As you can tell, I'm a pretty scrawny little guy. I don't have any measurements yet, and I'm a little disappointed in myself that I still have not as of yet. I am satisfied with the gains that I am making, although I know I can do better. I do not see the results as easily myself nor to the people who I see/work with nearly every day. However my sister has made the comment that she can definetely see my arms getting bigger. When I visit family/friends that I have not seen in a while, I will get a better impression from them. I have taken pics starting from week 1 and I will post them later.

This is the first time in my life that I have stayed disciplined in my exercise and my diet. I've pretty much lived most of my life as a lazy junk food junkie up until I started this. As you will probably be able to tell from my logs, I am still learning this and a lot of it I don't really know what I'm doing yet. You may notice that some of my weights went down a few pounds (for example my squat was over 200 at one point now I'm lifting at 185). The reason for this is because I realized I was performing many of my exercises incorrectly, aka "ego lifting." My routine keeps changing until I figure out what I'm comfortable with and according to how much more I learn as I go along by reading magazines, internet articles, and advice on this forum. I started out with the 5 day split, but I've varied it up from there. One thing I have started doing, I try not to repeat the same exercise two weeks in a row to keep my body suprised.

I didn't start workin my abs until week 4. Now I work them 2-3 times/week. I do not have my cardio listed, but I usually hit the exercise bike for 8-10 minutes before lifting, and then I run 1.5 miles after lifting. The exception is on leg days and the day after. Instead of running I get on the exercise bike for 15 minutes. I started out at just over 14 minutes on my 1.5 mile time. I have shaved it down to just under 12 minutes, and hope to get down to around 10 minutes soon. I push myself hard when running. I always want to quit on that last 1/2 mile but I force myself to keep going.

My goals as I started this cycle (10 weeks):
Bench press 100% body weight
Run 1.5 miles in 10 minutes or less
Lose this fatty gut and see noticable difference in muscle growth
That's about it for the first time around. Next time I will have more to shoot for.

I have not started keeping a food diary, however I plan to start tomorrow. Here is a breakdown of my current supplements:
Multivitamin: I started out with Mega Men but now I am taking Multi Pro 32X
CEE Pro: twice a day (2nd intake about 1 hour before workout)
Glutamine: before & after workout
Chromium Picolinate: once/day
Fish Oil: 3 times/day
Vitamin C: 3 times/day
NO-Xplode: Pre-workout (I am not too impressed with using this)
100% Whey Protien Gold Standard powder shake: twice/day (immediately after workout)
ZMApm: before bed
