Hi all. My name is AJ, I am currently 6'3" 205lbs and on a bulk atm. I'd thought I would start a journal to keep track of my progress and to share my workouts with everyone, thanks.

List of supplements I take:

ON 100% whey
Myoplex MRP
multi vitamin
vitamin C
Occasionaly an ABB blue thunder or ABB carb force

Current Diet:

Meal one - 2 scoops whey, 2 cups water, 1/2 cup oats
Meal two - nat pb + almonds on ww, water
Meal three - skinless Rotissarie chicken, cup brown rice, water
Meal four - 2 scoops whey, 2 cups water, 1/2 cup oats
Meal five - ABB carbo force -or- Myoplex MRP
Meal six - 2 Turkey wrap's w/ veggies, salad, water
Meal seven - 1 cup cottage cheese, water

Aiming for approx 3500 cals

Current split:

Chest/Tri
Legs
Rest
Shoulders
Back/Bi
Rest

Today is a rest day but I'll list yesterday's workout. I only did back yesterday because i did bi's/tri's the previous day. I decided to change my routine to back/bi from now on so my arms aren't overtained, etc.

I agree with Patrick, nice w/o! I'm impressed with those deads!

V- I think 3500 is alright for a slow maintained bulk.



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...

Thanks rock, dead's are my favorite. I went easy on them this week because I've been slacking since New years.

Nice to meet you all.

Legs felt good today. When i put 295 on for squats during my first rep i thought i was going down for the count, lol. Luckily i made my way back up and it was easier from there on out. Good set though. I also did Hex squats but i dunno wut the rubber barbells weigh so i didn't bother listing them.

I'm taking tomorrow off (shoulders) because I'm going back home for the weekend. Monday is MLK Jr. day so I don't have classes.

Anyway, my diet has been in check and I've actually been leaning out. I woke up two days ago after chest and could tell I leaned out a bit around my mid-section. My legs are also noticablely bigger. They have been like that for awhile now (getting larger everyweek).

I'll pickup where I left off on Friday, later.

I ended up going to the gym yesterday (thursday) since i decided to go home today (friday).

DB press

60 x 8
50 x 8
45 x 8

Lateral raises (i love these)

30 x 8
30 x 8
30 x 8

Reverse flyes

25 x 8
25 x 8
25 x 8

Cleans

I have no idea how much weight I used. It was the largest rubber bb + 10lb on each side. It wasn't that it was heavy, I did 3 sets of 8 like I usually do but these really upped my heartrate. I have began to like them more and more, they are among my other favorites which are deadlifts and squats.

I'm writing this from school, but I'll be back home to workout. It's only a 4hour drive so it isn't too bad but I'm going to have to pack a nat pb sandwhich and/or a protein shake for the ride. I can't wait to do some deadlifts

40 x 8

Preacher curls

40 x 8
30 x 8

DB curls (at the same time)

30 x 8
30 x 8
30 x 8

My back is absolutely annihilated. I broke my best twice, i loaded up 385 and got it and a good song came on my ipod and the 45's were right there so i said what the hell, might as well try. So i got it up suprisingly easy. For now on im going to do alot less reps for my deads 5 or lower and use more weight. This was the first week i did Bi's following Back and they were so tired after doing back i had to cut back on the weight and sets which is better in my opinion. The only negative in this workout is that i forgot to do abs like a jackass.

Back/Bi's

Deadlift
warmup
315 x 5
365 x 5
385 x 2 (could've gotten 2 or 3 more easily)

100 x 8

WG pulldown
120 x 8

110 x 8

CG pulldown

35 x 8

Incline curls
40 x 8

DB curls (same time)
40 x 8
30 x 8

Yeah this workout was weird... I started off strong with my deads but as soon as i hit the pulldowns my Bi's became really fatigued really fast. But my traps and upper back are pretty soar today so its a good sign.

shit i just realized i lost 40-50lbs on my pulldowns, i didnt even notice that. wow. thats going to be fixed real fast.

I really would like to gain some more mass. Not sure where to add calories and in which meals. I was thinking about adding a grapefruit or banana in the morning for breakfast, just to get a few more calories. I also need to fix up my last meal id like to get a few more calories out of that. If i can get 400-500 more cals ill be set.

Chest/Tri's

Flat bench
185 x 8 (warmup)
225 x 1 *PB
205 x 5
135 x 10

Incline DB press
50 x 8
40 x 8

CG bench
135 x 8
95 x 8

1 hand overhead extensions (each arm)
20 x 8
20 x 8
20 x 8

ahhh... I was so pumped when i pushed 225 up! I didnt even intend to even attempt it, but when i had 185 on there i pumped out 8 reps rather easily and I told myself to just give it a shot and i got it up with ease. My CG bench sucked because by the time i got to my last set of dips my triceps were ready to explode.

Overall, I am very pleased with my workout, now i dont hate chest as much anymore, go figure, lol.

Shoulders

DB press

65 x 8
60 x 6
55 x 6
50 x 6

Cleans

Still unsure of the weight of the rubber barbells, i need to ask someone. I did 3 sets of 8, the first set i pressed them overhead, the last two sets i upped the weight. The bar is your standard 45lbs olympic bar.

Lateral Raises

35 x 8
30 x 8
30 x 8
30 x 8

Really good workout today, very intense. My shoulders felt so good and fluid after I left the gym. The only thing that bugged me was I got the 65 x 8 but couldnt get the last two reps on the subsequent sets due to forearm fatigue. The cleans were grueling and I was sweating a boat load when I go to the lateral raises. The laterals definately kicked my ass.

I also did 1 set of wg pullups and cg pullups, unfortunately my biceps suck so bad as far as strength i really cant do many reps yet. In addition, the pins were no where to be found so i couldnt do any more weight on my rows

It's alright though, every week I am able to deadlift more weight for more reps and I'm excited to do it every week because I get stronger every time

I'm also hammering/curling about half what i should be able to be... my bi's are cooked after pulldowns

P.S. I forgot to do abs AGAIN ... omg, so mad. now on my rest day i have to go back to the gym and do abs
