Good job!

My no.2 is on the way!

 

[I-tallionStallion]

good progress man, your frame seems to have gotten way bigger since that photo of you at 176lbs!! you still making gains?

btw do you cycle your creatine?

yes, i cycle every two months.

I'm a lot bigger. My clothes don't even fit me anymore, which sucks lol. I haven't been 176 since like October. Just go back over my last month. I've been making great gains But its the help and support of everyone on here, friends, family, God, and my will to get stronger. I can't even tell you how excited I am about this whole thing. It's just one day at a time.

Quag - No 1 and 2 won't be here for another week or so

Monday -

Squat 1x3 - 315 lbs PR - Very hard...probably should have done a lower weight as last rep was just barely beyond parallel - i will see how these are next time

Leg Press 1x15 - 360 - Haven't done these in a while, took an easy on them to see how they felt, I used to overdo them in my old routine, and you aren't suppose to overdo in westside unless its a max

BB Row - 5x3 - 180 lbs PR

Reverse Hyper Extentions - 3x8 PR - wow...very hard haha

Good day, simple as that

*Also I am now backpacking 25lbs...good stuff

 

[JohnnyIrish]

Good work bro, your well on your way to becoming a monster!

Good work bro, your well on your way to becoming a monster!

Thanks Johnny you keep PRing like this and this state won't be big enough for the two of us! haha

Wednesday: Another good day!

Spread Eagle Situps 3x8 - 120 lbs PR
- Will increase next week

DB Press (paused at bottom 1 second) 2x5 - 70 lbs PR

WG Bench 3x10 (light) - PR 95 lbs

Standing Military Press - 3x5 - 120 lbs PR Pretty tough, but I'm sure I can increase it next week

I was happy to see my military press go up, last time I could only get 5 reps of 120 lbs for just one set, this time i had it for 3 sets of 5. Noticeable improvement definitely. I really want 135 lbs! Bah maybe in 3-4 weeks

SLDL- 2x6 - 275 lbs PR

Wasn't sure how heavy I could go...probably should have gone a bit heavier on these but I definitely felt it after I was done...heh anyone know the percentage compared to normal deads? *points in Quag's direction*

Low Pull Through 3x8- 150 lbs PR

Lat Pulldown 5x3 - 150 lbs PR

Barbell Shrugs 3x10 - 135 lbs PR - I've never done these before so I really wasn't sure how much I should do. It felt pretty good, but i probably could have done more for sure.

Good day...some new things but all in all I felt pretty good about my workout. I just have to get a grip on this one when it comes up in a week and a half.

Good looking day! Is this program one written by Effort himself?

I don't know what percetage a SLDL to DL would be...although from the numbers I/you do and from what I remember MM doing, we would all be roughly at a similar percentage...

Keep it up!

Okay good, I figure I'll start around there for the SLDL's...haha why did they ban MM? Other than the fact he was annoying as fvck sometimes lol Btw yeah EFFORT wrote it for me, at the end of this (5 weeks) I am taking a week off for vacation though heh...it will be nice.

OKAY....so like an idiot I was sleeping over my gf's last night and we did wayyyyyy to much romping. And she woke me up an hour early for more thumping and I was pretty tired today. I thought my results were going to be worse in the gym but were okay. Some good things happened.

Incline Bench 2x5 - 165 lbs - Been awhile since I've done these, It isn't a max effort exercise so I kept them hard but not too crazy. I felt strong on these for sure. So I have a feeling the last six weeks have really been working me good. I remember I struggled intensely on 170 lbs barely getting any reps.

Flat DB Bench 3x8 - 65 lbs - PR I should have done 70 but i was worried that there were too many reps and I wouldn't have been able to handle it.

Reverse Grip Flat BB Bench - PR 3x10 -115 lbs Wow, this was one awkward exercise. Hurt my wrists a bit. But for the most part medium difficulty

Lat Raises - light weight 2x20 PR - 10 lbs - I just worked on perfect form...man these were a b1tch!

Overall all another productive day. The only thing I am a little pissed off with is the fact that I've been really busy and I only walked 4 days out of the 7 last week in the morning. I've got to make more of an effort this week and stop horsing around.

Btw, tomorrow is 30 lb backpack...starting to get a bit heavy

 

[Quagmire911]

I wouldn't worry about it, the only cardio I get apart from that s***** job is running for trains and doing HIIT once a week...I should be ashamed (And the girl of course, but that is extra-curricular )

Reverse grip flat! For the tri's right? This could solve my dilema...I can't get skulls to work so it is time I did something else-could be the ticket.

Closed the No.2 yet ? Heh, I have been calling my bro a little boy all week, he can only rep the No.1 as well Of course you can use your mighty 400+ dead against me!

 

[JohnnyIrish]

Hmm.. I remember reading an article somewhere that having sex increases ones testosterone. Maybe that helped your workout/ helped make up for some sleep loss.

So your backpack is 30lbs now.. do/will you also add in arm/ankle weights too? That would that be crazy.. (reminds me of dragon ball z).

lol, I reckon bodybuilding will be at its height of overanalysis when people start posting on forums asking what the optimal number of orgasms is per day for optimal muscle growth

"no sex tonight darling...gotta get these guns up to 17"

Quag - Girls are definitely extra-curricular haha... As for the reverse grip, yeah they really work the tricepts and are great for the front deltoids and upper part of the Pectoralis major...but an awkward exercise no less and almost impossible to do by yourself, you def need a liftoff...and I know you and spotters haha

No, I haven't closed it yet so shutup :cuss: lmao I'm repping the No.1 at the moment.

Johnny - As for sex helping...maybe, I've never noticed a difference though. Yes, that was why i first did the backpacking with weight. Fvckin' Dragonball Z I love that show. It's funny, when i take off the backpack, I feel a hundred times lighter...reminds me when Goku and Piccolo fight Raditz everytime. Too bad in real life they lack gravity chambers to train in...that would be cool. I think the ankle and wrist weights could be a waste of time, I don't really see the need for them and they always look girly.

For the record, 4.25 is a pretty good amount 24 hours before a workout

 

[Kerpal]

That's funny, I saw some guys doing reverse-grip bench press just a couple days ago and wondered what the hell they were doing.

 

[Quagmire911]

I will try out the reverse grip, I think it may depend on the bench as to whether you need a lift off.

I use a ghetto setup in my gym to bench that is a million times better than the "proper" setup, the J hooks are terrible on the thing. I actually tried out reverse grip one day when I was messing around, probably on a deload, and it was alright at lighter weights. Guess I will see...

Monday -

Squat 1x3 - 320 lbs PR - oh man...this is getting heavy lol almost lost it on the last rep on the way up.

Leg Press 1x15 - 390 PR - I would love to leg press 400 lbs for 15 reps..that would be awesome

BB Row - 5x3 - 185 lbs PR i'll def hit 190 next week

Reverse Hyper Extentions - 3x8 - getting easier

Good day...I want to not a couple things also

After i weighed in the last couple days, i've been consistently hitting 210 lbs so I've had some muscle gain as my waist hasn't gotten any bigger. My scale has a BF calculator and it said 18.2% (which was higher than I orginally thought but does make sense) Not sure If I am losing body fat fast enough, so I'm going over it with EFFORT if I will stick to the diet that I have almost been perfectly following

 

[JohnnyIrish]

Sweet numbers Out of curiosity how many calories are you eating a day?

 

[I-tallionStallion]

roughly 5000 calories probably a little more and about 500 grams protein

Fat and carbs I've never calculated...fat is high though (six tablespoons of olive oil def help), carbs a little lower as my only sources are 12 ounces of brown rice and 4 bananas and the tiny bit of dressing on my 3 salads
