Journey to a 250lb Monster........

[tay1506]

Thanks man and i would not say its the norm here. Well I take that back it just depends on how rich your parents are I just could not stand it anymore to live in a 2 bedroom apartment with my mom and brother. I just wish I had the motivation to do more and your post actually helps.

Speaking of deadlifting I think im going to try and beat my last pr which i think was 340. I will probly not be 250 and ripped in 6 months, maybe 250 and I might be ripped at 230. We will see how it goes! Im able to put on massive amounts of muscle in very short amounts of time however I have more of a problem with strength going up, but I can worry about that later.

ok maybe a year.. lol.. go get it bro!

 

[tay1506]

Yeah maybe a year!!

Todays workout was alright, but i diden't do it as planned.

squats: 225x9, 225x9, 225x9 - fairly hard, but i could have probly put up 12
Deads: 225x1, 295x1, 315x1, 335x1 345x0 - missed barely only because my grip gave out at the very end and i lost it in 1 hand.

Front squats: 135x3, 135x5, 135x6 - Just practicing form. I actually came upstairs to check out how to do it because it was putting to much pressure on my wrist. I then realized I had bad form and was leaning forward too much and my hands were to far out. I correct it after my first set, but it still hurts my wrist and on going down on my 3rd rep I tore my boxers and my shorts in half and finished up 5. Then I did another 6 reps on my 3rd set. I then called it quits because my wrists hurt pretty bad.

Diet: oatmeal and a shake when i woke up which was 4 PM
ate 2 chicken tacos at work 6 PM
then ate about 1400 more calories at work 9PM
Then drank a shake when i got home 12 AM
now im eating some chicken and a bowl of corn and green beans 3AM

wow.. what do u work as? your hours are crazy man..

btw.. u'll get used to it on the front squats.. it's just that you're not used to it.. strecth it more often.. great squatting and DL-ing bro..

 

[tay1506]

Thanks man and yeah my hours are crazy I never know when im going to work which screws up things. Im usually a cashier at that restraunt and I hate my job and i really need a new one which will happen as soon as I get the weed out of my system. I have only smoked 3 times in my life(once 3 weeks ago) and personally think its better for you than drinking. However everyday I wake up or come home from work the house is fogged out from smoke and I just try to keep my door shut.

 

[carlsuen]

whoa.. your room mates doing em? move out man.. clean up your lifestyle.. live healthier.. and does it takes more than 2 weeks to get weed out of your system?!!

 

[tay1506]

Yeah it takes about 3 weeks and my lifestyle is fine. Yes my roomates smoke, but I think if you can turn down alcohol and weed whenever you want you have will power. I mean I drink every once in awhile, but all in all its very good. Besides my whole family smokes which I just found out a couple weeks ago.

why not more reps in deads?

i feel weak now, your numbers are like mine only im 6'5" 270 pounds. i need to lose some fat, lol.

 

[tay1506]

Well at first I was going to try and set a PR before I got tired. I tryed lifting 345 though and it dident budge. So I just started light and tryed working my way up without getting tired. I would have had the 345 I diden't even start shaking or anything like normal and it came up quite fast until my grip just went out and i dropped 1 side. I definatly have to remember to start some grip training because it's really hurting my lifts.... even bench press. I also need to get more into workout out almost everyday. It just seems to kill me to do it because im so lazy.

I would much rather give up some strength to be 6' 5" !!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for posting!!!!
