    Agree! BW dips is still impressive! You don't seem too far (rep-wise anyway) from being able to start adding weight

    I agree. You could add weight to those dips now if you wanted, especially if you do them first rather than last.

    Hey, if you guys get a minute and feel so inclined, check out Nimm's bulking log. He's a nice guy, in a very similar position as Adam, where he lost weight, is bulking, and trying to find his caloric sweet spot. I think he could use the encouragement.

    yeah those are great - i usually have to tame down the poundage when I do them tho by about 10% to adjust for the change in position..

    I just started doing weighted dips a few weeks ago... A combination of triceps tendonitis and my gym not having a dip belt kept me from doing them. I'm at BW + 90 lbs. for 10-12 reps. come at me braahhs

    I'll get there, I'm losing weight so I have to keep adding more weight to my dips haha. Sometimes I get a pain in my shoulder but it goes away after time.

    Yeah dips will indeed hit your anterior delts pretty hard, but to combat this as much as possible I like to slightly lean backwards and keep my legs straight instead of bent to focus the weight more on my tris. The opposite if I'm doing dips for chest -- lean way forward, knees bent.

    I also find going slower on the "dipping" portion of the movement helps reduce changes of shoulder strain from dipping too far down.

    I'm curious what the correct form is for deadlifts in terms of progression from lifting primarily with legs, to back, etc.

    Yesterday when I was doing them I felt my quad getting very strained/worked during the lift and it made it hard to complete the full movement.

    Any advice?

    That first video is the best one I've seen for set up. I think about driving my heels into the ground and plus using my glutes to get the weight up.

    I was thinking about trying an altered split next week and just seeing how it goes.

    I like my current split in terms of duration and variety, but i'm finding certain muscle groups are too sore on days when they get hit as a secondary area, like when my quads were burning during deads, which effected the weight I could lift.

    Here's what I was thinking: 1 day in the beginning on the week (monday) when I do basic power moves: Deadlift, Squat, and Bench, as well as abs.

    Then, I take Tuesday off, and workout Wed-Friday. Something like this:

    Monday POWER DAY

    Deadlift 5x5
    Benchpress 5x5
    Squat 5x5
    Cable Crunch 4x10-12
    Hanging Lef Raise 3x10-12

    Tuesday

    OFF

    Wednesday - Back, Delts, Tri's, Calf

    Chin-Ups 5x5
    Rows 5x5
    Lateral Raises 3x6-8
    Dips 3x6-8
    Seated Calf Raises 4x10-12
    Hack Squat Calf Raises 3x10-12

    Thursday Legs, Abs

    Leg Press 5x5
    SLDL 5x5
    Quad Extension 3x6-8
    Ham Curls 3x6-8
    Cable Crunch 4x10-12
    Hanging Lef Raise 3x10-12


    Friday Chest, Traps, Biceps, Calf

    Inclined DB Press 5x5
    Decline Hammer Press 5x5
    Barbell Shrug 3x6-8
    Seated Dumbell Curl 3x6-8
    Seated Calf Raises 4x10-12
    Hack Squat Calf Raises 3x10-12


    Any thoughts??

    I WAS training at the Golds Gym in Downtown Seattle.. but lately i've been going to the North Seattle location, it's on Aurora about 5 miles from me, and it has WAY more stuff there. The one downtown is super low of weights ONE bench press, ONE squat rack, etc...

    What about you?

    Yeah DT Seattle is a nice facility but TINY! and it's really fitness cluby....I haven't been to the one on Aurora but I know the area all too well. I train at 24hr fitness - usually in Issaquah but sometimes wherever I'm at.

    I like that split you wrote up a lot next week IF you can do it. I just mean to say that personally I would fall apart trying to do that power day!! If you got in you then kill it bro

    Yeah it's nicer and has newer stuff, but the aurora one feels more old school and has WAY more space... only problem is NO A/C!! And damn it gets hot inthere.

    Well this weekend has been fun.

    Yesterday I was a puffy mess - had a pretty salty diet, ate out for dinner, had movie theatre popcorn, probably hit 4k calories easily. Oh well

    Today my schedule is going to be all over the place, and for some reason I feel like an eclectic dinner - just a bunch of random stuff. Plus, I have some things in my freezer I need to use, so what the heck. Here is what I'm planning:

    4 Whole Eggs
    1 Lean Pocket
    2 Pop Tarts (Raspberry)
    1 Trader Joe's Ready-Bake Brownie w/Whip Cream
    Spinach Salad
    Glass of Almond Milk

    This may or may not get me to my calorie goal for the day, so I might have to throw in some other things, too.

    Going to post some stats from my ham + glute day on Friday, went REALLY well and increased weight, too

    Happy Sunday All!

    Damn it's hot in Washington right now.

    Perfect opportunity to showcase some vascularity as basically NO ONE around here has A/C in their house, including me. Tomorrow I am trying out my first POWER day, very excited about it. Feeling very strong.

    I also feel growth in my arms, especially my tri's.

    Sweet dreams all and have a great night!









    The last one is my INNER tricep, in case you can't notice. Very happy with the progress

    Methinks deads + squats same day = death. Maybe just pick out a well-known routine and settle into it for a good while?

    Yeah im curious to see how i handle it. I think if I do deads, then bench, then squat, I might be OK. I know from experience when I squat first my quads won't be able to take the deads, but we'll see. If now, i can always deads + bench and then just squat on my leg day

    I'm still reading through the first few pages of this log, but a lot of it sounds very familiar to what I'm going through with my own first bulk. Thanks for journaling it - it's helpful to hear what you're going through and how you're progressing. Interesting reading, too. Keep up the good work!

    I do squats then deads in my program. It's definitely a challenge, but I love it. You just have to tailor the setup to however you are going to respond best. If you're going to perform better with deads and bench then that may be the way to go, but I'd give the squats and deads a try and just see how you like it.
    Like success, failure is many things to many people. With a positive mental attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order and prepare to try again. - W. Clement Stone

    It's worth a shot. if it comes time to squat after deads or something and I don't have any juice left in my legs, I can also move onto something else... but in a way i'd feel better if I were at least hitting chest and legs twice a week so I can see if it's possible for me.. 52 weeks in a year and if I worked it twice a week that's double the muscle stimulation
