My aunt bought me some Vitamin Shoppe Creatine Monohydrate 100% today. 102 servings for $13.99. Hopefully this will give me that little boost I need to bench 250, squat 315, and pull 405.

I played varsity football till I got my ankle shattered at 17, oh well, sh*t happens. Judging by your size I'm guessing wide receiver/safety? Good split, I did the whole 5x5 in HS myself. What is your diet like and what are your goals?

[PaC-mAn8]

Son of a beetch. Got 300 for reps on Deads.

-16'' arms
-250 bench
-315x5 squat
-405x1 deadlift
-210lbs @ 10-14%BF
-185x10 Hang Clean
-3.2 Accumulative GPA

Easily, plus you're 16, you should build size and strength at a crazy rate. I know I did. I played LE and TE was an almost solid 275 at 17. By 09 you should be benching well over 300, especially if you can do 225 right now. You have 8 month's, if you stick to this plan and have a proper diet, you should smash all those. Any questions let me know, I'm transforming myself right now too. Trying to get back to where I was.
Subbed your journal too, good luck, i'll be watching.

No workout today got a project to do and a dinner to go to. Will start back up again with Power Upper on saturday.

[PaC-mAn8]

Slacker.

[bigAFG416]

get the hell out of here haha. I ended up just doing heavy curls and some light close-grip bench in my garage.

1-Straight Bar Curl ???: 75x10, 85x10, 95x5, 95x5, 75x10

2-CGBP ???: 95x20, 115x10, 135x10, 145x12

I only got a 140lbs of weight in my garage haha. So, I was forced to work with what I had.

True but God hasn't blessed me with a license yet haha.

It's all good man, I didn't get mine till I was 18, but that was kinda because I got busted for driving when I was 15, and apparently the state of California looks down on that.

Power Upper: 5/3/08

1- BB Bench 5x5: 135x5, 155x5, 165x5, 185x3, 185x3

2- Dips 3x10: Bwx10, BWx10, BWx10

3- BB Rows 5x5: 135x5, 145x5, 155x5, 185x5 (PR!), 185x5 (Just to check form)

4- Pull-ups 3xMax: BWx3, BWx3, BWx2

5- Standing Military Press 5x5: 95x5, 105x5, 115x5, 115x5, *

Not exactly the best workout I've ever had, but at least I hit a PR on the BB Rows. Every pressing movement felt heavy today, 135 on the bench felt like 185 and 115 on the military press felt heavier than last weeks 125x5. Hopefully next week I can go in and set some more PR's.

"But at what cost?"

[bigAFG416]

5/4/08 : Lower Power

1) Squats 5x5: 135x5, 185x5, 205x5, 225x5, 245x5 (Definitely need to up the weight next week.)

2) Hang Cleans 5x5: 135x5, 155x5, 175x3, 185x4 (PR!, could've gotten 5 but I wanted to hit 205 badly), 205x 1/2 way up, 205x all the way up just couldn't lock out my knees, next week though!

3) Leg Press 5x5: 405x5, 495x5 (PR#1!), 545x5 (PR#2!), 565x5 (PR#3!), 585x5 (PR#4!)

4) SLDL 5x5: 135x5, 185x5, 205x5, Got distracted and started helping some guy with his squat form.

5) Rope Crunches 5x10: 110x10, 140x10, 150x10, 120x20, 110x20.

All in all a pretty damn good workout, five PRs in one workout isn't too shabby! For me at least. Next weeks goals are...
1- hit 255x5 squat
2- hit 205x1 hang clean
3- remember to do shrugs (lol)

Rating: 9.75/10, only because I came so close to hitting 205 but I just couldn't lock out.

[bigAFG416]

what do you guys think?

[bigAFG416]

So I just added everything up and so far I'm at 869lbs/1000lbs (5/5/08). Not bad my total has gone up 150lbs in two months. Only 131lbs left till I'm in the 1000lb club. Hopefully I can get there in 3-4 months. Am I being realistic with myself?

[PaC-mAn8]

you'll get there..dont sweat it
