    BigNics Journey to 215

    So ya im out of bootcamp and currently stationed in Corpsschool in Great Lakes, Il. Anyway i dont start clases for at least a month so ill be doing little jobs, ie shoveling snow ect, for the next month or so. I currently look like **** so i need to get back in the game. I hope to come out of school at around 200. I dont give a **** about bf. I will be pting several times a week so im just gonna crank up my food intake. Ill be eating several meals in the galley, 2-3 protein shakes a day, 1-2 bars, and probably a lot of mcdonalds. because thats more calories. I wont really be able to cook my own food because the barracks i live in only has a microwave. I hope to leave here 200 around 15 percent bf. Routine scheduled will be upper lower off upper lower off off.

    Feel free to spam, / clutter my journal. Thats how i like it.

    hehehe, going to 215 sounds excellent. With your high metabolism, you likely won't at that much bf, under 15 for sure.

    No need to cook, just down those shakes, add some carbs to them for extra calories and boom, massive Nick at 215!

    Good luck with the new post.

I did 91 pushups 90 situps and ran the mile an a half in 10 58. The enviorment is what sucked. Plus i was there for christmas new years and thanksgiving. But its cool, it is just one of those things ya gotta do. Now i just need to get ****ing huge. I picked some workout clothes and shoes up so im ready to go. Tomoro im gonna do an upper day

    thanks everyone. Decided to just stick with a real basic 3 day split instead. Basically a push pull legs split. Im still not sure if i want to incorporate deads and squats into this or not. Im leaning towards not, because i think that those two along with a bent over row is over training my lower back. For now i think ill stick with deads, and do 45 degree leg press sled as my main leg excercise. I chose this for a few reasons, mainly being that i really wanna get into some serious pulling, plus my new gym has a whole deck for deads and even has free chalk. Once i get my dead up i may switch but who knows, i dont even like squats too much anyway.

    Todays workout was depressing as hell. Ive lost a **** load of strength. Weighed myselft 166.5 in my drawers and socks. Got a long road ahead but im up for the challenge.

    Push

    Incline Db
    50sx10
    70sx6
    70sx6

    Dips
    bwx10
    +45x8

    Db Militaries
    35sx10
    50sx6-****ing pathetic

    Standing Laterals
    25x10/10

    Skull Crushers with oly bar
    45x10
    95x7

    Finished it off with a 3 part drop set on pushdowns. Then 10 minutes on the treadmill at a good pace with a 3 minute cool down.

    This workout obviously sucked weight wise compared to my old condition but i could actually feel the strength coming back so im sure ill be up to par within a month.

    Like getfit and chris mason said, your strength will come back, eventually.

    And like Crippler said, your session owns my strength, and I'm flipping heavier than you.

    lol pizd, i dont care. I just anticipate my bf getting no higher than 15. So ya, today i did my pull day. It sucked a big one. I kinda wanted to kill myself. I am not liking this split either. Im gonna have to switch it up somehow. Im surprised im even posting this ****.

    pullups
    bwx15
    bwx12

    T Bar Row
    1 platex15
    2 platesx7

    Db Shrugs
    70sx12
    90sx10
    90sx10

    some other dumb rowing machine for a couple sets.

    Hammer curls
    30sx10
    40sx10
    40sx8

    Whatever. Im trying not to stress it. It will just take a bit to get it better.

    On another note, i hate great lakes. I cannot handle these ****ing winters. Its freezing, and im on phase 1 liberty so i gotta travel everywhere on base by foot. Just now i got stuck in a lil snow storm coming home from the store. And to think of all my buddies stationed in pensacola fl, lucky bastards.

    Hope everyones havin a good day
