Sonny Gettin' Swole

[sonnydfrizzy]

College student. 19 years old. Male. Bulking hard. Acquiring size and strength.

Started my bulk at 5'11" and 125 pounds in July of 2013. Mentally I was in an awful state with a serious restrictive eating disorder. Fast forward to today and I am currently on a semi-dirty bulk running a pretty large surplus so I can get my strength up. Shooting for 1 pound a week gain and will slow it down as my weight increases. Don't track macros, just calories and protein.

Pre-Bulk Stats:
-- 125 pounds bodyweight
-- 105 x 5 Bench
-- 115 x 5 Squat
-- 155 x 5 Deadlift

Current Stats
-- 156 pounds bodyweight
-- 150 x 5 Bench
-- 175 x 5 Squat
-- 250 x 5 Deadlift

Goals:

Squats with Sonny (Yesterday's Lift)

MW: 156

I hit some crazy high rep burnouts on squats today and I honestly had many more in the tank but my conditioning and my lactic acid build up was so bad that I had to call it quits. The only vids I got were the chitty ones my friend took on piss poor sets. May upload if Hostel doesnt givafuq?

Duration: 55 minutes

Feels:
-- Loaded up a 5 pound PR from last session with 170 and hit it easy. Threw on 175 and hit it easy.
-- Set of 3 on 175 was misgrooved. I had the strength in me easy.
-- 20 pound PR on Romanian deadlifts. Pissening strength gains of sithening sickness

For Critique



Last set misgroove on the 3rd rep so racked it. Had 5 in me easy like the first sets.

Upper Hyper with Sonny

MW: 156.4

Hit this session fasted. Was feeling a short rest, high-ish rep "pump" day with the goal to set some rep PR's. Early to bed early to rise on the grind today. School cafeteria didn't open until 11:30 for brunch so I went to the gym at 9:30. Coffee and french vanilla creamer pre-workout of peace. Going to the store later for grocery gains.

Duration: 49 minutes

Feels:
1. Intensity and focus was on point today. Flew through this session with speed and aggression.
2. I really like the incline/decline combo I did today. Tri's and Bi's feel fried after sessions like this. No reason to do much isolation work for them IMO.
3. Rest day tomorrow. Then legs on Tuesday. LEGGGOOO

Candito? Is that you?

[MikeWines]

Good to see the volume ramping back up...

[connorpat1995]

In for a helluva bulk. Get at it sonny

[sonnydfrizzy]

^^^^ Ayyyooo Mike that was all very submaximal and not taxing dude. If I do not PR next session (whenever it may be) then I will eat my socks and paint your house.

Today's session is literally 10000x easier than a 3x5 srs. I had like 2-3 reps left in the tank all day long. Higher rep days done submaximally and not to failure have done me wonders with being able to recovery while simultaneously adding weight to the bar when I feel.

A lot of what I do NOW is autoregulated and I just keeping adding weight and reps to the log book and if I don't make progress after back to back sessions then I reevaluate sleep, volume, nutrition, etc.

You go do some submaximal pump work and then do 3x5 heavy bench and rows and tell me which is more taxing. These joints and ligaments ain't loyal to the low rep sets all year round. Its cold out here too srs. I always have aches whenever there is a seasonnal change.

[doughnutgut]

I am here to keep you accountable for your actions.


Suggesting that you record all PRs and put them in here in video format. (with weights on the bar shown)

You place your starting journal weight at the top of your workout posts. Then below it, your current weight.

Once a month or fortnight you add a photo of the scale number. (no cheating)

Adding a plus/minus total to compare from the start of this page.

These simple items will keep you and us following, up to date with the scale progress.




I don't care for toffee what your macros are. I care for how you go about STICKING to the plan ahead. I have followed you long enough to know that this is now time to action what you have currently achieved so far.

There are others in this thread right now who have been there. Done that. And are making it happen.


Are you going to be one of them followers? Or are you not?



You know how it works buddy. Now get it on.

I like all these DnG. Give me some reminders every so often to post up what you said above. Life can get in the way sometimes and it makes it tough to keep up with the journal.

All the above is noted. Hop on board for an epic ride brah

he knows whats up

Amen Determined. Amen. And welcome

**Pardon the poor quality.


I have hit the body fat percentage of no return lol no more lean gains. Feeling fulked. #teamFluffy

[determined4000]

but are you healthier and happier now then at 130?
Do you actually have a life now?
Is slightly higher BF% worth strength, relationships, life, etc.?

[doughnutgut]

Your not fluffy.

Your in need of a solid program and a good consistent macro target being achieved.

As for you needing a reminder to put your scale weight up. It aint difficult. Put it into your sig as a reminder. Change the wording under your avi name to something like BW +/-.

Anything to keep you reminded.

After all. It is one of the main focuses after persistent faffing about.

[sonnydfrizzy]

Yes yes and yes to all the questions. Plus, bulking is the hard part and the thing most people NEVER do. You wanna make it? Sacrifice leanness, stay consistent, and cut when need be. It's a marathon not a sprint. Add some size, add some fat, cut a bit, rinse, repeat until desired physique.

Plus, I have no intentions of doing this for a living and give no fuqs about how I look without my shirt lol

fill out a tee? Yes? I'm happy.
life is stress free when you just eat and lift and acquire a degree, friendships, girls, and size. Cutting is easy. I did it for 2 years haha unintentionally for the most part. If I feel the need to cut then I will. But the gain train ain't stopping anytime soon.

Life is 10/10 right now.

All great ideas DnG. I will implement now.

Be ready for the full of peace.

No need to sugar coat it though. I got no mass and some fat. Legs have filled out like crazy though. Anterior pelvic tilt is being corrected. Back isn't neglected. A balanced physique is in the making.

Cutting is easy man. Anyone can be skinny. But heavy and ripped and ox like strength??? Haha very rare.

I want people to question if I'm natty I get so big lol I realize it will take time, but i could care less how long it takes. I'm in it for a while. I also love food wayyyyy too much right now to ever cut hahaha #fattyatheart
