Sup guys?
I've been lifting for a few months at home, not taking the whole thing seriously and not making much progress as a result. Now I got a gym membership and I really want to do this right. I thought this might help me keep track of my diet and workout plan and also motivate me...
I think the title is very fitting; it suits me and my goal... (To not be skinnyfat and weak)
(and to no longer be a little bitch)
I'm kinda too self-conscious to post pics of myself right now, but in a few weeks when I look less ****ty I will have progress pics.
Stats
Height: 5'9
Weight: 160lbs
Bodyfat: ~17%
1rm's
Bench press: 135lbs
Deadlift: 200lbs
Squat: 145lbs
Overhead (bb) press: 70lbs
Bicep curl (db): 60lbs
Pullups (max): 9
Here's my split
Wednesday: Abs, legs, cardio
Saturday: Back, traps, biceps, forearms
Sunday: Chest, shoulders, triceps
Some short term goals
165 on bench for 8 reps
Deadlift 315 for 1rm
Get more vascular
Get under 10% bodyfat
Get a 6 pack
Get 14inch arms, lol.
I would love for my chest to grow. As it is right now, my stomach actually sticks out a little further... Not because I'm really fat or anything, but I have bad posture (swayback), which really ****ing sucks... Even though my chest is bigger than my waist, my stomach seems to stick out more and seems to be bigger. It's super gay and gives my body a bad shape.
Also it would be cool if my forearms and triceps got bigger and my abs and shoulders got more defined.
In reality EVERYTHING has to get bigger and more defined, but those are the things that bother me most.

So that's it. I'll be doing pretty much the same thing for the next few weeks to see how it goes... My biceps are ****ing killing now, I think it was the 21's. I'm dropping those.. I just wanted to give them a try.
Any suggestions welcome.
I'm heading to the gym soon for chest/shoulders/tris.
Also I started my diet today, I'll post that later too"I like hotels, I enjoy the little soap. I pretend that it's normal soap and my muscles are huge!"- Jerry Seinfeld.

You're simply doing too much for your level of development. Focus on getting stronger on the main lifts (bench, deadlift, row, squat) with a few accessory lifts here and there and you'll be yolked in no time.
EDIT: That, of course, is probably not what you want to hear, but any gains you get form this program will be short lived.

thanks bro
Ya, I know I did a lot in that workout, I usually don't do so many isolation exercises, but I just wanted to give it a go since I had tons of new equipment at my disposal after joining the gym. I?ll be dropping the 21?s and probably won?t do the grip training either since deads take care of that pretty well for me right now."I like hotels, I enjoy the little soap.

when you begin lifting your going to be EXTREMELY SORE after 2 weeks or so of dedication you dont get sore anymore as long as you give your body proper supplementation (2 weeks is just for me,dif for everyone) and your also going to see some pretty amazing gains when you start because most of our bodys before lifting are extremely undeveloped.Hate to tell you but those gains are going to slow down also i didnt have time to analyze ur whole workout plan but make sure you arent doing multiple excercises with the same range of motion because chances are you arent doing anything different and can lead to unbalanced gains.

Don't be a dick, dude. I told you I'm just trying out new things because I've just joined the gym.
Thanks for all that, man.
I haven't begun lifting only now; I've begun lifting seriously and taking my diet seriously only now. And I've never seen noob gains =/ and I don't think I'll get them even now... unfourtunatlyLast edited by relativemuscle; 02-16-2009 at 01:24 AM.

My diet;
I'm just eating to get cals and protein right now... Haven't really done macros or anything like that. After a month or so I'll cut it down and clean it up to focus more on losing fat, but this is what I've been eating for a few days now.
3:30am (wake up)
-shake;
-1 scoop whey with water
5:30am
-2 whole eggs
-1/2 cup egg whites
-1/2 cup green peas
-banana
-2 slices ww toast
8:30am
-1/2 can (lil more than 1/2 cup) kidney beans
-pb&j on ww bread
-apple
11:30am
-rest of kidney beans
-2/3 cup white rice
-a bunch of broccoli and cauliflower
2:30pm
-chicken OR steak
-baked potato w/ salsa
-some kind of veg
6:30pm (go to bed)
-shake;
1/2 cup oatmeal
2 eggs (12g protein, I think)
2 scoops whey (40g protein)
750ml skim milk (27g protein)
Post workout (3 days/week)
-shake;
-1 scoop whey with water
So I guess that would be in the area of 2700cals.. or a little more, I don't really know. And somewhere around 180g of protein... or a little more.Last edited by relativemuscle; 02-16-2009 at 12:13 PM.

Another thing is, I won't be sticking to my diet right now... I'm just not motivated and I don't care about fat gains or any of that at the moment... I'll still be getting lots of protein from good sources, but I won't be eating as clean as I should be.
When I'm more motivated sticking to a diet will be easy, I've done it before, I just can't seem to care right now..."I like hotels, I enjoy the little soap. I pretend that it's normal soap and my muscles are huge!"- Jerry Seinfeld.

I tried another back exercise after seeing it done by a guy in the gym a few times... I don't know what it's called and I can;t find it anywhere, but it involves standing in between 2 cable towers with your arms placed as if you were doing overhead cable curls. You bring your elbows to your side as if you were doing a really wide pullup... I hope that explains it. I did 4-5 sets of that but did not feel much because I used very little weight since it was my first time trying it. I'm gonna try again next week.

I'm really happy with my squats and deadlifts. A few weeks ago I couldn't even do 1 rep of the weight I can now do for 5 reps. So that's great. Also my hammer curls have gone up among other things. =]
Next week I'm going to see if I can add 5lbs to my bench and do 5x5 with that. If I had to guess I'd say I won't be able to, though."I like hotels, I enjoy the little soap. I pretend that it's normal soap and my muscles are huge!"- Jerry Seinfeld.

Were taken sometime last week.
I suck at posing, probably cause I don't have much muscle to flex... But these will do their jobs for comparison in a few weeks.
The lighting is kind of cheap, but even it doesn't help too much..

I woke up at 1am and had nothing to do, so I went to the gym. I think going so much earlier than I normaly do affected my workout.
I had taken pics of myself in the locker room, but they are all over-exposed! I'll try again tomorrow.
-Unfortunately I couldn't increase my bench like I had wanted to, If I had a spotter I would have at least tried, but I went to the gym alone today.. But that's O.K, I'm sure I'll add 5 pounds to it within this month.
-Military press has gone up

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I pulled a muscle in my back while doing deadlifts. Deads are the second exercise I do, which meant that my entire workout was ****ed from the begining. I left soon after, realizing I would just hurt myself more if I tried to go on working out. Goddamnit...... Oh well...
I did manage to deadlift more than usual, though.
I didn't pull the muscle due to the increased weight, I was handling the weight fine, but then on my 2 last sets I decided to try lowering the bar a lot faster than I normally do (Not because I couldn't hold the weight up. I just always saw people doing it like that). On my last set, the left side of my back tightened and the wind was kind of knocked out of me for a second... I thought "oh ****, what happened?" and I could barely bend over or do any kind of rowing motion involving my left arm.
I was lifting 205 easily which was amazing considering I had just barely been able to do 205 for 2 sets last week.
I wanted to see if, after lifting 205 for 4x5 I could 1rm 225 for a new personal record, and I figured that lowering the bar quickly would help me save energy for that lift... But in the end I just ****ed myself over...
So... todays workout;
Assisted pullups
-75lbs x 12
-75lbs x 12
-75lbs x 10 (fail)
Deadlifts
135lbs x 5
205lbs x 5
205lbs x 5 <-Decided that I was gonna try 225 after finishing my sets
205lbs x 5 <-Started lowering the bar quickly to save energy for the 1rm attempt
205lbs x 3 <-Where I ****ed up
?? 225lbs x 1 ?? <-I'll know next week (hopefully)
After I hurt myself, I did some really painful stretching thinking that maybe it wasn't so bad and I could continue atleast doing traps and bis and kind of salvage the workout... But no, I just decided to go home.Last edited by relativemuscle; 03-07-2009 at 06:50 AM.

Lmao. I was out-squated by a skinny girl today... Just wow...
Today;
Some cardio, legs and abs
I tried something new during squats which I saw in Cutler's video 'From J to Z'; I stood with the heels on some small weight plates so that my feet were on an angle. I think it helped with my balance. Also I tried to widen my stance because it was pretty narrow before, that REALLY helped with my balance. Next week I'll lose the plates but keep the wider stance.
ABS
Leg raise on parallel bars
10 then hold for 10 seconds, then 10
10 then hold for 10 seconds, then 5
10 then hold for 10 seconds, then 5, then 5 knee raises (failure)
LEGS
Squats
45lbs x 10 (warm up)
125lbs x 5
135lbs x 5
135lbs x 5
135lbs x 4
Legs press
90lbs x 12
180lbs x 12
Leg extensions
90lbs x 12
80lbs x 12 (failure)
Seated calf raise
35lbs x 12
70lbs x 12
Standing calf raise

I did not do back this week because it's still a little sore... I'll have to wait an extra week to see if I can deadlift 225lbs. I'm really pissed about that, I wanted to know if I could do it. Btw, I should mention, I do Romanian deadlifts.

My back is STILL sore. I keep putting it under stress from work, I gotta lift pretty heavy stuff there. It's a little better, though, and I'm just praying it'll be good next week. So now it's been 3 weeks since I've worked my back... I hope my deadlift hasn't decreased any. I know I can get a 225 dl, even for more than just a 1rm.
Some ****ING AWESOME news though. A vein on my chest popped out during my workout today. I'm so ****ing physicked about that. I'm getting my diet in order now, to lower by body fat and get more vascular.
