How oldand how tall are you by the way?

Hmm... Total cals look alright, but 20% protein? That seems too low to me. It may be better to try 40/40/20 p/c/f for now. Do you have a reason for 50% carbs?

If you weigh around 145-150, you should try and get around 200-250g protein if you're training to gain lean mass.

I agree totally guys. But Chuck says to just stick with it. Also note the 24grams of protein I'm not counting from extend during my workout. Chuck also doesn't count incomplete proteins ie beans,pasta,oats,and well you know. I eat so many nuts almonds and pumpkin seeds mainly that gives me extra protein. I get at least 35grams of protein from the nuts but Chuck doesn't count that ether. I'm 17 years old and about 5 foot 9 and a half. I true fully am glade I'm this height makes lifting much easier for me. I will ask Chuck if i should raise the protein. He's gonna change some things i suspect by next week ie workout,diet,and supps. Chuck does total cal needs. Then protein needs then makes 30% of cals fat and the rest is carbs.

Man i feel so pumped. I didn't go to failure today and i just feel so much better now. Pics as soon as i get to 160 pounds.
Weight=151.8 super-2-2.2 abdo-3.2-4
man i can't wait till i can cut. this may seem odd to others but i don't like eating to where I'm full. I feel best when I'm hungry and running alot. lol
sleep-9 hours
supps-creatine,whey,extend,fish oil,vitc,vite,and a multi
GOALS-For myself
*GET TO 160 POUNDS
*stay lean
*give my workouts a 100% effort
*stay happy and positive
Workout- Like i said damn i feel to refreshed and ready to go
Lunges 99X11 11 9 To mix it up. I don't wanna burn my CNS out on one set pattern.
Barbell curls 66X6 6 5
skull crusher 55X10 8 9 My triceps are weaker so my chest takes over the bench press making close grip board presses still rather useless to me.
Leg extensions 66X14 14 I don't think that isolation machines are good but for a burn at the end of a workout when the body part has already been burned out i believe they are cool.
Workout in evening=I could'nt do it today but this is the only one i will be missing.

My workout when last changed now looks like this. I will do my best to keep it steady with one program for at least 2 months! I give all credit to Ironman and will adhere to his program except on 3 instances. Squats will be done first on a upper body day. I will deadlift. I will go heavy on mon and weds and go lighter on fri and sat. That said and done he knows his shit and you gotta respect his knowledge.
Mon-Chest,tri,bi,quads,and lats
tues-off
weds-Lower back,hams,calves,shoulders,and traps
thrus-off
fri-same as monday
sat-same as weds
sun-off
I will go to failure on fri and sat, and on mon and weds i will stop one rep shy of failure(or try i usually push it so i will refrain from doing it in favor of have a higher sex drive and energy levels, meaning not being over trained.) i will stick to two exercises maybe three at most per body part. By this i mean i usually will just do squats for quads but maybe every 3 weeks i will add in like lunges or leg presses

Hey man, from someone who has also suffered from an eating disorder, you really need to stop the constant weighing and b/f checking. You're going to gain from fat, it's inevitable. I know that right after mine my metabolism was crazy high and I gained a bunch of water weight. yeah, it was scary, but if you're constantly letting your mood be decided by your weight and bf for the day, you'll never get any better.

ReelBigFish

and all that "feel better when eating less and running" is something I used to feel. You get that feeling when you're really full, that you're gaining fat, right then and there, and that if you're not active every 2 seconds you're getting fat. You gotta stop that, I suggest cutting out cardio, if you're doing any, for a long time.

Brutus_G

I am working my way down to once a week. i used to take it every day lol. But now i just take it on training days and cause seeing my body weight go up every day i train really inspires me. Like i said i will get it to one time a week and i know body fat gains will happen. Did you have one to? Do you think that bodybuilding may encourage it? Your right I wont let my body fat decide my mood i thank you for your advice.

Brutus_G

Lol you know me somehow. Well i just do the cardio cause chuck wants me to but it's not extremly intense or anything ie 30 min fast paced walk or stepper.

i know cause i've been there. I had anorexia. At my lowest I was at 95lbs. It started out as Atkins and after getting to 160, I wanted to lose more, becuae my abs weren't showing. Well I started eating less and less and that's how I got there. It's been 2 years, and I'm still not mentally ok. I can't let myself eat unlcean, but i'd never relapse, because I want to be HUGE. It's hard tho, because I gain some fat and see myself getting huge agian.

I know the feeling that if you're not always active you're getting fat. I just recently coaxed myself to stop all cardio. If you ever need any help or someone to talk to about it man(non-fruity, LOL), just let me know.

Brutus_G

Thanks man. Strangely you are the forth bodybuilder i met who has had an eating disorder. Man how tall are you? I was dead skinny at 122 pounds 98 must've been skeletal. The whole reason my started was also for the abs. But like you i also have a goal of being huge 200 pounds at 5% body fat,nothings gonna stop me. On a side note i think i look better now at a higher % body fat??? lol and well bodybuilding is all about the aesthetic.

I think a lot of the people who get in to this, start out the same. They all have body image disorders and/or eating disorders. When i was in 2nd grade I didn't like how I looked and thought about it even then. That's over 10 years of not liking my body.

I'm 5ft 8 to 5ft 9. Yeah it was disgusting. I tell you what tho, you now have the ability to help people, and inform people of what it's like, and stop others from making the same mistake.

Brutus_G

omg i did'nt like how i looked in 2nd grade ether... Did you go through a doing 200 situps a days phase to get six pack abs also in middle school?

Hey all. Ok just to get my daily rant off my chest(or should i say lower back and forearms.) I need straps my forearms gave out when i had 3 dead lifts left in me. In total i lost about 7 dead lift reps I'll be getting some straps today ,and I'll still use my forearms to grip the bar just when they give out i will let the straps take over. Also Chuck said I'm fine i actually get 215 grams on training days of protein(not counting nuts or incomplete proteins) and off days i get 180g.
Weight=? Bf%=? It was hard but i put the calipers down lol from now on it's strictly mondays.
Sleep=9 hours
supps=creatine,whey,extend,fish oil,vitc,vite,and a multi
GOALS=For myself
*Get to 160 pounds
*Stay lean
*give my workouts a 100% effort
*Stay happy and positive
Workout=well as i said i'm both relaxed and pissed about the dead lifts. But as one of my goals is to not get angry i wont let it bug me,anyway today wasn't a failure day today.
Dead lifts 143X15 12 10 i know it should've been 17 14 12 oh well

Calf raises 104.5X 26 21 21 i feel sore even now about 1 hour later(damn tommorow will be fun lol)

1 Arm rows 33X9 22X14 14 i bite down my ego and really felt it in my lats
Evening Workout=
Clean with push press 66X 11 10 9
Shrugs 132X21 19 18

yo

What kind of workout do you have going on? Like your split or routine and what not.

Before you buy the straps I would like to recommond that you do static holds with dumb bells, they helped me out a crapload with grip. I haven't failed my grip on deadlifts since I started doing them. I usually do three sets of holding two dumb bells for 25-35 seconds. Straps are good too I supposed for building your muscles beyond your grip power. I suggest strengthening your grip with weights along with using straps in moderation.

LOL yup. I remember all through out 6-8 grade I always did them, thinking it would melt away my stomach fat.

I'm following Ironman's workout routine with 3 changes to it. I do 4 workouts a week one for upper one for lower then repeat. Oh on the deadlifts i scrapped my shins today several times...I'm so proud now i'm like an offical Iron junkie.
Mon-up
tues-off
wed-low
thrus-off
fri-up
sat-low
sun-off
The changes are i do squats/thigh exercises on up days. I do deadlift. Last I do one day heavy one day light. I can't go heavy on deadlifts though i only have like 145 pounds. Hey reel with have alot in common man. Is squating your favorite exercise? I bet you like apples and peanut butter sandwiches?
