Alright, well last night was a pretty good time. We had a little pre-graduation thing with various speakers before the actual commencement tomorrow afternoon. We went to Mitchell's Steakhouse and I had a nice wedge salad with balslamic vinigarette, and a 12 oz filet mignon (all of which I ate, no leftovers
) I also got about 10 hours of sleep .Today I weighed in at 180.6lbs with my boxers + t-shirt on, maybe I'll get pictures and with some help decide whether to keep slowly bulking, or cut for a while. Right now I'm phsycing myself up to have a great back/bicep workout today. |

Shock: Back/Biceps
Arch - Thanks, so you don't think I should cut for a while? I am leaner and about 22lbs heavier than when I started in november, but I feel like I was more lean around March than I am now. In march I was around 164lbs or so. Maybe it's just the added overall mass that makes me feel less lean, rather than actually having more fat?
Today's workout was REALLY good. The deadlifts felt great, and there weren't too many people in the gym. It took about an hour to get everything done. I'm REALLY pressed for time, I gotta get a shower and try to make it to someone's grad party before it ends at 6:00 and it's 5:05 right now !!!!! Saturday 6-4-05 Back/Biceps Superset: Deadlifts/Shrugs (Archangel style: shrugging after top of deadlift) 1st set: 165lbs 10 reps PB- though I think I could've done 175 for 8 2nd set: 155lbs 8 reps 3rd set: 155lbs 9 Dropset: DB Rows 1st set: 50lbs 10 reps 2nd set: 45lbs 6 reps Superset: WG Lat Pulldowns on cable crossover ..DB Pullovers 1st set: 210lbs 8 reps ...30lbs 10 reps 2nd set: 210lbs 10 reps ...30lbs 10 reps Superset: Close grip pull downs .Seated DB Curls 1st set: 160lbs 10 reps .35lbs 10 reps 2nd set: 150lbs 10 reps ..30lbs 8 reps Dropset: BB Curls 1st set: 70lbs 7 reps 2nd set: 60lbs 6 reps Weighted Crunches (machine) 1st set: 80lbs 20 reps 2nd set: 100lbs 15 reps Declined weight situps 1st set: 25lbs 15 reps (I usually go to 30 reps then use a 35lbs plate, but at 15 reps I felt like throwing up .) Cardio: Bike at 10/20 resistance 15 minutes, 3.8 miles Last edited by Seanp156 : 06-04-2005 at 03:27 PM. |

Good looking wo's
As young as you are I think I would bulk as much as you can. Gotta throw a cut in there sometime though. Might try like P-funk and some of th eothers recommend. Shorter cycles . |

i would cut if i were you. I made a big mistake bulking when i was at 15% BF and i did get bigger and stronger after 1 month, my BF also went up to 18%.
I researched more and i currently read Tom Venuto's ebook BFFM (Burn the fat feed the muscle) and learned a lot of stuff from him. It's best to cut the fat first until you reach your desired BF%, then bulk while maintaing your BF. It's easier that way than the other way around. PM me if you guys want to download the ebook, i know how to get it for free ( ) |

Arch - As a superset, I like doing them that way rather than doing all the deads first, then the shrugs, but I love deadlifts and shrugs in and of themselves so it's all good.
GW - Thanks for stopping by again, it's good to see you back. Shiznit - I'm not really sure that cutting first is the best idea, it seems like it really depends on what you want to do. When I started at 158lbs I felt so weak, so to cut doesn't seem like it would've been a good choice. Even if you do cut before you bulk, your BF won't stay the same when you bulk. Of course, you'll have less overall fat to begin bulking with, so the total fat you have after the end of you bulk would be less. Billie - Thanks Billie, but I don't know if I'd say I've exactly ripped up. I've definately gotten bigger than a few months ago, but I'm not QUITE as lean as I was around Feb/March... Pretty close, but not quite... I think as far as bulking/cutting I'm going to kinda play it out... School's just ended so I don't get up as early... As a result, I probably won't eat as much throughout the day, and I also won't be eating PB/J sandwiches on white bread for lunch pretty much every day like I was during school. Also, for about 2 or 3 months I didn't do any cardio and now I'm doing it two times a week. So, with those changes I think over time I'll get more lean even if I'm not exatly going on a strict cut.

i've decided to go on a "somewhat" strict diet after my graduation (june 12th) to get over all those parties and shit. Then im free with no conflicts in my schedule for the rest of the summer to be able to eat and lift whenever i want.
I've been trying to figure out my macronutrient ratio's and i'm going to try the 50-30-20 method and just play around with it. But i'm having trouble deciding how to portion my foods and what to eat at certain times of the day. Like i know for breakfast i'll have oats, egg whites, protein shake, and a grapefruit. But i need to space everything out correctly so that i will have around 2700 calories (for my cut) as well as maintaining a 50-30-20 ratio. I am still a noob when it comes to dieting because i dont understand the whole carb-4 cals, protein-4 cals, and fat-9 cals shit when im dividing all these numbers. Like say if i ate 55% carbs today. Do i multiply (.55) x 2700 = 1485. Then 1485/4 = 371.2 g. of carbs? How am i supposed to count the grams of carbs in my meals? I also want to space out the meals to 5-6 per day. So in the morning i'll have 550 calories, then meal 2-5 will be 450 calories, and lastly meal 6 is 350 calories. This adds up to 2700 calories which is where i want to start. All i need to know is how to combine certain proteins/carbs/fats together so the ratio will always be 50-30-20 at the end of the day and i am eating 2700 calories. I'm going to post this in the diet section, you probably dont have a clue what im saying, lol. I am just so pissed that i dont have much knowledge on this stuff. I wish i had the brains of emma and jodie. |

Great pics! You can definitley see a change!
I'd keep bulking. If you are cleaning up your diet for the summer anyway, that'll probably be all you need at your age. Enjoy it while you can! ![]() |

Thanks for all the comments guys and girls... The weird thing is, my waist is about an inch bigger than it was in november (but I'm also 22lbs heavier), so my mid section's bigger, but there's a LOT more definition there. I can actually see my top two abs a little bit, and a slight outline on the rest, as well as a little of my obliques. I don't exactly like my waist getting bigger, but if there's more definition than there used to be, I guess it's not really a bad thing.
BTW, my diet today sucked.... Probably around 2000 calories or so... It probably won't be great tomorrow either, but after that I should be back on track for the most part. Anyway, at some point during the summer I'm going to switch to a 4 day splits, so I'll be hitting the gym a bit more often. If I do that, however, I don't know if I should stick to cardio just 2 times a week, or go for 3... |

22lbs with only an inch gain? That's fantastic! You should be very proud!
