Another Hardgainer's Journal

[mrburns]

Well I've been lurking around these forums for a few months now, and recently decided to get serious about lifting. I've been lifting on and off for about a year now and went from 136 lbs. to 150, but some journals ive been following have motivated me to get serious :rolleyes:

I'm a 19 year old computer geek, 6" tall and as I said before 150 lbs. dont laugh please! on to the workout, im going to do WBB1 for 2-3 months and see what kind of gains i can get.

[MM]

Eat. EAT. EAAAAAATTTTT.

Seriously. When someone asks you if you're hungry, you need to yell "FEED ME!" and proceed to eat anything in sight.

Good luck.

Man this was an AWESOME workout. Somewhat challenging, and I felt SUPER afterwards. I cannot wait to make progress with this workout. I love the compound exercises. Also, I was wondering if it's ok for me to use dumbbells instead of the barbells? Any comments are appreciated, later!

i forgot to add a little more to the last post. i supplement with multivitamins and drink a ****LOAD of water throughout the day as well. also, i picked up some vitamin E, D, flax seed oil and calcium too, hopefully that will help out a bit.

hey everyone, i have a quick question about the leg section of WBB #1.

my gym has a piece of **** leg curling machine so i was curious if it was ok for me to replace those two sets for two more sets of squats? or perhaps just take them out alltogether? thanks in advance.
