High intensity training log

I haven't seen my dad since a month before I started working out, I'm bigger than he is now, he's coming next week.

Oh that's funny! He's gonna FREAK! Prepare for the "you taking steroids, son?"- type comments.

The perfect response to that, "No, but thanks for noticing."

No he's going to say if you put that much effort into getting a job you would have one by now! I'm totally calling this one, and no, I'm not joking.

 

[Rubes11]

you put on 40lbs that fast damn thats crazy.

 

[ihateschoolmt]

Ya I was just as surprised as everyone else lol.

 

[Rubes11]

any clue how much you want to weight?? or just seeing where it takes you?

 

[ihateschoolmt]

Well, at first I wanted to be 200 but I thought 200 would look bigger than it's going to. I'm thinking at least 210 maybe 220. I do know that I don't want to look like a pro body builder.

 

[Rubes11]

hmmm some of that depends on how tall you are and how your body is. me at 220 i'd look huge because i'm only 5'9ish

 

[ihateschoolmt]

I'm 6'1, and my legs grow faster than the rest of me. I'll have like 17 inch arms at 220.

 

[JerseyDevil]

What bf% are you at right now?

 

[ihateschoolmt]

8%? IDK but I just took that pic of me for my avatar, it's an odd angle for my abs but in my gallery there are other pics from the same day.

 

[Built]

Probably 10-11%, but no higher.

 

[ihateschoolmt]

I did that bio electric impedance test and it said 8.1% but that's not the most accurate thing in the world. I had a caliper test done by someone who knew what they were doing when I was young and they got 8% too, might have added a pound or two of fat along with my 40 pounds of muscle though

lol

My family was fond of saying, "Muscles will never get you money!"

I spent a LOT of hours lifting as a teenager.

Sooooo... what kind of jobs are you interested in? Better get an interview in before your father arrives home! Pre-emptive employment seeking!!!

 

[ihateschoolmt]

I have a computer technology degree, I just graduated last July and I started looking for a job in December. I have an interview on Monday with a small IT company. I was doing work on my own for a while but that's more of a side job that I will keep doing.

Believe me, 11% bodyfat after gaining forty pounds in three months is better results than most guys get on gear.

 

[ihateschoolmt]

If I bought calipers would that be a good way to see what I am?

 

[Built]

Nah. You'll know from your vascularity and your abs.

 

[ihateschoolmt]

Bench 175x5 175x5 165x5 165x4 first time getting 2 sets with 175
DB flies 30x11 30x12 30x11
Military press 90x12 100x6 one of those is a PR which ever is better.
cable push down drop set 65x10 57.5x10 50x10 then another 65x10 57.5x5
EZ curl bar 80x8 80x7

Man I took an extra rest day and this shit is still killin me. I think I'm going to go tomorrow and then start a deload were I just train back and legs for a few work outs. I'm still making progress in bench numbers but I feel close to over training. Besides, I want to be rested for deadlifts next time.

 

[Built]

You push your body HARD - and you know it well. If YOU feel overtrained, you need a day. Better to be 10% undertrained than 1% overtrained.

 

[ihateschoolmt]

Ya I did lol, my arms hurt just typing right now. Ya I think I should just have a few more days off, I got to drive to Durham tomorrow for an interview anyways.

 

[Built]

Your body has been pushed HARD for months on end. Take the days.

 

[PreMier]

Ya it's so weird to be 40 pounds heavier. It just doesn't seem real, it happened so fast I'm just not used to it yet. I'm so used to be the skinniest person anywhere I go and I am actually bigger than some people now. It's so awesome.

i cant wait to be big, so im not a small person wherever i go

 

[ihateschoolmt]

You would be big now if you didn't stop deadlifting for a year.

 

[PreMier]

haha.. its not my fault though! but seriously, id like to look jacked even fully dressed. thats my goal

 

[ihateschoolmt]

You would probably look pretty fucking huge with another 20 pounds on you, are you natural? I bet you can gain muscle easier when you are done with the army.

 

[PreMier]

yep. a lean 210 would be nice, ive been 220 before but was carrying quite a bit of fat.

 

[omerta2010]

haha.. its not my fault though! but seriously, id like to look jacked even fully dressed. thats my goal

Mine to.

 

[ihateschoolmt]

Just to clarify what I'm doing right now, I took today off, deadlifts tomorrow, another rest day then continue block training the way it was before.
