No. The first four weeks are there for a reason. You can't jump to conclusions about the program after one workout. It will get heavy soon enough. Be patient.

Good luck. I'll check in on your journal.

argh..i dont think im eating enough. hopefully tomorrow i can get some more intake..but it doesnt feel like im putting in nearly enough at the gym. not used to taking a day off between lift days either..

regarding the diet...i feel like since im trying to eat more..soemtimes i might overeat for one meal..so gotta space things out.

it also seems like all the fat goes to my stomach..since im not burining as many calories as i used to..i guess thats going to happen.. i better gain some major muscle out of this program.

[avu23]

Alright, its been a while since I updated. But I think I've made some major gains with this program.

Current Weight:165
At the end of Week 4:

Squats: 5x245
Bench: 5x155,165,180,190,200
Row: 113,122,131,140,148
Deadlift: 5x235

I dunno..I'm pretty happy with these gains. I've been taking sizeon for a month and I think that helps too..lotsa chicken and brown rice and lots of water. Reduced my cardio quite a bit..I just swim now for 30 min twice a week. As far as being cut..gained a small bit of fat..but I guess thats what happesn when you try to bulk.

Any comments would be appreciated.

I actually did the whole program up to week 5. I didn't jump.. just instead of posting my results every single day or every week..i didn't have time. so posting my results after week 4.
