nah bro, i live off campus. groceries run me $80 every week and a half. i eat great while i'm at school cuz i can get nothing but BB foods.

when i'm home, i gotta eat whatever mommy gets. and i feel bad eating her outta house and home cuz my dad and my bro eat nearly as much as me.......

ya, i'd say so.

my weight fluctuates everyday. depending on how much water i drink, how much i eat, what time i weight myself....

actually, the 224 was weighted officially @the doctors office, so i'm assuming its correct. today i weighed myself @the school gym, and its an electronic scale, so maybe its off.

 

[PreMier]

Workouts... Meal plans... C'mon Flex UPDATE! Because if you dont the Panthers are sure to rape the Patriots!

 

[Flex]

ha, watch yourself Premo.......

i tried doin that.........writing down everything i ate. but it was waaaay too much of a hassle. it was too overwhelming.

plus, i eat teh same thing EVERYDAY.

so here it is.....

meal 1....4 jumbo egg whites, 2 slices wheat, .5 cup oats, shake (1 cup skim, 23gr whey)

meal 2...1 can tuna, mayo, 2 slices wheat, 1 cup ff cottage cheese w/applesauce

meal 3...pwo shake (46gr whey) and 1 cup cran

meal 4...steak/chix/hamburg, yams or white rice, and a green veggie

meal 5 chix sandwich, wheat bagel, shake

meal 6 shake

Hey Flex, journal is looking good man! Keep up the hard work. I am wondering bro what are your stats? Age, height, weight, etc.

Also, ever consider posting your exercises and weights/sets? Would be nice to see exactly what youre doing. Thanks man.

 

[PreMier]

MonStar-- Why you always wondering what kind of weight people are pushing? You got a complex or something? haha

22yrs old, 5'11"3/4, 220-225 (fluctuates daily)

my split looks like so...
Day
1 Back, forearms, abs
2 Calves, chest, cardio (10 min on the bike is all i can stand)
3 Bi's, Tri's, forearms, abs
4 OFF
5 Calves, Shoulders, Traps, abs
6 Quads, Hams, cardio
7 OFF
repeat

I've been doing Gopro's routine lately, i like it cuz it avoids staleness of doing the same thing over and over. Therefore, its tough to post the weights i use. Week 1 i go heavy, week 2 i go medium and pyramid, and week 3 i go lighter/shock.

I go by the "No-routine" routine, meaning i switch exercize order, reps, sets, rest, shock everything every single workout. Can't let that body adapt....

In the strength dept.? You a powerlifter?

 

[Flex]

Well, strength wise....
i'm better in strength "endurance" than i am in max sets.....

Deadlift: 405x9, 455x5

Bench: 315x3, 350x1, 225x15-20

Squat: 365x8 (w/o weight belt), 405x7 (w/weight belt), 315x15-20

 

[PreMier]

Flex have you eliminated your weight belt totally?
After reading what Vanity and Mudge wrote, mine is gone to the wind...

Nah bro.
i actually never had one to begin with. It was just at my home gym a few weeks ago, some dude wanted to squat with me, and he suggested i use his weight belt. It suprised me how much of a "boost" it gives your squat.

Since then, i don't use one anymore. It's kinda depressing being able to do 405x7 w/ a belt, and w/o one only 365x8

p.s. Thanks Jen

today's weight:221.5 I swear that electronic scale must be wrong! I eat and eat and eat and eat and it doesnt freakin go up haha

 

[PreMier]

Well, i guess its almost good that i put on mass slowly (as strange as that sounds), cuz i believe its lean muscle mass anyways, instead of just stored fat........

 

[Flex]

Fri, jan 30 219.5lb SHIT!!!

weight is going the wrong way.......

 

[PreMier]

Thats no good... I on the other hand am steadily gaining 2Lbs a week. Getting mighty f'king sick of chicken though...

 

[Flex]

no shit bro.

its so frustrating, cuz i eat my ass off all day long................COME ON WEIGHT

 

[Rixmon]

Now I see why you have that superman Icon, you are Buffed man.
Looks like you can do nothing but get stronger reading your journal, Nice freaking work.

 

[M.J.H.]

Damn Flex, still not a bad weight if you're maintaining 220ish. What is your height and bodyfat %? Have you ever, or are you currently on anabolics or prohormones?

 

[Flex]

Ya, i'm maintaining 220ish, but would like it to just keep raising (wouldnt everyone).

I just posted pics for the first time, check 'em out bro. I'm a hair under 6' (i always though i was almost 6'1"), and again about 220ish.

I freakin eat my ass off all day long, but i guess its still not enough...

anyone know how many grams of protein i should be taking in? i've heard 1, 1.5 and 2x your body weight.............anyone know exactly?
