Little Guy With Big Hopes

Delusional · 10-16-2007, 11:42 AM

wow, is this a stupid title for my journal? it probably is, but oh well. its the truth, really. ive been wanting to make a journal for a while now, but honestly i was a bit nervous to start one. after reading through other people's journals for the past week or so ive decided to go ahead and start one though. i figure it might start out bad but it cant get worse, it can only get better.

anyways, just so everyone can get a little idea...here's a biography

i'm sean, 20 years old, about 5"6, and currently weigh 127lbs (just weighed myself this morning). at the moment i dont have any way to figure out my body fat, but im not toooo worried about that right now. ive always been a small dude, eventually just figured i wouldnt grow much more, if at all. used to be chubby as a kid, weighed around 140. became more active, got down to 120lbs and have been around there ever since. ive never been able to stay consistent with things like weight lifting, and proper dieting. id start up, then begin slacking or completely just quit after a week or 2. well as of late august something finally got in me, i really wanted to change everything about me. i knew this time it was real, i felt like i had gained mental power and grown more, and could seriously stick with it. so since late august, ive began bulking. so far id say my diet is good. at first i was actually losing weight, when i thought the way i was eating id be gaining weight. kept going up and down for a while (weighing myself once a week) and now i think i finally got it down, and am slowly but surely working my way up there. keep in mind, im a small guy, always have been. barely touched any weights, ever. my entire life. so yeah, the numbers wont be huge or anything, but im not at all emberassed. like say ill do 60-70lbs flat bench press, then my friend will add a ton of weights and bust out 130 or 140. but it doesnt get to me, i mean im finally putting in the effort and time, and staying consistent and true to all this. so i know eventually ill be able to start piling on the weights and stuff, and im really looking forward to it.

ill update this basically every day (maybe some times on a rest day i wont) with as much info. as i can and try to make it interesting. ill post some pictures also, if not tonight i will tomorrow. well i guess that's it for now. today is my rest day, so just doin what i do best, chillaxin. quit my job so days have been going by slow, and im running out of money

thanks to all who read and stick around !

Good luck with this. Just eat loads and workout hard, and you'll build yourself right up.

vortrit · 10-16-2007, 05:19 PM

Great place to start building up. A journal is a great thing to have. You'll find a lot of people help you along your way until you finally build your own workout style. That's how it worked for me anyway. Good luck and keep at it.

JailHouse · 10-16-2007, 05:33 PM

Sounds good man. Good luck with your goals!

Delusional · 10-16-2007, 05:51 PM

thanks so much for all the wishes guys, thats some serious encouragement to already help get me going strong. i appreciate it more than you know. i will be bookmarking your journals and doing my best to get a little caught up with them, and visit them often. thanks again

i decided to take some pictures tomorrow, but was wondering..
when most people post pictures, is it better to flex, or just be relaxed? the reason i ask is because i plan to add pictures every month and i want to be able to see what improvements ive made, and others to be able to see too. just not sure which would be best to do.

Scarface30 · 10-16-2007, 05:56 PM

journals are the way to go! good luck with your training too dude

as for the pics, I think a lot of people do both...both relaxed and flexed pics.

PreMier · 10-16-2007, 06:49 PM

i do my comparison pics relaxed

jokbc52 · 10-16-2007, 07:20 PM

Delusional · 10-16-2007, 07:48 PM

well im not sure when i want to workout, i feel like i could now but i think i will wait another hour, maybe 2. a friend of mine wanted to come over and work out with me, but he cant make it here for another 5 or 6 hours, and i definitely cant wait that long.
ill have pictures some time today. both flexed and relaxed, ill do my best to get some decent angles and stuff and ill do the same angles and whatnot every month. really hoping this goes well and i see some slight results each month, even if they're really small. i know eventually i might not get results every month and thats fine, but since im fairly new i figure ill have somethin to look forward to each month (man i hope) also going to snap a couple pictures of my bench. oh jeez just wait until you guys see my set up, its pathetic, tragic, down right horrible. but its all i got to work with and im just glad i got something for now.

thanks to all who decide to drop by here now and then

ill be updating this again later today probably, and for sure tonight because ill be posting my workout, and what i ate for the day. happy training everyone !

JailHouse · 10-17-2007, 11:12 AM

If you stick to your diet and lift consistently you will definitely see results!

yea thats what im thinking. just going to keep a positive attitude through all this, all the time every single day no matter what. if i can stay strong and focused mentally then i know i will do well and continue to push myself further and further.
i just finished my workout not too long ago, i cant complain. maybe the numbers werent huge but i felt amazing after i finished. ill go into detail and post my workout tonight, along with pictures ! and damn i gotta say vanilla TrueMass is soooo good.

Delusional · 10-17-2007, 05:47 PM

whats up :] gona post my workout and my food. thanks for reading

also, my current supplements:
TrueMass
Syntha-6
CellMass
N.O Xplode
Nitrix
Animal Pak
GNC Fish Body Oils 1000
and got some left over gnc pro mega whey i break into every now and then

possibly too much? yeah i couldnt argue really. but its all helped me so far, except for possibly the creatine, i cant say for sure whether or not its working because i dont really know what to expect from it..heh.

Wed. Workout: 11:20 10/17(in this exact order)

Front Squat: 1x8 @ 60lbs|| 1x6 @ 60lbs|| 1x8 @ 70lbs
-
SLDL: 2x8 @70lbs|| 1x8 @ 80lbs
-
(BW) Push-Ups: Flat: 1x15, 1x6|| Feet Elevated: 1x15, 1x6|| Body Elevated: 1x15, 1x6|| No rest the entire time
-
Flat Bench Press (BB):1x8 @ 60lbs|| 1x6 @ 70lbs|| 1x8@80lbs
-
Barbell Shoulder Shrugs: 1x10 @ 70lbs|| 1x10 @ 100lbs|| 1x8 @ 80lbs
-
T-Bar Row: 1x10 @ 65lbs|| 1x10 @ 90lbs|| 1x8 @ 80lbs

End Workout: 12:00

like i said, not big numbers, but it was a good workout for me. i take anywhere from a 5-15 second rest after my first set, 15-25 after my second set, and then after ive completed the exercise (3rd set) i take a 1 minute before i start the next exercise. and during that minute im usually setting up for the next exercise, switching weights, moving something, whatever. ive improved some things in todays workouts, just some exercises ive noticed a decent increase in over the past 5 or 6 workouts, so i put the exercise and reps/weight in bold. but i want to say this - im having a problem with squats. i cant do back squats because i dont have a rack or anything, and usually no spotter. so ive been doing front squats. lately i get a pretty bad/annoying pain in my left wrist (like the bottom of it) when i get the bar positioned. it hurts through the entire exercise and its really starting to interfere. its going to suck when i start adding even more weight, but oh well. it cant be nothing serious because my wrist looks fine, who knows.
anyways, i am happy with how todays workout went. i could have done more weight with the SLDL probably but ill try it next time.

comments, suggestions, criticism, ill take anything at this point. just starting and all im completely open to advice and suggestions, love to hear anyones opinion.

thanks

posting my diet here soon..

i smoked some mj with a buddy and got a serious case of the munchies, and hadnt eat for 4 hours so i ate a bit more than i normally would

jokbc52 · 10-17-2007, 07:26 PM

i think i might switch the order of pushups and bench press, Also if you are trying to bulk i would maybe incress the rest time between sets, i dont know what your calories look like but i might add somemore calories...just my two cents

thanks for the suggestions jok. i will switch the order of push ups and bench press next time. will doing that help my bench press or what?
how much rest time in between sets do you think i should try?
and how much rest time in between exercises do you think i should try?

as for the eating im pretty sure i got a reasonable amount of calories, but i cant say that for a fact because i dont keep track of my calories. and the only things i measure out are little things like milled flax seed and wheat germ. everything else i just eat reasonable portions of. i know my post workout shake has about 950 calories alone, so on workout days that accounts for quite a bit of my calorie intake i guess. weighing myself tuesday so ill be able to see if i need to eat a bit more or not.

thanks again for the comments jok, appreciate it

It doesn't look like you get much protein.

It actually doesn't look like much food at all.

its possible yes. my pwo shake has like 68, syntha-6 has 22. thats where some of my protein today came from. then the hard-boiled egg, tilapia fillet, clif builder bar. i actually think i got like 140ish, if not a bit more

that might be..too much?

and i was planning on having ½ cup cottage cheese and a scoop of syntha-6 in water before i went to bed.

I'd have to agree.

I think if you want to get bigger you may want to up your food a little.

Delusional · 10-17-2007, 08:15 PM

damn. really? well on off days id end up eating more food because i wouldnt be having a pwo shake. and truemass, my pwo shake has 68g protein. plus the scoop of syntha-6 i had in my oatmeal was 22g cause thats the only way i can think of to get in some protein for breakfast. i either have oatmeal with 1 scoop syntha-6 and 2tbsp milled flax seed, or a bowl of uncle sams cereal (or some sort of bran flake cereal) with 1 scoop syntha-6 and 2tbsp milled flax seed in the mornings. i like it better than eggs, and thats all i can think of.

so even though i got a lot of protein from shakes, do you think i should still eat more foods with protein along with the shakes?

It might be a good idea. And your saying your PWO is 68 grams of protein and then your adding a scoop of syntha-6 on top of that. That is a waste. I don't think the body can absorb more than 50 g of protein at a time. I'd do the scoop of syntha-6 at another time. You need to spread your protein throughout the day.

vortrit · 10-17-2007, 08:39 PM

Sorry, wait you had the syntha-6 with the oatmeal. There are a lot of other protein sources besides powder. Tuna, etc.

jokbc52 · 10-17-2007, 08:47 PM

real food is always the way to go shakes are great when your in a hurry and dont have time but chicken steak and fish are better.... and on the rest thing i think you might want to go to atleast a minute between sets, if i am reading what you did correctly you did one big super set which is good if you are trying to cut... When i am trying to gain strenght i don't super set much of anything and i have between one and two minutes of rest but then i am also in the gym for an hour and a half....
