Josh's brand new log
Hey everyone.
I have been messing around with lifting weights since I was about a senior in high school never for more than a month or so at a time. I am now coming into my sophomore year of college. Recently for about a month and a half I settled in and trained pretty seriously and made some ground in the way of strength gains. A family vacation caused me to take a two week break and now its time to hit the gym again. I have been lurking around these boards for a while just absorbing as much knowledge as possible and I like to think that I have a basic idea of the simple components of bodybuilding. I am going to try and buckle down and start gaining some size and figured it'd be good to get you guys involved. To give you a basic idea of the gains I have made in the month and a half I will post up the weights from my first and last workouts: First: Bench:135x10 Incline DB Bench: 45'sx7 Decline DB Bench: 40'sx6 Military DB: 35x6 Skullcrushers: 60x7 lateral raises 15x10 Deads:185x8 BB rows: 95x8 BB curl: 60x6 Pulldowns:110x8 Low Pulley Row: 105x10 Last: Bench:155x7 ( was focusing more on incline DB) Incline DB Bench: 60'sx6 Decline DB Bench: 50'sx8 Military DB: 40'sx9 Skullcrushers: 70x5 lateral raises 15x12 Deads:275x3 BB rows: 135x6 BB curl: 70x5 Pulldowns:120x8 Low Pulley Row: 120x10 I will be posting up my workout routines for each day along with my diet for most days from now on. I am roughly 190 pounds 6'2 in. and bulking. BTW: I don't look like I weigh 190 at all I look like I am probably 170 or so.

Tuesday July 17,2007: Push Day
I was surprised with how well I did today after two weeks of doing nothing. Bench 135x10 155x7 165x5 Incline DB bench: 50x10 55x8 60x7 Dips (bodyweight): 7 6 5 Military 35x12 40x10 45x6 Skullcrushers: 60x10 60x10 70x4 Lateral Raises 15x12,12,12 One thing I find is that by the time I get to dips my tris are already shot and I can only pump out a few. Also it seems like skullcrushers are being immensely effected by this. Despite this gained reps or weight in most excercises. As far as diet goes today was pretty sh*tty: Breakfast: 5 egg whites big bowl of oatmeal bannana 2 scoops whey in water Lunch: Wendys classic double w/ fries and chicken nuggets (sucks) Pre workout: 2 pb&j sandwiches on wheat Postworkout: 2 scoops whey bannana 2 juice drinks (I heard that it was good to get some simple carbs postworkout, not sure if its true) Dinner: will have chicken and whole weat pasta After:will most likely have tuna sandwich or something to that effect. Any criticism or comments welcome

Well I train in a gym so there are other people around but I don't have an actual lifting partner. And thanks, I know that I could progress much more if I can push myself harder.
My biggest problem at the moment is getting my diet in check. While I'm home from college for the summer I work 8-5 and in that time period the only meal I can really eat is lunch usually at a fast food joint or something. I wish that I could throw a couple more good protein and carb filled meals in there

Haha thanks I thought some of you guys might like that.
Basically its just that I don't have the time to. The only break I have is lunch and I end up going with the other guys wherever they go. If I could eat while I work I would but it's not really that kind of job. For the most part I'm assembling machines all day which leaves me covered in grease. Also, the shop is not the best environment to have food because of the dust and oil. Some things that I might try will be either protein bars or bringing a couple of extra shakes to work with me. I figure if I throw a some oats in with my whey I can get at least some sort of a meal. Does anyone have any good recipes for meal replacement shakes?

I'd love to have someone to train with but none of my friends go to my gym. Also, whenever I've trained with buddies in the past they never want to lift the way I do. They all seem to love isolation machines and high reps to "get them more cut". I used to buy into that kinda stuff before I stumbled across this site. Now I know heavy compounds are the way to go along with a proper diet.

Thursday July 19: Pull
Deads: 135x10 185x8 225x6 275x4 (Form was ****ty on last rep but my deadlift has exploded in the past month so Im very excited about this. I can remember a time only a few months ago before I started training religious when I had to struggle to get 155 for 8) BB row: 95x12 115x10 135x8 Pulldown 95x12 110x10 120x9 Low pulley row 105x12 120x10 120x9 BB Curl 50x12 60x10 70x6 Overall a good workout. I progressed on every single exercise by at least a rep. The one thing that worries me is my form at the end of my heavy sets of deads and BB rows. With rows I feel like my lower back gives out before my lats. Diet was ok today, I won't bother to post.
