5'8 1/2"
210lbs
BF=?
Looking in the mirror it's probably 17%.
It's hard to say because I have seen picks of 15% BF and I think I look a little chubbier, but then again, I have more muscle size then the pictures I saw which were of some average non-lifter type joe. Hard to say.
What's you height, weight and BF%?

Ya, I kinda like being my height at times, actually alot of the time.
I appear physically bigger than alot of people because of my height and my solid bone structure. It sounds like you did what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna bulk up to 250-260lbs and then lean down to 215-225lbs at 10% which is pretty fuggin yoked at 5'8 1/2" imo.
I find losing bodyfat pretty easy if I actually focus on it. SAme with building muscle which I find pretty easy as long as I eat, sleep and workout enough. But, I"m an endo-mesomorph so I tend to add chub fairly easily as well as muscle. I don't stress though, because I know I can cut it later.

Chest Day BIaTCH....
Barbell bench- warmups-180x3,3,5,5,5,10
WTF!? FElt like I coulda have done 11 maybe 12. Mid 3rd set I felt like switching to 5x5 for awhile which I had planned on doing, but I just instituted it right there during the set lol. I'm a weirdo haha. Well I was gonna do a 4th set of 5, but when I hit 5 I was like man, I got alot more in me, so then 6,7,8,9,10 and rack. Definitely had 1-2 more reps in me. VERY happy about that.
DB Bench 70's x1x10. Gonna do it for 1-2 more workouts before I go up to the 75's. I want to own this weight.
Incline barbell 140x1x1-12? Forgot, but I know I did 10.
CAble flye 60x1x8. Didn't rest long after the incline so my chest wasn't fully recovered yet. Got some pump in the chest.
Top notch incline situp/crunch BW+25x1x6. Wasn't feeling the abs today all that much. Contraction not that great, but not bad.
CAble crunch 120x1x20+
Stability ball crunch with 25lbs plate held at arms length. These hammer your abs man. Require some arm strength too. 1x15
Overall a good workout. Great on bench and incline! Standard the rest. I'll go to 185x5x5 for next workout and stay at 70's and 140 for DB bench and incline. Cable flye stays the same.
LEft the gym with alot of reserve in me. Might be cuz I'm 4 days in on my second cycle of 1-AD, might be just a great bench day, might be cuz I slept 21 hours this weekend on Friday and Saturday night, or it could be all of the above combined. Who knows. HAHA!
Bodyweight 213lbs.
Bodyfat? WHO CARES FOR NOW lol........

Awesome shit bro,
But for real if you are hitting a weight for 10 on your 6th set, and you are thinking of hitting 5x5...then...STOP FUCKING AROUND and boost the weight bro! You should be pretty wiped at the end of your 5th set! you should prob be hitting 205 for 5x5, and also go up on the DB press, if you can hit 2 sets of 10 of the weight, then go up, stop hitting the same weight, cuz your not taxing your muscles enough!!
I like your workouts for abs, I am starting to use more weights involved now, cant mess with teh cable crunches cuz we only really have 2 cable machines, and they are always packed! You got to be pretty good size already if your 213 at 5'9, cuz I am 6' and my goal weight is 215...LOL
you ust want to get huge!!
Peace

Thanks man.
I'm bigger than average bone structure and muscle wise. Most people say I look thick which is fine by me. Definitiley not lean, but not quite chubby either. Ya, I do want to get HYOOGE then cut down lol.
As for the barbell bench. I always train hard and I've been adding 5lbs a week to it for the last 9 weeks since I started training. I've been doing a 10x3 set scheme which I really like, but during the workout I felt I was ready to switch to 5x5 for the next 2 months or whatever. Until I feel a need to change again ya know?
AS for the 10 reps, I guess I just didn't realize how much reserve I had left in me after doing the sets of 3 since I started training.
I'm not gonna get greedy though. I'll go up my scheduled 5lbs and keep on plugging. I'll hit 205x5x5 in about 2 months. Thats not bad for 4 months of training. Actually I think that's pretty damn good imo. I'm coming back from a 9 month layoff.
I just don't want to rush it. I like to add weight whenever possible, but I like to go up when I can do a weight 2 workouts in a row usually. Also, I don't train to failure.

Interesting day.
Trained with the powerlifters in my gym. They are natural lifters and I believe it.
Saw a 30 something year old guy squat 340lbs at 160lbs bodyweight? Not bad. Almost got 375lbs.
A 50+ guy squatted 475lbs and had some more in him.
Another guy there competes at 242 I believe and the guy looked like he was 280lbs. He was yoked! Think his total is 2100lbs. He seems to be the head guy, sort of a coach and training partner in one. Good guy. Actually, they all seem to be pretty cool and good natured, albeit intense. MY kinda attitude.
They invited me to start working out with them Mon-Tue-Thu-Fri which are my usual days anyway. Obviously my bodypart schedule is gonna change and how I split it all up, but this is GREAT!
I am gonna learn so much. I love the atmosphere. You watch, I'll be a lifting monster!
Bench 500
Squat 850
deadlift 750
or more?
Can I do it with time. I think so.
Me a competitive powerlifter in the future? Maybe....
