I am a mass machine doing the challenge and here's my journal!

[Benvjohn]

hey, my name is ben. i have been doing mass machine training for almost 3 years. i started on February of 2010, gained lot of rock hard muscles. then i did a cut down phase to see my muscles. when i started my diet, calorie intake was 2200. in 7 weeks i cut down 200 calories from it.. and i saw good results.. i dint really go all the way down on fat%. i went down to almost 8% and i stopped dieting because my mom dint buy me chicken breast after that.. lol since then i havent dieted and i still managed to keep my body fat under 12%. I got into a university from january and im away from my house, i cannot eat whatever i want. i can only eat whatever food provided by the dining hall. because of that my fat % went up to 15%. im goin to start dieting again from may 3rd week which is right after my finals. I will be posting my before and after picture by july second week!

review for this week. started my training on monday morning.
legs
squats 315x5 x4 x4
leg pres 500x5 x4
stiff leg 215x5 x4
dumbbell lunges 65x10 x8
9 out of 10 for this training. i woulda rated 10, but for lunges i was struggling.

tuesday chest
bench- 200x6 x4 x4
incline 80x5 x4 x4
dips 25x6 x4
8 out of 10! i just cant focus on bench. 6th rep is really hard. im gonna stick with 200 for 2 more weeks.. if i dont see any progress. im just gonna move up by 5lbs! kind of confuse the muscle. i used this technique before, it worked!

I know how you feel. I don't get sick to often but a few months ago I got the flu as spring break begin. So my week of fun turned out to be a week of laying on the couch.

im guessing ur body cant take change of climate? that sux..
yea its one thing i hate! and this is exactly y i get away from people when they are sick.. some thinks its mean.. ohh well.. haha

[BOOGADA]

Change in climate irratates my allergies but usually doesn't get me sick. I'm assuming I caught something from school since a few classmates were sick the weeks before. Anyways, I'm not familiar with the mass machine training. What is it exactly? I'm assuming it's just a routine to follow. Would you reccomend it?

nothing sucks more than having your training thrown off track by getting the flu.
