Justin's Journal


(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)




Posted by: Eggs

Hello all and welcome to my new journal!

I'm going to start journaling again to keep myself on task and see how I improve over some time. I've kinda been taking too much time off now and then (like at Christmas and the Summer, etc) and its setting me back... so I'm going to start pushing myself to lift year round and not take time off really except for short rest periods.

I'll post more later, just wanted to get this thing going



Posted by: atherjen

Hey Justin! Glad to see you started a journal! Best of luck



Posted by: naturaltan

Justin!

I think this will be an interesting journey ... so quit with the slacking and let's get after it mister.



Posted by: Jenny

It was about time

I've been giving Justin a hard time about not being in the gym enough So I told him to start a journal so I could keep track of him Good job starting one honey





Posted by: Eggs

AJ - Thanks!

NT - Haha, yeah, the journeys where its at isnt it... so this will be some fun. Looking forward to having you stop by bro!

Jenny - Yeah, you have been giving me a hard time... picking at my meals and stuff Oh well, its good for me. As long as you dont get toooo carried away If ya do I'll have to challenge you to a six pack competition Thanks for looking out for me honey, I'm really glad you do.

I told Jenny I wasnt going to post diet, and instead try to keep it in check just by eyeing it. Either way, heres what my diet was today just for fun.

Meal 1: Protein shake

Snack: Banana

Meal 2: cottage cheese/peanuts

Meal 3:
Moo Goo Gai Pan (its vegetables and chicken).
Pork fried rice
wonton soup

Meal 4: Turkey Kielbasa (has a relatively high protein to fat content)
a few peanuts

Meal 5:
The other half of the Moo Goo Gain Pan and friend rice (big servings).

Meal 6: Protein Shake



Posted by: Jenny

Hey honey

Workout looked good yesterday Though why do you do 6 sets on the flat bench? Why not devide them into 3 sets of 2 exercises? Well, that's just what I would do, and you said you wanted opinions

Diet, well, you eat like a girl Actually less than a girl cause I'm a girl and I eat more than that Add some fat to your shakes, I know you like peanuts and pb And what's with the fried rice Honey, I know you're struggling to get it together with all the crappy college food and everything, you're doing a good job When we're living together I'm going to make sure your diet is perfect



Posted by: Jenny

Here's a few ideas on what you can buy and keep in your dorm kitchen:
*Fruit, big bag of apples
*Peanuts (I know you like that one )
*Tuna (cheap and good when cafeteria food is a disaster)
*Brown rice that you cook up in bulk
*Cottage cheese
*Chicken cooked in bulk the Jenny way

I know it takes a little effort but it will be worth it It's not all that expensive and if your computer starts behaving and not forcing you to spend $$$ on it, I think you can afford it





Posted by: Jenny

And I think you should keep on posting your diet honey, it will help you plan it and get it together

Love you



Posted by: Jenny

Oh, and :
*A big bag of frozen broccoli




Posted by: Eggs

Meal 1:
50g protein shake

Meal 2: (in this order)
yoghurt (with sugars )
cottage cheese
little bit of potatoes
cottage cheese (split it into two portions)
scrambled eggs
2 sausage paties
grits
apple

*Note: Kind of a big meal, but it looks bigger here than it really was... and I stacked it so the more easily digestable stuff was at the top to spread the protein absorbtion out over a longer period of time.

Meal 3:
Tuna
1/4lb of deli turkey slices (dont need no stinking sandwhich )
little bit of chicken salad
onion slices
1/2 head of Broccoli

Meal 4: Protein shake

Meal 5:
sliced carrots
small portion of potato salad
turkey breast deli meat
2 pork chops
broccoli

Meal 6:
protein shake

Thanks honey I'm really trying to work on increasing strength in chest... as that one doesnt come easily to me. So I hit it hard with the bench press. I'll look over some routines and see whats recommended for that.

I ordered some fish oil! At work I eat lots of peanuts too, because I buy peanuts in shells that are unsalted. I need to get some that dont have shells though, just makes it easier and they are pretty inexpensibe still. I'll add some fats in honey.

Haha, too many smilies... retry!

Haha, I like you dude, but I dont love you

Ah well, take it easy, looking forward to seeing you around and any tips you might have.

Keep working hard!



Posted by: Eggs

I just wanted to apologize to Jenny for being a jackass. Earlier when she was giving me advice on my diet I got a bit bitchy, and it wasnt called for because she is trying to give me help and it was pretty lame of me. So, I just wanted to say I'm sorry and that I would like her to keep giving me advice and checking on my workouts and diet.

Sowwy honey



Posted by: Eggs

Yeah NT, no need to... thats actually what my apology was just about I need to clean up my diet and get a lock for my big mouth

So hows life treating you bro?

Abs



Posted by: rock4832

Looking good! How are you doing with this program? Do you like it? Power was always my favorite week!



Posted by: Eggs

I've just started on it so I'm not sure. Its like half the number of sets that I used to do... but we'll see how it goes.

I dont like having my workouts split into 5 days though, to me thats not enough time to recover. I usually like limiting it to 4 days a week in the gym. We'll see how it goes... I'll just do:
Monday:Chest
Tuesday: Back
Wednesday: Off
Thursday:Biceps/Triceps
Friday: Delts
Saturday: Legs

I wish I could put Delts where biceps are, but I wonder if my posterior delts will be recovered fully by then. They are generally lacking, so I need to put alot of work into them.



Posted by: rock4832

I used to do something like

Monday- Chest
Tuesday- Back/Bi's
Wed-off
Thursday-Legs
Friday- Delts/Tri's
Sat-off
Sun-off

That way you get 3 days off and I don't think you need a whole w/o day to do arms.



Posted by: Eggs

Hrm, okay. Has GP commented on whether that will cause a negative impact on his routine?

Thanks for the info bud!



Posted by: rock4832

No, actually he helped me put that together for my routine when I was doing it.



Posted by: Eggs

Ahh, okay, cool... well this week I think I'll do the 5 split, and then next week I'll go back to four Thats cool, I'd been worried about over-extending, considering I'm not using any supps besides whey.



Posted by: Jenny

Wow, look who's eating a lot



Posted by: Eggs

Was going to work out today but I changed my split back to four days... my body is sore and I need to give it some more rest time.

Meal 7: - Got hungry again
two turkey patties done on my foreman. I squeezed them like crazy to get most of the fat out



Posted by: Eggs

I was just cooking up in my quad at my university and a guy was walking by. Now of course I cook in a pair of comfortable pants. Anyways, the guy was walking by and he's like "Hey man, do you work out?" and I was like "yeah, a little"... and he says "Yeah, you look like it." So of course I'm feeling all cool and stuff... been back to lifting about a week and people tell me I look like I'm hitting the gym

So as he's walking out of the quad a bit later and I'm cleaning dishes he says "So how much can you bench" and that made me go "Not enough! @#$!@#!@" I actually didnt cuss though My bench is terrible, thats one of my goals, to be a big bencher one day



Posted by: rock4832

I bet you bench more than I do Justin! Besides, remember it's not about the weight it's about stimulating your muscles.

I agree with Ris ... what you bench is just a number. What does it matter really. If you look in the mirror and say "I like how things are progressing" then it shouldn't matter what numbers you put up. I'm probably a minority with such thoughts ...



Posted by: Eggs

Haha, nahhh, I gotcha NT. Thanks for stopping in!

nope..it's..it's about the weight. Chicks dig big.....numbers..


Hey Justin! Man, that had to be anoying. I was afraid this story was going the way of: He was going to ask you out....
WHEW!
"Not enough"
That's my favorite answer!



Posted by: Eggs

See Rock, you just need a decent training partner.



Posted by: Eggs

Yeah B, I agree... well, I like big numbers, its to impress myself You know, we all have to have our goals!

Nah, the guy didnt ask me out. Good thing, he was standing pretty close to the top of some stairs I dont do guys asking me out... its happened a few too many times



Posted by: rock4832

Maybe he wants to be YOUR training partner!



Posted by: Eggs

Dont make me tell him where your house is!

Er, wait, you have an apartment dont you?

Looks good honey Can a make a few suggestions though? Yes I can, you love me so I can do anything
Well, I'd take the fish oil in meal 1 and put it in meal 2, there's enough fat in meal one And sweetie, you're bulking, you might want to add some more carbs To gain mass you need carbs ya know Add some oatmeal (I know you like to eat that dry, weirdo ) and some brown rice

Keep up the good work and make your girlfriend proud



Posted by: Eggs

Okay honey, I''ll go get some oatmeal at Walmart

Think I might also adda little Granola post 2nd meal. Probably has some good fiber, and it has carbs in it as well.



Posted by: rock4832

I have enough weird men stalking me buddy! You keep this one for yourself



Posted by: naturaltan

Hey Rock ... I'm sorry

Justin ... what kind of numbers are you throwing around?

If it will make you feel better, I'm only pushing 245lbs



Posted by: Eggs

Oh, you could probably half that for my bench NT

I really do have a weak bench... but my chest isnt that small. Its kinda strange. I think I need to work on my triceps alot more.

Whats strange is I could squat 4 plates at my max (which isnt much for alot of guys, but for me it was ) and leg press 7 plates... but my bench is just plain bad!



Posted by: Eggs

Meal 1:
banana
6 egg whites, 2 yolks

Morning!
You can squat 4 plates? That's a truck lkoad! Is that a full rep? I can do a partial @ 405...but not a full rep...

no weights on your back workout, pal?
I'm doing back tonight.



Posted by: rock4832

Yeah Justin, start throwing up some poundages for us man!

My max squat is like... well I did 175 x 8 but I don't think I had good form and it felt heavy to me. I suck at squats!



Posted by: Burner02

that's ok, rock-
just keep doing them, and pushing it with the perfect form, and they will grow!



Posted by: Eggs

Mike, I'll start throwing up some poundages soon... might not be until I get back from Spring break though, just not feeling it too much.

4 plates isnt now, it was when I Was in Italy. Now I'm doing 3 plates... but it only takes me a month or two going hard to get back up to four plates so I might. 4 plates was actually for 5 or 6 reps... not sure where my journal is when I was in Italy, but its in there. These days I'm using the smith machine though as I'm doing heavier deadlifts I dont want to tweak my lower back working it so much.

Squats grow on your Rock, just keep working at them and they'll come

Hey sweets You might want some carbs pre and post workout That's the two most important times to get carbs





Posted by: Eggs

Okay, I'll do that... maybe some fruit would be good, like a banana

Some complex carbs like oats would be good pre workout if you can have that

Lemme know if I'm being a nag, I don't mean to be.. Just want to help the man I love as much as I can



Posted by: rock4832

Jen's right Justin. Don't do the apple prew/o, do oats or something so it'll stay in your body longer for the w/o. And maybe some fat with your pre w/o also.



Posted by: Eggs

Sounds good... oats it is. I'm supposed to go shopping tonight so I can pick some up

Hey baby, I just saw your avi. Pleasure awaits does it? Uh huh It made me all happy amd smiley when I saw that, jut wanted to tell you that



Posted by: rock4832

My avi hasn't really changed! Hmmmm... maybe it's the first time you really saw it. No offense Justin but the bi shot isn't for you specifically, although I am excited to see you again sometime...

Make sure you get slow cooked oats with as little sugar as possible!

Had a good day today as far as diet and workouts go. The farthest apart any meals were was 3 hours... sometimes a bit closer together. The workout was really good and I can already feel my muscles crying out.

For some reason after my workout my body was kinda sensitive... like my skin didnt want to come into contact with anything. I was sitting in an arm chair and the arm rests were annoyingly pressing against my arms. Not sure why that is, but anyways!

But it's not done on a Smith machine right? I think I know what your talking about. Do you like using it? I've never tried it but I don't think regular squats are that good for me.



Posted by: Eggs

Nope, not on a Smith Machine! You can try it if you want... you have problems with your knees? I think if thats the case you should go a bit lighter but perform the exercises with very strict form and go deep.

On a sad note, my metabolism is starting to kick into overdrive with all the carbs I'm eating I'm going to have to eat more.

* The guy that helped me fix my car today invited me over to have dinner with his family... when I'm in debt, I consider my social obligation more relevant than my dieting obligations. If I were competing I'd be stricter about it, but as is I needed to show appreciation for his helping me. I just means I'll have to be really good until I see Jenny

"Eggcelent" workout



Posted by: rock4832

What happened to you don't lift that much?! That's good weight buddy! Keep it up. Power week is my favorite. How long are you resting between sets?



Posted by: Eggs

Oh, it varies depending on the week I'm on. Power I take a little longer to build up energy stores, RR I do shorter rest periods, and Shock I do the supersets, then wait about 1 1/2 minutes or so inbetween.

Premier - Thanks!

Rock - Oh, thats not so much. All my weights just jumped up, but I'm just getting back into the swing of things now after that rediculous business with my car being dead and gone on Christmas break and stuff. I promised myself I wouldnt take any more breaks after that longer than a week if it were at all possible... and its only been about 1 1/2 months to 2 months of lifting since I started back up solidly. I think this routine suits me pretty well, I'd like to be back on the 95s pretty soon for chest And of course, break 100s one of these days



Posted by: PreMier

Now my car is dead

I hope I dont get as skinny as you Eggs



Posted by: Eggs

Posted by: Jill

Just a few more days till you see your hunny bunny, you must be getting sooooooo excited! Is there anything Jenny has requested you to bring from the US, something that she may not be able to get in Sweden?



Posted by: Eggs

Hey Jill!

Yeah, I'm really excited!

Haha, did she ask for anything? I'm taking a suitcase of stuff just for her



Posted by: Rissole

You got some good workout Eggs.
I never write down spotted lifts or if i train by myself the last cheated ones. Tell ya what though, my back is killen from my last deads....



Posted by: Eggs

Yeah, my back is a bit tight from them too... I wish my deads were higher though I'd like to eventually get it to the 500+ range

Thanks for the comment on my workouts... I've been using GPs for the past month and I've noticed nice gains all around so far. Will see how it works out long term, but I really do think its a great program.



Posted by: Rissole

One thing i have found with it you always gotta challenge yourself and push to the MAX!! Its easy to get in a rut...

I did a personal best on deads, it was the first time i did them racked but i felt all that did was take my legs from the equation...
572/2
550/3
528/4



Posted by: Eggs

Yeah, you do always have to push yourself I'm a bit more careful with deads though, because I dont want an injury... but I do push it a bit now and then
