My next workout. :)

I am starting a full body routine twice per week starting next week due to time constraints as of late.

Not as huge as I may sound. I'm not very strong either compared to most everyone on here. I plan on progressing with my growth and strength though.

I'll take some measurements later and post 'em.

:cool:

[scott_donald]

what you doin now... that you have so little time.... i watch with interest... the full body that i tried is good if you want to try...

[CyberGod]

Hey there,

Looking forward to see some basic full body routines....

As soon as my hip heals up, I'll join you with some full body routines ;)

Good luck.

I just have had a crapload of schoolwork; plus I'm playing basketball and soccer for fun 2-3 days per week. Gotta keep the calories up!

I've never tried a full body before. So this could be interesting. I will probably start it next Monday or Tuesday.

ah good start the journal king...

[Bignbuff]

Thanks for your support guys!

I realize that I'm not putting up numbers like the rest of you. However, be assured I put 100% into every set while always maintaining good form. I could easily add 20 pounds or so to every lift while using crap form, but I just can't stand for anything less than perfection.

:cool:

:cool:

Bump I agree with you totally, I'm curious to see what your stats are since we are doing the same weight on shoulders. I'm looking forward to seeing you progress, especially if we are similar in size and strength on other lifts.

[Heisman]

I am probably similar to you in strength as well. Good form is definitely the way to go. How old are you?

I've been lifting for roughly two years. Although, until last year I didn't know what I was doing.

I tend to use higher reps for shoulders and legs. :)

I would bro, but my gym actually doesn't have a weighted belt. Bodyweight dips still work ok for me.

Normally I don't do dips, I'll do skullcrushers or CGBP instead but there was about 3 people waiting to use the skullcrusher station when I got in the gym today. :mad:

[Heisman]

A dip belt hardly costs anything, and you can use them for pull ups and chin ups as well.

I haven't seen any around in stores I go too. would they have them at sports authority or not?

They probably do.

But like I said, I don't really need one right now. Just using my bodyweight is intense enough for me. I prefer using higher reps for arms.

I don't have a sports authority, but they would have them at just about any sports store.

BTW, starting today I will be taking a week off from this site since I'll be away with my family. I will continue training in the meantime, nonetheless.

See everyone in a week.

Well two weeks ago I was on vacation, but worked out nonetheless, I just couldn't get to a computer to update this.

Last week I forgot to update this on Monday since I had quite a busy day, but worked out after school nonetheless.

I also trained last Thursday, but my computer has been pretty messed up since when I got home that day, so I was busy trying to fix it (still am) and didn't get a chance to.

Like I said though, I'll definitely update it today.

[scott_donald]

It basically a full body done twice per week. I plan on switching up the exercises every week or so. I'll be sure to always include squat though as I feel they are most important.

Yes, it's been a while since I last had the chance to talk to you Scott. I've been slow the past couple of days since my computer was messed up but it's all better now. Otherwise things are going well. What's up with you lately besides posting on this forum 24/7? :D:D:D

It sucks because I usually have after school activities and my gym is only open till five Monday through Friday.

[Bignbuff]

Wasn't able to make it to the gym yesterday or today. I'm home from school with a fever.

Hopefully I will feel better soon.

I just have about 10 more inches to go on my arms.

That sucks more. I had nine ear infections in third grade, so I know how bad they can be, although it probably won't be that bad at all.

Well my left ear hurts like a bitch right now. I haven't had that many of these, so I'm not used to this.

The doc prescribed me some Augmentin, so hopefully it will feel better soon.

Right now I'm 5' 7" and about 162 pounds. I'd say around 12% bodyfat or so.

Right now I'm on maintanence calories and am gonna start cutting in a month or so. No supps right now besides whey post workout, a multivitamin, and EFA's.

I was just saying that it doesn't take much effort to update the journal. You put a lot of effort into your workouts so you might as well show them off.

Also, you are the reason that this section exists. Since you started this section, it just seems logical that you have an updated journal in it.

There is no real split. I'm just trying to incorportate all my bodyparts at least once per week. It all depends on my schedule.

I will not be training legs much though due to soccer starting up again right now. It's club season and this is what's most important for college, so I want to save them for what I will be doing on the field. My legs are in good shape anyways though so no biggie.

[scott_donald]

should always do legs...

[Bignbuff]

Originally posted by scott_donald

I will do them when I can.

It's just that I really need to keep them fresh for soccer since I will be applying to colleges soon and this is the year the colleges will be seeing me. I'm playing 3-4 times per week on average, so it's hard to find times where they will get proper recovery.

Like I said though, whenever I get the chance, I will definitely be training them.

i am in the same boat for rugby hard but have to do it...

[Heisman]

Cool. I play high school soccer on varsity. I don't play for any clubs. I'm dreading when soccer comes around next fall because my leg workouts will suffer a lot. I'm just going to train legs on Fridays, but with a club you probably have games on Saturday and Sunday as well.

Well I don't remember the workouts in their entirity as far as weights used and reps performed. But I have a general idea of what I did.

[Bignbuff]

Here's what we're gonna do...

Since I can't get to my computer as much as I used to. I'm gonna update my journal on a weekly basis. If I have the time, I will update it on the day of the workout, but no guarantees.

Then, if I don't update it within that week then you all can rag on me...cough...Scott Donald...cough....Heisman....cough...Jimineye. :D

Then, if I don't update it within that week then you all can rag on me...cough...Scott Donald...cough....Heisman....cough...Jimineye. :D

Fine by me. Just bring something to the gym to write down what you did. If you forget paper, then borrow a pen and write it on your arm or something. Just don't forget! :)

Thanks man. I think I may just be posting in my journal from now on once per week or so.

Things are going well. Busy with schoolwork, lifting, and soccer right now.

I cannot wait for next fall when soccer starts back up. As long as I maintain my lifts I'll be happy.

No, I'll be a junior. Unfortunately, our team will probably suck. We had one SUPERSTAR player who was a senior, and our only good goalkeeper is also graduating. Soccer isn't one of the more popular sports in my school, people only care about football, basketball, and track.

Yea it was the first time I'd done it in a while. Didn't like it very much. I think I'll stick to cable crossovers from now on.

Congrats on the 17k Scott!

Thanks man. Calves have always been a strong point. Genetics. :D

I looked at Jacksonville University, University of Florida, and University of Central Florida earlier this week.

That a boy! That's what I want to see. Visiting my Alma Mater. If you need help with any college stuff, LMK

On that note, UF is SICK. Chicks up the gazzu (HOTTTTTT as well), the sports programs are still doing well (besides the choking in the 'big events') and the academics are in the Top 40 US schools

Yes, I was quite impressed with the academics and the ladies. ;) We got to sit in the stadium on the tour as well.

Everything looked good. There's only two things that worry me though...

1) Location- Gainesville seems to be in the middle of nowhere and a pain in the ass to travel out of.

2) Dorms- I heard that they really suck and are small. Not all of them have AC either.

It's still being considered nonetheless.

Location isn't very good. The main attraction of Gville is that it is 1hr from Jacksonville, 1.5hrs from Orlando and 2hrs from Tampa, as well as being on a major highway (I-75). You can fly into Gville but it is a regional airport and you'll need to fly into Atlanta (Delta) or Charlotte (US Airways) first and connect from there. It took me roughly 5hrs to get to Gville from Miami and Atlanta is about 5hrs away as well (on I-75). However, Gville IS a college campus, bar none!

Some of the dorms need work. To my knowledge there are two dorms that are w/o AC (both located on University Avenue). There are some new dorms out there so, if you opt to go, you may get lucky.

Ohh, and the soccer program is very solid as well. That's a good thing, eh? ;)

It's a great school and I'm sure you'll enjoy getting your noodle wet every so often with the chicks :D x 100

:cool:

[AutoCautionDoor]

Yeah man - head over to UF, you'll enjoy it. I have one more year left here.

[Bignbuff]

OK guys. Thanks for the advice!

Yea. Still quite busy.

The amount of time that I can spend on the forum fluctuates from week to week. This week, I probably could have updated after every workout, but it isn't always like that.

If you can update every time then you might as well do it. It only takes a minute.

You made some nice gains on the back/bi workout. Really nice gains.

You should come to University of Oregon with me :D

good workout, have u ever tried regular BB or DB military press instead of the machine.. i have tried all of them and i definitly like the freeweights better on miliatry press

[scott_donald]

back to the subject... why so busy again... or is you are spending more time at hardcore or what... can rem and cant be bothered reading back... i have slowed down posting too... summer... well not today but time to do more outside....

[Bignbuff]

Actually I'm really busy with school, soccer, and lifting nowadays. This is the year when it's most important that I do well since it counts most for college. Only got two B's on my last report card so that's good considering I'm in mostly honors classes.

I'm not a mod at Hardcore anymore due to time constraints, but still visit the site nonetheless.

[scott_donald]

thats not good... so are you goin back once you get off for summer...

sound pretty good with the grades there...

[Bignbuff]

Well I didn't get kicked off as a mod. I just stepped down since I didn't feel like I could be on the site enough and I don't like doing things half ass. As far as being a mod again, I may consider it in the summer. I didn't get kicked off or anything, it's a great place over there with lots of nice people.

Yeah, grades aren't too bad. I'm taking the SAT's again in June.

Thanks man. Things are still pretty busy so I'm still not posting as much. I'll be posting more in the summer. I like doing lateral raises, IDK why, I guess it's because I've gotten some good results with them.

Nice to speak with you Scott. :)

Indeed.

School is good and the warm weather is nice. School starts at 7:20 for me so I just went on before I left since I had some extra time this morning. :)

Looking pretty good. Getting a little wider and seem to be gaining some muscle even while cutting. Almost at a six pack now. :)

I have always found medium reps (6-12) to work best for me.
