Ark94's Workout Log

[ExtraMile]

Just eat 4 clean meals a day and a post workout shake on lifting days. Drink the shake at the gym right when u finish. If your parents want you to stop over eating then do as they say. Do cardio once a week.

So eat breakfast, eat at school, eat in the evening then eat before bed. Your parents wouldnt mind that would they? Before bed doesnt have to be a huge meal anyway.

Another thing is, if they dont mind it, use milk to get your total cals up and it shouldnt freak them out and make them thing your over eating. Then on a workout day have a weight gainer shake or just make your own weight gainer for post workout. You could actually crack 3000kcal a day if you put your mind to it. But this depends on your parents. Before bed can be more of a snack. Something like 40g protein, 40g carbs, 20g fat. Try to have 2 meals with meat each day and one meal with eggs and you should be fine, just make sure to have a good breakfast every day.

One thing I forgot to mension is you might consider buying some fish oil capsuled, they will help with your joints.

I have no idea what the liver thing is and the only person I can think of that might know what its about is joe d.

Great workout today!!

Workout A - Rippetoe's 3x5

Squat - 95lb

Bench - 135lb

Deadlift - 190lb


Thought my workout went great!! Nothing much to say, squat went awesome, i know i definitely could have moved it up, but that is going to start Monday for sure. Just wanted to try some other stuff out today, and it went well. I really have nothing to ask.

Bench Press, awesome. No assistance needed, i am weighing if i should move it up or not. second workout and i didn't need a bit of assistance. It was tiring only on the last set, the 4th and 5th reps but i got through them no problem.

Deadlift nothing to say, i would say my form is great on that. I am staying infront of the bar with my shoulders, and i have been locking out simantanously.


I have a bunch of downsides now.. Making me depressed.

So i had a bloodtest done last week, and my results came back yesterday... My liver count is up, i don't know by how much but I am going to get all the papers Monday hopefully.

It sucks, my parents are just freaked a little bit. They think i am going to kill my organs in the process, and want me to stop. Just to go to the gym, do cardio, weights, eat good, and come home.... I don't want to fucking eat good, i want to bulk and you guys tell me not to do cardio so i don't.

I am getting a dietitian appointment made next week, and a doctors appointment to see whats up. What can i do??? I want to keep on bulking, but my parents are saying no.... i know they care about me and all, and don't want my liver to get fucked but honestly, i don't want to be a skinny little shit.

Any suggestions? Do your guys liver go up when bulking? What can i do? I have stopped the creatine, mutant mass, and apparently protein powder??? Do i have to stop the iso, and casein protein? I know creatine and mutant mass i have to, and i don't care much about those but the iso and casein helps. Suggestions?
And what can i do about my liver? I want to keep on bulking.... but i have NO idea where this is headed...

Hah-Lay-Fucking-Loo-Ya. Great workout. Move your bench press up to 140. Don't get anxious with your squat- slow and steady wins the race. Move up to 100 and keep going up 5 lbs per workout. Which grip are you using for deads? double overhand or mixed?

Not sure what to say about your liver except that i hope you're okay!

EM, yeah i got your PM and i did just that during my workout today. It definitely was not easier, but i felt it just a tad more than before because i was not resting. Still went good though, i liked doing it that way because some reps i felt like i got some real power in my press compared to before. but some of them lacked. Thanks for the pm

good, the focus wasnt that he doesnt rest it was that he doesnt fuck around with the grip resetting and stuff and he doesnt try to press the bar all the way back. I think you were trying to do it olympic style.

Thanks!!! Yeah i will def. try and move up my bench. And for the deads, I'm doing double over.

Alright, EMMMMM.... i appreciate everything!! i like the diet plan you posted for me.

If i posted a potential diet, would you be able to critique it? Oh, and the doctor said i "should not" take any supplements just for a month, then come back and do another blood test. So that is why I'm concerned if i am allowed to take the protein, or even weight gainer.

Basically here is what my diet would look like then.

Wake up

**2 scoops Protein Iso** - If I am allowed to have protein
4 whole eggs
2 slices whole wheat bread
1 glass (355mL) 3.25%(homo) or 2% milk

2 Hours later

1L Milk (2% or 3.25%)

2 Hours later (So lunch)

1 Turkey sandwich on wholewheat bread (with onion and celery in it)
1 Egg, Tuna, or Chicken sandwich on wholewheat bread (onion, and celery in it)
1L Milk (2% or 3.25%)

2 Hours later

Apple
1L Milk (2% or 3.25%)
**Weight Gainer** - If I am allowed

After workout

Apple
**2 Scoops Protein Iso** - If I am allowed
1-2cups of Brown rice
2-3cups of Broccoli
Anything meat wise

^^ That would be consider my dinner ^^

2 hours later

nothing

2 hours later (right before bed)

--------------- Ideas?
**2 Scoops Protein Casein** - If I am allowed

That sound like a good diet for bulking??? Normally i would have 4 sandwiches during school, 1 tuna, egg,chicken, and a turkey one... But my parents think I am going to have health problems not doing any cardio... just sitting around and eating.

I really want to continue on bulking, but not with high liver or anything else...

if you cant take protein powder buy some skimmed milk powder and mix it in with your normal milk, this will allow u to double the protein and carb content of the milk

for breakfast carry on with 4 eggs, 2 pieces of toast and a glass of milk

at school an egg,chicken,turkey whatever sandwich or two is great, try to get around 200g of meat. then an apple later on with milk as a snack is fine

after school/pre workout eat again, either eat with your family or have some other decent quality meal

then if its a workout day post workout drink your shake, or just some double strength milk with some oats mixed in

then before bed cottage cheese and more oats or something like that with a handful mixed nuts

like i said drink milk between means. Nothing has to be set in stone, you dont have to eat the exact same every day.

alright sounds great thanks!! im just going to try and get it a bi more adjusted in the diet section, see if other people have any suggestions. But i like the idea of the skim milk powder, and oats. It would help a lot, then instead of just having the protein shakes ill get my gallon atleast 3L of milk a day or even more. Only question i have, is about the cottage cheese. Cottage cheese sucks balls, i really hate the taste. is there anything else u suggest?

 

[ExtraMile]

whole eggs can replace it but u will be eating alot of eggs every day. mix stuff in with the cottage cheese - tobasco pepper sauce, salsa, peanut butter etc

My review of Rippetoe's 3x5 since February 1st, 2010.

My weight is from March 1st, to March 28th. March 1st was the start of my bulk.

The Weights i used to lift are from February 1st, 2010.


Weight – 153.5lb. End – 170.5lb
BF – (Not sure)
Beginning End
Squat - 80lb. 95lb
Bench Press – 130lb 135lb
Deadlift – 120lb 190lb
Military Press – 60lb 80lb
Bent Row - 75lb 120lb


My bench press really shouldn't have been that high, it was shit form. My squat only moved up a little because of a big deload i did since my form sucked. Now my form is better and i can move up at a good pace.

 

[JDid23]
