Shanes first workout log! Time to get swole!

[shaneee]

Alright I thought I'd start my first ever log! Figured it'd be a good idea to actually track my progress from now on lol.

Started lifting April 09 for the first time..lifted until sometime in august of 09 then i had to stop for football and basketball, didn't get to start back until april 10'! was a big break, but started back and i had to stop again beginning of this past november 10'..just started back about 2 weeks ago so im a bit weaker than i was, but w/e let's get it!

Split is as follows:

Mon: Chest/light tri(by light i mean low volume, about 4 sets total for a single tricep exercise)
Tues: Back/light bi(same as above)
Wed: Shoulders/traps
Thurs: Arms(Actual full volume bi/tri workout)
Fri: Legs
Sat-Sun: Off
Mon: Repeat.

Main goal is hypertrophy..I'm trying to get as big as possible before i decide to cut for the summer..im thinking mid-april, maybe beginning of may. Then i will cut for maybe 1-2 months until i get to where i want and continue to clean bulk again until the next spring.

Stats:

17 y/o
6'2"
221 lbs as of yesterday

[shaneee]

I figure'd I'll go ahead and post my leg workout from Friday since i actually remember that one.

Back Squats:

-Barx10
-135x10
-225x5
-315x5
-365x4(Was very close to failure)
-315x8(Wasn't very hard at all)


Leg Press:(I'm not sure of the the weight of the sled so I'll just post the weights i put on)

-2x 100 lb plates on each sidex20
-2x 100 lb plates and a 45 lb plate on each sidex15
-2x 100 lb plates and a 45 lb plate on each sidex12
-2x 100 lb plates and a 45 lb plate on each sidex10

Good Mornings:
-Barx10
-75x10
-95x10
-115x8

Leg extensions machine:
-150x18
Just to burnout at the end


It went good. Squats are coming back up really quickly and I'm loving it. I'll admit though I don't go as hard on legs as i should, I just don't enjoy doing it as much as other body parts, but it's definitely growing on me.

[shaneee]

Just gonna say, i HATE waiting all weekend to get back to lifting! I just get an itch everyday to hit the weight but i have to resist.

But I'm so ****in pumped for chest tomorrow :D

[shaneee]

Chest/light tri day! Weighed 223 today, still gaining weight, still alot weaker than before though.

Flat db bench press:

40sx10 for a warmup
65sx10
75sx9
90sx4.5(failure trying 5th rep)
75sx7.5(failure trying 8th rep)

Incline db bench press:

60sx9
70sx7
60sx7.5(failure trying 8th)
50sx9.5(failure trying 10th)

Weighted Dips:

Bw+45 lbsx7
Bw+75 lbsx7
Bw+90 lbsx5(failure, couldnt even get up at all for 6th)
Bw+45 lbsx9(failure trying 10th) Drop set to just body weight for 5 reps

Incline Pushes superset with Incline Flys: (Incline pushes is an exercise where you have the dbs in a neutral position like you're doing flys..have them in the center of your chest touching, and just press them like that..like a moving isometric. Hits the inner chest really hard and in this case Inner-upper chest..also just for some more upper work.

30sx14 for both exercises
40sx7(incline pushes) 40sx9(Incline flys)
50sx5(failure, incline pushes) 50sx7(failure, incline flys)
55sx8(Only did Incline flys for this last set, hit failure)

Seated overhead db extensions:

80x8
85x8(failure)
70x10(failure)
80x7(failure, had a longer rest period on this set, like 3-4 mins because i helped spot a guy then he started talking for a bit, so i went back up in weight some)


Notes- Overall a bad workout. Flat db bench is up a little bit from last week, weighted dips are also up, and working up the volume on the inline pushes/inline flys so improvement there, but DOWN on the incline db press.
Was a bad workout though, because it was hitting my shoulders way too hard on the presses..last week i felt everything completely in my chest and my shoulders never interfered..this week for some reason with the same form on everything my shoulders started really getting worked on the flat bench which kept going on the incline bench and hurt my performance..not really sure why it did this all of a sudden..hopefully it doesn't happen anymore

Also still not up to where i was at all, but it's getting there slowly

[shaneee]

kk grubbed about 23-24 hot wings from macadoos wing night
that's at least like 1500-1700ish calories...150+ grams of protein
that's AT LEAST a total of 4k cals for the day..i think at least 4500 though..could be a bit more, not 100% though

Deadlifts:

135x10
225x8

Close grip chins:

Bwx6
Bwx4
Bwx4
Bwx5(failure, then jumped up and lowered myself slowly on the negative only 3 times)

Wide Neutral grip lat pulldowns:

I don't know the real weight on these..It's numbered from 2 to 20 each other one, but like the 10 one isn't 100 lbs the 20 one isn't 200 lbs etc..I weigh 224 and i can put it on 18 and just hang from the bar full weight and it doesn't budge, so..ill just put the number that's on it.

On 9th platex10
On 11th platex9

80x10 each arm(failure)

95x5(failure)
85x6(failure)
75x5(failure)
65x5(failure)


Notes- Overall felt like a pretty good workout. Up in just about everything from last week. Sucks about my pullups/chinups though..i used to be able to get 8-12 per set, but i guess since i've gained so much weight lately from grubbin I can't anymore. Also I want to add some weighted lower back extensions at the end, but I'm sooo tired from this workout at the end I'm just ready to leave lol

Also still weaker than normal but it's coming...it's really strange though actually...I'm at my biggest right now everywhere, but weaker than i used to be haha..doesn't make sense..and It's not from fat either. Guess I'm not complaining though!

[shaneee]

mmm..was somewhere around 3k or 3.5k cals for the day...if i had to guess..then just went to eat a chinese buffet for 5 bucks and it's good as hell..dear god at least 1k+ cals haha...always gotta hit that 5k for the day :D
will eat a bit more now
nom nom, gettin big bros

[shaneee]

Shoulders/traps today! Weighed 224 today as well... First day i didn't gain weight :(

On 10th platex12
On 12th platex12

-Meant to go to failure more on these but needed to use more weight


Behind the ass shrugs:

135x10
225x6(Failure)
185x10(failure)



Notes- Overall felt pretty good. Although I've done barbell presses a total of like 4-5 times ever, I've been doing seated db press basically always but i thought I should give these a try since my shoulders are my weakest body part and grow the least, i might as well try something different that alot of people swear by.
Also haven't done shrugs much either..always skipped them and now my traps are kind've small for me so it's time to get on those lol

[shaneee]

Also just gonna leave this here i suppose..pics taken since the log..also just measured the other night..im at my biggest, BUT good amount weaker than i used to be? doesn't make sense lol my size gains are outpacing my strength gains BY FAR at the moment..not gonna complain though haha

Sittin at 45" Chest, 54" shoulders, 26.5" legs, and 17" arms at the moment!

Notes- Today felt good, tried something new(doing rows first) and it felt great, so I'll go with that for a bit and see how it goes. I didn't think waiting so long to do rack pulls/deadlifts would make such a difference on the weight but it definitely did..lowered it a good amount, but then again im trying to bodybuild not really powerlift so it's ok i guess. Also I'm for sure when i cut down here soon for summer and lose some weight actually I'll go back to being able to do upward of 10-15 Bw pullups, that'll be good.

Notes- Didn't feel all that good today..felt extra bloated...also i was having some pain like in my upper forearm..or well like the other side of my elbow..not sure why, tendonitis or something maybe? I was having it through the day, and then as i started curling it got pretty bad.. Also dips got weaker some how :( .... I did get heavier so it could be that lol..

[shaneee]

ok well skipped fridays workout..we left pretty early to go to that spring massive, rave thing lol..like 1 or 2 so i didnt go to school.. i COULD'VE lifted before if i really wanted but it was leg day..for one i don't give a **** about legs..27" legs is enough for me lolz..also having sore legs for 8 straight hours of raving=****ty, couldn't have that
so will hit legs next friday i suppose, and continue on this week


actually this week is different..im trying to like overtrain myself for this one week, hit everything with ridiculous sets probably even twice a week..then take next week fully off since it's the end of my bulk..might as well have a deload it's been awhile with alot of sets to failure and **** etc anyways..next week since it's the deload week ill start doing some cardio and slowly taper down my calories since the next week i will be fully cutting!

[shaneee]

also going to note..i haven't been eating too much this weekend for the first time in awhile..feels good not to be bloated to hell but not good cause ill probably have lost a bit of weight! friday partied all night and drove for hours so didn't eat much at all then..like 2 meals not even huge ones at that..saturday didn't get back till late then went out again so had 2-3 meals not even all that big either..today didn't do too much just didn't eat that much..if i had to guess around 3500 calories which is probably right above maintenance..i think ill go make some food real quick to bump that up to 4k+ for today at least so one day this weekend wasn't bad on the cals

anyways will start back tomorrow with 6k cals a day..bumping them up extra this week since im going to go crazy on the volume and just everything

[shaneee]

Notes- Felt good today, chest had a GREAT pump going..was tiring as hell though! Good thing I'm only doing this for a week.. I'm sure it'll be worth it though.

[shaneee]

Ok had a good week of training super high volume
was really tiring but now a deload follows

anyways didn't wanna post all the workouts cause they were so long..just some highlights though

chest day already posted..shoulders hit 35s on seated lateral raises for 7 on like the 5th set of em..after presses etc..never done that much felt good..face pulls did the whole stack for 10..did weighted dips on arm day +90 lbs and my weight(230 something) for 6..was stuck at 3-4 like 3-4 straight weeks..hit 245x7 or something on barbell rows as well

missed leg day again though, had **** to do..will get back to it soon though..anyways wanted to update with measurements since my bulk is now completed and compare it to when i cut..will also post some pics probably from this past 1-2 weeks(ones i already hadn't)

Chest(Flexed)-46"
Arms(Flexed)-17.25"
Shoulders(Relaxed)-54.25"
Legs(Right in the middle, flexed)- 27.75"
Calves(Flexed)-17.5"


anyways will start posting back in this not this week..but the next when i fully start my cut..will be changing the workout a bit as well..might post this week some though as to what kind've cardio im doing

[shaneee]

http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac317/ballaticianaire/032001_002500.jpg

proof of arm size :P

last time i posted the one at like almost right at 17" ..people cried about it being angled saying it'd be like 16.5" or some **** if that if it was straight..
this one is more straight so there you go(to the haters)

[shaneee]

also here's a relaxed front pic..im a bit higher on the bf% as you can see so it's def time for a cut..im sure ill look much bigger too and shoulders will have some pop so i can't wait

http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac317/ballaticianaire/030601_154000.jpg

also this back pic

http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac317/ballaticianaire/031501_195500.jpg

i can really tell i put on some fat here..my hips look much wider..takes away from the v-taper so bad..i still have some definition there so not so bad..also shoulders got bigger from what i can tell(thank god) and back looks bigger/wider..when i cut i have a feeling the v-taper will be nasty(im hoping)

[shaneee]

Well this week is a deload week. I'm gonna start doing cardio trying to get in shape and burn some cals this week..diet isn't gonna be really strict but it'll be less calories than usual..then next week it's all out on the cut, lifting heavy etc


I ran about 2 1/2 miles and did a 4 sets of a circuit with a friend(that's like all he does is circuits) nonetheless though 2 1/2 miles after gaining alot of weight and not running in soo long was killer..i thought i was gonna die haha..hopefully it'll get easier soon

and today I'm probably gonna hit up the gym for a bit run 1-2 miles, lift light something..maybe some circuits.. then im gonna play some basketball for around 1 1/2-2 hours after that!

Played alot of basketball today for cardio.. At the gym played for awhile, then went and had a light arm workout..got a good pump and whatnot, then later in the day balled for a couple hours at the rec center..so good cardio today..also weighed 226 today! coming down in weight..probably mostly just water at this point..
