What did you do as a beginner to get so tank?

**jellyorjamcuz** · 11-17-2009, 06:37 PM

i was about 10lbs lighter then i am now with no muscle (bordering on obese). started with a bodybuilding split. after 9 months moved onto a powerlifting workout (starr's 5 x 5). then ran smolov (didnt finish coz i got swine flu in 6th week

). then back to 5x5. the first meet. last month has been sheiko 29

**7399martyn** · 11-17-2009, 07:39 PM

in for results.

**jellyorjamcuz** · 11-18-2009, 03:07 AM

ok. so i got a 120kg bench (5kg PR) and a 200kg deadlift (7.5kg PR). was too ****ed after deadlifts to do squats so i'll max them on saturday.

best thing is both my previous PR's were at a meet about 5 weeks ago with a loose suit on. lifts today were done in shorts and a singlet with some chalk. also videoed the deadlift for form checks, but my mate videoed it upside down on my phone T_T it was smooth as **** though

given a conservative 165 squat PR on saturday, i'll be 25kg away from qualifying for the APL junior nationals in my state next year in may

**7399martyn** · 11-18-2009, 03:17 AM

GJDM. i maxed 105 bench last week but i did that after squats and was feeling kinda tired that day. im going to try 110kg bench this saturday. deadlift is a bit above 180, and squat is like 155ish.

**jellyorjamcuz** · 11-18-2009, 03:19 AM

doing well brah. 1000lb club very soon for you

thought about going on a long bulk to 180 or something? going from 200 -> 240 has made an ASTRONOMICAL difference in my strength.

**7399martyn** · 11-18-2009, 03:37 AM

well. after the australian summer, im planning to go on a long steady clean bulk. im guilty of wanting to retain my abs lol.

abs4dagurls? im planning a nice slow 10-12kg bulk for may next year for the nats. as long as i dont shoot over 20% bf im not really fussed

**Slovakian_Pride** · 11-18-2009, 04:33 AM

that's pretty good squat but ur bench and deadlift are low considering your weight.

**omg_otters** · 11-18-2009, 05:59 AM

Hey man where are you gettin the information from for your sheikos?

Could you post a link?

I'm gonna do one as soon as my current programme is over, I've found a routine but have no idea about what number it is. I'm gonna do it for 3/4 weeks, take it light for a week then max after that. Really hope I see some good gains, I think I might even start a journal about it to track how it goes.

I'm psyched about the volume in this training, seems so intense, can't wait to get started!

@ Martyn - those lifts are sick for your age mate, about the same if not more than me! And I bet I've been training longer too (~2 years now, only the last one seriously though)

Good luck brah

^^ cheers man. sheiko is good ****. but make sure you're eating enough and not trying to cut or whatever, coz i had almost no carbs for the first week and i couldnt recover

**MadeUnderground** · 11-18-2009, 03:00 PM

Good job, man.

I pr'd today too. Did 320 on deadlift, I currently weigh 145, so that's more than 2x my body weight.
I'm bulking to 170 so we'll see what happens.

**purepower88** · 11-18-2009, 03:30 PM

not trying to be rude but whats with the weakness of your big 3? you are a big guy, so you just getting into it or what? gl with everything.

ive tried following a few programs for everything but my best results have been lifting my ass off for 3-4 weeks and then going easy for a week and repeating.

not really JUST getting into it. been lifting properly for just over a year now. but ive always had a big build and stacking on weight and mass just happened while i was strength training. having said that, im yet to plateau out in any significant way (no more then 2 or so weeks) on anything except bench.

and my bench has always sucked. takes me a long time to make gains on it.
