Eat Big, Get Strong! My Journal to become Bigger and Stronger!

[Mademan118]

Well Ive Decide to Start a Journal. I started one in the past, and well i kinda stopped. This time im going to Lock down on this and report back every day. Right now im sort of doing a mini bulk, then cutting back down. i will get pictures up as soon as somoeone from my family gets back (they all went on a camping trip and im home alone cause of work). Lets start with todays Workout:
Incline Bench:
Warm Up:10x95, 10x115
Strenght Sets: 8x135, 7x155, 5x 165
DB Bench:8x60, 8x70, 4x80
Dips: 10xBW, 10xBW+25
Tricep Pushdowns: 10x130, 8x150
SkullCrushers: 2 x 8 x 75
ABS:
Cable Crunches: 20 x 110, 20 x 120
Hanging Leg Lifts: 2 x 20

Diet:
Was pretty ****ty as we have no food left in the hosue. Tomorrow is Grocery SHopping:
1: Oatmeal
2: Sandwich
3: Protien Shake
4: pizza

Im going to start a diet similar to this but with less protien and more carbs tomorrow:
1: 1 cup Oats with 1 scoop whey in oatmeal
Cals: 390 P: 33gs C:54gs F: 6

2: 6 Chicken and some sort of veggie, usually green beans
Cals: 409 P: 33gs C: 14 F:24

3: 2 Slices Wheat Bread with 5 slices Lunch Meat, Lettuce, Tomatos
Cals: 200 P:15gs C: 28g F:2g

4: 1 tins of tuna cut up on to a salad with tomatos
Cals: 187 P: 40 C: 1 F: 0

5: Same as 2
Cals: 409 P: 33g C: 14g F: 24

6: 1.5 Cups Cottage Cheese, Apple, 2 tbsp ANPB
Cals: 479 P:43g C:37 F: 16g

7: Opticen.
Cals: 323 P: 52g C: 25g F: 2

Total:
Cals: 2397
Protien: 248
Carbs: 173
Fat: 74

Something Similar to that but im goign to find a way to drop protien down to about 200 and get carbs up to about 220. Any suggestions suggest away! Also one more thing. Im coming off of a 1800 cal cutting diet... thats why the cals are kinda low. Ill bump them up as i go....

today i took off from workin out. Im giong to workout tomorrow though, shoulders. Diet was pretty much what was posted up above. Keepin it clean! Well later i will post more later. Also i notice a slight pain in my back on my right side near the top of my shoulder. Dont know what it is but its bothering me.

[Mademan118]

6/24/04
Alright Todays workout was a 2 in 1. My gym is going to be closed tomorrow and i didnt watn to miss my leg workout. So i did Legs + Shoulders today, and it was a great workout! Here it is
Squats: 20x 135, 225 x 8, 255x 3, 185x 10*
SLDL: 155 x 10, 175 x 8
Lunges (DB): 35 x 40 foot walk, 40 x 40 feet*
Leg Curl: 8 x 110, 4 x 140
Leg Extension: 10 x 140, 8 x 160
Shoulders:
DB Shoulder press: 10 x 40, 8 x 50, 6 x 60
Front Lat Raises (DB): 2 x 8 x 30, 1 x 6 x 35
Side Lat Raises (DB): 2 x 8 x 20, 1 x 6 x 25
Rear Delt (dont knwo what its called but i did it with DB): 2 x 30 x 8, 8 x 35
Shrugs (DB): 10 x 80, 8 x 85, 6 x 85
Upright Rows: 8 x 75, 6 x 95

For squats i was really surprised i could do that much weight. Ive been battling a knee injuries for the past year which has kept me out of the squat rack. I probably shouldnt go so heavy but ill jus deal with it.
For lunges i walked about halfway across the room which is about 40 feet.
I Didnt like the idea of doing both of these workouts on the same day as i left out calves and abs again. I could barely walk after my leg workout (i did it after shoulders). So im going to do it later on today i think.

Meals:
1: 1 cup oats with 1 scoop Protien, some Raisins
2: Post Workout Shake: 2 scoops whey, 10gs glut.

Nice workout :evillaugh

[Mademan118]

I dont have a gym membership cause its free to workout at school. but i dont mind. but yea i dont know this is the worst case of soreness ive ever had. I went super heavy when i havent done squats in MONTHS! im just glad i still have the strenght in my legs.

[BIG C]

Good Job!!

[Mademan118]

thanks today is a late workout and im just going to do forearms calves and abs. tomorrow is shoulders.

[Mademan118]

didnt even workout today. Football coach wa sbein a dick and as soon as i got there he was drillin me on why i should play football and the potential i have. I told him to **** off and leave me alone and i left the gym. I honestly want to play football so bad, but not for a school like this. But im trying to get serious about working out, then having to worry about football and **** which here is a pointless sport for me to jus sit and ride the bench my senior year when i can go to any other school and start

[Spartan936]

*sobs* beatiful man. Nice.

[Mademan118]

im goin in the morning where its usually just me and this other kid that i work out with. We always challenge ourselves cause have a spot and its great. Plus there arent any coachs there ot pester us or anything.

[Mademan118]

*******NEW SECTION OF JOURNAL. ALL THIS INFO IS AFTER A SUMMER BERAK FROM EVERYTHING!******

okay well im back guys. Summer time after that last post i stopped working ou and my diet went ot ****. I ended up getting kicked out of the gym the entire summer but now im back in my school gym. Ive been workin out for the past 2 months with some pretty good gains. Here is my new stats:
Height: 5'9
Weight 176-181 depends on water weight but between there
BF: Im guessing around 12-14%. I can see 4 pack abs just relaxing and breathing no 6-pack
Diet: Prety ****ty diet to be honest. Im cleaning it up though here is what i ate today:
Meal 1: 1/2 cup oatmeal, 1/4 cup milk, pinch of cinnamon. 7 am
Meal 2: Huge salad with tomatos boiled eggs, ham, and carrots. Little bit of ranch, 11:35
Meal 3: Opticen Shake 3:30
Meal 4: Spaghettie and 1 huge piece of bread 6:30
Meal 5: in a little bit 1 cup cottage cheese 8:30-9
Meal 6: I dont know yet.

Like i said not the best. I am goign to throw a pbj sandwich between meals 1 and 2 but im in school and it is extremely hard to eat during the class periods and pass ways. But im working on it and today i had alot of carbs, tomorrow and for the future im sticking to chicken.

Supplements: Right now just Opticen. Im to broke to even afford protien so i jus take opticen at the end of my school day. As soon as i get my debts takin care of i will be purchasing ON whey and CEE

Todays Workout: Back n Biceps n Abs
Deadlifts: 135x6, 185x6, 225x6, 315x6<-- PR right there.
Lat Pulldown: 220x4, 200x6, 200x6
Pull Ups: 3x6
V-bar pulldowns: 180x8, 190x8
BB Curls: 65x6, 75x6, 95x4
Incline DB Curls: 30x6, 40x6
Hanging Leg Lifts: 3x10
Cable Crunches: 150x3x10
Crunches: 3xfailure

Thats all for todays workout. Pretty good. I usually have less lat pulldown in there but i broke the machine that i use for my rows last week. The handle snapped off while i was lifting so its pretty lame. But im goign to bent over rows soon.

Like i said im back into and strogner then ever. Im goign to clean up my diet alot more and i cant decide if i want bulk, maintain, or cut. I hate gaining weight and having that chubby look, but i want to get bigger. I will think about this one. So please Comment and post some feedback to my thread!
