nah bro, i live off campus. groceries run me $80 every week and a half. i eat great while i'm at school cuz i can get nothing but BB foods.

when i'm home, i gotta eat whatever mommy gets. and i feel bad eating her outta house and home cuz my dad and my bro eat nearly as much as me.......

ya, i'd say so.

my weight fluctuates everyday. depending on how much water i drink, how much i eat, what time i weight myself....

actually, the 224 was weighted officially @the doctors office, so i'm assuming its correct. today i weighed myself @the school gym, and its an electronic scale, so maybe its off.

Hey Flex, journal is looking good man! Keep up the hard work. I am wondering bro what are your stats? Age, height, weight, etc.

Also, ever consider posting your exercises and weights/sets? Would be nice to see exactly what youre doing. Thanks man.

22yrs old, 5'11"3/4, 220-225 (fluctuates daily)

my split looks like so...
Day
1 Back, forearms, abs
2 Calves, chest, cardio (10 min on the bike is all i can stand)
3 Bi's, Tri's, forearms, abs
4 OFF
5 Calves, Shoulders, Traps, abs
6 Quads, Hams, cardio
7 OFF
repeat

I've been doing Gopro's routine lately, i like it cuz it avoids staleness of doing the same thing over and over. Therefore, its tough to post the weights i use. Week 1 i go heavy, week 2 i go medium and pyramid, and week 3 i go lighter/shock.

I go by the "No-routine" routine, meaning i switch exercize order, reps, sets, rest, shock everything every single workout. Can't let that body adapt....

Nah bro.
i actually never had one to begin with. It was just at my home gym a few weeks ago, some dude wanted to squat with me, and he suggested i use his weight belt. It suprised me how much of a "boost" it gives your squat.

Since then, i don't use one anymore. It's kinda depressing being able to do 405x7 w/ a belt, and w/o one only 365x8

p.s. Thanks Jen

today's weight:221.5 I swear that electronic scale must be wrong! I eat and eat and eat and eat and it doesnt freakin go up haha

Well, i guess its almost good that i put on mass slowly (as strange as that sounds), cuz i believe its lean muscle mass anyways, instead of just stored fat........
