ProDJ26's Workout Log

[ProDJ26]

Here we are a year later still haven't reached my goal but my persistence and dedication will pay off. I'll start by saying yesterday's eating was horrible 3600 cals total. For me that's horrible. I'm looking to put as much mass as possible this summer hopefully I'll go from 160 to 175-180ish
atu size of 5'8 that'll be a good fit.

I'm postin my diet/maxes by this weekend

Getting back on Milk again tomorrow since my body finally started reacting to the milk. I drunk it for at least 2 weeks straight Full gallon 2%. Then I switched to whole. Thats when I started having an issue but I can handle it. Managed to get a half gallon of water which is gonna be bumped up to a full gallon. I can handle a full gallon water + Milk but I had to ease myself into it.
The only weakness I have that I can see is the lack of sleep and no multi's. Ive been better with the sleep as of late. Usually I'll Sleep right after Meal 2 and again after Meal 4. On the Workout Days I'll drink the 4 cups Milk with 1 scoop whey for post workout. Sometimes I'll have one cheat meal during the day just to make myself feel sane lol. I really need new ways for chicken breast since I'm starting to hate it. Thoughts?

If anything I want to enjoy eating since this seems so boring

Heres an update guys:

Squats 3x5 225lbs
Bench 3x5 160lbs
Deadlift 1x5 275lbs
Dips 2 sets of 12

First off anybody here who followed my progress before knows that
1) I eat whole eggs whether scrambled, hard boiled even RAW
2) My squats are always ATG

Very good workout with good form on all the lifts. Actually thinking about paying sombody to record the lifts. Really good time squatting today since this HB7 red-head ask me if sombody was using the empty squat rack next to me. Then right when I'm warming up she asked me ifI needed a spot. I told her no and I'm not giving her one either. Upset at my bench it should be higher. Deads were exhausting but I don't hate them like I use to. For Dips I think its time for me to get a belt so I can attach the weight to it. The red-headed HB7 had very nice form by the way...

Recording your form so you can review it later is one of the best things you can do, I do it all the time now. You don't have to pay someone, just set up your camera and hit record right before you start your set.

Do you have access to a weight vest? I much prefer a vest over a belt, belts are a pain in the ass to get on and off and while you're doing the exercise you have all this weight swinging right next to your nuts

 

[ProDJ26]

Todays workout:

Squats 3x5 230lbs
Military Press 3x5 105lbs
Barbell Row 3x5 115lbs
Chinups 1st set was 12 reps
2nd set was 6 reps

I really had to talk myself into going to the gym today just glad I made it. Legs are stll kind of sore from previous workout but nothing major. Struggled with the military press so I'm going to use the same weight. Luckily my strength is still around.

Kerpal I don't have a weight vest but personally I like the belts better. It just feels better seeing weight added over peroids of time.

I noticed you're working out with Rippetoe's, how's that working out for you? I love it.

 

[ProDJ26]

Don't worry I didnt give up but I did missed the update for
June 21st:

Squats 235lbs 3x5
Bench 160lbs 3x5
Deadlifts 275lbs 1x5
Dips 2x12

Upset that this was the first day of not eating enough (about 2600 cals) and it showed in the gym. Forgot my wallet at home and since I took public transit I had to workout and be ddone in literally 30mins. I didnt even realise that my Bench is so weak and my deadlift I didnt increase the weight. One issue that I'm having is the poundages of the squats 3 times a week. But I guess I'm gonna suck it up because this time I'm hitting my goal. That inlcluded the warmup sets. I was exhausted got home only to find out that I left the wallet on the bus so I had to go get it (Luckily I learned my lesson from before and didnt carry too much money on me. Got the wallet back no big deal. I'll make another update tomorrow.

Kiko-

I noticed you're working out with Rippetoe's, how's that working out for you? I love it.

Personally its my favorite program to run on. I've gotten great results from it but I seemed to never be able to keep the weight on. So I'm making small tweaks in my diet and going for POWER foods that stick to me (Mash Potatoes, Milk,etc) I'd definately recommend it for those who are brand new or getting back into the swing of things.

Great diet... You can put on some serious meat if you can consistently eat like that! However, I don't think training w/ a abbreviated program like you're doing is gonna be the right type of stimulus if you wanna put on lots of mass. You need to do more volume and mix it in with your existing compound lifts.

Trust me on this. I'm your height, but around 187... My max DL is 475, w/ a max squat of around 360. I'm routinely doing pull ups for reps w/ 90 lbs around my waist and dips w/ 115 lbs. I was focusing more on a strength base/abbreviated program as you are prior to making the switch to bodybuilding... I'm still lifting heavy once in a while, but my focussing right now is strictly hypertrophy, so I'm following a much higher volume program.

Not sure if you'll get results from going higher volume... I'm just telling you what's working for me.
