Update 7 From March 4th - 25th. Well I've still been working out and my progress is moving along smoothly, I'm moving more towards volume in my lifts while still maintaining fairly strong weight and it's starting to show, My arms are definitely 18 inches flexed now, my Chest is 51 inches...

Well good luck with those goals, only you know exactly the reasons why you want to hit them. My advice is just go for what YOU WANT and don't let anyone persuade you otherwise. Otherwise it's just a long and difficult correction course before your back in the right place. I myself am going to...

Yeah, my Strength is definitely on the lowside for my weight. I need to stay consistant. I'm just starting my 7th week of training before I hadn't trained for over 5 months! I've basically worked my way up to where I was before... now I got to find the strength to push harder and further then...

Definitely a time to bulk up and a time to lean out. I notice that the fatter I am the faster I build muscle but everyone has thier own ideas of what works. Remember that I'm trying to be a powerlifter and not a bodybuilder. I also do too much cardio for muscle building purposes but it makes...

No your right. I was about 180 and now Im about 245-250Lbs. My bodyfat level is probably somewhere between 19-23% based on my estimates. I just need to keep working hard in the gym to make sure I get good gains.

Update 6, From Feburary 25th to March 2nd. Some gains in this week, definitely getting stronger. Just finsihed 6th week of training and now am in the 7th week. Numbers for the week. Weight: 244Lbs Squats: 205x5 speed was slow but stable on these. Bench: 155x5 Military Press: 100x3, 95x5...

Update 5 From Feb 19th to 24th. No strength gain reported, however it seems like I've leaned out some and strength is about the same.

Update 4 Started Feb 10th, ended 18th My strength is going up fast, much improved over last week. I'm now focusing more on faster movements, if I cannot move the weight at a decent speed I lower it, so all my weight movements are fast and heavy, probably the best way to train for power...

In the first year of training 25-30lbs max with decent genetics after that maby 10-20lbs for a few more years and then 1-10 every year after that.

I wear combat style boots. They might not be perfect but I'm used to them and I still got great stability. I don't even intend to get over 500Lbs on the deadlift or squat so I think they should suffice.

Going into this thread I would of said Dips however I have changed my mind and am sure that it is Military Press. Shame that I have such a puny overhead press but I'll be sure to work hard on it.

Update 3 Started 2-4 Ended 2-9 Much improvement in this week, I feel like I'm really getting into the grove now, a few people have said they think my arms are starting to look a bit bigger so I think the bodyweight excercises are really helping. Weight: 244.2 Lbs Squat: 160x5 Bench: 145x5...

Update #2 Started 1-24-2009 Ended 2-3 2009 Well my strength is definitely increasing , as my numbers attest. I'm 239.2 lbs right now, my numbers have gone as so this week. Pushups - Up to 8 now Pullups - 5 with 30lbs of assist Dips - 8 with 60lbs of assist Squat - 5x75 Bench - 5x65 P.Row -...

Well, I kinda fell off the train when it came to gaining muscle for awhile. I just went with the 3x5 so I can build back up to the 5x5 again. I really don't want to cut right now so I'm still bulking however I am gaining everything back pretty fast and my endurance is good, which was the focal...

For this year, 260Lbs, by the end of 2011: 300Lbs. As for all my lifts I'm just going to try to increase them every week and see how far that gets me.
