Ripped

[Twin Peak]

Having a 6 is nearly impossible for me, keeping it IS impossible. So my worries aren't the same as yours.

After labor day I'll start a weight gain and post my diet in a new journal -- since they'll be new goals.

But the macros will look something like this:
Protein: 300g
Fat: 50-75g
Carbs: 75-150g

with the numbers fluctuating day by day.

My goal is to gain 15 pounds in 6 months, 10 lean, 5 fat!

Don't feel bad, TP... fade complains about the same thing

 

[Twin Peak]

I know, the guys never get the attention. Unless we post pics. Oh well.

 

[naturaltan]

Maybe I'll do something like you and try to gain weight over the winter when I don't have to look my stunning chisled self (wow, I can't believe I wrote such jumble).

 

[Miss LeDix]

Um, hi.

 

[Twin Peak]

Hi! See, told ya it was quiet around here.

Had a good leg workout today! In fact, I have had good workouts ever since I complained about being stale! I am right at my all time high in strength.

Hopefully, the next gain cycle (Sept - Feb) will get me well into my all time highs. New journal soon!

Did arms this morning and I tried something new. For bis I did 10 sets od straight bar curls, that's it. I picked a weight and used that for each set. I did the bar plus plates (135) and the reps looked like this:
8
8
8
7
6
6
6
6
5
5

No forced reps but the last rep with each set needed a bit of a lean. Good pump, wonder if I'll be sore.

Tris was squeezed into a 25 minute time frame so I did a bunch of stuff with a lot of jumping around and supersets.

I finished with dips which looked like this:
Bodyweight plus 135 pounds -- 5 reps (tough!)
Bodyweight plus 90 pounds -- 10 reps
Drop set to BW only -- 10 reps.

This polished 'em off nicely!

One more week and then I OFFICIALLY start my bulk cycle (and new journal).

 

[Miss LeDix]

Hi TP! I wonder why there is no activity in this journal, it's a real shame.

So, I guess you never use the assisted dip machine, ey?

Hope you are very sore tomorrow! And looking forward to a new journal next week.

 

[nikegurl]

ooohhhh.....TP I hope you don't get that "can't straighten my elbows" hurt from that bicep workout!

know what? ever since you started the leg challenge idea ALL of my workouts have been much better. so you helped more than just you out of the "stale workout" problem.

now - did someone say something about more pictures? just kidding. i swear! i'm not going to start that trouble again. (much)

 

[Miss LeDix]

NG, now that two of us have replied in his journal...he doesn't even reply to our replies! Wassup with dat????

 

[nikegurl]

craziness! we lavish him with attention and.....where'd he go?

lol

 

[Twin Peak]

WOW visitors, wonder how that happened, hey sis???

"Assisted" dip machine -- nope! But I used the dip machine two weeks ago with 360 pounds.

NG -- I hope I DO get that -- for some reaons I haven't been getting sore lately!

More pics....well you have the cuttin ones so maybe I'll do some bulk ones after I am finished if I don't get too fat!

Otherwise you'll have to wait for next summer!

Glad the idea has spurred others on as well!

 

[Twin Peak]

Hey I was typing while you wrote that!!!! Not fair!

 

[butterfly]

Hey TP

Where can I get a list of shows playing on Broadway???

 

[Twin Peak]

Good question, I don't know. What are you thinking of seeing?

 

[butterfly]

I don't know. I just thought it would be fun to take a 3-day weekend and go see NYC and a play/musical. I went to Manhattan once when I was 17 for a modeling gig but I didn't get to see everything I wanted.

 

[butterfly]

Found it... http://www.broadway.com

 

[Adidas]

Hey TP,

This is my first visit to your journal. Nice place to visit...I will be sure to pop in again

 

[Twin Peak]

Oh cool a new visitor! Hey, did Miss L put you up to this???? Just kidding, thanks for stopping by!

Well, no workout today, had to get to the office early cuz I'll be out all day. Have a good weekend all!

 

[Twin Peak]

Since I now have SOME vivistors ON OCCASSION, I'll post this mornings workout.

I thinkI mentioned last week that I may do this, but this week is my last before my official bulk program. So this week I am going to do a take off of the leg workout and do 100 reps. Today was chest and shoulders and when you compare the weights you will see just how wussy my legs are right now!

BY the way, my whole upper body is already sore. Oh yeah, and that bi workout last thursday....kicked....my...butt!!! So sore the following two days. So here goes:

For chest, I did flat bench (normally I focus on inclines:

The weight -- 225 (yes the same I was squating with!)

Set -- Reps:
25 (nice! This is gonna be easy!)
18 (holy this got heavy!)
15 (Uh oh!)
13 (...)
11 (we will get there)
9 (what a pump....and ouch!)
9 (last one needed a bit of help with)

Then I polished chest of with 3 sets of crossovers from the low pulley to hit the upper chest.

Shoulders -- Military Press with Plates -- 135

20
20
15
15
12
10
8

Just over 100 reps!

Then I did some rear delts! Tough workout!!!

 

[kuso]

I don`t think your legs seem all that weak....just your upper body is fucking STRONG!!!

Great workout!

 

[Twin Peak]

Thanks Kus, but its all relative right!

Thats why I am focusing on legs now! I used to be able to squat 4 and 5 plates for reps....it'll get there....eventually! I expect that since they have some much room for improvement they will catch up....the upper body is near all time high in terms of strength.

 

[Adidas]

Morning TP. My second visit to your journal...what a workout! You better post some good stuff with these random visitors popping in

 

[kuso]

D-cup....if you have already been squatting those weights before I`m sure you`ll get back to them in no time

 

[Twin Peak]

Thats that plan Kus!

Hey adidas ...wow two visits! What do I need to do to keep you coming for more??? If you haven't been following regularly, today and this week ARE NOT my normal workouts....just breaking things up a bit!

Miss L promised to stop by but no sign....

And FG NEVER stops by, unless I post pics!

You guy`s are all just a bunch of journal whore`s You gotta get out every now and then

 

[naturaltan]

Morning TP ...

 

[Adidas]

Kuso ..now don't start that again.

TP - I'll be stopping in on a regular basis to check in. How long will your "official bulk program" be?

 

[Miss LeDix]

I'm am here, but busy at work. Workout looks good TP!

 

[Twin Peak]

HOLY CRAP!!!! Look at all this action!

Sup, NT? How are things? A-OK here, but I do need to get to work!

Adidas, my bulk will officially start next week.....which basically means, I am adding celltech back in to my diet and I'll otherwise be eating a bit more. I am looking to add 20 pounds, 15 LBM and 5 fat over the next 6 months then I'll start cutting for a show.
