GameDayDawg's - Get Big or Die Tryin' - Journal

GameDayDog · 08-01-2005, 10:24 PM

I meant to do thys on July 1st.. but since I myssed it... I'm starting it on August 1st... Plus thys place needs more than 2 workout threads...

I'm 6' and I last weighed in at 186 3/4 pounds... I've been up to 193, but after a nasty recent battle with the flu I dropped 10 pounds...

... I'm a Libra, born October 6th, 1973 - so that puts me at 31 years old... Although I thynk I look and act a lot younger than my age!! .... When I get to 225, I'll cut... but I'm not looking forward to it.. I love my carbs!!

My diet is probably 80% protein, 80% Carbs & 10% Fat... Yeah, I know that's more than 100%... but I give more than 100% in the gym, so why can't I give more than 100% in the kitchen??

I'm currently overseas in the Philippines... Basically having the tyme of my life, I'm on a different time schedule.. so be a little patient when it comes to replies...

As for supplements .... I'm a walking chemistry experiment... There's :

1. Kre-Alkalyn - 1 in the morning, 1 in the evening.
2. DHEA - 100 mg, 1 in the morning.
3. Tribulus - 1250 mg's in the morning, 1250 mg's in the evening.
4. Lysine - 500 mg's in the morning, 500 mg's in the evening.
5. Vitamin C - 1000 mg's in the morning, 1000 mg's in the evening.
6. TKE Joint Boost - 1 in the morning, 1 pre-workout, 1 in the evening.
7. Protein Powder - Whey with Dextrose - In the morning & Pre & Post Workout.

I also have Flaxseed Oil capsules and ZMA but haven't started taking them yet. When I start, I'll be sure to mention it.

I take progress pics every 2 months.. I'm due to take some this month, so I'll have new pics soon... I'll also post my routine later... Ryght now.. I'm going to sleep...

Peace..~G

Figured I'd start off with a little song I wrote about my new lyfestyle and trying to get big... It also goes perfectly with the song - Number One Spot by Ludicris.

*********

Please, don't make a mistake...
I'm on a mission to gain weight..
I'm lyftin heavy with 3 sets of 8...
Tuna, Eggs & Wheat Bread stay on my plate..

People ask - How big you
trying to get??
Don't ask me stupid questions,
you sound lyke an idiot...
For skinny guys lyke me,
too big, there's no such thyng..
Now go away it's rude for me
to talk whyle I'm eating...
lyfting, sleeping, seems lyke
that's all I do...
99% of the public really
don't have a clue...
I gain 5 pounds, they ask...
"You're on the juice, aren't you?"
Nope, just kre-alkalyn
& protein, but thank you!!!

How big do I wanna get??
I guess I'll know when I know...
For now, I just want my
body to grow & grow...
And the process is moving
along a lil too slow...
Styll I wear tanks & sleeveless
shyrts to let the guns show...
I'm one of the guys
that thynk size is good...
I wanna beetlejuiced head,
lyke I was Art Atwood...
I wanna lay down to relax
on a king size bed...
And have no room for my gyrlfriends
when I hit a lat spread...
You'll probably thynk
thys example's kynda syck...
But I want so much mass,
people ask me to undress in public!!

Please, don't make a mistake...

People don't know & understand
what it's lyke
to attend church and pray for
18 pounds overnyght...
At buffets I eat pretty much
everythyng in syght...
If it has protein I don't care,
what it looks or tastes lyke...
Used to complain to management
if there was hair in my food..
But hair's high in protein
so I've changed my attitude..
Staying all natural,
I'm doing thys the hard way...
Eating constantly (constantlay) to
consume enough calories (calorays)...
& protein, I'm broke again,
you know where my dough went...
Magazine ads got me,
Trying every new supplement...
So, how do you know when
you fell into thys mass trap?
You realize you eatin' tuna
whyle takin' a crap!!!

Hey GDD, I'll be following your thread to see if you can get to 225. I'm currently there, trying like hell to hit 235 before I have to seriously cut back due to job constraints.

Cool looking forward to seeing this stuff here as I no longer see this info. I have been refusing to even view bb.com.

Have you guys checked out the referal contest?

GameDayDog · 08-02-2005, 10:28 PM

Since thys is the beginning of my journal... I need to explain my workouts...

I do 3 sets of 8 and I have a Double Day Routine... except for leg day as I've fallen into a groove...

My exercyses look lyke thys..

Back Day A

1. Deadlyftz
2. Hammer Strength High Row
3. Hammer Strength Seated Row
4. 45 Degree Incline Dumbbell Hammer Curls
5. Rear Delt DB Row
6. Seated Reverse Forearm Curls - (Palms down, lift hands upwards)

Back Day B

1. Bent Over Rows
2. Weighted Pullups
3. Seated Cable Pulley Row
4. Reverse Gryp Preacher Curls - (Overhanded to get extra forearm work)
5. Rear Delt DB Row

Chest Day A

1. 30 Degree Incline DB Press
2. Flat DB Press
3. Dumbbell Pullover
4. 30 Degree Incline DB Fly
5. Tricep Pushdowns

Chest Day B

1. EZ Bar Upryght Rows
2. Lying Syde Laterals
3. Weighted Dips
4. Shoulder Press (Machine)
5. Hammer Strength Wide Chest Press
6. Standing Behind the Back Forearm Curls

Legz

1. Leg Extensions
2. Squats
3. Leg Presses
4. Calf Presses

.....

I tend to take 2 minutes between most sets and exercyses with 3:30 between sets on my squats & deadlyfts... I'll take a minute or 1:30, between my warmup sets... Occasionally, I'll do some cardio after a workout, but no to often as I'm a semi-vocalist in a band and get a lot of cardio jumping around (dancing) on stage...

I do 3 sets of 8.. and in most cases if I get 3 sets of 8, I'll raise the weight... All my weights are in kilograms... and I don't count the bar in exercyses lyke squats & deadlyfts... The only thyng lysted in pounds are the dumbbells & the pre-weighted barbells that I use for my Reverse Forearm Curls...

Peace..~G

What better way to start a thread of, than with a leg workout??? Definitely not my best but... I gave it 199%...

Sigh... I managed to sleep all day... I woke up around 2pm and dove back in the bed at 4... I planned on waking up at 6, so I could get my haircut and goto the gym... Yep, I woke up at 6 but went ryght back to sleep... got up at 8 and hit the store and the gym...

Gawd, having a head cold sucks... I could breathe when I left the house.. but at the gym, my left nostril closed up... then it started running... so I wiped it on my sleeve...

I was so drained and exhaused, I only did half of my workout... I thought about skipping my leg workout, but I asked myself.. what's the difference between blasting my quads vs blasting my chest or back??? None.. I'm gonna do my leg workout again, the next tyme I hit the gym... ... Thee Alphaz don't take the easy road.

Leg Day

Start - 8:54 pm
Warmup - 6 minz - 1.81 km

1. Leg Extensions - 40/8, 40/8, 75/8, 75/8, 75/8 - (2:00)
2. Squatz - 50/8, 85/8, 85/8, 85/4+4 - (3:30)

End - 10:00

Notes : Dat's it... I owe myself leg presses & calf presses ... If you'd have seen me crawl from the squat rack after that second set... You may have said a prayer for me... I crawled to the bench, placed my head on my folded arms and breathed deeply to recover... Folkz were asking if I was ok... all I could do was nod... When I'd gotten my breathe & looked at my tymer.. I had 1 minute left before my next set... The whole tyme I was breathing, I told myself I was crazy... Just do some calf presses & go home... All the good comments I'd received about my quadz ran thru my head... I don't need to work thys hard... but when my tymer went off... I looked at the bar... Lead by example... I'm Thee Alpha of Thee Alphaz... I climbed back under the bar... and got 4 reps... then I racked the weight... I didn't even sit down... I hung there with my arms over the bar... I couldn't breathe & I wanted to throw up... If someone had asked me to choose between a painless death & squatting, I would've had to thynk about it.. I looked at the clock.. 9:50 pm ... The employees are cleaning up... I crawl under the bar & get four more reps...

Got Dayummit.. Why did I rack the weight??? Next tyme, it will be myne.. & it will be easy... Next tyme!!

Peace..~G

Title : I think the air need to be cleared.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok, SO you don't care for Fitty and you obviously don't like me.

What I have a serious problem with Dog is your constant open distane for us mods and our decisions.

Quote:

but that thread was deleted... So was the thread where I was nominated to be a mod... You seem to know a lot about the past for someone that's been here a month... Unfortunately, you don't seem to know that Fitty nor anyone else has ever put me "in my place" ... & if I am ever put in my place...

Constant complaining of threads being deleted.

And what......somehow because some newbie members wanted you to become a mod when I was taking a break and Fitty wasn't posting much, that you somehow are the elite of our section.

Get over yourself already !

Ha. Do you really think (or did you) that that is how mods are selected ? You have got to be kidding me. Fitty, I and a bunch of the vets of our section have been here a long F#cking time. We give and have the respect of many people on these forums because of who we are and how many people we have helped, as well as how we work our asses off to keep this forum a nice place to visit for the vast majority.

IS everyone happy ? No, you can't make everyone happy. Is Fitty or I hated by some present or past members ? Of course !

Even things in your sig go to show how you obviously dont' like some mods and their decisions.

What do you feel this is a civil rights fight you are on as a black man again the establishment (us mods)?

Don't even go there, because I am not racest. I do not tollerate racism in any form.

Quit acting like the persecuted black funny man of the forum. You may fool some of the newbie women with that shit, but the vast majority are tired of your antics.

Who you say ? It does not matter who.....trust me...........we get dozens of PM's some days about the crap surrounding you and your constant whining.

You have been a productive member of this forum, but I really wish you would STOP THE SHIT !

If you continue to openly dis Fitty , myself or the other mods either directly or out the side of your mouth.......I can ASSURE you.........if you dislike me NOW......YOU WILL HATE ME....and you will no longer be a member of this forum.

There are other forums where troubled members such as yourself may be happier. I do not know if you are even cabable of comprehending the main message of this PM because you seem to be too wrapped up in you and your persona to do so.

I CAN and WILL PUT YOU IN YOUR F#cking PLACE, both on this forum and in real life if you wish ?

While this PM may seem hostile, I actually send it as a way to avoid what we are heading towards.

Just think about it all.....please.

Getting pissy back and me will only go to make things worse for YOU, that I PROMISE.
