Ark94's Workout Log

1. I only have 1 food at school and yes my mum makes it for me

2. I eat chicken with wholemeal bread or whole meal tortilla wraps, and I eat a handful of nuts too

3. No, its not the best choice but I buy this chicken that is already cooked and in a packet, so its ready to eat, it has been processed I think so its not the best choice but I cant stand just eating cold chicken breasts anymore. I have gotten past the point of being sick of them, iv eaten them so much that it doesnt bother me much now. For a while they would make me gag but Im just beyond it, this is extreme thoguh you dont have to go that far, I just dont like tuna so chicken is really the only thing I can consistenly eat cold at school

4. My mum pays for all my food except whey protein

5. I eat once at 11.15 and again between 12.35 and 1.00. I split my chicken up and eat 100g each time with 2 slices of wholemeal bread or one tortilla wrap. This gives me about 25g of protein and 40g of carbs on each feeding which is only an hour apart. The second time I have a handful of nuts with it which adds about 18g of fat and maybe 6g of protein. Sometimes if there is something nice on the school menu I will go and buy a diner aswell and eat it after iv eaten my chicken.

6. I didnt see the pictures, try to stick to the original template thing I told you

7. I dont use websites I count the foods myself and weigh it out, but by now Iv memorised pretty much all of the foods I eat alot, I can tell you that 100g of skinless boneless chicken breast contains 24g of protein, 100ml of whole milk contains 4.7g of carbs, 3.8g of protein and 4g of fat. 1 teaspoon of olive oil contains 5g of fat. 1oz of lean steak contains about 7g of protein (but this can depend on how lean it is) 100g of oats contains 60g of carbs, 11g of protein and 8g of fat and 9g of fibre etc
 
like i said, breakfast should be 4 whole large eggs and 2 slices of toast with a glass of milk.

diner looks good but there is no source of carbs in there... :confused: you need lots of carbs for bulking.

Is that not what my breakfast is? I just cut it all up and put it in a bowl and eat it.

Carbs... what sort of carbs? That's what my dinner has been like since i started... It would be some meat, and that much broccoli.

oh i thought there was only one slice of toast there

good sources of carbs off the top of my head are brown rice, potatoes (red and white), oats, yams

add 2oz of brown rice or 300g white potatoes + a glass of milk to that meal and its great. IDK how much red potatoes or yams to add though as I dont eat them much.

note: white potatoes wouldnt really be "clean" as they are fast digesting but for bulking and when your skinny they can be a good source of carbs. Some fast food post workout wouldnt hurt you either and would give u 1000-1500kcal in one meal...
 
Just spent an hour watching the squat help thread videos, on what i needed or thought i needed.

Basically I have picked up a few things. I may have to drop the weight down to 115, and get deeper squat depth? I am going below parallel, however the guy talks about how you want your hamstrings and calves touching. Now if you have bigger hamstrings and calves you, in theory, wouldn't have to go down as deep right? I should be going till i touch my calves with my hamstrings then?

Second thing i picked up on, and i believe EM said this. I should have the bar lower on my back, because its causing a bit of imbalance and my back rounding. I will try my warmup sets with a lower position on my back and see how it goes.

Last note and you guys have said it, is to have a smaller stance. I am way to wide. Now when i have a smaller stance i feel unbalanced, however that may be because I'm sitting more back in the squat then? I am not used to being on my heels, so maybe it being awkward is what how I am suppose to be then? Any suggestions on that little theory?



Just a question aside from squatting about bulking.

How much fat do you put on? Ofc your going to put on fat, and i accept that, except will you get after a year of bulking a big belly? Plus if im 167 now and want to get to 200+ in theory will i not get a huge belly since males tend to store fat in there stomach? I'm not worried about it, im just curious. Obv. im going to have to buy bigger shirts then haha so i was just curious.
 
the cleaner your diet the less fat you will add. but like I said at the moment you are very thin so some dirty cals will help you

iv said this several times just investigate with stances and find your most comfortable one

about the bar height, i said you look to have your hands so close that it has forced you to put the bar too high, bar being real high can cause you to GM and can stop you from being able to sit back as much, you have both of these problems so I was thinking the bar heigh could be a problem. Again there is a variety of bar heights, some powerlifters will have the bar low and supported by the rear delts, some olympic lifters will have it as high as they can without it being on the neck. Just investigate, some places will be uncomfortable and some will be fine.

yes you should squat deep. I squat all the way down, so does jdid and oso and alot of other guys on here. But again trying to go deep can cause your lower back to round if the flexibility isnt there, so stretch out before and go as deep as flexbility will allow. The more you do it the easier it will be.
 
Workout A - Rippetoe's 3x5

Squat - 120lb. (fucking sucks)

Bench - 135lb. (killed it)

Deadlift - 185lb.

Alright, so squat im going to post in the other thread, the video one and see if i can get some responses there.

Bench, i fucking killed it! I know it's not a lot, but i got through 3x5 without any assistance at all, sure it was hard and I am definately going to sit there Friday and bench it again, but im proud i did 1 plate(pussy :D) without any assistance from a spot. I got power through my heels, and i could feel it in my legs quite a bit. So my form is going great on bench.

Deadlift . . .fucking damn i hope i killed it today. Just a question, i tried pulling, instead of squatting it up and it went great. Everything locked out simaltanously. Scraped it along my shins, and my shins were red as fuck but not that bad, and they didn't hurt a bit. Was pretty awesome, however my knees were hurting a bit during the lift and a bit after. Now they are fine, but is that normal?? Or am i fucking up somewhere for them to hurt?

Okay, just one question im going to throw here for my squat, not about form. I am progressing quite shitty in my squat. I just want to kill the form first before doing it heavier, but at 120lb it is still a struggle. :confused: Am i just a pussy for it not to move up as fast as my deadlift or bench?:(
It was still a struggle somewhat today, but i WAS not feeling the squat at all today. Some days i can just kill it, today was not that day though maybe that was why :S
 
hell bro, if you reallly feel uncomfortable, i'd drop to 95 pounds and go up 5 lbs per workout. You'll be up at 130 in 2 more weeks and probably have better form.

Congrats on deads. I have scrapes on my knees too

Also great accopmlishment with bench.Definitely kiling it.

Thanks man, i may just drop down to 95lbs...


Okay, so my diet today. I have been bulking, except doing it fucking wrong hahah. I would eat MORE, but only eat more at the main meals, breakfast, lunch, dinner. I wasn't doing much every 2 hours other than a little snack.

So today, i ate every 2 hours so far. Here is how it went.


Woke up - Had 2 scoops Protein Iso

20-30minutes later - 4 Hard Boiled eggs, 2 whole wheat slices toast, 1 glass Homo milk

-----in between----- 1.5L (almost half a gallon) or Homo (3.25%) milk

2 hours later - 1 Egg sandwhich on wholewheat bread

2 hours later (technically lunch now) - 1 Tuna sandwhich on wholewheat bread

2 Hours later - Apple with water

1 Hour later (about 40minutes before workout) - 1 Egg sandwhich on wholewheat bread

After workout - 2 Scoops Protein Iso
Chicken (butter chicken), brown rice, forgot to have veggies fuck


Does that sound more like a bulking diet?
