well after about a year of lurking on these forums and losing my motivation, ive decided to start a journal to help keep me on track.
so...hello! I'm rust. I'm 17 years old and have been bodybuilding for about 1 year. I started in September of last year after i started reading the info posted on these forums. At that point in time i weighed approximately 115-120lbs. At almost 5'11 I was VERY skinny and still am. After months of hard work, a few of not so hard, and almost 3-4 months of no lifting at all, I've decided to start again. In the year that i was "lifting" i went from about 115 to about 145, and today I weigh around 140. Even after my gains from last year, I am still skinny and am constantly reminded of it (which pisses me off).
My Split is a little strange but here it is:
Monday: Off
Tuesday: Chest
Wednesday: Back/biceps
Thursday: Off
Friday: Off
Saturday: Shoulders/Triceps
Sunday: Legs
I'm not going to go in much detail as far as my workouts and food, but I will post what I excercises I did and how many sets/reps, and what foods I ate
Chest workout for today:
Flat Bench Press 3x6-8 reps
Incline Bench Press 3x8-12 reps
Dips 2x4-6 reps
(Is this enough exercises/reps? It seemed to work okay when I did a similar routine last time around.)
Meal 1: 2 scoops powder protein shake w/ milk and yogurt
Meal 2: Beef and beans
Meal 3: Two ground beef patties and yogurt
Meal 4: chicken, carrots, and yogurt
PWO: 2 scoops gatorade w/ creatine
1 scoop protein powder w/ water
Meal 5 (coming up): 3 eggs 2 egg whites and 1/2 cup oatmeal+milk
Meal 6 (coming up): 2 scoops protein powder shake w/ strawberries, olive oil etc.
As you can see I need to get better carbs and get rid of that stupid yogurt. I'm planning on getting some more brown rice soon. A lot of people don't recommend drinking milk because of the sugar and carbs, but its never really seemed to put much fat on me so I am going to keep drinking it.
Any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks.
