MM107's Bulking/Progress Thread w/ Pics

mm107 said:
ah mY GUARDIAN BUNNY. Yea, When i got my squat criticised, they noticed too that i came up alittle. Will make sure to go flat and tight next time.

Yea, me and my boy are funny we are dumb inside but everyone loves us because we really do push it.

Yea, shes gonna get some YES too. Looks like 2-3 botles is the only way to go. Also is the fat burned permanently gone? or just water sucked out?
Thanks BUNNY!
The only way to permanently remove fat cells (that I know of) is with liposuction.

For the GF, the "booty" tends to respond well to yohimburn, as that area (and most upper thigh) is typically A2 rich... so if she wants to KEEP IT, I wouldn't use it there & follow the leg/glute etc training I recommened in my thread.

I've posted this before by I'll happily post it again... After reading & researching posts, paying close attention to Ulter & Macro, while of course grilling them for all info possible, the YES will accomplish two specific tasks in the area in which it is applied:
(1) remove water &
(2) release the fat

(I'm sure there are more details in Macro speak )

The above statement is true "IF the area is 'problem fat' which is for men love handles, chest, abs. Because it [YES] only releases the fat, you then have to train after you put it on so that you use that fat it released while training."

Hope this helps.
 
hey everyone! ahh THANK GOD! my internet was down all day at work today so ill get this in quick.

Nailed Chest PR again today. 250 went up like cake, no sticking. Quick up. No wristwrap. And NON-PL style bench so my back remained flat and didnt drive too much with my legs.

Chest:
Flat Bench: 135x10 185x10 225x3 250x1 185x6
Incline Bench: 135x10 185x8 185x7
Incline Dumbels: 75x8 80x8 80x6
Incline Fly's w/ cables: 70x10 40x10 70x6 40x5

Biceps:
Machine Curls w/ Green Bands: 60lbs x 10 70x7 70x7
Seated Concentrated Curls: 25x10 30x7 30x7
21's w/ 60lbs: 4 Sets.

Cardio
10 mins on Threadmill. BUT MY SHINS starting tighning up, if you ever read my first post i gained weight due to shin splints junior yr in highschool so i got off after 10 mins BUT i did hit up the STAIRMASTER FOR 6more mins!

TODAY IS DEADLIFT DAY. I think DEADLIFTING is my favorite of all lifts. Dont know why i just feel so fuckin tough doing it lol

Notes:
I am slimming down, Noticable in the stomach area. More defined in shoulder region as well. Still working on my abs, but ill be there. I actually LOVE my stomach now, so anything better is just a plus for me.

Even though im "clean bulking" my strenght is still increasing so im happy with that. BUT I CANT WAIT FOR SUMMER TO END FOR ME TO REALLY BULK UP =]

Also went to see MI3 last night, and BUNNY you would be proud all i got was a DIET COKE! Now you might say big deal, but whenever i got to the movies this is what i purchase. Snowcaps, Raisenets, Popcorn & Diet Soda. BIG DIFFERENCE HUH!

ALSO heres a crazy story i want to share with everyone....
Last Sat night, my girlfriend and I are at a party in Wesbury Long Island(NY). We leave, i dont want to drive because i live decently far from where we were. So i rent a room for the night at a nice, decent hotel. So cut to the chase, its 4:30-5:00. I guess im being very loud and so is nicole, fuck it im a loud guy lol, so then where going at it, i look up, some sicko mother fucker was watching, but not wathcing as if WE left the blinds open accidently, this mother fucker heard us, opened my window and was sticking his hand in my blinds. Needless to say i looked up. Gave a nice scream and i took off after the mother fucker. Couldnt find shit, im standing outside 5am, NAKED lookin for ANY mother fucker to even be outside. NO ONE, NO ONE AT ALL. Ran around for about 5 more mins ASS NAKED but no one can be found.

Honestly i look at it now and say thank god i didnt catch the person i think i would have murdered him/her, since i have that rage problem and that was serioulsy one of the maddest times i have had.

But since i was not satisfied with the service i will be doing aCHARGEBACK ON my credit card, BECAUSE they wouldnt show me the surviliance tape. Crazy shit right!
 
Whats up guys/gals. How is everyone? Great Gym day yesterday. What got me motivated was one of my buddies over at the gym was going for heavy weight. 916lbs Sqaut.. He picked me and 4 other dudes (big guys) to help spot. I had the inner bar next to him on his left. He got it off the MONOLIFT. Semi Sqauted, BUT JUST DIDNT WANT TO GET LOWER, IT WAS TOO HEAVY FOR HIM. if it was 875 he would have nailed it. He got it UP the mono, just couldnt get pararell. THIS WAS SOME MOTIVATION BECAUSE BEFORE HE GOT ME I WAS GOING FOR (375lbs.) NEW MAX. NAILED IT! Felt too GOOD, NAILED 397 afterwards. =]

Back day: Really killed back. Was at gym for atleast 2 hrs.
Deadlift: 135x10 221x3 375x1 398x1 398x1 398x1 350x1 309x1
Bent over Row: 90x10 110x7 110x7 90x10
Single Arm Dumbel Row: 65x10 70x10 75x10 75x10
Lat Pulldown in front:100x10 110x10 120x7 120x7
Lat Pulldown behind kneck: 90x10 90x10 90x10 90x10
Pullups(partner assisted, basically negatives): x5 x5 x5 x5
Back machine for LATS(uses freeweights): 90x10 100x10 135x5

Back day was overload, but i REALLY wanted to KILL back. DEADLIFTING had me so pumped i ddint want to stop. There were several other excercise i wanted to do, but i knew it would be too much.

Notes:
Feeling amazing, very very achy/sore between shoulder blades, exactly what i wanted. I never really killed BACk, i killed deadlifts, but never BACK in whole. Felt good. Really hope working on my LATS improves my bench.

Im dropping FAT. Pants getting little looser, scales droped 1-2lbs. Fat. I use calipers to make sure, Plus my strenght is still increasing. SO I HOPE im not loosing LEAN MASS.

Im broke right now so i cant order my supply of YES, since i need to get 2+ bottles.

Training for me is getting more intense as the weight increases. LOVE IT. Getting very lean up to. Not too lean on the bottom. but i AM leaning out. Abs are starting to become visible. And changes can be seen daily.

Thanks for staying up to date with me!

Thanks BiggTT. Yea i feel i can handle a beating at the gym. I love it. I love working to the point of exhaustion and love the pain the next day.

I eat great, clean right now, all vitamins, nutrients, protien, etc so my healling ability is definatly high. My bench press is going up just by adding some things that we spoke about earlier in my thread about the close-grib benching, kickbacks, and also my LATS for Bunny. My bench is getting stronger and i love it.

Tricep and ABS today. Killed Triceps, only did couple of ab excercises.

Triceps:
CloseGrip Bench: 135x10 185x10 205x5 225x2 175x7 135x20
GloseGrip Bench Burnout. Stacked 5(10lbs) on each side: 145x5 125x5 105x7 85x7 65x7 45x10 65x7 85x7 105x7 125x5 145x5. I Love this excercise w/ drop sets. Really makes the tri feel pumped and burned out.
Overhead Extensions: 50x10 70x7 60x7 60x7
Tricep Kickbacks: 20x10 20x10 25x10 30x9
Tricep Pushdowns: 60x10 60x10 60x10 60x10
Reverse Tricep Pulldowns: 60x10 60x10 60x10 60x10

Abs
Decline bench w/ Rubberbands around shoulders wrapped around bottom of bench, like wearing a backpack. Rubberband really pulls back. Thicker Black Band.

Hooked our feet to the cables, low level and laid on bench. Proceded to pull lefs to chest w/ weight at 40lbs. VERY HARD on lower abs.



Notes:
I tried to wake up at 5:30am today, but couldnt, alarm went off, got up, had everything packed, but just couldnt roll out of bed. Its ok, ill get my AM cardio on SAT or TOMMAROW.

Alot of people at the gym say my traps and back are growing, probably because im cutting now so im becoming more defined.

OH YOU HEARD LATS ALRIGHT! Its funny bunny, yesterday i was gonna take pictures and i was in the bathroom trying to find my abs lol (they are coming in yay!) and i said " my bunny would be proud "

Today is LEG DAY. And im gonna KILL THAT SHIT! Im going to be doing 235x3 deep in the hole this week =]

Ok, atleast ill try to hit 235x3 ASS TO GRASS BABY

SAT & SUNDAY WORKOUTS!

SAT.

Chest- NO SPOTTER DAY.
Flat Bench: warmed up untill 225. (225x2) x 10. Nailed some inbetween weights too. Jumped and hit 235x1.
Flat Bench w/ Bands: 95x3 95x3 95x3 115x3 115x3 95x3 95x3 95x3. Right after we Tried to for my MAX of 240. Missed it. Tried 235. Nailed it 1x.
Incline dumbell: 65x7 70x7 75x7 85x5
Incline Fly's: 25x10 30x10 35x10 35x10

glad to see you are using the bands. how are they working out for you? if you really want to see a difference, try doing your band work first, and then hitting a weight. warm up like you have been, hitting easy triple. then do you sets with the bands. after your sets with the bands are done, take them off, and hit something w/o the bands.
I.E. if you took this workout, warm up to a 185 triple. then do your band work. Don't wave the weight. You should be able to handle doing 9 sets of 3, using 115. then take the bands off, and hit some triples or singles. you will really notice the difference the bands make.

I love the Bands Illimunati. Really do, So your saying Use the bands THEN weight. Only do this on NON Max days right? Since i figure the bands will tire me out alittle.

I do love the bands tho, i want to use them every day but they are harsh on the joints. So 3 out 4 =]

Illimunati, so basically warm up to 185lbs for 3. then slam the bands on, and go for 115 for 3. Of course ill alter the weight to handle only 3 reps w/ the bands.

I know CK i punked out on abs. Ill make sure to hit them again this week. Ill kill that shit!

No Cardio after GYM, only cardio 2-3x week (with the wifey to keep my heart healthy) Plus it will be easier to incorporate cardio into my cutting routine in the future.

MEAL PLANNING!

yes. do these on your non max out days. i like doing it this way. it will really give you a chance to see what the bands are actually doing. you will go to press the weight after taking the bands off, and will notice how much the bar flies off of your chest/.
 
SMART SMART SMART MAN!

So im going to explode the reps. As fast as i can up right? I do this w/ most workouts w/ light weight. no matter the weight i try to get it up as fast as possible.

How many SETS w/ the bands on?

Im no stranger to 15+ sets/day.

I usually do the bands AFTER my sets, next chest DE day i will use them in that order like you said.
 
Hey guys, Long Log update so bear with me!

I took off last friday, had things to do, so took off from work.

Friday - Off from Weightraining.
Cardio: 40 mins on threadmill. Mixed HIIT w/ Reg Cardio. Then Hit the Punching bag for another 15-20 mins. ALL ON EMPTY STOMACH.
Followed up w/ 25g whey in h20.

Saturday - Completely OFF

Sunday

Chest
  • FlatBench w/ Bands: (135x3) x 8
  • FlatBench w/o Bands: 135x10 185x7 225x1 225x1 230x1 235x1 135x15
  • Incline w/ Dumbels: 70x7 75x7 80x5 80x5
  • Incline Fly's on incline bench in cable machines: 60x10 50x10 50x10 70x4 30x5
  • Incline Bench w/ Special Fly Bar(the bar where you have the bar in the air and tap your hands together while bar is in the air): 15 taps w/ 135lbs x 5
Abs
  • Decline Situps w/ Bands wrapped around bench and my shoulders like a backpack: 25 x 4
  • Swiss ball work: 25Left knee/25Right Knee/25Crunches X 4
  • Leg Lifts: Hooked feet to cables and did knee to chests while laying on bench: 50lbs x 10

Notes:
Benching Felt Great. Really Killed that shit. I was doing singles because i had no spot and i really wanted to kill my chest. I was doing 235lbs x 1. I might have gotten it 2x, but i had no spotter so i wasnt gonna risk it. My Shoulders took a beaten do to the bands tho, really can feel em today.

Abs felt good too since im trying to have them completely showing by May 27. Honestly might make it. I can see them now and im really starting to lean out.

I took pics yesterday, but forgot the camera at home. Im also down in weight. Im 185 lbs... Thats 7lbs in 2 weeks. No Muscle loss, I got the calipers out. And i was at 8mm on the calipers and now i am less so i lost BF mostly.

New Goals Besids my Mental Abs Goal of May 27th.
Weeks to Goal: 12
Bench: 315lbs
Sqaut: 315lbs ATF
Deadlift: 500lbs

Its a 12 week goal. The bench press would need to go up 5lbs a week from now to hit 315. No problem. 2.5's are my best friend! But i should be able to maybe go up 10lbs / week if my food intake is high enough/clean.

The Sqaut Should be at 315 soon. I already have a 315box Sqaut so im trying to catch up my ATF.

Im deadlifting 398lbs right now. I hope to improve by 10lbs/week minimum. I will kill that shit each and every deadlift day.

If i do plateu, wich is no problem, i can switch up 1 or 2 things and i should be growing again.

Im rowing like a mofo and working my legs/lats/triceps/back very very hard.

GO ABS GO! looking good!
 
Ya, thanks CK. As i was doing them i was realizing how i punked out on my last set of Abs. I got to get you EF'ers out of my head during the gym lol i feel obsessed, but look it pused me harder and further then i wanted to do, so i guess i LOVE YOU GUYS!

Im also upping my Ab workouts. Not for the "i need abs for summer" but because i need more ab core strenght. I want my abs to be tight as shit so i can blast through a heavy sqaut of pull some serious weight.

I treat my ab excercises like any other excercise. I never really trained them, but now as im going heavier and heavier, i can tell my abs are weak. BUT i will catch them up.

Im also thinkin of splitting up CARDIO + Weighttraining. Only problem is i feel i will be drained for heavy lifting later in the day.

Even tho I SAID i was trying to "cut", i still am, but im eating clean, :Chef: HUGE tho. lol Guess its cool cuz i can see my abs coming in slowly.(Def quicker then i can tell since i seem em daily)
 
Cardio/conditioning work in the AM and lifting in the PM works really well, as long as you refuel yourself throughut the day.

Great Tricep Workout today, W/O Partner wasnt there, so some big guy, named Ron, benches close to 500. Closegrips 316. Wanted me to workout w/ him. He was trying to get me to use the Smith Machine, i wouldnt, he tried but i wouldnt cave.(Thanks to EF). But he loves the hardcore workouts i go through. I scream, i motivate and he loves it. He said i remind him of how he used to workout at the hardcore gtyms.

Today is LEG Day for me, so im gonna KILL THAT SHIT.

Im gonna eat some chicken/broccholi w/ brown rice 1hr before.
Might do some DE work today, with speed, and exploding up. Ill see how i feel!

Might hit up my ABS again, last AB day was SUNDAY. I want to hit ABS 3x week for building my core up. But i dont think i hit biceps in some time so might as well do those.

Notes: Traps are coming in nicely, stomach fat is lowering, feel strong like a bull lol,

I am watching you :)

If it works for ya go for it .. if it doesn't you already know what to toss :)

:wavey:
 
Nice volume with the heavy CGBP sets. that builds you a nice, wide base of strength and work capacity. Yeah, scrap the kickbacks, they are a truly worthless exercise. Personally, I'd just hammer more volume with backoff sets of 8 on close grip and bag everything else, save for some skull crushers or pushdowns for a few high rep sets just for mental reasons so you can leave the gym 'pumped'.

You also got me in the mood for some type of bagel sandwich.

LoL go have one, you lift like a beast. =]

Yea im going to lay off the kickbacks, they really aggrevated my shoulders.

Bunny, yea i know what has to go, its my breakfast, the bacon, its only 1 strip literally. So i know there is fat in it, but i consider it breakfast.

BigTT, do you do bicep work? Is that the reason you like to hammer? I always though hammering was more for tricep, but i recently read it wasnt.

DEF gonna switch tricep work to only, Closegrip/DIPS/Skullcrushers/Hammers.

CK dont worry girl i got you covered on thursday!!! :qt:

Thanks bunny for crackin the whip, im gonna try to find something else to eat morning. Such as a bowl of oatmeal =]
 
I do 4 or 5 sets for biceps once a week. I do a lot of hammer curls, which works the brachialis too. I feel my biceps get enough ork with either high volume chins r rows and they seem to grow without wasting too much time with iso-crap, that I really just do the one exercise a week so I don't get tendonitis from all the heavy pulling. Usually, at th end of my week, I pick 1 exercise, either hammer curls or barbell curls, or standing d-bell alternating curls, and I do 4-5 sets of 8, ot 5x5, followed by a set of 20. My biceps have a tendency to hypertrophy very easily, even with indirect work (can't say the same for my calves though, lol).

Seriously if it works for YOU KEEP IT ... better carb sources = better chances for 6 pack by the 27th ... no :velvett: just keep an eye out for your goal ...

Old fave for my 'treat' breakfast

Slow cooked Oats, with cinn & splenda
w/ Egg Beaters (Garden Veggie mix'd with Cheese-n-Chive) & (Fat Free / SKim Low Moisutre etc) Shredded Cheddar Cheese, pinch Sea Salt & Fresh Ground Pepper, throw a diced up Granny Smith apple on top...

Cheats can be healthy too ..

You KNOW what works for you


look at your progress & pictures :)

True, thanks for the input. My biceps, are fine, not small, i feel they are, but everyone tells me they arent so it must be my bigorexia kicking in. They measured at 16 inches, wich i think they can be bigger/better. Im gonna hit them 1ce a week, but not make them a "priority"

AHHH sounds amazing. The only real reason for my bagel is time. Its quick, across the street from work and taste good.

The oatmeal w/ an apple sounds amazing as it is already w/o all that stuff i can imagine the whole thing right now.

Yea i do seem to know whats working, and if you seen my progress pics that i took yesterday, you can see my stomach coming in smoothly. Maybe not RIPPED up by May27th, but you know what i love the strenght gains that im getting by still eating big. Just have to up my cardio.

LOL Thanks Bunny!!

Happy Hump Day to you!!!

Yea im possitive its not my nuts, lol, im actually holding them so i can pick the shorts high as possible. I was gonna edit it, but i was like fuck it im too tired lol

but it got me, i had to take a double take on my own pics! lol
Thanks for stopping by Bunny!
 
Pics are looking good.

For the 245 x 1 vid I noticed yor heals came off the ground at your sticking point = leaning forward. I think I have this problem also.

Good job on making the lift though, good determination.
 
Hey, just saw the vid & pics. Looking sharp, man. :rainbow:

Heels coming up . . . someone gave me a tip and it really helped: actually lift your toes up and think about trying to pull them up hard. it'll keep you firmly on your heels. Also, and I'm no expert or anything, but for me, I'd have a REAL tough time doing any kind of deep squat w/ those shoes on. I used to have tons of trouble but when i tried squatting barefoot (socks, actually), it really helped my balance. Just a thought . . ..

Keep up the good work!
 
Thanks everyone for the comments.

Yea, i think i know what was making mecome off my heels,

I was using the blue brace for sqautting wich was rolling and i was actually falling foward. I dont use the brace no longer just the bar. And it seriously helped me not lean foward. The damn brace would actually force my kneck down.

Yesterday was DEADLIFT day. Favorite Day. Couldnt hit 4 blue plates (20kg each) on each side, im guessing its from sqautting yesterday my legs and lower back took a beating.

My right shoulder also hurts, probably the stress, but i think it might just be sore. Ill be able to tell later in the day.

Back
Deadlift: 133x5 221x3 309x1 420x0(Missed Lift) 397x0(Missed) 375x5 375x3 375x3 375x3 309x3 309x3. Then Loaded 309 - Lifted Every 30s.
Pull Downs Behind kneck: 90x10 140x7 110x7 130x5 90x7
Dumbel rows: (65x10) x 4
Between Leg Barbel Row: 115x10 125x7 125x5 115x6
Seated Row on cable: 120x8 close grip 120x7 wide grip 150x5 close grip 110 x 10

I dont know why on the deadlift i couldnt keep up with last weeks. Lookin like the plateu is here! lol But seriously i think i just need some time between sqauts and deadlift. I think Bench Monday/Sqaut Weds/Dead Friday will have to be the new routine. lol

Big thanks to Bunny, CK2006, Protobuilder & djeclipse! Really apreciate it!

Thanks to everyone else stopping by!!!

:FRlol:

Agreed with the heel issue.. but nice job :) ...

You're welcome :)

You're aching ... hmm, you stretching? Resting? Icing? Getting that GF to massage ya? Sauna? Hottub?
 
Great work on cranking on the volume after the heavier misses. Still too much fluff work afterwards though, pick one type of row and hammer the volume with them and get great at them.

I agree that it's probably best not to DL heavy the day after squatting heavy. I either like them on the same day, or space them out like Mon/Thurs or Tues/Fri or something along those lines.

I really wanna give you props for killing the volume after the 2 misses, thats what builds the strength.

Yea i was so dissapointed in myself for missing the 400lbs i wanted to break 400 so bad. Fuck it, Theres always another day for that.

Yea your right too much work afterwards, i feel really achy today feels great.
So im gonna cut the back workout to
  1. Deadlift
  2. Bent over Barbell Row
  3. Lat Pull Downs

Yea, im gonna work something out where have a even split between bench/sqaut/deadlift. Im just having a hard time figuring out a good split.

Thanks for the probs BigTT. I got nice video of it too, I was working out there with a kid that works there, he can easily hit 5 blue plates 20kg. each side. He missed his 440 attempt ( he hasnt deadlifted and wasnt warmed up, ive seen him lift heavier) and it really motivated me not to bitch out.

mm107 is my youtube user id, all my videos on on there, im at work now, and cant be surfing too much anymore, but i love my expertpcsupport.com lol

:heart: CK :heart: Ill be visiting ya log in a little bit!! Hope you busted ass!! TODAY IS YOUR LEG DAY !!!!!

Yea, i changed my mind, not a craving too much, just a guilt of my mother making it and it might go to waste. But i got GOALS!

Im prob gonna take off today from weighttraining for some cardio. I LOVE IT! =]

Log update!

Had a decent workout at the gym yesterday. Even tho my shoulder was bothering me. I only worked Biceps+Abs yesterday. I didnt feel it too much on the shoulder.

Biceps
  • Seated Concentrated Dumbel Curls: 25x10 30x7 35x7 25x10
  • Standing Hammer Curls:30x10 35x7 40x5 40x5
  • 21's w/ 60lbs: 4 sets
  • Preacher Curls on Machine w/ Rubber Band Set up: (60lbs x 10) x 4

Abs
  • Decline Bench w/ Rubberbands. Thick Purple Band
  • Swiss Ball work. 23 Crunches elbow to knee(each side) w/ 25 Reg crunch to finsh off.
  • Royal Chair Leg Lifts 2 sets of 25
  • Leg lifts hooked to cables w/ 40lbs Knee to Chest Laying on Bench

Today is Cardio Day =]. Gonna Bust Ass today running. I need some days off. Body is really achy from deadlifting. I dont want time off, but its probably one of the much needed things. Maybe take both Sat & Sunday completely. In fact on SAT i might do some static holds/lockouts. And Sunday Completely off or just cardio.

Notes:
There is a powerlifting woman(ex powerlifter). She saw when we were deadlifting and shes talking about how much she loves seeing us lift because were so young (she thinks around 25, because she keeps saying what i would give to be 25 again lol) Then i tell her about me briefly(weight loss history because she asked how long i was working out for and the 3 months answer really through her off. So i let her know about the knowledge of nutrition i have. She ends the conversation with "We'll you're very hot, dont let it get to your head, but damn you are really hot" Needless to say i was stunned, and said thanks and kept the convo going little bit longer. But needless to say it felt really good because this woman has def been around some big bro's/gals and prob has seen aalot of sexier people thank i am. I was proud of myself lol.

Stairmaster: 6mins w/ 50lb vest on @ Level 8. Then 4 mins w/o vest. Break 1 minute to wipe down. 10 mins w/ 50lbs vest on. @ level 6.

Notes: The stairmaster w/ the vest was killing me. Not leg wise too much this time, but cardiovascular system really got taxed. Unlike the threadmill, the stairmaster is low impact so it really saves my shins. I was DRENCHED after the stairmaster. I loved it actually. I could feel every muscle getting tired below the waist and my HEART RATE was flying. My goal on the stairmaster is 10 mins vest on/10mins vest off/10mins vest on @ level 8.

Bunny, My diet was GREAT for a weekend diet of mine. No junk really. And remember how we didnt like my morning meal too much? Well changed it up. For this week im going to have:

Oatmeal w/ Blueberries + Some Milk(nonfat)
Splenda
Protein Shake
Apples

My stomach is flattening/tighning up daily. I have also dropped some fat on the chest region, i think. But my stomach is more and more noticeable eveyrday. I figure I AM holding some h20 due to the sodium/ soy i eat everyday with the steamed chicken/broccholi/ brown rice. plus the MSG. SO i feel if i HAD to i could water deplete and looked ripped. im not going to since i dont have to.

I swtiched up the workout routine for this week. Im trying to hit a nice high number (420lbs) in the deadlift. I dont want to sqaut the day before deads.

Monday:
Sqaut
Abs

Tuesday
Triceps
Biceps

Wedsnesday:
Deadlift
Back work

Thursday
Bench
Shoulders(Light)

Friday:
Either Off, or Cardio day
Abs

Saturday:
Triceps
Chest

Sunday
Cardio Only Day or Off.
Abs

For the Days where is cardio only, or day off its most likely cardio day. Im addicted to the gym and when i need time off ill take it, but i got goals i need to reach so i need to bust ass!

Thanks for the read!!!!!

Be safe
MM!
 
I gotta' get me one of those vests! Sounds like FUN!!!!!

LOG UPDATE!!

Monday, May 22, 2006

Great Gym day today, really felt good. Hit some Great #’s. I know I will feel it today. Actually not even today, most likely Wednesday lol. Blew my max out on the Squat!



Legs *New PR for ATF Squat*
Squat: Warmed up to 185x10, 205x5, (225x5) X 4, *275x2*, 185x10 135x10

Back
Deadlift: 133x10, 221x3, 309x1, 398x1, 420x0(missed lift), 309x5

Notes:
Great Gym Day. Blasted a Squat PR. Told myself and partner I was going to rep out 225. BUT I felt great so I wanted to TRY 275. I nailed it 2x =]. I did it 2ce because I didn’t think I went too far down past parallel, I broke the plane but I like DEEP squats so I made sure the second one I got down w/ a pause.

I wouldn’t normally Deadlift on squat day, because of the stress, but im really trying to kill that shit and hit 420 on the god damn Deadlift. Felt really loose from squatting so went ahead and decided to Deadlift. Glad I did =]

Today I go ahead and kill Chest + Triceps, changed it up from my previous stated routine, because I want to have a max effort chest day, so if I hit triceps or shoulder before CHEST I wont have my max effort.

Looking for MANDATORY Triceps exercises

Close grip Bench
Dips
Skull Crushers


Are the three big guys in my arsenal? I will also do, triceps pushdown and pull downs.

Chest I will make sure to hit

Flat
Flat w/ Bands
Incline dumbbells
Incline Fly’s


Im going to MAX out today, so the bands after a max attempt should really kill me.
Thanks everyone for staying updated!

Simmer Sweetie ... my 'credit' was due to my past experience of misreading / misconstruing / & misinterpreting things people say on forums, IM’s emails and the whole internet in general.

Do I think you lie? NO

Cheat? NO

Full of shit? Hell nah, I've seen those baby blue eyes ...

Is it NOT obvious by my prior posts & support that I do value you, your thoughts, help, SUPPORT, TIME, critique, opinions, and EVERYTHING you bring to this site? For male & female forums alike?

Are you sure you wanna call ME out like that?

We love you here mm ... :rose:
 
Bunny? Call you out hell NO....

sorry if it sounded like that my bunz!

you just have so much persuasion on here and all of EF.

"but I am NOT going to assume and If I am incorrect I apologize 100% ... I am also confused"

I was hoping, instead of being confused, i would have heard "no way"
Thats why i said, i was upset that u might have believed him! i was trying to talk to directly, let you know i was upset that you might have thought i was lying because people have lied here, BUT i just let ya know i havnt lied about a thing on here, i just rearead the thread, it could sound like im trying to pick a itty bitty fight with my motivator!! NO WAY!

I LOVE YOU BUNNY, I DIDNT CALL YOU MY BUNNYZ!

First off i am not jealous,i looked better then that before i started training. Second i wished the guy luck on his goals also.I am not buying his chest size thats my choice. If your bent out of shape over then maybe i am right...Pound for pound theres no doubt in my mind 45.5 aint there..if i am wrong you should be benching like 300 easy...Maybe after working out and squeezeing as hard as you can...Enough said...I didnt down your silly little thread just your adding..So save the drama people and move on like i am...
Once again good luck..if you need some get BIG tricks let me know... :rainbow:
 
no offense MM, but I'm not sure why you're being called on a 45" chest.. 55" maybe (although that kind of bullshit only happens in the roid & C&C forums).. but 45" isnt freakish

not that its small, but seem about right for someone who does his deadlifts (back size adds a lot to a chest measurement, mine is 52" after a torso workout and my pec are teeny)
 
I just measured my chest for the hell of it (never measured chest before). My lifts are about the same as MM's here. Though he has higher 1 rep maxes as I haven't trained the 1 rep range at all.

My chest is also 45" cold (back and pecs flexed).

Like Tweakle said most of the chest measurement is back, and if he's doing deads, rows etc. The size is not out of proportion to any of his lifts here.

Here is a link to my journal if you want to call BS on it also... lol

http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=471637

Also, if you are simply questioning the 45.5" chest measurement, why not just say so instead of being so condescending?

Seriously, why does someone have to come onto a serious journal, that includes pics & vids, and cause a fuss??

Somebody's bone structure and back width plays a huge role in a chest measurement....plus tendon strength and % of fast twitch fibers play a role in low-rep strength, while endurance and % of slow twitch fibers play a role in higher rep performance......citing your own personal numbers as the world standard and calling BS in a condescending, insult somebody's intelligence way, on somebody who is a solid contributor with proof of his stats no less is child shit. I've seen 280lb guys with low bodyfat lift like pussies and I've seen wiry, 175lbers who were weightroom studs.....tape measures are for cock sizes, they mean nothing in the world of performance.

AND, like Tweakle said, all vid and pic proof aside, lol, the kid never claimed a 55" chest with a 28" waist or something ridiculous......The training board is a good place these days, and this journal is one of the big reasons. I'd like to see the crap kept on C and C and BB.com

You must spread some Karma around before giving it to BiggT again.
 
Hey MM.

Seen you around some other logs I subscribe to and thought I would check you out.

This is a great journal because it's real; you're working hard and able to visibly demonstrate progress while motivating others at the same time.

I'll be checking in every day, look forward to more of your progress.

(Looked at all your pics thinking, damn, wow, he's getting hotter by each take, then realising, oh 20 next birthday and then that I'm old enough to be your mother, LOL)

Hope having an older work-in-progress female subscribe to your thread doesn't ruin your street cred :qt: ;)

Keep it real.
 
Hey everyone, just checked back in, thanks Everyone for honestly having my back, I know this is the online world, but still, I really appreciated it!!

This dude had me thinking 45 inch chest was freakish, then I thought maybe I measured wrong, but but nope. If anything its alittle bigger now.

Had a Decent workout, not too crazy. Flat bench, I just totally sucked ass. Incline dumbbells, now that’s another story =]

I was so pumped for chest day, that I went and had an aqua message at the gym and a nap 3 hours before the gym lol.


Chest + Triceps

Chest
Flat Bench: warmed up to 185x10, 225x5, 275x0(missed), 260x0(missed), 225x3, 185x10, 135x10 135x7
Incline Barbell: 185x7 185x7 205x3 185x7
Incline Dumbells: 80x7, 90x,7 100x5, 100x4
Incline Fly’s on Cable Machine: 40x10, 50x10, 60x7, (70x3 drop set 30x4)

Triceps
Close Grip: 165x7, 225x2(board pressed), 165x7, 165x5
Dips: 90lbs+bw @ 7 Reps, 90lbs+bw @ 5 Reps, 90lbs+bw @ 3 Reps, 45lbs+bw @ 5 Reps, just bodyweight @ 8 reps
Skull Crushers: (85x5)x4
Seated Overhead Extensions w/ Hammer Curl Bar: 65x8, 65x7,65x7,65x7
Cable Push Down: 80 x 10, 80 x 10, 90x5
Cable Pull Down: 50x10,60x10,50x7,50x7

I know a lot of Tricep work, but the Cable, I don’t include as a real workout, just as a mental boost because of the pump I get, so I bang em quick.

The Skull crushers & Seated overhead extensions I LOVE them, that’s why I do them. But the closegrip bench and DIPS are my Most important Tricep work.

I might take off today, maybe go and run, and have of completely tommarow. We have a Deadlift competition on Friday, not a real competition, but since I started deadlifting I fell in love with it. But a bunch of us at the Gym, 2 workers, My taining partner and I, and another training buddy all deadlifting Friday. Its gonna be amazing. Now I would say im the 2nd weakest person deadlifting (next to my partner lol). The 2 guys at the gym can pull high numbers. One is 165-170 and can pull 500+ Amazing, doesn’t look like he can pull for shit. Small/ short/ 14.5 inch arms, etc. But boy can he pull. The other one is the kid Joey I talk about. He can pull around 450. Its gonna be a lot of fun, and im bringing my camera to catch all lifts on tape. Should be some nice big pulls. We literally all worked it out so we Deadlift on Friday. Its gonna be GREAT!

I really wanted to make sure you guys/gals really get the thanks you deserve!

:heart: Bunny, :beer: Tweakle, djeclipse, BiggT, sgtslaughter :beer: , mermaid, :heart: Honestly I really appreciate it, I thought I was gonna have to come on here and have a typing contest to prove myself, really appreciate that no one asked for it. Thanks guys for honestly being good people over here on EF! K to ALL!

:beer:

mm - read the Seuss quote in Merms sig & and the one I just posted... totally understood ... You or your log are not going anywhere if I can help it ...

now get to training ... ^^ the test up in here dang ... too much estro :D

:velvett:
 
You must spread some Karma around before giving it to *Bunny* again.

Ahh as always kindest words =]

funny you mention that... coz i seem to recall a certain 2001 who posts regularly on those forums... :rolleyes:
 
Try and get video of that deadlift competation if you can... it sounds lie fun, I wish there were other people at my gym to deadlift with.

where is "here"? C & C?
 
DEFFF Gonna be bringing the camera in on friday and PULL MY ASS OFF!

yea, us and them. The millions of Karma usually give it away!(CC'es are loaded with it lol)

C&C = Chat and conversation =]

djeclipse, yea im lucky, my gym is a great private gym. All the workers know me and my partner, so they love us too, plus were crazy and do real lifts wich everyone loves too.

Im gonna rest well for it Friday.
 
ya, you are lucky, don;t ver change gyms, lol

It's funny, the only section I ever check out is this one, I see no point in going anywhere else.

Well every once in awhile I look at the chich section, but I'm not a plat member so I can't see the goods anyway. Except for Bunny, she's nice and thinks of us non-plat members when posting pics, lol.
 
Just thought I'd hop on the thread to say that MM107 you did a great job and came a long way with the fat loss and muscle gain. Bodybuilding is all about competing with yourself, beating personal bests, achieving goals you set out to achieve and looking better with each and every month. Comparing yourself to anyone else defeats the purpose. Good luck and continued progress.
