okay. well i like to have a scoop of syntha-6 in the mornings with whatever else im eating, and a scoop of syntha-6 before bed with whatever else im eating. there are days when i just have a scoop in the morning. usually i get in a fair amount of food each day, but i was out of the house today for almost 5 hours when id only expected to be gone an hour or 2, so that did kind of mess with my eating schedule and all. tomorrow will be different, ill be sure to post all i eat and hope that you guys drop back in here and tell me what you think.

thanks for all the tips, suggestions, and help so far. give all the info you feel like giving because im like a sponge right now, trying to take in as much as i can.

What kind of routine are you doing now? Do you always do a full body work out or do you have a split of some kind (push/pull/legs, chest/back/legs)?

The way I think of diet is that each meal needs 3 things protein, fats, and most important for you is carbs. So what I do is eat 3 big meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) with healthy real food, and 2 replacement meals a day in between breakfast-lunch and another between lunch-dinner. In my replacement meal I use 12oz water mixed with whey, flax seed oil, and oatmeal all mixed together. If you do this properly your body will never go more that 3 hours with out food. And make sure you get LOTS of cals and water, mary jane can help out with that (dry mouth + munchies) lol.

nice workout man, looking good

as for doing bench before pushups, it's best because you want as much energy as possible for the heavier lifts such as bench, so doing that before pushups will give you that.

Mary jane is the ultimate bulking 'supplement' an appetite booster extrodinaire. Helps with DOMS too. Totally useless on a cut though.

Amen brother!

hey jail. yeah im currently trying full body workouts. for a number of reasons i guess. 1 - i never feel sore after a workout, like ever. if i do its just a slight soreness and when i move certain ways. 2 - i feel like i have a lot of work to do and a lot of changes to make, so working my entire body couldnt hurt? 3 - im also still trying to focus real hard on my form and make sure i am doing things correctly. ive tried 2 or 3 other routines and just really enjoy the full body at the moment. hopefully i do end up getting some good results from it like im thinking i will.

yeah about the diet, im still constantly tweaking it and working on it. its fuckin crazy that dieting could actually almost be harder than working out..haha. today i have eaten a lot more real food, but i know i still could improve. ill post my meals later tonight. lol yeah, i cant get enough of mary jane

thanks scar ! i just cant wait until i can put some '100lbs' next to a few or more exercises. thats one of my main goals i guess, to get to 100lbs on as many exercises as possible.

about the bench before pushups, man i cant believe that didnt cross my mind. that makes perfect sense and i cant believe ive been doing it the other way around now. i might possibly be able to do more weight on my bench now that ive switched it around to the way its supposed to be, or at least be able to do more reps.

one thing that bums me out though. i look pretty damn good in those pictures. i look pretty big and muscular, its crazy looking at those pictures really. i love it. but at the same time, its like i look at the pictures then i look down at myself and it doesnt seem like thats me. like my muscles look bigger in the pics than they really are. eh who knows, i do think i look pretty good so far i guess

I did full body for a while when I first started also. But after switching to a split I saw way better results and got stronger faster to. Push/pull/legs is the easiest split to start. You shouldn't have a problem getting ur 100lb lift goal, your already almost there with your mighty t-bar rows!

Delusional

i actually was pretty interested in push/pull/legs not too long ago, but for some reason i couldnt get a good routine set up. after my work out friday i will try and design a few over the weekend, and possibly begin one monday. thanks for the comments and tips bro. much appreciated. and yeah i like doing t-bar rows for some reason, at the moment theyre definitely one of my favorite exercises. really hoping to be able to bench 100 eventually though, thats something im going crazy about. thanks again man

If you look through my journal you can get some ideas for p/p/l. It's actually a good idea to have 2 different routines and rotate them. It's really not that difficult to make one.

Watch for processed sugars. I guarantee your protein bar and strawberry milk are loaded full of 'em. And, don't fall for the whole MaltoDextrin complex-carb-only trick. MaltoDextrin is sugar bound with hydrogen. The hydrogen chains break as soon as ingested and all you get is raw nutrientless simple-carb sugar. Screw sugar! Eat real food!

[-] workout rating: - 8 out of 10
[-] broke some records today: front squats, sldl, bent over bb row, barbell curl, db curl, flat bench bb, incline db press

today had a friend come over, hes starting to come over more often now to workout when i do. its cool, i like having someone to workout with and it helped me slow down a bit and rest between sets. was some pretty good motivation too. this was going to be my last full body workout for a while so i was really just testing some of the muscles i plan to focus on, and getting an idea of where everything is at. i am psyched about todays workout, like i said not huge numbers but for me it was heavy weight. and it felt great lifting the entire time, i felt more than great and i still feel good afterwards, just barely sore. (thanksweed) pushed myself pretty hard, did everything i had set out to do, rested about 45 seconds to 1 minute or a bit more between nearly every set except for when i did push-ups. also upped the weight on basically every exercise and was surprised i handled it as well as i did. really went for 10 reps as much as i could. my wrist didnt hurt doing the front squats today, either. yup, im pretty happy with how today went.
now going to try and design a couple of push/pull/leg routines over the weekend, and like i said start one monday. but, ive decided that ill go 2 weeks of p/p/l, and then monday ill do a full body workout to see where im at on a couple exercises, and then hop back into the p/p/l for another 2 weeks. that sound alright? im pretty excited and anxious about it, and hope i see some good improvements after 2 weeks. i want to get my bench up to 100lbs but i dont think 2 weeks will be enough time.

ill post my food later tonight, its not the best but its not bad. could be worse... hah

take care guys, happy training

well ive been sitting here for almost a good 45 minutes now, trying to set up a decent push/pull/leg routine. well actually it was only a bit harder because i wanted to design two different routines, so i could switch between the two every now and then. some things to keep in mind: i only have dumbbells, a barbell, 10lb kettle weights, a crappy bench that only switches to incline. i have to go to the park at the school by my house to do pull ups. my exercise room here at home has a low and also angled ceiling, so i cant do standing exercises because theres no way i can extend my arms, that also makes exercises like the step up impossible. bleh so this is what i got and really i think its as good as its going to get. if anyone has some suggestions or any comments, anything at all. please share im not the greatest when it comes to designing routines. here goes.

Push/Pull/Legs Routine #1:

Pull:
Bent Over Barbell Row
Barbell Shrug
Barbell Curl
T-Bar Row
Close Grip Chin Ups

Push:
Flat Bench Press
Skull Crusher
Flat Dumbbell Flyes
Lying Over-Head Tricep Extension
Push-Ups (Flat/Body Elevated, Wide Grip)

Legs:
Standing Calf Raises
Front Squat (ATG)
SLDL (Working calves)
Lunges


Push/Pull/Legs Routine #2

Pull:
Bent-Over One Arm Dumbbell Row
Alternating Dumbbell Curls, Standing
Dumbbell Lateral Raises (Front/Side)
T-Bar Row
Wide Grip Pull Ups

Push:
Seated Military Press
Close Grip Bench Press
Incline Dumbbell Press
Incline Dumbbell Flyes
Push Ups (Close grip, Thumbs touching to work triceps) (Feet Elevated, Wide Grip)

Legs:
Standing Calf Raises
Back Squat (ATG)
SLDL (Working hamstrings)
Lunges

hope its not too horrible also, ill be doing the exercises in this EXACT order. and ill do pull monday, push wednesday, and legs friday, and then take the weekend off. does that sound right for me?

have a good night everyone
