Thread: To be the Best...My off season Log

Of course I will be taking supplements in the months ahead to assist me in bulking. They are as follows:

Syntrax Swole V2
Syntrax Nitrous*
L-Glutamine*
Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein
Dextrose*
ZMA
Centrium Performance

I'm open to any suggestions so if you feel anything should be added to a bulking cycle feel free to post here.


Supplements with (*)'s have not been recieved yet and will most likely not be put into effect until Week 3.

I'm sure you don't suck THAT bad I say go for it! You'd be suprised what an experience a meet is. And trust me, there's people there that probably shouldn't be there (like when I beat someone by 400 pounds) lol Never hold back, because you don't think you're good enough. If you lean out you might be able to compete. If not, at least you could say that you did it.

I got my Glutamine in so i'll be able to start it tommorow. Just need to come up with the cash to order some Dextrose and Nitrous now.

Felt REALLY tired today, dont know why. Despite this, I was pumped and ready to get back in the gym. Had a good workout - taking Swole 30 min. before a workout seems to help as well.

Workout:
Hams, Calves
Auxillary:
Glutes, Lower Back

Details:
Squat
1x8
1x6
1x4
1x3
Did these sets while increasing weight. ASS TO THE FLOOR for a better burn. Seemed too easy so i'll be altering the work out and throwing some REAL weight on there when I train quads!

Leg Curls
4x6 (First set warmup)

Raised Stiff-Leg Deadlift
2x10
Cut off the third set here because I was feeling way too much strain in my lower back.

Leg Press
3x6

Alternate Dumbell Calve Raises
3x30

Lying Calve Raises
3x25

How low can you get on your squat and how much do you stretch? the reason I ask is because I can get really low and am trying to get my ass to actually touch the floor. Can you hit the floor?

No, not literally lol. My ass to the floor definition is 3-4 inches below parallel. I get a better burn in my glutes and quads this way. LOTS of stretching is really important. I stretch before, after, and between each lift.

good man

try to remember the weights you used

so we can admire lol

I'll be sure to keep track of the weights on my major lifts from now on.

Really sore from yesterday's workout (glutes and hams) Felt really good so I was excited to go into today's workout. I felt shitty on bench though and ended up going pretty light.

Lookin good bro, keep up the training and eat like a pig, and in a few years, you'll be a monster

lol i know what you mean man. I LOVE being sore the next day. I've been eating like crazy. To near puking and then some. My carb intake has been over 2.5 times my body weight and my protein intake about 2 times my body weight. It's killer bulking. And I thought cutting was hard. I'll post an example diet here soon.

Once again I was extremely sore! I'm loving these new workouts. My biceps were so sore I could barely bend my arms. I questioned taking today off, but at the end of the day I just couldn't wait to get back in the gym so here's today's workout:

Workout:
Lowerback, Lats, Calves
Auxillary:
Shoulders, Hams, Quads

Good Mornings
3x6-10

Supermans (Weighted)

3x6

Behind-the-Neck Lat Pulls
3x6

Pull Ups
3xto failure

Seated Calve Raises

Alternate Dumbell Calve Raises

I have to take in that much carbs to put on any weight. I have a VERY fast metabolism. Putting on any weight at all is hard for me. I'm stuck right now, but i'm sure my body will only gain as it needs to. Don't worry though - i'm not going Lee Priest lol Just doing whatever it takes to put on a little weight.

No. Odd thing is i've been asked that before about Starcraft and Unreal Tournament lol

When I do any kind of gaming though I usually go by the handle "alax54" (something random)

..and if I DO start to put on more weight or fat than needed i'll be sure to cut carbs a little.
