Striving for Elusive Lean Gains (LG Mass)

Took in 3100 cals yesterday, Fat/Carb/Prot:24/35/41.
No bloated feelins thus far.

I'm having a nice breakfast shake right now. 24oz milk, scoop of Milk Protein Isolate, and a cup of oats :)

I'm going to try to go for about 2700-2800 calories for low activity days and about 3000-3200 for high activity days.

Going to start reading on GoPro's workouts now :)
 
I have noticed vastly increased vascularity over the past few days over my upper chest, neck, and upper arms. Not sure what is causing it but it certainly looks interesting.

Workout tomorrow morning, bed time :D
 
One Tough Workout: :D

Tricep Pushdowns (done with Rope attachment): 120 3x8
CG Seated Row: 120x6,130x6 *
Dips: 12,12,8 (So much energy here!!)
Lat Pulldowns: 150 3x7
Military Press: 85 6,6,5 (concentrating on form)
CG Bench: 85 3x8 (concentrating on form)
Chins: 6,5,5
Upright Row:65 1st set: 9, 2nd set: 8 *
Skullcrushers:55 2x6 *

* = new exercises that I am trying to get acquainted with. I'll be starting GoPro's P/RR/S program next week.

Felt good overall. I saw a friend of mine that I hadn't seen for about 4 months last night who noted that I looked a good amount bigger and asked if I'd been working out. :)
 
Looks like your doing great buddy, just finished your journal. Cool that your moving to Arlington, that's where I am :thumbs: Why are you moving here?

Good luck with P/RR/S, if you have any questions there are plenty of people to ask including myself. So do you recomment the LG Mass?
 
I do.

I want some more for pre and post training meals.

I'm starting a network security job in DC at the end of the summer, so I've got to get a place :)

I'm looking at some places in north Arlington but most are a bit too expensive. It seems very tough to get a place that's walking distance to the metro (subway), a decent place, and affordable.

I'm going to try to use GoPro's routine pretty strictly except that I don't think I'll be able to do calf raises or leg press in the next month or so. I am still recovering from a few injuries which get very touchy when I do those exercises. Squats and DLs are fine though, go figure....

I recommend LG Mass as a good supplement that does work, but it really depends on your budget. It definitely does help with the lean bulk but it is damn expensive for what it does.

I would say buy two jugs, try it out, and see if you like it.

What company? I work in the Security field for Lockheed Martin. Yeah, it's expensive around here. My wife and I have an apartment in Arlington, 1 bedroom at $1,100 a month :rolleyes:
 
First day of P/RR/S!

Power - Leg workout:

Squats: 155x6,185x5,205x5
Ankle felt bad so I stopped with one set at 205. Legs felt fine otherwise. Damn joints and feet, I hate them!

Leg press is horrible for my feet, I'm just skipping that part of the Power area

Single Leg Extension: 90x6x3 sets
I tried to do the exercises from memory...supposed to just do 2 sets...
Also noticed my left leg is much stronger than right.

Lying Leg Curl: 65x6x3
Felt the difference in strength in this as well.

SLDL: 105x2x6
Gym closing in 5 minutes message came up when I was walking over to do this so I had to do it quickly.

Notes:

Felt very good except for my ankle with the squats. I don't think I challenged my legs a ton, but it is a good start. I don't want any more fun with plantar fasciatis in my feet :mad:

Workout length: 25 minutes
 
Nice w/o, sorry about the ankle though that sucks. Are you doing anything for it?
 
Muscle Gelz Transdermals
IronMag Labs Prohormones
Iced it for about 20 minutes last night. I've got some ibuprofen left over, but thankfully it's not hurting at all this morning.

My shins, feet, and ankles just have a lot of aches and pains whenever I stress them hard through workouts or exercise like basketball.
 
Found an apartment in Ballston (area in Arlington)! 3br townhome that's about a 5-8 minute walk from the Ballston metro and a bit closer to the Ballston Gold's Gym. Good location and pretty nice place overall, decent price.

Applied for the place. Now I have to wait for them to check my credit (and that of the other roommates) before they approve or deny the application.
 
Awesome buddy! Do you mind if I ask how much? I go to Ballston's Gym, awesome women there :grin:

It's $2075 in Ballston Park. Only one parking space is included in the deal, so that'll probably tack on another $80 ($40/each for additional permits).

When we were in the rental office filling out the lease application, another group of three people came in looking for a 3br place, while we'd just taken the only one available. I was damn happy we got there early that day. :laugh:

Cool , another prrs'er :thumb: Good luck and nice first wo :rocker:

Thanks man! I think it's a really good program. I just have to learn how to do some new exercises for it :D
 
Power - Arms:

Barbell Curl: 2x6x75
Preacher Curl: 2x6x80

I tried upping the weights on both of these...85 for BB and PrC however I had significant wrist pain with that. Hopefully that won't be an issue in the future.

Hammer Curl: 2x4x30
CG Bench: 3x6x100
Skull Crushers: 2x6x65

Single Dumbell Extensions: 2x6x15
Right shoulder was in a bit of pain for this, so I didn't want to aggravate it.

Notes:

Arms felt very good overall with the except of some wrist and shoulder pain as noted. I'm really liking this so far! :rocker:

Workout length: 45 minutes

Nice w/o. You might want to switch to EZ Bar curl rather than BB if your having some issues. Those problems quickly esculate to much larger problems! Your putting up some nice weight buddy!

That's a good idea. I'll do that next time I do the BB curl. I've been doing preachers with an EZ bar already. The pain with that was less than that when using a regular barbell.

I'm happy with the progression of weights on most exercises. I don't think I'm lifting much, but I figure that I should be putting up a good amount by the end of the summer. I have to keep driving myself to improve. :D

Power - Chest/Abs:

WM indicates Warmup set
BW indicates Body Weight

DB Bench Press:
WM-35sx6
WM-45sx8
50s-4,6,5
I lost control of the left DB on the first set, strength was still there, not stability.

Incline Bench Press:
95x6
100x6
105x4

Weighted Dips:
WM-BW+10x6
WM-BW+15x6
2xBW+25x6

Ab Pulldowns:
2x130x6
130x10

Decline Crunches:
BW+10x20

Notes:
I think DB Bench will go up once I get more used to the exercise. It's extremely awkward.

I felt great on weighted dips. Very good exercise :D

Workout length: 60 minutes
 
Nutrition Update

I've upped my calorie intake to about 3300-3500 calories per day, depending on whether or not it is a workout day (if so, then about 3500).

Weight Update
170 in the morning.
~15% BF

I think my emphasis on relatively low rep ranges previously was a large reason why I'm pretty much at the same size as at the start of this journal, but for some exercises I'm lifting a significant amount more.

P/RR/S Strategy

I'm going to alter my strategy in the next P/RR/S set to be RR/P/RR/S in order to promote growth.

LG Mass Info

I will not continue this after my current supply runs out. Though I am happy with it for the most part, It is simply too expensive for my budget.

Great w/o :thumbs: Anything DB like that takes some getting used to, but once you do it'll shoot up. Still, 50 is a great weight! So when are you moving again, I forgot?
 
Thanks rocco! It's harder for me to get the DBs into position than the motion of the exercise.

The lease starts mid-June. It looks like I'll be moving in the end of the month with one of the guys moving in right when the lease starts.
 
Nice wo :thumb:

You should be able to go straight to the working sets on the weighted dips. The db bench and incline bench work should have you warmed up already. You probably could of done 40-45 lbs :rocker:
 
I had no idea how much I could do with weighted dips. I've never done them before.

I know I could have done 35 and 40-45 could be possible.

Thanks for the tip. We'll find out in a few weeks if I can do the 45 (that'll be a nice incremental goal). :D
