First entry into my journal -
People I think are nuts on this board and whom I'd like to give some pointers -
Maki (asian bro, lol), Yates, Genetically Gifted (:cry: ripped), Chris Mason, El Pietro (once I get a bit more size and a bit more handspeed - I'mma have at it with ya bro :)), BennettBoy, Belial... - a host of you guys - and most of all you guys who always seem to have something helpful to say.
Don't know what's a good policy on presentation but here are the facts:
Didn't know much about serious lifting till I hit this board.
Have taken 7 grams of supplemented creatine, 5 grams of supplemented protein in my entire life...lol, you get the idea - 1) I don't like putting stuff in my body, 2) try to keep things as natural as possible.
Lifted for around 3 years.
Ready to do this.
Best:
BB Press: 290X1 Predicted: 310X1 (just need to go ahead and do it finally)
Pull Ups: 25 X BW
Dips: 33 x BW
Cannot squat currently - seeing PT for repairs.
Cannot clean - same reasons.
:redface: That's not very many stats is it.
20 years old.
5'9.5" - 172 (hit 290 @ 165)
31" Waist (flexed)
15.5" Arms
15.5" Calves
tuttut
Don't know BF% but I've got quite a few striations (some packs, the rest of it).
Work a split: T - T - R - C - T - T - R - C
Few ending points:
My power index is around 800+ because my back is finally getting some attention paid to it (seeing OP/PT). It'll get to a thousand I think without too much worry.
Read an article by Yates on vitamins - that's something I'm definitely going to look into.
Wondering if besides Maki if there are any other people who can tell me why it seems like mainland asians seem to carry another layer of "fat?" on our skin. Trying to combat that now w/lower carbs/sodium, higher protein, etc.
Diet sucks I think mostly because of timing:
4-5 Chicken breasts per day or quite a few chicken thighs, either 1/2 lb lean ground beef or 1 can of tuna, 4 glasses of milk, white rice (:redface: ), whole wheat bread (4 slices), mixed salad (2 large handfuls), orange juice...I'll post times of meals out here soon.
Will post pics before too long - computer died on me.
Tomorrow, bi's...try to circulate all major muscle groups (pecs, back, legs, shoulders once every 8 days...and bi's/tri's/calves every 5)
I'm following a new plan which in general says "Do sets to failure. Reps from 5-7. 3-4 exercises. 12-15 sets." I apply it to every muscle group.
Aimed for protein: 130 grams.
Changes in diet coming: Brown rice, Sweet Potatoes will take the spot of white rice. Trying to add some other protein source in besides chicken and beef. My blood isn't too healthy - may have to take some blood medication soon.
Like I told Pietro and Maki respectively - I want to get faster and get ripped. Maybe an inch more here and there. I guess I'm a bodybuilder at the end of the day, but I have no intentions of moving only 300 on the bench (no offense to ANYONE who is sub 300, but for the size/build I'm looking for - I should be at 360/370) or having weak legs or a weak back.
Well, take it easy - and thanks for reading.
