Dude that's not a bad diet I guess, but you should get in a little more carbs and protein. I don't know if you don't have a lot of food around the house or what, but I'd definitely aim for 2x your weight in carbs and 1.5 your weight in protein.

Heavy training depletes your sugar storage, which creates a need for carbs to replenish and provide energy.

Chest, Delts & Tris!
Weigh in: 182
First day of benching in about two months. Arms were a little shakey because the fibers arent used to stablizing the bar on bench press.. In fact, today i felt my chest working alot more than i used to. so i didnt worry too much about weight. ill get back up to where i was in weight soon enough. Form is the key in bodybuilding, weight is ALWAYS secondary. With that said, here is my workout..
Chest-----
Barbell Flat Bench Press
Warm Up- Bar(45)x25, 95x20
3 Sets- 135x15, 155x8, 135x12
Dumbell Incline Bench Press
3 Sets- 45'sx12, 50'sx10, 55'sx6
Dumbell Incline Flys
3 Sets- 30'sx15, 35'sx12, (Dropset)40'sx8 + 30'sx12
Triceps--- i dont do much volume on these because chest is also working these indirectly.
Close grip bench press
Warm Up- Bar(45)x15
3 sets- 95x12 (i can go heavier but why? and just run the risk of injury.. as long as im stimulating the muscle theres no reason to go heavier & sacrifice form for weight.
Tricep Pushdowns (V-bar)
2 Sets- 50x15, (Dropset)62.5x12 + 50x8
Delts---I came to realize that in the past, on most deloid exercises, i wouldnt feel the muscle working. so this time i decided to slow down the pace of the reps and really focus on form and it turned out this worked really well for me.
Dumbell Lateral Raises
3 sets- 25'sx15
Thats it for chest tris & delts.. gym is closed the next 2 days for New Years.. so ill repost with my Back workout on Friday :)

this is how i got to eating so well, i posted this in another thread, but id just like to save it to my journal so i can look back on it one day and be proud of my progress.. i know its a bit long, but just bare with me if your could. and thanks to anyone that reads my journal, i really appreciate any support that i get.
i basically tought myself to eat every 1-2 hours, which is much better for me, when im eating larger meals every 3-4 hours i tend to forget a meal sometimes. over the past 2 weeks ive really been focusing on nutrition.. i went from eating potatoe chips, pizza, & twinkies all the time to eating six to 8 clean meals per day. honestly, i dont know what was getting me through my workouts over the past year, eating so little, but ive always had a strong mentality which helps.. But now that i know the importance of nutrition, theres no turning back. I had some personal issues i had to take care of over the past few months. I became so pre-occupied, and busy with other things that i had almost completely forgot about bodybuilding. There was about a month in that 2 month span where i was lucky to get 2 meals in or even train once a week.. time had gone by so fast & before i new it i had lost 15 pounds, weighing 170, and i was weaker than i ever was in my life. I went to bed that night and i was so discusted with what i had done that i couldnt sleep. i just lied in my bed and thought. This was my turning point, that was the moment where i made the decision to get my ass in gear and stop what i was doing. The next week i was eating 5 meals a day.. (much better than 1-2), and training harder than ever before. The following week i bumped it up to 6 meals & another week passed by, i finally decided that next week that i would record everything i was eating. And here i sit three days later finding myself eating no less than 7 meals a day & back up to 182 pounds as of yesterday. i can say that im proud, happy, but i will never be satisfied. I am a firm believer than everything happens for a reason, and i believe that if i didnt have that setback, i would not be as strong or as deticated as i am today.
your 800 pounds overweight js.

I havent posted in this journal in a while, but im making some great progress, so im going to continue to track my progress with this journal.
Haven't been online much at all this week, due to my busy schedule. Got a few Dead Lift PR's this week, and a squat PR.. Monday i broke my previous record which was 295x2 by pulling 305x1. Shortly after I decided to give 315 a try and was successful with that lift. I have a video for it but its too short to upload on youtube:( I'll see if i can fix it this weekend when i have more time. Today (thursday 1/22) I DL'ed again, hoping to achieve a much cleaner 315 than Mondays lift. (The goal was 315x2) and i managed to get 315x3! with good form of course. And the squat PR this week was up 1 rep from the previous week.
So to sum it all up, (for those of you who dont care to read the above passage) my new PR's are:
Deadlift: 315x3
Squat: 225x5
(New DL Goal is 365):)
Supercows
01-23-2009, 05:37 PM
i didn't expect to reach it as fast as i did.. But I was confident that I would do it. Went from 225x4-6 to 315x3 in a matter of 2-3 weeks. Now I'm more focused on reaching my bench goal, which is 225.
Walked to the gym today since they close around 6 on Fridays, contemplating whether to do chest. did 2 sets of warm ups on a nautilus machine, then moved over to bench. put 95 on the bar for a warm up set, and my front delts were a bit too sore from yesterday to do chest, and i was running low on time, so i just decided to wait til tomorrow to do chest. Did some calves instead, and had a pretty good workout.
3 sets on the smith machine (standing calf raises)
then did some FST-7 on the cybex leg press machine for calves.
Then did some stretching following that.
(Chest tomorrow):D

Decided to do a set of power cleans just for the hell of it:
95x8
Close-Grip Seated Rows: Used this for my FST-7 (30-45sec in between sets)
7 sets of 175x12, I could do more but my right trap was hurting a bit from the power cleans so i took it fairly easy on the rows.
Did some extreme stretching after I finished back.
Biceps: Didnt have much time, but i managed to get 9 sets in.
Alternate standing dumbell curls
40x7 Dropset (PR!)
30x10
25x12
Did this 3 times. In the past i had a really hard time feeling the bicep working in the motion, but this time I finally figured it out. I had to close my eyes and really focus on the motion instead of watching them. Probably the best bicep pump to date :). 10/10 for this workout. Had alot of fun.

Chest/Tri's Day Weigh in: 186.5lbs.
Strength was down a bit on bench today. Had to walk about 0.7 miles in 8 degree weather with wind blowing pretty strong to get there, My face/fingers felt like they were going to fall off, lol. I was also going on 2-3 meals vs. my usual 4-5 pre-workout. so this may have had something to do with it.

Today's (Saturday) workout: Chest Weigh in 188!! with shorts on too! vs the usual sweat pants. very pleased with my weight. Goal is 190.
Flat Barbell Bench Press: Decided to use gloves on these for some reason.. and came to find out that the gloves actually reduce my grip and comfort on the bench press, thus making me a bit weaker. Also, i was using a bench with a rather high rack, (i always use the same bench when i bench, but it was taken, sadly), going on one meal, & training in the morning. Anyways..

Extreme stretching after, had a good chest pump. minus the low strength, it was a pretty good workout. My new weight got me hype! 7/10. Off day tomorrow. Ive also been prioritizing legs/back & pushing chest to the end of the week to bring up those body parts, so my body may have the tendency to forget how to bench as well as i DL/squat.

Quad/Glute day- Weigh in: 189. Was pissed because my supps i ordered on Saturday haven't come in yet, they'll be in tomorrow. Anyways, this workout started off bad, i was going on 6hrs of sleep, so my strength & energy was down a lot. but after about 20mins of thinking and messing around something kicked in and my energy was back up but str was still down.

Nice pump in the targeted areas which is what i was chasing since my strength was down significantly. Hams were still a tiny bit sore from last Saturday, probably because i ran out of Xtend, which helps with recovery. Might do them tomorrow with back. 6/10 for this workout.
