MM107's Bulking/Progress Thread w/ Pics

[nelmsjer]

^ ^ ^ BiggT = monstrously intelligent

mm107, I have been absent from your thread quite a bit, and we can get into more details if you'd like, but I really want you to consider something...

You're 19, and you have more testosterone now and over the next 5 years than you will ever have for the rest of your life. I want you to look at BiggT, because he is an unbelievable example of someone who started training right from the very beginning. He was one of the lucky ones that was taught from day one that the keys to success are big, nasty compound lifts done multiple times per week, married with a diet of excess calories and lots of protein and food.

Please check out Madcow's website. Read EVERYTHING, if you haven't already. And I'm serious...read the whole damn site. To not do so is foolish. You can't fail with a program like that. It is not one that you'll use forever, but it is one of those that you will go back to over and over again, perhaps cycling with some higher rep protocols for a few weeks or emphasizing neural aspects for a few weeks. The principles you'll learn there are worth more than every single dollar you or I have spent on supplements and muscle crap magazines.

I can't tell you how much I wish I had been introduced to this when I was your age, or even younger. You literally have no idea. Go check it out, and then let us know what you're thinking...

Thanks Nelms. Very True! Thanks for the madcow info. I have read his program before, but didnt quite understand it too much. I will actually go-over and re-read everything i can. Do you think Single Factor or Dual Factor will benefit me more? I feel that DF Will(Mentally).

BigTT is like an open book of information and im lucky he is posting to help me out!

My diet is good/great when it comes to nutrition. So calories are never a factor.

Nelms, you are totally right about principles being the #1 thing to learn, that and Form i really try to get down pat before i start worrying about big weight.

Going To Really READ the 5x5 and come up w/ a routine, ill post it up and have it critiqued. Thanks guys/Gals!


Bunny, you like the bunnies i left ya =] I can tell you love my pose, i might use that in a show if i ever get there lmao. Yea, from your logs we all can tell you have been a busy bunny lately, thanks for stopping by! I def will check out ya pics!

Thanks everyone!

Honestly, Single Factor...when you slow down on it, let us know, and we'll throw out a few suggestions...

 

[mm107]

Will be reading up on SF method 5x5. Ill make sure to ask for some help if i cant figure it out. I will def love to try the 5x5 method once i stall a little bit.

In order to mix it up as well, i would like to take MMA classes, or marine style fighting classes. CloseQuarterCombat =].

Thanks for any input on the thread! Really appreciate ALL the comments/criticism/etc.

Damn brother, you keep good records. I can't remember all that shit about my lifts, I don't write down my lifts. I just remember what I did last time I worked out that particular bodypart.

 

[SgtSlaughter]

I'm bumping BiggT's advice...

EXCELLENT ADVICE

 

[Iron Chin]

Agreed. I hate counting cals/carbs and I like the idea of cardio through the oly lifts so this method seems right up my alley. Thanks Biggt.
