Daz's first journal
Well, i'm still a newbie at this, but here goes.
Basic info: 17 Years old Around 190-95lbs 6'9 My goals are to: 1. Lose all loose, hanging skin on tummy, arms, and legs. 2. Flatten the stomach down (Hangs out a bit.) 3. Build up muscle all over the body, but especially in arms, chest, and shoulders. 4. Lower body fat level (Haven't got a way to measure my current BFP yet, so I'll post it once I find a way.) I made the decision to live a healthy life style about 3 months ago, and I've come a fair distance since then, considering I was a complete lazy ass who never did anything athletic or physical in his life. When I first started, I could barely press 70lbs (I know. Pathetic.), but now I'm pressing 150, and hope to get to 200 in a few months. I stopped eating junk food right out, and I only eat healthy foods. I keep to my food plan very strictly, and I'll post that in case it's not a good one (I'm sure it has many problems.). When I was younger, around 13, I was a very chubby and short kid. Then the summer I turned 14, I suddenly grew like a giant, and lost a ton of weight. I lost it really quickly though, so I have a lot of loose skin. I've asked several professionals about it, and they say I am stuck with the loose skin for the rest of my life. I refuse to believe this, and I will gain muscle and lose fat until my skin is tight!

Food plan
Ok, so this is the plan I've been following. I never eat anything else besides whats on the list, and I eat the same things each day. On weekends, I swap the grain bars with two bananas, an apple, and two sticks of celery.
Morning- 6:00AM Two bananas One apple Second breakfast- 9:30AM Two Nutry grain bars Lunch-12:20PM One thick cut of chicken (Grilled) One cup of rice One cup of either broccoli/spinach/lettuce After lunch meal- 2:30PM One pear or apple 15 Almonds Workout- 4:30PM Dinner- 5:40PM (Right after workout) One slice of beef One cup of rice One cup of either broccoli/spinach/lettuce So, thats that. Hopefully it isn't TOO bad. ![]() Edit: I take 3 fish oil caps with each meal, 1 century multi-vit every morning, and 1 Choline supplement pill with the multi-vit. I also take 3 zma each night.

Workout plan
I hate the workouts that only focus on one area of the body. I always work the entire body when I go to the gym. I might get the names of some things wrong, so bare with me.
Bench press (Free weights) 4x10 with 30 kg (My gym is a small pussy one, and has pre-set weights on the barbells that only go up to 30kg. I hate it, but I make it up with the dumbbells.) Dumbbell curls 3x10 with 20kg for each dumbbell Squats 4x10 with 30kg (Same barbell.) Dumbbell shoulder press 3x10 with 18kg on each dumbbell Dumbbell bench press 3x10 with 18kg on each dumbbell Dumbbell pullover 3x10 with 18kg Leg press (Johnson machine) 3x10 with 63 kg Bench press (Johnson machine) 3x10 with 63kg Lat Machine pulldown 3x10 with 63kg One arm dumbbell rows 3x10 each arm, with 30kg 15 minute jog I go to gym 3-4 times a week. My plan is gym day, rest day, gym day, rest day, etc..

Considering for protein you have only 1 egg and one slice each of chicken & beef... yeah, up the protein.... At least 1 - 1.5 g per pound lbm
I'm surprised Built hasn't hopped on this journal yet. ![]() |

Damn, you tall.
Also, do you keep track of your macros as you eat? |

Hmm...Ok. What do you think of two scoops of protein powder with water added to second breakfast, and an extra slice of beef for the after dinner meal?

Macro minerals? I don't keep track of them, but I take a multi-vit so I dont really pay attention to it.

New week, time to step it up a bit. I stopped using the barbell. It was so light, and it really pissed me off, so I'm doing everything with the dumbbells now.
1. Stretch + 15 pullups (Warm up) 2. Dumbbell Bench press 4x10 20kg 3. Dumbbell Curls 2x10 20kg (Going to stick with 20kg for another week or so.) 4. Dumbbell Concentration curl 2x10 20kg 5. Dumbbell side bends 3x10 18kg 6. Dumbbell shoulder press 3x10 18kg (Found it was 16kg I was doing before, not 18.) 7. Dumbbell pull-overs 3x10 18kg (Same deal as above.) 8. Dumbbell dead lifts 3x10 26kg 9. Dumbbell Squats 3x10 26kg 10. Dumbbell one arm rows 3x10 30kg (Sticking with this a while. My back feels too weak yet to move up.) 11. Johnson machine Leg extension 3x10 130lbs 12. Johnson Machine Chest press 3x10 150lbs 13. Johnson Machine leg press 3x10 with 160lbs 14. 50 crunches + 15 minute jog 15. Stretch

New week, heavier weights. Decided to up the legs on the machines a little more, instead of the arms, because I felt they were being neglected.
Stretch + 15 Pull-ups Dumbbell Bench press 4x10 20kg Dumbbell Curls 2x10 20kg Dumbbell Concentration curl 2x10 20kg Dumbbell side bends 3x10 22kg Dumbbell shoulder press 3x10 18kg (Shoulders feel weaker than the rest of body. Need to work on this.) Dumbbell pull-overs 3x10 22kg Dumbbell Squats 3x10 26kg Dumbbell one arm rows 3x10 30kg Johnson machine Leg extension 3x10 140lbs Johnson machine leg curls 3x10 130lbs Johnson Machine leg press 3x10 with 170lbs Johnson Machine Chest press 3x10 160lbs 50 crunches + 15 min jog Stretch Notes: Started only doing the curls 2 times a week. Chest feels hard, but is starting to look soft. I dont get it. It has more muscle, but LOOKS soft? Decided to cut out the Dumbbell dead lifts. The form was too hard, and it was working the same muscles as squats. F^&*#$% at photoshop deleted my pics, so I'll upload the old ones along with the new ones at the end of the month. Have a little joint pain at elbows, and wrists. Goes away after a while, but could be cause to worry. I'll take a day off. Shoulder press seems harder to do than anything dealing with other parts of the body. Weak muscle? Or perhaps wrong form.

Feelin pumped this week!
Stretch + 15 Pull-ups Dumbbell Bench press 4x10 24kg Dumbbell Curls 2x10 22kg Dumbbell Concentration curl 2x10 22kg Dumbbell side bends 3x10 28kg Dumbbell shoulder press 3x10 20kg Dumbbell pull-overs 3x10 28kg Dumbbell Squats 3x10 28kg Dumbbell one arm rows 3x10 34kg Johnson machine Leg extension 3x10 180lbs Johnson machine leg curls 3x10 160lbs Johnson Machine leg press 3x10 with 200lbs 60 crunches + 15 min jog Notes: Feeling FANTASTIC this week! Have tons of energy, and lifting heavier. Started working out only on Mon, wed, and sat. Bicep curls are on wed and sat. Skin is really tightening up. When lying down, tummy is flat, and while standing, is almost flat. Chest stopped looking soft. Can actually flex each side now. Never thought I'd see myself doing that. Had a bit of a shoulder problem today. Got it when I woke up. Probably slept on it wrong. Only hurts in a specific position. Lifting didn't effect it at all, and it is already clearing up. Took out the machine chest press. Felt like I was overdoing it.

Ok, I know I said that I hated split workouts, but I've been spending far too much time in the gym for it to be healthy, so I had to spread my workout up a bit. Here's what I have so far.
Monday: Chest/ legs/ shoulders/ Abdominals/ Back /cardio Dumbbell Bench press 3x10 Johnson machine Leg extension 3x10 Johnson Machine leg press 3x10 Dumbbell Single Leg Calf Raise 2x10 Dumbbell shoulder press 3x10 Dumbbell Shrugs 3x10 Dumbbell side bends 3x10 Dumbbell one arm rows 3x10 15 min jog + 60 crunches + 15 pull ups Tuesday: None Wednesday: Chest /arms/ abdominals/ back/ cardio Dumbbell Bench press 3x10 Dumbbell Curls 2x10 Hammer curls 2x10 Dumbbell pull-over’s 3x10 Dumbbell side bends 3x10 Dumbbell one arm rows 3x10 15 min jog + 60 crunches + 15 pull ups Thursday: None Friday: Cardio/ shoulders/ back Dumbbell shoulder press 3x10 Dumbbell Shrugs 3x10 Dumbbell one arm rows 3x10 30 min jog+60 crunches+ 15 pull ups Sat: Chest/ arms/ abdominals/ Legs Dumbbell Bench press 3x10 Dumbbell Curls 2x10 Hammer curls 2x10 Dumbbell pull-over’s 3x10 Dumbbell side bends 3x10 Johnson machine Leg extension 3x10 Johnson Machine leg press 3x10 Dumbbell Single Leg Calf Raise 2x10 15 min jog+60 crunches+ 15 pull ups Sun: None Note: I stopped doing dumbbell squats. My arms cant hold the weights at that angle for such a long time, and it caused my form to turn to shit, which started to hurt my knees.

Ah fuck, I just learned what you meant, digital. Newbies mistake..
![]() Here are my macros. Protein: 203.8g (35%) Carbs: 236.1g (41%) Fat: 61.1g (24%) Total: 2,283 calories I just used the preset stuff on fitday, so it may be higher or lower, but that's pretty much it.
