ok Bf is 9.75% which isnt exactly what i wanted i ended up gaining 2.8 pounds this week on only 2450 cals a day with cardio. Of that 2.8 pounds 1.39 is muscle so its not all bad that said and done im lowering my cals to 2000 and gonna keep the cardio in 3 times a week. My goal is to gain 1/2 a pound every week with about 80-90% of that being muscle.

Ok after some thinking heres my new diet
its a 40 p 40 c 20 f split with total cals =2000
As you can see I'm actually gonna try a low fat diet with moderate carbs which for me is just freaking unheard of. Still going for the 1/2 pound gain per week. Ill post up pics next week just so i can see if I'm still looking lean.

Hey, B. Just enjoy man. I understand your motivation, and appreciate it. Cut back on thinking too much about numbers, and enjoy the bitches, then you won't be able to think too much about numbers, except the ones you can trace on her......

I would watch youtube videos of people hang cleaning a very heavy weight anyone can clean ,but the guys doing it heavy in general will have the best form. Read a shit load about technique and also its very important to have someone who knows what they're doing to teach you. If you dont have a good teacher your just get bad habits.

The lifts help you get more explosive and add power(strength speed). You'll also improve your vertical jump some.

Outstanding! How can you run 4 miles after squat day? I could never do that, so much that I've pretty much dropped squats from the routine.

I'll have to agree on all of that. I don't legpress much anymore because of foot problems, so I just stick to squats for now. But the delt and peck dec, for sure.

What's funny is at my gym a lot of people use the rear delt machine for a pec dec even though there is a pec dec there. I guess it don't matter, but it's annoying when you want to use it.
