Gotta give ya credit, I would never wear yellow or green. My whole closet is either black or blue. Drives my wife crazy.

Can't edit that post anymore but I actually weigh 196 today so progress pics coming. I know most people say weigh in the morning, but I was 148 at the end of the day when I started, so I still take the highest weight of the day as progress because I started off 148 at my heaviest. Any way you cut it that's 48 pounds gained so far. I know that's kind of a cheating way to take weight, but that's how I have been doing it so I don't want to change it up, just a few pound difference through out the day anyways.
I think it might work pretty good, I have only been lifting for a little over 3 months and at first those HIT workouts were killing me, but lately my back and biceps haven't been so fatigued at the end of a workout, and I think this is the first time I have gotten a shoulder pump in my whole life lol. I was neglecting shoulders a little.

Here's pics at 196.
yeah, i'd do that and then once you've hit a number of exercises you feel is good enough say like 5-6 per bodypart (except bis and calves) you can stick in an additonal set which is the set you perform your intensity tehcnique on which is done with the same weight as your heaviest set, then the week after that you cna add a back-off set to increase volume some more! and then probably start the descent back down to HITSo I should be adding like 1 more back exercise and 1 more shoulder next week? maybe like 2 sets each?
Here is what I ate today, figure I should post this every once in a while.
12pm (that's right I sleep til noon every day) meal 1: 25oz chocolate milk 600 calories
1pm Meal 2: pasta alfredo sauce and a chicken breast ~650 calories
3pm meal 3: pork chops and fried rice with egg and pineapple 700 calories
4pm meal 4: 25oz chocolate milk 600 calories
6pm meal 5: marinated chicken and beef with pasta and olive oil 600 calories
7pm meal 6: more milk 600 calories
930pm meal 7: more milk! 600 calories
11pm meal 8: stuffed shells with ricotta cheese and Italian sausage 1000 calories (I bought this from the store so I'm not approximating this one, everything else I made so it's an educated guess since I don't weigh my food.)
snacks: 2 quarts of strawberries (about 400 calories according to google)a yogurt and some apple juice through out the day. total 800 calories
Puts me at about 6150 calories if I don't eat anything else today, don't know about protein but it's enough.
Here is what I ate today,
[mega amount of food deleted]
I'm still up lol. 9 hours of sleep a day about. I drank some more milk too BTW. I guess milk isn't a meal but any way you look at it, it's 6500+ calories (since I drank more milk)
Whole milk with Hersheys syrup lol I'm so glad I get to gain weight instead of try to loose it.

My lower back was so spent after deads I could barely do good mornings or Romanians.

I know, I know I didn't lock out the 7th one I don't even want to hear it.
Deadlifts 335x6 335x7 PR
that first set pissed me off, I didn't use enough chalk and the bar kept slipping, I had 2 more at least in me oh well I got 7 next time, probably needed to switch it up and do 2 sets anyways.
Good mornings 185x6
Romanian deadlifts 185x7
Leg curls 125x6 110x8 never doing those again
DB farmer walks 80x32 seconds PR
Plate pinches (I use two 35's) 35x7 35x7
Great workout, was happy how strong I felt on deadlifts only got 5 the last two weeks in a row feel like I made up for that this week. My lower back was so spent after deads I could barely do good mornings or Romanians. So I tried leg curls, forgot how bad those suck. Might have to do figure something else out for hams next week.
You mean leg curls causing me discomfort? That's not why I said I wasn't going to do them, they just felt useless lol. I do farmers walks for grip.Ya need to mam up if its causing you discomfort!
and are you doing farmers walks for legs or traps/grip?
Well I have a weird problem were my hands sweat really bad when I'm lifting, If I don't have chalk I can barely hold 225 when my hands start sweating. Chalk would add nothing to my lifts if it wasn't for that. The belt I am pretty much just wearing so people won't come up and tell me I need a belt every 5 minutes, I keep it a little looser and I think I could lift about the same without it, maybe adds 10 pounds to my lifts.How much difference does the chalk and belt make to your lifts, i dont use either?
Congrats on the PR too

Lol ya it could, especially since the rest of me doesn't sweat very easy at all. Belts do have a lot of variables, I think the biggest is how tight you keep it. Mine is only tight if I take a belly full of air so I think it helps a little but it's certainly not moving the weight for me.Your new nickname at this point will be changed to "sweaty palms"
I really think using a belt depends on alot of variables like mechanics, previous injuries, weight being lifted, reps.
