    UPPER

    Incline BB / Pull-ups
    -215x4 / 10
    -195x7 / 10
    -175x10 / 9

    Dips / Rows
    -10 / 10 (4 sets)

    Reverse Curls / Pushdowns
    -50x10 / 12 (4 sets)

    Surprised myself on incline. Instead of using a 25 or 35 I just stacked on a bunch of 10's after the 45. Thought a 45 and 4 10's equaled 205 but when I stopped and thought about it later I realized it was 215. Felt good man.

    Plan for 2016: Get shredded. \m/ Below is a quick breakdown of how I will do it. Obviously diet numbers, workout regimen, cardio, etc. may change, but here is where I will start.

    Bodyweight: Will weigh in (dry) every Monday morning at 6:30am

    Diet: Starting calories will be 1900/day (but will likely not lose weight on this amount, but not wanting to go in too low). Will use Myfitnesspal app to record these as accurately as possible. I don't eat out much at all so that should help on accuracy. Not concerned with macronutrient breakdown as I know I get enough protein and the rest are calories regardless, but may reassess this later on.

    Workouts: Split will be Push/Pull/Legs with alternating Power and Hypertrophy (i.e., Push Power/Pull Hyper/Legs Power then Push Hyper/Pull Power/Legs Hyper then repeat). The Power/Hyper portion will be for the main exercises only really.

    Cardio: 30mins elliptical 3 times per week post-workout.

    Supplements: 5g creatine daily post-workout (or at bedtime on offdays). 5g BCAAs during post-workout cardio sessions.

    Progress pics will be taken as needed.

    Alcohol: Not counting these calories, but will stick to liquor with 0 cal mixers. I may reassess this later on.

    Cheats: Will ideally be minimal but I know some will be unavoidable. For those I will just go into the next weigh-in knowing I will be up in weight and move on from there.

    Refeeds: Will not bother with these this early in the diet, but will reassess the need for later on.



    Here are some before pics (much fatter than I was in October lol) as of today, 1.3.16:

    Front 1.3.16


    Side 1.3.16


    Back 1.3.16



    Let's go.

    You've definitely put on upper body mass. Chest, shoulders and arms are all thick as hell.

    Plan looks perfect braj. Are you weighing in every morning or just once per week?
    Lol thanks man! I'm super excited too!

    Weighing in just Monday mornings, I fluctuate too much and can't handle it psychologically to weigh in every day lol.

    Dude those are some heavy ass lunges! What kind of flooring you have in your gym? Always tough especially with the heavy weights to avoid knees bashing on the floor.

    (from 1.8.16)

    Legs

    Leg Extensions
    85x12, 100x12, 115x12, 130x12
    --Warmup

    Leg Press Machine
    90x12, 210x12, 230x12, 250x12, 270x12, 290x12, 310x10, 330x8, 350x8, 370x8, 390(stack)x8
    --Wanted to do squats today but gym was crazy packed even on a Friday!.. Couldn't do squats or fronts or reg leg press or hacks or anything really.. Can't wait for another couple of weeks when these dbags will go back to being lazyasses at home.. I will say this got tough towards the end though.. Did feel good

    Kneeling Iso Ham Curl Machine
    35x12/leg, 40x12/leg, 45x10/leg, 50x10/leg, 55x7/leg, 55x6/leg
    --Felt strong here

    Lying Ham Curl Machine
    80x10, 80x10, 80x10, 80x10

    Side Bends (w/ a 25lb plate)
    4 sets of 12/side

    Various Ground Crunches
    Few sets
    --Abs completely spazzed out and cramped up.. Hurt like hell but needless to say going that entire bulk without really directly hitting abs (abs are never included in those workouts I don't know why) was not a good idea.. Should've done them on offdays or something

    Horizontal Calf Press
    2pps x 15, 2pps x 15, 2pps x 15, 2pps x 12, 2pps x 12, 2pps x 12

    Cardio
    30 mins Elliptical, 7 ramp, 6 resistance (347 cals)


    So I scrapped doing the power/hyper portion of the split. The gym is always packed even at times when it shouldn't be (like usually on Friday nights and after 7pm weekdays), and so having to just do whatever I can do.. Wasn't really possible to do power today on the leg press machine cause the thing is a joke compared to squats, but wasn't anything else available due to how busy it was in there. Will try to include both some power and hyper exercises throughout this regimen to make sure I vary rep ranges/weights, but won't commit to anything as of now. Will re-evaluate this later on after the new years resolutioners go back to their couches.

    Bodyweight (1.11.16): 159.8lbs (-4.0lbs)


    Attributing this large drop to it being the first week back on calorie tracking. I know a lot of it is just glycogen depletion so not too worried. Have been a little low energy last week (and maybe an occasional feeling of hunger) but that's probably just my body getting acclimated to not eating everything in sight like I did in November and December. Keeping everything the same for at least this next week.

    Honestly felt like I really hurt my chest when I got home. Now that it's been about a day it still hurts a bit, but luckily feels a bit better so making me think it's just excessive soreness instead of something like a pec tear. Hopefully will be completely gone in a couple days. Fingers crossed.


    Here are a couple vids of the top two sets of db presses from today though:

    flat db bench press 100x6


    flat db bench press 110x3

    Damn man. You're going to be breaking your old DB pr's in no time. Just switched back and already rocking the 110's. Crazy.

    The 4lb drop is awesome. It's always nice to pick some numbers and get instant results from them. The worst is when you think you're putting yourself in a deficit and you end up staying the same or even gaining.

    My last three workouts...


    PUSH

    Incline BB
    -215x4
    -195x7
    -185x9

    DB OHP
    -60x7
    -55x7
    -50x8

    Dips
    -12, 12, 12

    Pushdowns
    -65x12, 12, 12

    Pretty much the same as last time on incline. I'm going to keep pushing for more reps with those weights. Four reps is a little less than I'm shooting for.


    LEGS

    BB Lunges
    -115x20, 18, 16, 14

    LLRs
    -3x15

    Sit-ups
    -3x15

    Five more pounds and the same number of reps. I'm satisfied with that. I may try to throw front squats back in soon to see if my hip is good to go.


    PULL

    Added a weighted vest for pull-ups. It had 7 little plate things in it. I'm not really sure if they're 2.5 or 5 pounds each. I do t have a human scale to weigh them and I sure as hell am not putting them on my precious little food scale.

    Damn man best case scenario so far. Losing weight on high calories. Awesome.

    Strength seems to be skyrocketing now that you're back to doing your own thing in the gym.

    Have you had any cheats or guesstimate meals so far?

    Yeah definitely happy with the weight loss, just hoping that I can stretch it all out till August lol.

    Definitely have had a couple of guesstimate meals so far, the worst was probably at my brother's house for dinner (nothing really all that bad, just had to pretty much completely guess on everything), but other than that one for the most part I can guesstimate at least close. The vast majority of my meals though are my chicken sandwiches and I know the numbers of every variation of that like the back of my hand haha.

    Bodyweight (1.25.16): 160.6lbs (+2.4lbs)

    Ugh. Obviously not ideal but not going to dwell on it. Had some GI issues over the weekend and was out of town so foods were pretty different and a lot of estimation so yeah. Reducing cals to 1800 per day (still pretty high for me at this weight historically) and keeping everything rlse the same.

    Weight: 194.7

    Well that was a surprise. 190-195 was my ideal offseason weight, but I guess the lack of lifting and eating less,but overall ****tier food has me looking pretty soft at this weight now.

    Finally got a day in the gym so here we go:

    Push
    Flat DB
    50x10
    60x10
    70x10
    80x7
    90x2

    Skulls
    50x10
    50x10


    Superset w/

    Push Ups
    3 sets of 10

    DB OH Press
    45x5 (furfuxsake...)
    30x12
    30x12

    Cable crossovers
    3 sets of 12.5x12

    Superset w/

    SA Tri pressdowns
    3 sets of 12.5x12x12

    V rope crunches
    2 sets 42.5x20

    Superset w/

    Plate side bends
    2 sets of 1px15x15

    PL Incline Press
    1ppsx12
    1ppsx10

    Well, one step at a time...
    Every man is free to rise as far as he's able or willing, but it's only the degree to which he thinks that determines the degree to which he'll rise.

    There is only one form of human depravity - the man without a purpose

    If you don't know, the thing to do is not to get scared, but to learn

    ^Glad to see you getting a chance to get a non-baby lift in P!



    Bodyweight (2.1.16): 156.6lbs (-4.0lbs)

    Looks like a big drop but had that big bump up in weight last week so works out to -1.6lbs over the past two weeks. Still have a lot of time left so assuming this weight is accurate, I should be right on (or even a little ahead of) track. So overall, happy with the number today.
