My ass-kicking road to getting HUGE

[silver_shadow]

Pretty good workout. Not my best but to be honest, I stopped at the mall on the way to the gym and bought an X-Box 360 so I wasn't as focused as I should have been. I'll never grow up.

haha, awesome.

Nice workout, high on quality, low on needless crap. When do the new Madden and NCAA football games come out? Those are my drug of choice, lol.

Me too, sir. July 3rd for NCAA and I'm not positive about Madden but I think it's around August 12th. I really wish they'd launch NCAA in June so it gives us a good 2 months of playing before Madden.

yeah, I know, I like to create some players and win a few national titles, then upload the draft class to Madden.

I have yet to do that because by the time I'm done screwing around and finally into my sophmore season, Madden is released.

The items in Veranda font I wanted to discuss
First things first , there is no mct or fiber in this diet. The only dietary fats is the peanut butter. I would add flax oil or better yet sprinkle flax seeds on some of this to get some omegas and fiber. Also the cooked meats I would use coconut oil to get some lauric acid which is anti microbial and kills candida... I ONLY cook foods in coconut oil where oils are needed Also safflower oil is a good dietary oil used in the same manner as olive oil

You drink alot of milk which means you are drinking alot of sugars. Also you might want to skip the milk that is just before bed due to the general rule of limited sugar after 6:00pm. Use R+ala to send that sugar to muscles

Glutamine will do nothing for recovery. Use glutamine ethyl ester or glutamine peptides

1lb london broil... Big man here. Thats a big cut of meat but beef top round is the leanest cut of meat there is. Go for it if you can eat that much. In contrast why not drop the hamburger as it is more animal byproduct then lean meat...

You have brown rice and potato as your veggies. I would add some green veggies in there maybe in replacement for some of the milk so that there will be more complex carbs in there

On that particular day there wasn't too much fiber; probably about 10 grams, but almost every other day I'm eating 3/4 lb of wheat pasta - which comes to almost 40 grams of fiber just from that. Plus sometimes I throw a can of kidney beans in the mix as well.

This is true. I should get some more healthy fats. I also take some fish oil caps before bed.

I appreciate your advice but I'm going to stay with the milk. Right now I'm on a bulking cycle and the calories plus the cassein protein before bed serves its purpose. I don't mind the sugar. When it's cutting time I'll get rid of the milk but the 1600 calories it provides is doing more good than harm.

I'll check out the beef top round. Thanks. As far as the hamburger goes... the wife was cooking on the grill and, seeing how its bulking time, I'm going to enjoy some cheese burgers while I can.

You have brown rice and potato as your veggies. I would add some green veggies in there maybe in replacement for some of the milk so that there will be more complex carbs in there

I agree that some vegetables might be a good idea, but from what I understand they aren't a complex carb. I could be wrong though. Plus, don't forget that I'm getting about 300 grams of carbs from complex sources already.

Thanks a lot for all of your input.

Tuesday, May 23rd

Bench:
175x5
195x5
225x5
255x5
295x5 - PR

*295 for 5 is a personal record for me. I think I got 2 or 3 last time in the SF 5x5. The first 4 went up pretty good but the last one came up SLOOOOWWW. My lifting partner was out again but luckily the guy who spotted me did an excellent job and let me fight with the weight to get it up. Next week is a deload then on to 305x3.

Bent Row:
135x5
185x5
205x5
225x5
250x5
185x15

*I had to re-ramp the weights because I cheated with 265 last week for 5. Still didn't feel great today with 250 but managed to keep them strict. 185x15 felt great.

Pin Press:
135x3
185x3
185x3
195x3
195x3

*Dropped the weight this week because I wanted to focus on getting nice speed in the bar. 235 last week was ok but I was more eeking out the reps rather than throwing them up off the pin.

Bench Press, burn set:
225x13

*I could have got 15 probably but I didn't have a spot and didn't want to get trapped.

Chins:
45x5
70x4
bodyweightx11

*Felt like garbage; really weak. I think this has to do with the fatigue from the bent row burn set of 15. It was the first time I'd done that.

How long are you in the gym for with that routine? 295 for 5 is great!! Sounds like your moving weight! Thanks for your responses to me before! Do you ever go to Ballys anymore or just stay at basic? Ballys doesnt seem like the power lifting bulking kinda place.. your probably more at home in basic! Take care!! ~*D
