bench
132x12 154x9 176x6 (up 5lbs) incl bench 132x12 143x9 154x6 (up 5lbs) mil press 132x8 132x8 (up 1.1 lbs) skull crushers 66x12 77x10 88x8 99x6 110x4 (up 5 lbs) and and extra set doing legs separately this week as I felt really rubbish the next day and ended up getting sick (may not be related but it means i can concentrate more on legs anyway). all of the above is with good form and I am training by myself which i have to say is a pain in the butt as you pretty much have to make sure you can guarantee whatever weight goes down will go back up again. also crunch twists - 90 reps P 246 F 259 C 86 Weight has actually dropped to 178 lbs again. It was after the two weights days last week that I felt like cr@p so am having an "eat day" today where I just want to make sure I get enough in for recovery so the calories listed tomorrow should be quite large. Finding it a bit of a pain in the ass to be honest going up quite slow but as I took so long out from weights I dont want to try to lift what I was again really quickly and end up injured. Still taking Whey Protein bars creatine iso test cod liver oil timed multi vit chromium glucosamine and chrondritin am starting to take glutamine next week as it really helped with sleep and am having real difficulty getting to sleep at the minute.

the reason i am getting no sleep could be cause i am trying to sell my house and the market appears to be going tits up.

Ok so you just said in the bulking contest that you wanted in and you are up 13 lbs. The contest started the 19th. 7 days after was your first post here that said you weighed 181 lbs, today you posted again saying you still weigh 181 a change of 0 lbs. So are you saying you gained 13 lbs in 7 days before this journal started? Am I missing something?

yes you are missing something - quite a lot actually.
If you go back and read the bulking thread you will see in page 2 and 3 that i quite clearly state that I am going on holiday to Ibiza on the 2nd september and accordinly started on the 5-6 of May. 3 weeks before the start of this journal. being two weeks before the official start - does this disqualify me? do i care? not really, i am using it like this as a means of motivation in that I have to reproduce my efforts for others to critique (as indeed you are doing now). Accordingly I started on the 5th of May at 168 lbs and 13 odd % bf, I get this checked at my gym which happens to be Northern Ireland's sport science university gym. Since then I have gained 13 lbs. Now when I started this thread it was c. 10 days ago when indeed I was 181 lbs as I am now. So you may say that I have gained nothing in the last week and a half. On the contrary that was a Monday morning after a friday, saturday and sunday bender so was holding water and looking like cr@p. As of this morning Fri 6 July I am 181.78lbs naked first thing in the morning at the end of a week and with a 31" waist so I know that I have lost fat and gained muscle. So to answer your question yes, you missed quite a lot but i hope that this clears everything up for you. By the way I am self deprecating enough without others having a go. Furthermore before I started running I was 203 lbs and 8% bf with a bench of 275lbs, squat of 330lbs and dead of 395lbs so it would be fairly normal that through muscle memory I should gain quickly as you can see from the fact that my pathetically small lifts are increasing every week. If it is any consolation for you i still look like sh!t.

I could care less with contest rules and I suppose its up to the rest of the group when it comes to disqualification. As far as I am concerned as long as everyone has the same fair opportunity its ok with me. Can I ask why at 203lbs and 8% you dropped down to 168? I understand running, but why? You were well on your way and it seems as if you want to get back to where you were. Perhaps I missed an introductory thread. I understand muscle memory, its wonderful that once you have been there the weight comes back even faster. Good luck!

to be honest i started working out as I weighed 155 lbs and was playing semi pro soccer so my coach told me to start hitting the weights, I went to 196lbs and lean (i was still playing soccer 4x per week) but as anyone who plays soccer will tell you being 14 stone and extremely nimble are mutually exclusive. I am not talking about running speed here before all the american footballers go nuts i am talking about soccer skills quick turns and things like that and a soft touch on the ball are a lot harder at that weight.
I realised that I was enjoying the weights more and dropped a few levels of soccer to concentrate on weights and got to 14 and a half stone and c.8% that was 5-6 years ago. I did what a lot of guys do, started going out with a girl got engaged and got a very high pressure job working all the hours> I couldn't stick to the regimented weights routine so I was maybe getting one w.o. per week (gyms here close at 9 p.m.) and i wanted to do somehting that lift the competitive spirit. I always thought a marathon would be a challenge (especially for me I have bad athsma) and I knew I could fit in 3 or 4 runs a week no matter if it was 11.30 at night so I did that. Anyone who does long runs will tell you the weight drops off, when I did the mrathon i was 11.5 stone (161lbs). Me and fiancee broke up and i decided to book ibiza and do something i wanted to do from now on i.e. go travelling hit the weights, go to ibiza so I kitted ut my garage and joined a my old uni gym (i only use it for the squats and bodyfat measuring) and have spent a fortune on supps anyway here i am again

Mondays workout
BB Row up 2.2lbs in all sets top set 175x6 BB Shrug up 2.2lbs in all sets top set 175x6 Deadlift top lift up 11 lbs 275x6 ez bb curl up 2.2 lbs in all sets top set 112x4 reverse bb curl 90x12 weight in the morning 187lbs P 239 C 362 F 80 should probably lose this water weight in a day or two. My actual weight is not going up much more now even tho the weights are going up every week. But then I suppose as long as the weights keep going up then the muscle has to be getting built.
