Thanks!!

Not to mention you are probably loosing fat and gaining muscle. Keep it up, as long s your natural gains come slow

Are you on a specific type of bulking diet, or just "EATIN LOTS"?

Thanks Monolith!!
My bulking consists of a pretty clean diet. Sugar and unhealthy fats are what I'm trying to stay away from. About 3000 cals a day broken up 20/40/40. Though the last week or so my appitite sucks.
Thanks!!

3-22-04...
Today I started ON's Adenergy for shits and giggles. I cycled off Swole v2 (stopped it 1 week ago) and still consuming about 3000 cals or so. The only supps I'm taking is Glutamine, Joint Care, ZMA, and BCCA's. Along of course the Fish oil pills. Weekly split will stay about the same as far as exercises but workouts itself might change due to that I'm playing softball on Wed night.

Monday- Chest/ Tris
Tuesday- Legs
Wed- Abs/Off/Softball
Thursday-Back/Biceps
Fri-Shoulders/Traps

Thanks!!

P.S. forgot to add I weigh now 192 lbs and about 15% body fat give or take.

3-22-04 Workout...
Chest

Well my time was really limited tonight due to circumstances out of my hands I was only able to do chest... i'll do isolations on triceps on Tuesday.

Barbell Bench Press
135x8
170x8
180x5
190x5 (one more rep then last week, also Personal Best. I will use this as my 3rd set next week and try 200lbs and we'll see how that works.)

Incline Bench
40x10
50x8
50x8
60x7

Incline Flyes
30x10
40x10
40x8
50x8

Still waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy too early to report on anything with the Adenergy but noticed maybe a little more awareness and pumped up feeling but was probably all in my head!!

Please feel free to critique!!
THanks!!

Damn... Your gaining strength fast! I better get my ass in gear

I'm Trying · 03-28-2004, 11:47 PM

Damn this sucks!! The last several days I've had no energy. I've just been downright lazy. I need to kick myself in the butt and get going. I only worked out one day last week and played softball. Is my graveyard shift getting to me??

PreMier · 03-29-2004, 04:24 PM

Damn that sucks. Graveyard is the absolute shits!!! I work from 2:30-11:30 and that fucking blows. I couldnt even imagine working nights like you do

I'm Trying · 03-29-2004, 11:46 PM

Yes it does. Lately my energy has been in the gutter. I want to work out but I'm worried my work will suffer later on in the night.

PreMier · 03-30-2004, 03:32 PM

Are you on any new supps?

Have you got the budget for any added supplements? There's a ton of different stuff you could use... off the top of my head, Avant's HEAT sounds like it would be ideal for ya. Barring that, just something like ALCAR and choline would be good. It can enhance your concentration (best way i can describe it)... might be one way of overcoming that drained feeling once you get to work.

gwcaton · 03-30-2004, 08:17 PM

Hey Matthew,

Whats the deal ? I 've been gone a week and I only see one workout posted during that time?

I'm Trying · 03-30-2004, 11:53 PM

No nothing new. Except I used Adenergy for a couple of days but haven't used any for about 4 to 5 days.

How's it going man?

TGIF !!!!

PreMier · 04-02-2004, 03:15 PM

I was about to bump this too...

Maybe I am missing something, did they shift you from days to nights? Or are you just tired all of a sudden?

I'm Trying · 04-03-2004, 03:29 PM

I'm going for it again on Monday. I think my shift has caught up to me all of the sudden. I'm thinking of starting a new journal or keep this one. I'm still "bulking" so I might as well keep this one. Don't know I'll make up my mind though.
Thanks!!

gwcaton · 04-05-2004, 06:00 AM

4-5-04...
Starting today I'm stacking Swolev2 and Syntrax Nitrous.
Finally I had the energy to workout today!!! I did chest and triceps.

BB Flat Bench
135x8
155x8
175x7
185x4

DB Incline
40x8
50x8
55x8
60x8

Incline Flyes
30x8
40x8
40x8
50x8

Bench Dips
BWx10
BW+10x10
BW+25x10

V-Bar Press Down
50x10
55x8
60x6

Good workout overall!! I'm suprised my strength is still right about where it was two weeks ago. I didn't push myself too hard and kind of took it easy to get back into the swing of things. Can't wait to kick some ass next week!!!! The stack is too early to tell so I'll update as time goes on.

Please feel free to critique!!
Thanks!!

Oh hell yeah!! It did feel good. Just wished I did more weight, shouldn't of felt so cautious. What do you think if I did my workout rotation Two on Two off Two on one off?? Would that put me at a disadvantage at all. It would look like this...

Sunday: Legs
Monday: Chest/Tris
Tuesday: off
Wed: Softball Night/ Abs
Thursday: Back/ Biceps
Friday: Shoulders
Sat: Off

The reason being since I have softball Wed night I take Tuesday night off so I'm not that sore for that day. But really Wed is not a day off since I'm running around and being active.
Thanks!!
