cals look good. Macros in in my opinion don't mean that much when bulking. All I care about when bulking is calores and protein. Are you getting enough Protein? If so then good....now just eat everyhting else in sight because it is just energy to train hard. Ya dig?

Anything, meaning ANYTHING P-funk?

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...

lol, pretty much. I mean I eat really clean all the time, even when bulking. But when I am bulking I'll still pound down things like pasta or tons of cashews or cereal just to get easy calories. I can eat so much food that it is rough trying to get enough to eat so I have to go with things that are really calorie dense.

Hrm... I am pretty damn sure I am getting enough protein... I mean I get 90+ from shakes alone. Plus the 6 large chx breasts I eat a day, and the 2 cups cottage cheese. Maybe I need to figure out my macros.

Killer arm rock!

Haha, thanks Premi! I'm not happy with it though. But i'm keeping optimistic. I usually get about 150g protein from shakes a day. I know that's not optimal (meaning I need more food) but that's what I have time for.

hey premi-
dang...just read your WHOLE journal..inspiring, bro-
Couple ?'s:
Are you not upping the weights on your chest day? Looks like you've been doing the exact same thing for 5 - workouts? (or doing that on purpose?)

I think you and I do similar back workouts. I usually do two exercises per angle (pull up / pull down and bb rows / cable rows)
Do you like to rpe-exhaust your legs before squats?

Lookin' good, bro-
might try those mudge meals..

Well, 5 workouts is 2-3 weeks only. So I have really not gotten strong enough to up the weights. I guess I could but I am not powerlifting, so as long as I feel I got a good workout I am ok with it.
I dont necissarily pre-exhaust them. I dont do ANY cardio... none at all. I find doing a couple of sets of leg extensions helps warm up my quads. Basically it just loosens me up a bit.

Thanks for droppin by Burner

gotcha. I read in another thread your day split. Spoke too soon.
Your legs recover that quickly? Your leg W/outs are more intense than mine...and mine take some time to heal...

Yea, changed the split in the first part of the journal. I dont do the #1 post w/o anymore.

Well, they recover for the most part. My hammies are a bit stiff/sore, but I have legs tomorrow. I am also going to go to failure tomorrow on legs. So maybe they will get fried.

C'mon man... your not old. I bet you put more effort into it than I do.

I'm liking your split. THinking I give it a whirl next week.
More effort? Did you read my journal? I get my dumb ass stuck under my squat? I wasn't ready for the weight. Was leasning too far forward, didn't get down as far as I like to go..wanted to feel the weight...boy did I!

Well... I did legs today, and since Atherjen said I should be going to failure thats what I did. I had to stop a little early, because the "pump" in my back came back. I guess its from heavy weight, I dunno.

Legs--
Leg extensions
1 set 20 reps@70Lbs
1 set 20 reps@90Lbs
2 sets 15 reps@110Lbs

Squats(to failure )
2 sets 10 reps@135Lbs(warmup)
1 set 20 reps@225Lbs
2 sets 6,4 reps@315(I sooo wish I had a spotter. It would be so beneficial to get a few more reps out of theese with a little bit of help )

SLDL
1 set 12 reps@135
2 sets 10 reps@185(back was fried so I quit here.)

Flex

yo buddy....

you're lower back "pumps" are prob. cuz you're leaning forward too much when squatting.....try keeping that head up and staying more upright, that should do the trick....

and when you squat, don't do so many "warmups".
do like 1 set of 135 (like 8 or 10x's). then move to 225 (only like 6-8), then start going heavy. thats how you make your legs grow....i used to make the same mistake, and rep out on 225, then 275. by the time i got to 315 i was dead. now, i rep 315 like its cake.......

You're a funny guy, Sully, I like you. Dat's why I'm going to kill you lahst.

Thanks Flex. I am thinking that my back is getting pumped because I only got rid of my weight belt a week ago. I will definately make sure my form is solid next time I squat.

Also, where do you place the bar on your back? High on your traps or low on your traps?

okay, of you hold it higher on your traps make sure that you sit up a bit more and lead with your chest a lot. It is hard to hold it up there when the weight gets heavy because most people don't have the lower back strength to stay upright and they end up squating and their back rounds and there hips move first so they are not going chest up which puts a hurtin' on the lower vertabrae. Try sitting in the hole with light weight for a 4sec pause at each rep (stop squats). Pausing and staying upright like that will give you some good endurace and lower back strength to go heavier.

Thanks Patrick. I know I NEVER round my back, but I might be leaning a bit forward like Flex said. On the stop squats, should I stand in normal squat stance, or have my feet closer together?
