The good folks at AX have been so kind as to help me help myself with adding a little more beef for the coming Winter months by suppling a bottle of the new Maximuim Strength MASSFX :afro:
(And as promissed, at least on their site, I will leave out any "side stories' that are unrelated. As for you folks here at AM, I make NO such promise:toofunny
This will be a light bulk for me, as I already have concerns about being "idle" most the day.
I started a new job not too long ago and spend most of the time taking calls on my buttissimo, more so then my last job, where I prety much wandered around half the time anyways.
This job is also a little closer to my house then my last, (about 7 blocks) so my ride time in on my bike is 10 min as opposed to 15. Not much of a difference but it adds up. 5 min one way x2= 10min a day x7= 70min weekly, x 52...you get the idea.
As a result, I feel as if my stamina is shot to hell, strength is down.. everything is down. Well, most everthing :whip:
What I NEED is to get my conditioning up to where I can crank out 10-15 good cardio before workouts and still have the energy to complete my routines (the ones I'm used to doing) which, sad to say, are more then I'm doing now.
As far as diet goes, I personally don't count calories, I just eat more or less of the same. For this log, I will basicly give an accurate discription of what I eat, along with provide recipies in the section here for what I eat (and perhaps inspire some new or old ideas for ya'll)
The write-up for mass FC Maximum Strength can be found here: http://anabolicminds.com/forum/anabolic-xtreme/87327-massfx-maximum-strength.html
GOALS:
Get my conditioning up
-Get my rep range back up to at least 8 for 2 sets on all major movements (bench and squat mostly)
Put on a measureable amount of mass
-I will be happy with an increase of 2lbs overall but would like to end at 188lbs (assuming I am still 186lbs; I will have to weigh myself when I get home)
As an addition, I got a sweet new scale that reads body weight, fat mass, bone density, and water weight :head:
WORKOUTS
Generally I lift Sun-Thursday. I find I usually do not end up going to the gym on Fridays.
I will stick to a 8 rep target scheme; more on this later, as I hope to able to put together a type of graphical progression here on this first post
Starting Stats (pics and measurements will be up 10/8 ~4pm)
weight: 179lbs
Week1: 180.2
Measurements:
