I've kept a journal for the last two years (since I started working out), and a friend of mine turned me on to this site. I figured I'd keep everything on here, and maybe get some input as to what Im doing incorrectly. My biggest problem has been my chest. It just doesn't want to grow. . . . it has somewhat, but not as much as I'd like it to. Time, I need to give it more time. . . .LOL
But a brief history: Two years ago I was 145 lbs, 6'1", and even the smallest breeze would throw me to the ground. . . seriously though, I was thin. Very thin! Had a 32" waist, 9.5" biceps, and 34.5 inch chest. Not a pretty picture to say the least. A good friend asked me to go to the gym with him one day and I went. I was a fish out of water, but I stuck with it. It was slow to say the least. I was 34 years old and benching 65 lbs gave me trouble (when you stop laughing, read on. . . .).
Today, though nowhere near where I want to be, I've added 3 inches to my arms, my waist has stayed about the same, 33 inches, and added 4 inches ot my chest. BUT I'm not where I want to be. My goals haven't been achieved.
So I thought I'd share my daily journal with you, give you the food, workouts, cardio, supplements, and such. I welcome any and all feedback. I'll post pic's in the next few days.
As to drugs, no I don't use them. I've done so much research on them, and I've talked to a ton of people and though I would like to reach my goals quickly, it just isn't worth the risk. Those that use them, more power to ya. I just decided it wasn't for me.
I workout M-T-T-F. I do cardio on W, with one hour of HI aerobics, and jog 5 miles on Sat (at the park with friends). Sunday is my off day. I also work three jobs (one full time and two parttime), so other than when I sleep, I'm on my feet. I workout from 5 to 6:15.
M - 4 chest, 3 triceps, 2 abs
T - Leg day
W - cardio
T - 3 back, 3 shoulder, 2 abs
F - 4 chest, 3 biceps, 2 forearm
(I just started an eight week program with this routine. I'll list the actual exercise on the given days along with weight, sets, and reps.)
Menu: I will list it daily.
I'm getting ready for Pensecola (Memorial Weekend), so I'm currently cutting. Not that I have much definition, but none-the-less, I'm shedding the few extra pounds so I at least look half-ass decent on the beach.
Until tomorrow, have a great one!
