Won't Stop, Won't Quit, and Won't EVER Give Up!

[JustinF]

Nice work bro. I think you're thinking too much about the weight. You should let the mirror be the judge, and not worry about how much actual weight vs water weight you have.

Diet and sessions are looking on point. Keep it up!

[Chubrock]

Thank ya JustinF. Yea I probably am worrying too much about weight, but I guess since this is my first actual bulk, I'm trying to get everything exact. You're right though, I should let the mirror be my guide.

Diet sucked today. It started out fairly good, but didn't have a good source of protein for lunch, and then I had an away tennis match tonight. We ate on the way back, and by the time we stopped to get something to eat I was starving. It was either eat something unhealthy or just not get anything the rest of the night. Protein was low as hell, fat was high, but one day won't make or break me.

On a side note, we won the tennis match. We're the Conference Champs for the second year in a row.

Well I had a great start to the day. Misjudged the totals on some of the stuff I ate, and thought I would end on a great note totals wise. Didn't know honey mustard dressing had some much damn fat and carbs and didn't realize raisans had so many carbs. Fat as well as calories were higher than I wanted them to be. Now I know some important info. though so this is a learning experience.

Well, I got in the gym and I was so pumped up. Once I started lifting though, it just didn't seem like I had it today. Everything went up fine, but I just didn't have the explosiveness. I wanted to move up in a bunch of lifts Friday, but I don't see that happening, and I don't wanna move too early. Triceps and Bicep lifts may go up though and I might move up slightly on squat.


Played about 2hrs of tennis today, so maybe that will balance out my extra fat and calories today.

Overall the workout went great. I went into the gym thinking I wasn't going to be able to move up in anything, but I guess I was wrong. Once I started lifting, everything seemed to fall in place. I'm especially proud of getting 135 for 10 reps after I had done 125 for 10. I actually think I could have gotten some more on the squat but that will have to wait till' next Monday. Overall it was a great day.

Quote of the Day-"Be Tough Be a Horse"

[ryuage]

you need to eat more then that if you want to gain

[Chubrock]

Yeah ryuage, I do need to eat quite a bit more than that. I usually take in 3000 or a little more but yesterday was an off day. I woke up late, my fridge wasn't stocked up like I thought, and then I had to attend my sister's dance recital. It seemed like all my meals were screwed up. I'll just have to make sure I eat enough today. On another note, I'm friggin ready to get back in the gym. I just wanna be liftin somethin' instead of sittin' around. Tommorow will be a good day, I can feel it.

[Chubrock]

Gonna post some updates from when I started the Full Body Workout. My first day on it was 4/07. All these gains come over a 3.5 week period.

4/07 5/02

Squats: 175lbs x 6 200lbs x 6 25lb gain
Leg Curls: 90lbs x 6 110lbs x 6 20lb gain
Benchpress: 115lbs x 10 135lbs x 10 20lb gain
T-Bar Rows: 60lbs x 8 70lbs x 8 10lb gain
Cable Curls: 50lbs x 10 70lbs x 10 20lb gain


I've made some pretty good gains over the last 3.5 weeks. I'm startin' to really like this workout. There are several other lifts I've gained in, but I don't do them every week. I usually do different shoulder workouts every other lift day, and my shrugs I do on different pieces of equipment, that's why I'm not listing those gains.

[ryuage]

I usually try and go by my avg weekly calories rather then daily.

[Chubrock]

Yea, right now my avg is pretty close to 3000, which is what I'm shooting for.

Overall the food wasn't that bad. I could have made a couple of better choices. My protein level was a little lower than normal.

My weight today was 162 which means I lost a pound over the last week. I don't really think this is the case though, and it just may have been water weight that I lost.

I was pumped up before this workout. I decided to push myself a little on squats, and upped my workout weight. When I got to the last rep of the 205 set, I went down way to fast and went way past parallel. I ended up going ATF on the last rep, but I came straight back up with it. The benches were filled up and I jumped in on somebody's workout to get my first set in. After that I had to wait for like 15minutes before I could bench again. Because I workout by myself, I have to pull the weight off the rack by myself, and I usually use the bench that lets me move the weight only a small distance before its off. For my last set, I had to use a bench that has the bar resting a lot closer to my chest, and it took a lot more energy to get it up. My tempo was all screwed up doing the 145lbs and I ended up only getting it up 6 times. That dissapoints me greatly, but it also fuels the fire to throw it up 8 times next time I lift. Today was a good day, and I left the gym with my whole body feeling like jello. I'm already ready for Wed. so I can get back in there.

nice job on bench and squats dude

nothing wrong with ATF i love em

[Chubrock]

HAHA thank ya Jotosuds, going ATF sure makes it a whole new ball game. I'm going to continue doing regular parallel squats but once I'm able to use 225lbs for 6 reps, I may switch to ATF.

Well everything today was horrible. It started out good, but ended on a bad note. We had the conference tournament today, so I had to leave early and drive an hour to the destination. I ended up spending roughly 7hours in the sun without anything to eat, and by the time I was able to get something the only place we McDonalds. The fat in all my food sucked, but I think I worked it off playing tennis this afternoon. I'm just mad I didn't get my calories in.

This workout was INTENSE. I finished the entire workout in 25 minutes, because I had a tennis match to go to. I basically would finish a lift, put new weight on, take a breath, and then climb back under it. The burn at the end was awesome. God I love workin' out.


Today was a great day. My diet was good, my workout was even better, and best of all, me and my tennis partner won the doubles tournament, which makes us the best doubles team in the conference. It was a great day.

Well totals were pretty good today. Calories should have been slightly higher. Kinda odd to see my fat levels this low, but I did eat pretty lean stuff today. I'll tell ya what guys, getting in all these calories is hard work. I didn't have a sandwich earlier today, so I had to cram extra calories in at the end. It was a hard job gettin all that food down. Oh well, whatever it takes.
