideal for me to slow down and do a full-body thing a couple times a week as a relative newbie, but I ain't got the time! So, here goes.
Today: 9/5/02
Leg Day
Squat: warmup with the bar
95x10
115x8
135x5
Leg Ext. 90x10
90x8
90x6
Mainly do these to get an extra burn in the quads. Don't really worry about the weight.
SLDL warmup
95x8
115x5
Leg Press Calf Raises: 135x10
155x10
155x10
Usually hit the gym late afternoon, worked out around 12-ish today, 'bout 2-3 hours after I got up, and that does NOT WORK. Felt zilch in terms of energy and struggled with the lifts. Felt good to struggle down the stairs afterward though, having not done squats in a while.
Gonna rest up, study for a couple of hard-core exams, and hit the grind again Monday. Oh, yeah, and Philadelphia will kick Jacksonville's ass come Sunday.
