KelJu's Master Plan


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



Posted by: KelJu

I feel weird starting an online journal considering that I have been lifting for 12 months straight. The main reason I am starting this is to help me see what movements are getting stronger and which ones aren't.

I would have to say that I am an upper body guy. In all honesty, I am bench pressing the same amount that I am squatting. This is of course due to my injuries, but I need to stop focusing so much on my chest, and start dealing with many of my lagging areas. I am not going to post many 1RMs, because I find them to be useless when planning my workouts. I am probably made of a 90% fast-twitch muscle composition, which makes planning out rep range a pain in the ass. So, I will be posting my daily rep range achievements.

My plan is to start cutting for summer, and I started today. I realize that I am going to lose a considerable amount of strength, but so is the price we pay. I have never had 6 pack abs, but I could always lift a shit load. The problem is that I am not training for any sports, so I just want to look good. My plan is to carb-cycle slowly down to a BF% of about 10%. I have no idea of whether this is even possible with my genetics, but I am going to bust my ass trying.

Current Stats:
Height: 6"2
Weight: 215
Waist: 36
Arms: 17
Calves: 16
Quads: 23

Today sucked big time. I haven't had a good night's sleep this entire week, and I blame the M1T. I have stopped taking it, and I hope my sleep pattern will correct itself and my strength will come back. Tomorrow morning, I am going to the student clinic to get the doctor to write me a script for some sort of high powered sleeping medication.

Bench Press:
Set 1: 300 x 3
Set 2: 300 x 3
Set 3: 300 x 2

Behind the Neck Barbell Press:
Set 1: 135 x 10
Set 2: 155 x 5
Set 3: 155 x 7

Dips:

Set 2: 20

1 Arm Triceps Extensions:
Set 1: 40 x 5
Set 2: 40 x 5
Set 3: 40 x 5

Sounds good, are you sure you measured your quads right? You usually measure the upper part near your hips, they look bigger than 23 in your picture.

You aren't necessarily going to be losing strength on a cut.... Just do it REALLY slowly, about 1lb a week... I've actually been getting stronger while cutting.

Me too. I doubt you will lose strength if you cut slow like Sean said. I've been on a cut for 8 days now and I've also stopped using creatine for 2 weeks, I have no strength loss, I've gained a bit actually.

I've been sleeping like shit for the past week. I'm getting headaches every day and my right eyelid is starting to twitch. My sleeping seems to go through cycles, there will be a couple weeks I sleep great, then a couple I don't. I find that if I don't spend alot of time on the computer throughout the day and go outside more I can sleep better. That is hard for me though.

I didn't know where to measure, so I measured closer to the knee.


Tuesday - 03/21/2006 (Morning)
I can already tell that I am going to have a good workout today. The pills I got from the doctor allowed me to sleep very well for the last two days. I feel rested and well fed, so I am looking forward to working out tonight after work. I believe that I have been overtraining lately, so I am going to get many of the isolation exercises out of my training program.

Just as I had expected, I got a great workout. I stuck to basic compound pulling motions which I seem to be getting stronger at. Pull-ups and chin-ups have never been my strongest point, but the motions seem to be getting stronger faster than anything else. I have some slight shoulder problems for the first time and it is scaring me. I am not going to be stupid and keep pushing my shoulders when they are telling me something is wrong.
I plan to quit bench pressing, incline pressing, and shoulder pressing for a few weeks and hopefully my shoulders will heal. I guess I will find other things to do to fill the void.

Pull-Ups:
Set 1: 7
Set 2: 7
Set 3: 6

Chin-Ups:
Set 1: 10
Set 2: 7
Set 3: 8

Bent Over Rows:
Set 1: 115 x 12
Set 2: 115 x 12
Set 3: 115 x 10

Dumbbell Hammer Curls:
Set 1: 30 x 10
Set 2: 30 x 10
Set 3: 30 x 10

Farmer's Walk with Dumbbells:
Set 1: 80 x 35 seconds
Set 2: 80 x 35 seconds
Set 3: 80 x 30 seconds

I vote to stop doing behind the neck presses, and pulldowns if you're doing those behind the neck too.

Yeah, I am thinking it was the behind the neck presses that did it. I should have fucking listened to P-Funk and Foreman who both said not to do those, but like a retard I did them anyway.

I got a good nights sleep, and I felt good during my workout. I am having problems figureing out what I want to add to my leg workout. Right now, I am doing 1 compound motion and 4 isolations which I know is completely wrong, but the equipment I have to choose from is pretty slim. I think I am the only person at this gym that even works legs.

Squats:
Set 1: 225 x 10
Set 2: 225 x 10
Set 3: 245 x 8

Let Extentions:
Set 1: 290 x 10
Set 2: 290 x 10
Set 3: 290 x 8

Leg curls:
Set 1: 190 x 4
Set 2: 190 x 4
Set 3: 190 x 3

Seated Calf Raises:
Set 1: 105 to failure
Set 2: 105 to failure
Set 3: 105 to failure

Standing Calf Raises:
Set 1: 300 to failure
Set 2: 300 to failure
Set 3: 300 to failure [/quote]

You could always add dumb bell lunges after squats for another compound movement. Those are killer, esp. post squats.

I have never tried that, but I might add them for a few days and see how I like them. thanks for the tip.

Bahahaha, I'm a fucking idiot. I went to workout today knowing full well that my shoulder wasn't ready to bench again, but I just had to push it.
Two weeks ago I was working out with 300 pretty easily. Today I couldn't press 225 without a shering pain in my right shoulder. I did one rep, got pissed and walked out. I guess I am just going to accpet the fact that I won't be bench pressing for a few months. If I don't let it heal, I won't be working upper body period for a while, because I will go to far and then need surgery to fix it.

Bench Press:
Set 1: 225 x 1

I got a full 12 hours of sleep last night so I lifted like an animal today. My lats are growing well, and my back is coming in very well too. My shoulder injury is proving to be a good motivator to spend a little time working on my balance and symmetry. My goal is to be able to do 10 pull-ups and 10 chin-ups with perfect form. I was very close today.

Overhand Grip Pull-Ups:
Set 1: 8
Set 2: 6

I got another night of good sleep, and I love it. When I sleep my body feels like a machine in the gym, working perfectly. Lol, I say perfectly, my shoulder is gimped, but its ok. My legs, back, and arms will keep my plenty busy until my shoulder heals. I have been researching a HIIT style cardio program that I might implement soon on all non-lifting days. I really want to lean out for summer. I have never seen my abs, and it would be worth the hard work to see them.

Squat:
Set 1: 225 x 10
Set 2: 225 x 10
Set 3: 225 x 8

Leg Extensions:
Set 1: 230 x 15
Set 2: 230 x 12
Set 3: 230 x 12

We got a new leg curl machine that is a seated style instead of the one I was using where I laid on my stomach. I really like the seated style machine better, because it seemed to give my hams a much better workout.


Seated Leg Curls:
Set 1: 90 x 12
Set 2: 90 x 10
Set 3: 90 x 10

Monday - 03/03/2006 (Morning)
I did not lift all week, because I am falling behind in school some. I have all these projects that are about to be due, and I am having trouble keeping up with it all plus work, and the gym.

I am going on a maintence program for the next month. I will be cramming for finals, working on projects, and sleeping at most 4 hours a night. I always lose a lot of mass during the last month of the semester due to stress and lack of sleep, so I am going to lighten my workload this time and see if that helps.


Overhand Grip Pull-Ups:
Set 1: 8
Set 2: 5
Set 3: 6

Chin-Ups:
Set 1: 8
Set 2: 8
Set 3: 8

Bent Over Rows: (with 30 second rest intervals)
Set 1: 90 x 12
Set 2: 90 x 12
Set 3: 90 x 10

That sounds like a smart thing to do. With a heavy school load and little sleep, you would probably lead yourself into the adverse effects of over training.

It has happened before, so I am trying to be wise and nip it in the butt before it happens. From now until may 9th, I will be busting my ass preparing for finals and getting in last minute projects.


Wednesday - 04/05/06(Afternoon)
I feel like I am lagging a little. My mind is not completely on lifting. I have been pissed for the last 3 days over all kinds of little things. Stress is starting to mount, and I know it is only going to get worse. I really need to not be around people for a while. I need to get back into a tranquil peace of mind, or I am going to burn-out and completely fuck my training program and school. I would just take off from lifting all together until finals are over, but I know how I am. If I stop lifting, I will start to feel smaller, and then become unmotivated. I have to stay motivated until finals are over. Once finals are over, everything will be great again. I have a fun summer to look forward to; where I will only be taking one class and I will be working full time which will provide me a little breathing room as far as my budget goes.


Squats:
Set 1: 275 x 5
Set 2: 275 x 5

He has leg curls in there, but I'd recommend adding SLDL or Romanian DL's.

I don't do them, because I have a genetic predisposition to back problems. I have pulled muscles in my back pretty often, so I try not to test my luck.

It has been quite a while since I have lifted. I am doing well in my classes, at the expense of my body. I can't wait for finals to be over so I can start lifting again. I want to lift now, but I know that the stress will probably just break me down more.
I am very depressed right now. I feel terrible, because I do not have any free time.
I go from work to school to homework to work to school to studying to work to school to homework over and over again without a break. This shit is breaking my spirit. I must hold things together for two more weeks. Then, I will have all summer to lift like a machine, and be happy everyday. I will eat like a champion, and have time to do some of the things I want to do. It is going to be fucking great!

Thanks for the back-up fufu. I really should update my stats, but I don't have a tape measure, nor do I really care about what people think about my stats. I believe my pictures tell enough about my progress. I can feel when my body is stronger, and that is what matters to me most.

I lifted today for the first time in a while. What surprises me most is that I haven't lost any strength in that time. I lost back down to 205lbs again, but I am sure that most of the weight was water retention in the first place.
As soon as I post my workout for today, I am going to the market and buy some food. I have been eating crap lately, and I need to ge tback on my routine.

Np np. That's great that you haven't lost any strength from time off, especially after losing weight. Must be a bit of relief. Maybe some time off was just what your body needed. Hope things turn out fine.

I knew Jodi would take out the trash for you.

By the way, the journal looks good. You have some solid strength and size both. Good luck, and I hope your shoulder gets better soon. Any idea what the injury is exactly? Have you seen a sports medicine doctor about it?

Thanks CowPimp. I haven't seen anyone about it yet. I was covered on my dad's medical insurance until April when BC/BS decided that they weren't going to cover me anymore. I am getting insurance through my job now, but it takes 6 months worth of paying in before the insurance kicks in.
As soon as my new insurance kicks in, I will see a knowledgeable sports doctor to see what the issue is. I flat bench pressed today with minimal pain, but something still isn't right. Push-ups didn't hurt at all, so I am going to substitute them for flat or incline presses from now on.

My diet and my workouts are going to be rigorous planned and maintained for the rest of the summer. I will be cutting hard, and my overall goal is to see my abs again in two months. I do not care how much I can lift during the summer, but only that I look good on the beach. I will be carb cycling to keep as much Lean mass as possible while cutting. I have so much energy to put forth toward my training this summer now that the Spring Semester is over, so I have no excuse for giving anything less than 100%.

Thursday - 05/05/06(Morning)
Diet (Medium Carb Day):
8:00am - ½ Cup Oatmeal - 150cal
10:30am - ½ Cup Oatmeal - 150cal
1:30pm - 4oz Broiled Salmon - 180cal
3:00pm - 4oz Broiled Salmon - 180cal
5:00pm - 1 Red Apple - 140cal
7:00pm - 3 Broiled Tilapia Fillets - 300cal
2 cups Broccoli Steamed - 100cal
9:00pm - Eggbeaters Omolet with Cheese and Saugage - 300cal

Total Daily Calories = 1600cal

I first learned about carb cycling from Jodi kast summer, and it works like magic. Carb-cycling is the single most beneficial piece of information I have read anywhere, and I read it here.
God bless IM, for giving me carb cycling.
What are your plans for summer, Fufu?


Posted by: fufu

My plans are to get bigger and stronger. I ended cutting about a month ago. I thought about keeping with the cut for another month and then maintaining over the summer to have the six pack and all. I decided that I value strength over vanity so now my plans are to slowly put on weight throughout the summer. Right now I am about 175 and I plan on getting to 185-190 by the end up summer. My bodyfat isn't that high anyways so it will be no big deal.


Posted by: KelJu

Hell yeah!
I am weak as well water now, but I don’t give a shit. Just being able to workout without my mind being stressed over other shit is priceless. I don’t have to worry about school, homework, test, or projects anymore. It makes lifting fun again. Today was the best workout I have gotten in over two months. My mind was focused, and I had the right attitude. I wasn’t lifting to get bigger, or to beat the amount I did yesterday, but instead I just lifted to lift.
I am going to be optimistic about this. Putting the muscle back on after finals is going to be easier and faster than the first time. I am going to enjoy the moment, instead of beating myself up over not making gains. I believe the proper attitude will help me grow even more.
I will not be ashamed that I am bench pressing shit weight. I am just happy that my shoulder didn’t hurt today. I am going to rebuild my chest, but I will do it safer than I did the first time. I will not push my shoulder to the breaking point again.
Life is fucking good today!

Quite Right! Having some room to breath makes all the difference. I was suffocating under so much responsibility during the school semester. I have such a better attitude toward lifting now that I can focus more attention to it.

That's odd... Mine pretty much stayed the same for both and got a little better on some movements... Pullups were the main one I got better at, but that's expected losing ~14lbs.

How low did you drop your cals to?

Yes, but for some reason the movement from heel to toe caused an un-natural stretch in the balls of my feet. I will keep playing around with them with lower weights until I get the hang of it.

I can’t seem to figure out what the hell is happening to my body. I have no control over it sometimes. I cut my caloric intake and I have been lifting like an animal, but my weight is increasing. But, it all seems to be good weight. My waist size is decreasing, and I have gained 10lbs. Everything is on the up and up, so I guess I shouldn’t spend much time wondering why it is happening and just be glad that it is happening.
Maybe my figures are off. Maybe I am not tallying up my calories correctly. Who the fuck knows? Maybe I will ask Jody or Trouble to take a quick look at my journal entries and see if they can help me figure out what is going on here.

I had the strawberry ones with 2g of sugar and 50 gram of protein. They tasted pretty good actually, a lot better than my usually whey and water.
They aren't a rib-eye steak thou. I just finished the second one, god damn life is good.

Lol, like I said, I didn't have much of a choice. My boss called me last night and asked me if I could be at work 2 hours early today to drive to Orange Beach for three big deliveries. On the way to work I stopped at a Rite-Aid Drug Store and grabbed the first thing I saw that had a lot of protein in it for the trip.

I worked on the road when I was 260 and benching 545...a had a little cooler in my truck at all times with real food in it. Just make some meals the day before and you are good to go...or I would stop at a super market and buy some cottage cheeze, some fresh fruit or something else that was healthy.

I thought about that. If the owner doesn't ride with me, I would do it for sure, but today, the owner rode with us. I already catch a lot of smartass comments about the things I do at the shop in the name of fitness. I keep containers of cottage cheese in the fridge at work.
I don’t know. You are probably right. When I think about it, the owner fucking loves me, because he knows I always get the job done without problems, so he might make a few jokes about my habits, but he wouldn't get upset if I took food with me.
I will have to talk to the owner before I did it.

Woot woot! I saw my uncle while I was home for mother's day, and he sold me 2 huge ass Beef Racks for about $80.00. I have been cutting my own rib eyes off of them all fucking day. I am in heaven. One rack is in the freezer and I should be done eating the one in the fridge before it goes bad. I estimate that I can cut 20 125g steaks off of each rack. I use to cut steaks for my uncle when I worked at his restaurant growing up, so I still have the butcher skills. I can literally eat steaks all day for the next 3 weeks.
Hahahahahahahaha!

Fucking shit. Eating enough clean calories is fucking tough. My cut is going really well, but shit, it is hard to eat enough calories from the select amount of foods I can choose from. The carb cycling makes me lose my appetite. I don't even look forward to high carb day. Woohoo get oatmeal today, omfgwwtbbq! Like I care.

Yeah it is hard getting alot of cals in when eating "clean". Hopefully you won't get sick of steak.

I LOVE SHOCK!
I felt like I had packed on 30lbs of muscle when I walked out. Every muscle in my chest was exploding out of my skin. I can't wait to do Shock-Pull tomorrow.
Oh oh oh, Shock-Legs is going to be fucking awesome. I am going to puke everywhere probably, but I am going to love it.

Well, due to some heavy shit going on in my life, I do not have the energy to post my workouts for the last few days or my diet.
I have been working out hard to keep my mind occupied, and my diet has been the same as usual.
I have basically worked until 5:30pm, worked out until 7:00, eat dinner take some pills and sleep until morning. I have no motivation for anything else. IM has become my only social interaction other than work.
I am feeling better today, so maybe I will be back to normal in a few more days.

I enjoyed shock week, and just as I had predicted, I almost lost my lunch during shock-legs. I have come full circle to power - push. I went out drinking last night for the first time in a while, and remember why I quit in the first place. My workout didn't suffer too much from it, but I still don't want to make it a habit.
All in all, I am very satisfied with my push numbers. My chest has made a full recovery, and I am thrilled shitless.

OMFGWTFBBQ, sometime during my second set of rows I tranced into one of those berserker rage moments. I was slinging some weight, with good form, and I didn't even feel like I was lifting heavy. My back wasn't getting tired, and I loved every second of it. I hope I get another one of those on leg day comes Wednesday.

I have been thinking about my recent gains, and I think I know how I am busting many of my personal records.
I have been working 8 to 10 hours a day, working out 1 to 1.5 hours a day, and then sleeping 10 to 12 hours every night.
I have been eating like a champ also. I am now in a set routine with no stress, no distractions, and plenty of motivation.
I can see myself keeping this up for the next two months, until the fall semester starts back.
I can't wait to see where I am in two months.

You've got some impressive pressing strength, how's the shoulder feeling now?

Thanks Sean, my shoulder is feeling 100% again. There is no pain at all, so maybe it was a torn or pulled muscle maybe.

I am happy with my pressing numbers, but my pulling numbers look pathetic.

I row less than half of what I bench.

Don't you just love it when hard work finally pays off. You can do some amazing things with your body once you are in control of your diet.

I have the same problem with barbell rows. Today I was trying to row 185 for 4 reps and it felt so hard. I can row with the 90 lbs for sets of 6 fairly easily though. I find the kneeling/leaning dumb bell rows alot easier, I like the position I'm in better. I mean...not like I enjoy being on...my knees, ummmm

But yeah, I find db rows alot easier for some reason.

Yeah, I can BB row up to 155 well enough, but I can use 80lbs DB's for the same amount, or slightly more reps...

I actually use to BB row more than I do now about a year ago, but I think my form was shit and I used a lot of "body english." I don't think I kept my shoulder blades retracted.

Push Day - Rep Range Week
My triceps are not performing well enough. They have always been one of my strong points, but lately, they have simply stopped growing.

On RR week, I do 30s -45s rest intervals.
The no wacking/sex thing is driving me insane. I work with a women who I would normally consider an ogre, but these last few days she has been looking better and better. I have got to do something to keep my mind away from sex, because I will end up laying some troll and regretting it for the rest of my life.

LAWL.

Yeah, it is tough. I actually haven't had a release in over 5 days now, just because I've been tired. I was hanging out with my friend last night though, and I couldn't stop thinking about fucking her right where she sat. It was awful.

Naw, I said I wasn't going to do behind the neck shoulder presses. I had never done behind the neck pulldowns before I hurt my shoulder.

Do you think behind the neck pulldowns is bad for shoulders?

Personally, yes. It just seems to put the shoulders in an unnatural position, but I don't really have any evidence to prove that it leads to should problems. At the same time, I don't see any advantages to using a behind the neck variation compared to normal pulldowns.

Leg Day - Rep Range Week
I haven't been able to lift for about four days on account of moving in with my brother, so I finally got everything moved and I had a chance to go to the gym. Apparently, the break was just what I needed, because I got a great workout. I wasn't really pushing more than usual, but I just really enjoyed being there and lifting.

Squats:
Set 1: 135 x 10
Set 2: 225 x 10
Set 3: 225 x 10
Set 4: 225 x 8
Set 5: 225 x 8

Seated Leg Curls:
Set 1: 130 x 12
Set 2: 130 x 10
Set 3: 130 x 8
Set 4: 110 x 8

Leg Extensions:
Set 1: 250 x 10
Set 2: 250 x 8
Set 3: 250 x 8
Set 4: 230 x 8

Seated Calf Raises:
Set 1: 135 x 40
Set 2: 135 x 35
Set 3: 135 x 30
Set 4: 135 x 35
Set 5: 135 x 42

I really wanted to get 50 on that last set, but I just couldn't pull it out. I was in the zone, but my calves gave out before the pain made me stop. Lol, the second I stopped all of the pain rushed me at once. It hurt like hell, but it felt good too. I guess that is sort of weird, but pain feels good sometimes. But, it only feels good if I do it to myself.

Damn, those are some high rep calf sets.

I only do it to my calves and forearms. The feeling is in credible! It feels like the muscles in calves are about to blow out of the back of my legs.
It is also an exercise in pain management. It is the most painful thing I do in the gym. I have learned how to zone out away from the pain and go to complete failure. The benefits have been incredible too.
I never played basketball much, and my vertical was pathetic, but about 3 weeks ago I played with some friends and I was shocked that I could jump 3 times higher than I ever could before, so it has paid off.

Push Day - Shock Week
I feel like I got a great workout today, but I just don't seem to be making much progress. I am eating great, sleeping plenty, and my mind is focused hard on progress, but I seem to be in a slump. Maybe I just feel like I should be lifting more, I don't know. I guess anything worth having is worth struggling for. I just wish I could reap the benefits of my labors a little faster.

Corrected for you BigDyl. I typed out the first 2 sets then copy pasted the rest to save time. I then went back and typed in the weight and reps for each one, but I forgot to change the set number for 9 and 10 from 7 and 8.

(Pull Day – Rep Range Week)
Ok ok, this has to be the best workout I have ever had in my entire life! This shit was insane. I have figured out how to trigger some sort of hormonal fucking overload. I can't explain it. I went into another berserker rage mode today. This time it was twice as good as last time. I was slinging some weight like a god damn crazy person. I broke every single pull motion record today. Every fucking one! This is insane. I think it has to do with a self induced manic shift. Maybe I can learn how to do this everyday. Holy shit, if I could do that, then having this god forsaken illness my whole life might have been worth it. I felt like I was on some extremely powerful drug. If I could compare it to a drug, I would say it felt like I had mixed crystal meth with ecstasy, but without the cracked out side-effects. I got in the tanning bad after my workout, and I was breathing 90 miles an hour. My eyes were twitching, and my heart was beating out of my chest. My hands were clinched tight, and I felt like a god. My only concern is what goes up must come down. I don’t want to crash again. That is the single worst feeling I have ever had in my life. Crashing feels like someone killed your family, your pet, your girlfriend, burnt your house down, and pissed on the ashes all in front of you while you watched. I am rambling; I need to chill the fuck out for a minute. I am going to post me lifts, then I am going to lay by the pool, and maybe I will calm down a little.

Pull-Ups:
Set 1: 12
Set 2: 10

Leg Day - Rep Range Week
I am throwing out P/RR/Shock. It has been great, and I love the program, but I am just bored with it now. I have been using P/RR/S for almost 8 months, so I just could stomach doing another day of it. I am going to switch to a more simple routine that is more like a high/low rep range each week. I guess I could consider my new program P/RR without the shock.

I lifted really well today. My squats made some nice improvements. Maybe my squats will catch up to my bench numbers, loll.

Squats:
Set 1: 135 x 5
Set 2: 225 x 12
Set 3: 225 x 12
Set 4: 245 x 10
Set 5: 255 x 8

Seated Leg Curls:
Set 1: 130 x 12
Set 2: 130 x 10
Set 3: 130 x 10
Set 4: 130 x 8

Leg Extensions:
Set 1: 250 x 12
Set 2: 250 x 8
Set 3: 250 x 8
Set 4: 230 x 8

Seated Calf Raises:
Set 1: 135 x 40
Set 2: 135 x 30

 I could have got more on set 2, but my toe started to slip off of the foot peg. I figured it would be smarter to end the set early than to jam 135lbs into my knee.


Set 3: 135 x 40
Set 4: 135 x 50

 Woot woot! I got 50 today. God damn...that shit hurt like a mother fucka, but it was the good kind of pain. My calves were pumped like crazy.


Posted by: fufu

You're workout makes me want to fall down and puke. Good stuff. Kept some nice rep numbers throughout your squats while kicking up the weight, props to that.


Posted by: KelJu

Thanks man. It usually isn't my style to kick up the weight like that, but I was knocking out high reps with 225, so I just figured why not.


Posted by: KelJu

Ok damn it, this time I am for real. I am going to cut. I want to see my abs.

I think I have gone as far as carb cycling is going to take me. I am just too sensitive to the carbs.

I am starting a high protein/fat low carb diet, and hopefully I will see my abs in two months. The hardest thing will be giving up my milk. I love milk so much. I have given up a lot of stuff, but milk is sacred to me.
I will do it. Fuck it. I am going downstairs and pouring out my gallon of milk.

Push Day - Power Week
My Bench Press numbers didn't move much, but that is no big deal. My bench press numbers were already pretty satisfactory, so I will focus on the improvement in my shoulders. I added some new stuff, and I loved it. I will definitely be doing dumbbell shoulder presses from now on.

Flat Bench Press:
Set 1: 135 x 10
Set 2: 275 x 5
Set 3: 300 x 3
Set 4: 300 x 3
Set 5: 300 x 3

Fuck!
"Planet Gheyness" removed my damn decline bench press station and the T-Bar rowing machine. This is becoming ridicules. Fuck them... I just took an incline bench, turned it around backwards, and placed it under the Smith Machine.

Fuck you Planet Gheyness, you won't stop me from doing my decline presses. The only problem is I don't know how much weight to subtract from the actual weight on the bar to cancel out the fact that I won’t be using stabilizers anymore. Maybe someone can give me some ideas on that, but until then, I will be posting my actual numbers.


Decline Bench Press(Smith Machine):
Set 1: 365 x 3
Set 2: 365 x 3
Set 3: 315 x 6
Set 4: 315 x 7

Military Press:
Set 1: 135 x 8
Set 2: 155 x 3
Set 3: 155 x 3
Set 4: 135 x 6

Dumbbell Shoulder Presses:
Set 1: 35 x 10
Set 2: 35 x 10
Set 3: 35 x 7
Set 4: 45 x 5
Set 5: 50 x 5
Set 6: 60 x 4

Triceps Extensions(One Arm):
Set 1: 50 x 3
Set 2: 50 x 3
Set 3: 50 x 3
Set 4: 45 x 3

Dips:
Set 1: 16
Set 2: 20
Set 3: 15


I was very pleased with my shoulder workout. I switched Shoulder Barbell Presses to Military Presses, and I added Dumbbell Shoulder Presses. Military presses are much harder than shoulder presses, but they are much more fun. I feel like I get more of a core workout, and I added the barbell shoulder presses because I felt like I had been ignoring my stabilizer muscles lately. The variation added new life to my routine, so I might stick with this for a while.

All I can say is prey hard.

In all honesty, it isn't too bad. I keep finding little ways to make it better. I look on the bright side of things, such as I am the second strongest member of the gym. That kind of feels good I guess. There are also a ton of hot ass women that workout during the summer months. My god, it is hard not to get a boner the whole time I am in there.
I also love doing shit that pisses off the manager, but he really can't say anything to me, because I am not hurting anybody. Every time they get rid of a machine that I use, I just rig up some new way of doing it.

(Pull Day – Power Week)
Well..... I didn’t make too many stellar gains, but I sure did enjoy my workout. I added some new stuff that really kicked my ass. I thought supine rows were going to be a lot easier, but they surprised me. I don’t know if the no carb thing is affecting me or what, but I just seemed to have lost some pulling strength today. I don’t know, maybe it will come back on my next pull day.

Pull-Ups(Wide Grip):
Set 1: 10
Set 2: 12
Set 3: 10

Ahg, I don't know if I could do a no carb diet.

Are supine rows where you are on your back and pull your self up while keeping your body straight?

Exactly that. They are much harder than they look.

Do you just leave the back of your feet on the ground, or put them on a stability ball, or squat box or something?

I placed my feet on a bench which was at the exact same height as my shoulders at the point of max contraction.

Just like in the following example.

You know what, I bet a stability ball would be even better, because it would provide for more core training.

How long have you been cutting? How many cals under maintenance are you eating? What is your training routine like?

When I started cutting, I decreased the cals really slowly... Maybe 300 or so per week until I was at 2100-2400 per day, and my maintenance was/is around 3300 or so. Before I cut I was eating around 3900-4300. I only cut for about 8 weeks, I don't think I'd go much longer than that. I'm not on anything either, always been natural.

Maybe try bumping cals back to maintenance, or even above for a while, and then reduce again after a while.

I have to give you props for noticing that. You were the first person to notice that I was cutting and putting on mad muscle mass at the same time.

Its going to break my heart when I have to throttle down in three weeks to start my PCT.

No, those are slightly farther than parallel. I don't have the mobility to go any farther because of injuries from high school that seem to be permanent.


This is what my squats look like.

I measured 216 today at the doctor. I think the neurologist has done me a world of good. Apparently, I don't have new superpowers. The elevated testosterone level triggered a hypo manic reaction. He even used my words. He said people say they feel like gods, which is even in my journal entries, so this doctor has my attention. He really seem to know his shit.

I had an EEG done today. He said my brain activity was highly elevated and so was my heart-rate. I explained to him that this is what I am going through every fucking night.

I am now on a new drug created for regulation of Bi-Polar disorder called Lamictal. I hate using drugs to keep me stable, because he never worked in the past, but this shit seems to be doing a good job.

Two hours ago I was rolling around in the floor about to lose the last of my sanity, and now I am completely at peace with myself. I feel like I have laid my burdens down. I don't hate anymore. I don't hurt anymore. Everything is OK, and everything is going to work out. My denial is over. I haven’t been deflecting bad shit like I believed I was. No...I have been absorbing all of the bad shit hitting me lately. I had filled up to the point where I couldn't absorb another fucking thing, and the next person to cross me might would have been hit with a years worth of pent up frustration and anger in the form of a 216lb pissed off muscled up crazy fucking white boy on roids.

I have pushed every friend I have away from me in the last year. I pushed my family and my friend’s right out of my life, because I wasn't ready to deal with what I had in front of me. I first used the gym as a tool, and then I abused the tool and made a crutch out of it. I keep pushing my body too hard. I want to look better faster. I even resorted to injecting steroids to get there faster.

I am coming off of the roids tonight. I am starting my Nolva and Clomid tomorrow. I have some things that I have had on the back burner for quite some time now, and its time to be a man and take care of business. I am going to treat my body with respect, so that it returns the respect.
"Healthy Body, Health Mind"

I am ready to back to the world of the sane. You guys have been my only social life for the past 6 months. I have been afraid to go out and party, because I was scared that something might cause me to breakdown. I was in denial, but
