MM107's Bulking/Progress Thread w/ Pics

[mm107]

LOL, I'm glad you enjoyed your birthday.....I'll be 27 next month, and it wasn't all that long ago I was doing crap like that....fun times to look back on, although many times I just cringe and am thankful I lived to tell about some of them, lol.

I think your workouts are going great considering the diet and cardio, if I dieted like that and did cardio like that, the last thing I'd want to do is pick up a weight.....good job meeting your goals, and the strength looks just fine all things considered with the diet and cardio where it is.

Thanks BigT, Yea, with my calories at about maintenance, i feel my strengh has plateud, wich is normal, right now the goal is ABS lol. But im still eating really good to protect my muscle, So im not loosing any. Strenght has been going up prob 1lb-5lbs/week depending on muscle group.

Thanks BigT

Went home and came back later in night after dinner to run with Nicole. We had chicken for dinner so I ate really well, so no need for us to really go to the gym, except she is psycholigicaly addicated to it lol, so I helped her out and brought her there.

Cardio
Threadmill: 3min warmup 12mins @ level 7.0
Stairmaster: 10mins w/ 50lbs Vest on @ level 6.0
Threadmill: 5mins @ level 6.0 @ 3.0 incline

The gym was so different at night, cardio area was PACKED. So I guess they have to deal with my sweaty ass at the gym lol. I drip when I run, my heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest on the stairmaster, really got my HR kicking. Felt GREAT Tho.

Today is an off weightlifting day, but Im gonna pick up Nicole at 6pm tonight and head on over to the gym. Im going to do the stairmaster for the 10mins vest on/10min off/10min on. I wanna shred up. Stomach is coming in nicely. I gotta get my pics up, but I have brusises on my side still from the batting so I thought it would be better to wait little more SO either TONIGHT, so I can upload them tommarow.

Notes: Finally went and replaced my library card, since I relocated at work, theres a library next to me, and I already took out some nutrition books. “Aver’s Sports Nutrition Almanac” and another textbook style book on the human body.

Does anyone have any good book names/authors I can look up over there and take some out?

The double workout session really kicked my ASS! Im so damn tired today. I want a coffee so bad, but I know the crash will be worse. I miss bulking, my recovery time was so quick, now I can tell im getting drained, but ill take care of it nutritional POV.

Bunny, yea, thanks for stopping by, Glad my stories made you laugh! They make me crack up because its like it happened to some1 else. I honestly was told that story, cant remember too much lol. Training is back on, Diet has been great. Abs are coming in. I would say I won that personal bet about having abs by Bday. Wasn’t Shredded but they are clearly there. =] Now its time to tweak em in.

CK, I really wanted to KILL that shit at the gym today, but just didn’t have it in me CK! Next week im gonna crush legs for ya!! Kill that SHIT!

That is ok, but only this one time consider it a birthday present!
It sounds like your making up for it with the cardio anyway!

As far as books for nutition you could take out.... there is this author, I am not sure if you have heard of hime before "Dr. Seuss, Green Eggs and Ham" LMAO just joking hee hee silly mood!

Log update!!!

Whats up EF world?

No Training Yesterday, only Cardio. Good Cardio Session Tho. Threadmill is getting little longer each week.

Cardio Day
Threadmill: 3 min warmup / 17 min run @ 7.0
Stairmaster: 10 mins @ level 6 with 50lbs vest on

No rest in between threadmill and stairmaster, totally dripping, went through 1 towel completely.

The 20 mins Cardio, I could have pushed further but I slowly would like to move up to 30 mins.

Cardio Goals
30 Min Threadmill Run @ 2.0 Grade & Level 8
10 Min Stairmaster with 50lb vest / 10 Min Stairmaster without Vest / 10 Min with Vest

Today is Deadlift day. Im planning on KILLING THAT SHIT! Im gonna pull 423lbs again, not for reps, but more then 1 set at 423lbs.

Cardio felt good, not too much pain at all, My GF brought me new nike Shox for my bday to run, and they are black and white and MY luck I got greese on them from the stairmaster, I know bullshit.

I think my shins are getting used the beating, especially with the new sneakers, they really help a lot.

Im gonna be killing back today, Can some1 critique the lifts for the day.

Deadlift
Bent over Barbell Row
Single Arm Dumbell Row
Lat Pull Downs 3x for front / 3x behind kneck.

Can I do Standing Press behind the kneck instead of the Lat Pull downs? Im trying to incorporate some overhead movements, freewieghts. If any MONSTERS READING TODAY, can i get some back tips =]

Good way to train the deadlift progressively, 2 or 3 singles at 423 is more than last week and is an improvement.....for the rest of the workout, if I were you, I'd just do barbell rows, maybe some high volume 5's and some backoff sets of 8, then maybe 3 sets of chins and thats it.....no reason to do barbell AND dumbell rows, do one and make them count, and no reason at all for lat pulldowns.

Thanks! Exactly, i was hoping some1 would chime in about the routine,

Yea, ill KILL Deadlift, and Ill KILL the barbell ROW.
AHH and CHINS! Ill try them my best, usually after a workout i just cant seem to get up lol but i will still TRY.

So as of now,

Deadlifts
Barbell Row
Chins

So no Lat Pulldowns at all Big?

 

[SgtSlaughter]

Nice Pulls MM!!

agreed with BiggT on pulldowns, seems to be unessesary for your goals.
