datruodb · 10-10-2005, 12:37 PM

Hey everyone I am starting a new log from now untill Jan for putting on as much size as I can. I am a very hard gainer putting on maybe 10lbs a year so we will see how this goes. Here are some pictures to start things out I will have measurements up soon.

Looking good man.

We'll be on this journey together! Glad to see you're doing a log too.
This will be good motivation for us all!

Come on 200!

Thank you...I have to give credit where it is due and that is Michael (EME) He has given me more knowledge than I have ever expected. You are lucky to be so ahead of the game already. When I was your age I could only bench press 65lbs and weighed like 120. The end of my freshman year I could bench 135lbs. I progressed very slow, because I did not know the impotance of diet. I really had no concept of proper diet until just a few years ago. Currently my life consists of 40 hours of work 18 hours a semester of school, and my training. Those who say they do not have the time are full of it. I workout 4 or 5 times per week.If you have any questions hit me up.

day 1 Back: Pull-ups 60 reps 1st set of 25 reps
T-bar rows 3-4 sets of 10-12
low rows 2 sets of 10
d-bell pull-overs 2 sets of 12

day 2 chest: 4 sets of 10 flat press
4 sets of 10 incline press
3 supersets of 12 cable crossover

day 3 Legs: 10 sets of squats with some leg presses with heels only on sled for hams
1 set of 100 reps on leg extensions to warmup
superset donkey and standing for my calvs for about 5 minutes

day 4 shoulders: 0 overhead presses (injured shoulder)
4 sets front
4 sets side
4 sets rear all with d-bell's extreme control and form for all
(no throwing weights around)
run the rack for shrugs 150's 140's 130's etc......

ABS almost every day (thanks Michael) :devilwhip

I'm gonna cut now and then start my fyrst ever prohormone cycle... because hell... I just wanna see what results I get from the stuff... Otherwyse, I'd be ryght there trying to keep up with you guys on the way to 200... which I just can't seem to break 195...

datruodb · 10-14-2005, 06:22 PM

Did my 10 set squat workout lastnight....Legs afterward were 1.5 inches larger in size....Gotta love that pump!!! If i could only find a way to keep that pump..humn......

datruodb · 10-15-2005, 06:46 PM

Looking good man! :nosthumbs Your friend is scary looking. :scared1: And I don't think 10lbs a year is a hard gainer I think that's pretty awesome for someone with mature muscle. 5 years at 10lbs and your 50lbs bigger. That's a HUGE change. I'm pretty happy if I can add 5lbs of quality muscle a year.

datruodb · 10-17-2005, 06:28 PM

thanks man...yeah my boy is 6"4 270!!!! He just makes me look like a fool when we go out...I still have not been able to break the 200lb well that is only because my legs r like toothpicks! HAHA i am working on that though...

datruodb · 10-18-2005, 05:58 PM

Did my 10 set squat workout AGAIN lastnight...I also did some leg extensions and some leg curls afterward..I warmed my legs up with 1x100 with 30lbs on extensions. I did 3 sets @225 on squat 30 second breaks to finish my warmup...If my legs don't grow from this crap I will just give up!

datruodb · 10-19-2005, 03:42 PM

1/4 inch bigger on my legs already. I have like 6 new veins coming in already...I measured the same spot trust me....After I measured it I did it again 3 times over.

**EME** · 10-19-2005, 03:49 PM

Sweet! I knew the 10 set routine would kick ass!

( my next measurement isn't until the 1st, but hopefully I'll have similar results )

Keep it up man!

datruodb · 10-19-2005, 03:51 PM

I do not have the soreness that I think I should have though! Is that okay?? My glutes feel it more than anything, and trust me they do not need to be any bigger...

**EME** · 10-19-2005, 03:53 PM

Man, if you're growing, it's OK.

Some people just recover quicker than others. As long as those measurements keep going up, and you are looking better... keep with it! :bigthumbu
