My training weblog (with pics, yay?)

Ok, I'm two weeks into my first workout cycle in oh.... 3 years?

Anyways, here's where I'm at now:
(Yes, I know, I got a lot of work ahead of me)

Me looking suave? Ok, maybe not:

Classic cliched Myspace angle:

What I'm doing right now.

12 Program, based on 1 set per exercize, 6-10 reps (if I can do 10, I move the weight up)

3 x times a week, each body part getting hit directly 1 time a week.

Cardio: 5-7 minutes tops pre-workout (just enough to get blood flowing before I stretch)

Supplimentation: 5 g l-arginine daily, 5 g glutamine on workout days, animal stack multi vit, 1 airborne daily with l-arginine. 2-3 muscle milk rtd's daily, 2 frusion smoothies daily (that's where I'm getting my extra calories in).

Very noobish workout I know, but I'm getting myself acclimated to doing this again before I go all out. I'd rather build up some muscle (hard gainer here) and momentum before I go crazy.

So far, I've gained about 7 and a half pounds in 2 weeks. Oh. and according to the scale my wife just bought, I either have 24% bf or 16.5% bf.... ugh.

Note: I will be updating this every two weeks using the same angles to mark my own progress. Isn't that lovely?

Clean up that sofa so I can sit down. Sheesh.


I can't wait to see your progress. You have nice eyes.

Son's been sleeping on the couch lately (has had a problem with nosebleeds in his room, we need a humidifier.

Thanks for the compliments, and I'll try to not let you down ;p.

Ah, poor little fella. I've been having a bloody nose too. Moving from humid florida to cold kentucky has my nose and skin all dried out.

And of course, a clichéd Myspace angle.

Start Weight: 128 (I was 135-137 ish in the first photos)
Current Weight: 143
Goal Weight: 155-160 for Softball season, we'll see after that.
Bf % Begin: 16.5%
Bf % Current: 14.5%

Strength Gains: Well, I know I'm stronger, but not sure by how much really. The first time I worked out I was doing reps at 135 on the bench (6 reps). The last time I did regular benching I did 8 at 155. So it's a start at any rate. My military presses have gone up from doing sets at 95 lbs to 125 lbs. I don't have a squat rack, I think that's hurting my leg workouts. I've been doing hack squats and lunges, but I always feel like my grip is coming apart too soon.

Supplimentation thus far:

I cut out the Airborne Stuff.

I'm doing 2 of the Big Muscle Milk RTD's daily, I take an animal stack multi daily, and then I also do 5 grams of l-arginine, creatine, and glutamine daily.
I've been trying to get more water in, and I eat every 3 or so hours.


I'm still not doing much cardio, but I'm up to doing 7:30 minutes of running at 7.5 miles an hour on the tredmill before every workout. I've decided that once pratice starts for the season, I'll start doing 2 days of 20 minute running. That's next week : /. I hate running.
