Get big - or die trying!!

HCClubPrez · 02-09-2006, 06:13 PM

Alright - haven't been here too long but wanted to start a log to watch my increases and motivate myself. Looking to bulk for 3-4 months - then cut down on body fat. I started lifting again after a 2 year break - so these are my weights after 2 months of back in the gym...

I won't give a day by day - but will update every week with my weight and current lifts.

Stats
Age - 21
Height - 6'2"
Weight - 240ish
Measurements - will have to get this week at the gym - will update later.

My workouts- Does vary quite a bit but this is the norm.

Monday - Shoulders/Traps
Tuesday - Bi's/Back/Calves
Wendesday - Chest/Tri's
Thursady - Squats/Deads/overall legs
Friday - Off
Saturday - Chest/Tri's/Bi's
Sunday - Squats/Deads/overall legs

These are my max's when I got back into the gym 2 months ago...

1-2-06
(Exercise - weight x reps)
DB Shoulder Press - 50x4
Shrugs - 180x2
Calve Raises - 135x4
DB Curls - 35x5
DB Bent over Row - 60x4
DB Bench press - 60x4
Bench Press - 185x2
Overhead Db Extensions - 60x6
Squats - 185x4
Deads - 200x2

2-9-06
Weights as of last week!!!
(Exercise - weight x reps)
DB Shoulder Press - 80x4
Shrugs - 270x6
Calve Raises - 160x6
DB Curls - 45x6
DB Bent over Row - 90x4
DB Bench Press - 110x4
Bench Press - 260x2
Overhead DB Extensions - 120x6
Squats - 275x4
Deads - 275x4 (No Grip)

So I have made massive progress in the last 2 months. I have noticed a huge difference in size - My arms/back/chest have gotten noticeably larger and I look forward to lifting every day!

Right now I take ON Whey Protien Shakes and Glutamine.

I will report again next week with gains and max's!!

dude you obviously seem to be making serious progress over the last few months...way to go! keep up the fanfreakintastic progress!

any inclination to switch up those leggie workouts to really hit the different muscle groups? ie. squats...lunges and a lighter higher rep hammie exercise like SLDL or laying leg Curls for quad dominant day

and deads plus Leg curls combined with perhaps front squats for the quad accessory on the hip/hammie dominant day? i know everyone is different but i really REALLY love the BGB program! heh!

Thanks for the kind words!! I'm not really a noob in the sense of the word - Like I said I have done quite a bit of lifting before. Although this is the first time back in a long time and the first time i've been going for strictly gaining mass - so I guess I'm kinda a newb.... Either way I am very happy with my progress so far and can only hope the gains continue the way they have been.

I do switch my legs up quite a bit - Ever 2 - 3 weeks I throw in something different and switch them up. Lungs and leg curls are usually incorporated in my "overall leg" days.

I'll get measurements next week and throw up any new numbers I can get.....

Oh, I wasn't calling you a n00b, but rather was just referring to the gains that you can make after some time off.

I know what you mean. I had an accident about 2 years ago and I ended up losing over 60 pounds, but it does come back pretty fast.

Alright - this week went well. Started keeping much better track of my diet with an online journal. Chest day tonight - I plan to start using a strict 5x5 for the next 3 weeks to try and get my bench up more. I'll give a weight run down early next week with any gains!
