Gotta get BIG
Alright, back from the olympia and it is time to get serious!! I worked out a little bit last week but for the most part the workouts were just active rest. I ate like a pig and now it is time to get back on track. I am starting my real, serious, bulk right now. I need to get to 200lbs before Jan. 1 and then I will start dieting form there in hopes to do a show late march (right now I am thinking about the Mr. Buffalo). As always I'll log my workouts and do my best to log my diet, when time permits me, probably on the weekends.
My training split is this: mon-chest tues-back wed-off thurs-legs fri-delts/traps sat-arms sun-off I am going to do three week training cycles to prevent adaptation and hopefully keep on growing. Week 1 is going to be my heavy week, utilizing a rep range of 5-8. Week 2 is going to be a lighter week utilizing a rep range of 8-15 and Week 3 will be a week of supersets, trisets, giantsets and all out chaos. Then the cycle starts over with week 1. 10/27- chest;abs bench press 245x8 255x6 255x4+1 15 degrees incline dumbell bench press 90x8 90x5 80x5 80x6+1 decline flyes (steep decline) 55x8 55x5 (less of a decline) 60x7+1 70x3 peck deck 165x8 165x7 165x7 low cable cross over plate#6x6 plate#5x8 plate#5x7 As always please feel free to ask questions and make comments or suggestions. |

Hey Funky ![]() While you are going on a bulk, I just finished mine I'm guessing a good 15lb gain in Vegas ![]() It was nice meeting you. Too bad you had to leave early. As you know, I'll be watching your journal ![]() |

well, since there were no super sets or tri sets in this worout I would say the volume was pretty mild for me. I did the whole thing in under an hour. The volume of my workouts is pretty comparable to the volume that you do also, no?

Looking good man. How are you feeling with this so far?
|

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

I feel really good. I am really hungry. Last week, when I went to the olympia, I only got to work out three days so it was a nice break. I have been back in the gym like an animal. I fired all of my training partners and now only workout by myself. My weight has been fluctuating between 187-190lbs. I can't weight to hit 200lbs.

My workouts are about 1hr. now (especially since I have no more training partners), sometimes a little longer when I do my abs or when I throw in some cardio (about 2x's a week, 25-30min. a shot, if I can). Rest interval changes with regard to which week it is (see my first post were I explain what I am doing each week), and what the intensity level is.

the turkey chilli is ground turkey, chilli powder, 16oz crushed tomatos, one can of kidney beans and chilli spices.
Yes I got the fish oil because when I went home to Cleveland after the Olympia I went to Cosco (a wholesale store) and purchased the big ass economy bottle. Otherwise I would never by it because they only sell it in 90-100 cap bottles here and I would go through those to easily. |

This week is Hypertorphy week so I am shooting for a rep range of 8-15 on all exercises.....Grrrrr I hate I high reps. Also, I am adding some of my laggin muscle groups to my chest and back days so that they can get more work. On chest day I will add some side delts and on back day I will add some hamstirg work.
11/3 shest, side delts, upper abs (8-15 reps day) I am sick today so this workout kind of sucked. I really couldn;t move the weight that I wanted to. However, on my first exercise, decline bench press, the trainer that was working the floor was this extremly cute girl that I have a huge crush on so she got to spot me (since I fired my training partners....lol). My testosterone levels went throught the roof.....not only did I have to fight the weight I had to fight a ragging hard on (waite a minute did I just say that??). decline bench press 225x13 (could have gotten 15 if I could breathe out of my nose today) 225x9 dropset 205x8,145x8 dominatrix flyes plate#2; 25lb dumbell x 15 plate#3; 30lb dumbell x 12 plate#3; 30lb dumbell x 10 high cable cross over plate#5x15 plate#6x13 plate#7x9 neutral grip 15 degreee incline press 60x12 60x8 50x10 unilateral dumbell lateral raises with 2 count pause at top on movement 15x10 15x9 10x10 |
