Done. Workout went a lot better then last week. I felt lighter then last week as well, I'm guessin it is from the diet since I always fell light my first 2 weeks off dieting. I did the 605 BRD sets because im having a hard time lockin out my right arm the last 1/2" so I thought I would get a few reps in.

I started Taking AtLarge Supps, Results along with ETS. I will keep everyone posted on what I noticed from these two Supps!

[Stumprrp]

damn your strong man! and DAMN big for 180 lbs! damn my neck is like 18.5-19 and my arms are 16.5 and im almost 240!

[BPM Osgood]

Thanks Brother, you got to remember Im 23 y/o and Have been lifting Super Hard for 9 Year Now! I personaly never thought I would been this strong or close to benching 600+lbs but now I have no doubt 700 will come sometime soon! (I hope this year, it will be close) So just stick with it bro and You will get there.

[smokinHawk]

nice to see you keep a journal here, will be great to watch your workouts
question for you what is your height and arm span, i'm curious.

[BPM Osgood]

lol Im a short Bro only 5'2"! Im not sure what my arm span is? Never thought to messure it!

You Got some great lifts Bro, Keep Up the Good Work. You have an awesome Raw Bench!

[Stumprrp]

oh crap your only 5'2 haha no wonder your so big.

for 23 years old your lifts kick ass, any squatting or deadlifting?

[smokinHawk]

lol Im a short Bro only 5'2"! Im not sure what my arm span is? Never thought to messure it!

You Got some great lifts Bro, Keep Up the Good Work. You have an awesome Raw Bench!

Thanks.

i figured though arm span has allot of how one can bench, not just height, though height can determine ones weight/muscle potential
im not to tall at 5'8" but i have a long arm span 72" (or 6'0") which makes my range of motion further on the bench, but helps with deadlifts.

[chris mason]

This journal needs to get some more play! Incredible lifting!

[BPM Osgood]

oh crap your only 5'2 haha no wonder your so big.

for 23 years old your lifts kick ass, any squatting or deadlifting?

I squated and deadlifted until I has just turned 18 y/o. But on April 2, 2002 I was hit by a Ford F-150 doing 60mph while I was walking. So I am unable to do those type of exercises anymore. My best DL was 462@148 at the '01 WABDL World Deadlift Championships. I cant remember what I Squat in my last meet.

I did squat last winter for 10 week, I hit 485x10 My last week of Squating. My Back just hurt so badly that it was not worth it to me anymore.

lil note, After i was hit by the truck the Doc's said the only season I had a bad back was from lifting and that the truck that hit me had nothing to do with it. I only won $11,000 and am unable to SQ, DL, Run, Hike... Ect. So DONT get hit by a truck while walking if your a lifter!! lol I got screwed BIG TIME

[BPM Osgood]

This journal needs to get some more play! Incredible lifting!

Thanks Chris, this lifts should be going up soon!!

[smokinHawk]

to be hit by a truck at that speed and live you have to be tough.

Well to start this off I have always Dreamed of Benching 600+ at 165lbs. This will put me in the All-Time Top 5 in the History of the World in the 165lbs Bench Class!

I will be Posting this in both my Training Log and on the here, the Powerlifting Forum. Im doing this because I want the Powerlifters to see the Results from dropping 25lbs and how it effects with my strength, Power and Size.

Now I have been Dieting since 2/7/08. So My Body Has changed over this time frame already. As of 3/15 I will be taking it to the next level and not having the junk days and keeping the diet Super Clean. As of Now Im around 190lbs, looking to drop 12-15lbs and then drop the rest in water weight like I normal.

As of 3/15th this is what my diet will Look like!

Meal 1
1 Scoop Nitrean in 2% Milk
4 Caps ETS
1 Cap Fish Oil
1 Vit.
Nitor - I will be working up to 3 caps over time.

Meal 2
8oz Chicken
6oz Yogurt

Meal 3
1 1/2 Cups Cottage Cheese 1%
1 Cup Apple Sauce
1 Cap Fish Oil
1 Vit.
Nitor

Meal 4 or 5 - depends on when I workout
8oz Chicken
6oz Yogurt

Results - 1 Hour Before I workout!

Meal 5 or 4!
1 Scoop Nitrean in 2% Milk

Meal 6
1 1/2 Cups Cottage Cheese 1%
1 Cup Apple Sauce
1 Cap Fish Oil
1 Vit.

This would be my Base Day around 40g Carbs at each Food Meal. From here I will start adding in Low Carb day, around 20g at each Food Meal. Once or Twice a week I will have a High Carb Day, around 60g of carbs at each Food Meal.

I will be posting Updates often! This Log will include Weekly Pics, BW, Diets, Vids, How I'm feeling, and my training log! I will Post my start Pics this coming weekend (they will be taken on 3/14).

I would like to thanks Chris Mason and ALN For helping me Get Motivated for this Dream of Mine! Let the Fun Begin!
