    Hey guys, I'm Mike. I'm down! I don't consider myself super skinny anymore, but I am still uncomfortable with my weight (6' tall @ 160lbs), so I figured now is better than ever to really put on some weight. I bought an olympic size barbell & some dumbbells recently have started working out on daily basis.

    I also just ordered almost $100 bucks worth of protein powder, trying out the up your mass - cinnabun and the fudge brownie flavors. I also got some x factor molecular nutrition pills as well. I just started my bodyspace, will keep tracking things as they progress

    save the x-factor, you dont need it at this stage it will just be a waste. learn proper nutrition and exercises/intensity first.

    I was in a weight class for a little bit, learned push presses, kettlebell exercises, dead lifts, bent rows, all kinds of stuff. The nutrition i've really been working on lately. Trying to stay away from junk food and I've been alternating between chicken, meatloaf and ribs for protein, green beans, broccoli or mixed vegetables for greens and then for carbs - cereals, pastas, nuts, bread. I've been eating ice cream two times a day, and substituting chocolate milk for soda. I'm not sure how much I should be lifting at home because I don't have a bench, but I did get a barbell that I do curls and push presses on, and then two dumbbells (which I really need to get bigger ones.. 25 lbs not big enough anymore). My weight class really didn't work at all I'm afraid, I learned little to nothing besides different types of exercises. It was never catered to what I should lift (as in lbs) and how many times. I gotta go see somebody about that one =/

    start with something you can do easily for 8 reps, add 5lbs (two 2.5lb plates every workout) and see how long you can progress. when you fail then you have a new 8 rep max to work up!

    Find a routine and stick to it. Substitute squats for power cleans and front squats. Do decline pushups (feet elevated hands on ground) for chest for now till you get a bench (check craigslist, you can find them hella cheap)

    As far as weight goes, just start light and work up with weight once your comfortable and nailed your form.

    Doesnt matter, it can always improve.

    Shoot for a 500lb squat and 600lb deadlift. That should keep you motivated for quite a while.

    Maxing out today. I have lost 7 pounds since starting college, but been getting stronger every day. I'm going to crush the 405+ deadlift (strapless) and take videos of everything. Pepper your anguses.

    Make friends with a blender. (srs) I got my wisdom teeth out over christmas break and I wore out some shakes. Oats, CC, GY, pumpkin, fruit, scrambled eggs, veggies, sweet potatoes, cereal. Don't rush the recover either, if you workout too soon and increase inter-cranial pressure, you could be looking at some pretty serious complications and even more time away from the gym.

    yes, abs are like any other muscle, if you only train them with body weight exercises its like only doing pullups and dips and pushups and trying to get 17" arms .

    Are you still running Texas Method? I gotta get in on that.. Stronglifts doesnt have enough volume.
    I agree about Stronglifts. I did plain 5x5 from January 2012 to September 2012. By about June I had quit making gains and was just going through cycles of stall/deload/repeat. Switched to Madcow and did 12 weeks with absolutely 0 progress. My squat form even started to fall apart. Switched to TM 7 weeks ago and I've been getting gains again. It takes a couple weeks to get it all figured out. My first 3/4 weeks was pretty much just experimentation, overtraining (too much weight for Volume day), I imagine I looked pretty goofed up haha. But I got it figured out. I see you found my log thread, awesome. I really do recommend TM for anyone who's stopped progressing in their LP (SL 5x5, Starting Strength, or what have you). Hopefully I'll see a few more people in my log now!

Don't rush the recover either, if you workout too soon and increase inter-cranial pressure, you could be looking at some pretty serious complications and even more time away from the gym.
    Thabks man for the advice , yeah the blender is on 24/7, but my body isnt so easy to keep that muscle
    Even more frustrating because after my stay in Spain I was looking forward so much to a serious training routine

    Well now I will wait and see... Makes me wanna throw up...
    How long did you stay out because of the operation?
    Please get friends with me on BodySpace / Follow my transformation

    I wanna share as much knowledge / motivation / encouragement as possible
    Thank you for being there!

    Thanks, I've been working on it. Still no gains on the scale though, but oh well. I'm obviously getting stronger, so it's not that big a deal.

    I took a full week away and even when I got back in there, I cut volume and intensity for the first week and basically ran a deload just to let my body get re-acclimated to training and getting beat up during training. Ease back into it, no need to rush. The weights aren't going anywhere, your health is what's important at the moment.

    well if all your after is strength gains then the scale means chit, in fact it will even give you a better weight/strength ratio!

    If the number on the scale goes up, strength goes up.... So it does mean chit.

    And weight/strength means **** in powerlifting. A 220 benching 440 is far superior than a 148 benching 296.

    That's why there are weight classes. Because to a 148, his 296 means the exact same as a 220 pushing 440.

    Of course about the weight class thing, but i do not agree with your statement.

    Lets say youre 165 still and you max a 330 bench. Do you think that "means the exact same" as a 308 benching 616? I dont.
    I think the 308:616 is FAR FAR superior to 165:330, even if it is a 1:2

    I guarantee it'll mean as much to me at 165.
