Big guys LG SCIENCE ( sponsored log )

Hello from the not so new guy. I have been on here a while just not that active in the forums, I have really come to like this place after seeing how well greg and everyone actaully take part in the company on facebook and so on. Im also a active member on another forum board as well and listed as a expert product reviewer. I hope to really get to know some of you all here and contribute some useful things to this site as well.

I have recently been given the chance to run a log for Athletix sports and I want to do my very best for them. I have ran logs for others too. USP, Purus labs, Lecheek and few others. So this is not my first rodeo.

I was always skinny and puny growing up , but never tried weightlifting or anything like that. I Did play basketball though. After high school I found a gym and fell in love. I loved how much better I felt about myself. Then... I got married.. No more gym.. Then a divorce... Yea back to gym.

Then I got married and had kids.. 8 years later. Another divorce and trying to do the single dad and go to them gym and work two jobs.. Geez but I Finally got my fat ass back in shape. ( weird how one can go from skinny and puny to a cow in just a few years ) lol

Now I have found my soul mate and we are happy and live a great healthy lifestyle. She understands how much I like my gym time. ( I dont drink ..well very very seldom , I dont watch much sports, I dont play games. ) She knows that its my outlet.
Anyway i just wanted to let some of you all know who I am a bit .
Ok I will start this log off with some back dated workouts from this week and will continue to log it here from then on.
If I can figure out how to post a pic I will post one up.

Ok So I didnt do anything but work all weekend. But started the week off as well as I could.

Monday
7 am, One egg with 1/4 cup oats and cin. and salsa.
Humapro , amino energy, formula x , licogenix, and I tried takend the fat smack today too with it.

Normally I dont because the FS seems to bother me if I take it with anything other supplement at the same time. I was in a hurry so I went ahead.

Gym at 815am
10 min walk on treadmill
Bodyweight squats for 3 sets . about 25 reps.

SQUATS
140 x 15 x 2

Again these are really bothering my back and I was just not feeling the squats. Thought I would try a old workout I used to do.

Awesome workout man. thats a huge dropset on the bench I may have to try that on monday. Not that heavy tho yet

 

[bigguyn10ec]

Thanks I would go heavier but I was alone and Im still scared of my shoulder just yet. I kinda felt that in my shoulder a bit. once that heals up I will be drop setting 315 or so. Im hoping around august and sept I should be up to par for some heavy weights.

[bigguyn10ec]

Yea I bulk and gain very easy I could bump up my game and be at 270 is a matter of months if i wanted. But I want to keep the size I am now and get around 220 I think I should look pretty jacked then. If only I could get my legs to grow. One of the downsides of being so tall.

 

[packers6211]

Goodnight don't know how I miss this one. Nice progress bro and looking leaner already. Impressive numbers as well.

[packers6211]

Bro I just read this like early in the morning, and now my legs gonna hurt alllllll ddddd day lol killer workout man serious numbers there.

 

[bigguyn10ec]

man I swear Im not even hurting yet, My knee is a bit jacked but that is normal. Plus I kinda tweaked it a bit when i was getting off the lying ham curl machine. But overall not bad.. but Its still early. I hate that squats bother me so bad . I might try the hip belt squats next time.

 

[bigguyn10ec]

Oh yea. another I needed to post . I have not bother to buy or use any whey protein in the past 6 months and I have consistently made gains in strength and lost weight. This is not doing a IF diet or anything. Just a country boy who eats what I want. I do try to eat clean but I still have my burger king or homemade waffles and good ole country meals . I just dont gorge myself when I eat now. I think if I can sell my house I might drop some serious dough on some good stacks and humapro.

 

[bcazo]

great leg workout those squat #'s are sick!

 

[bigguyn10ec]

great leg workout those squat #'s are sick!

re READ THAT
Those are NOT squats.. they are leg press. BIG DIFFERENCE!! I can leg press a house, but I cant squats for crap@!

Yeah whey protein shakes are a little overrated, I've done a couple bulks without protein shakes and as loong as I put down a lot of food it's not needed, if I were to cut on the other hand I find they can help from wasting muscle.

 

[packers6211]

Solid updates brother! JD your right but at same time I have always enjoyed being able to do at least one shake a day. Some of us peeps WORK 10 hrs a day lol jk but for real hard to eat sometimes. Having those shakes can be helpful. Now I've seen some idiots though shoot for 70plus grams per shake and I'm like really!!!

Without a doubt, but for someone that has more time and can just pig out all the time then I'd say adding protein wouldn't change anything, your body will only take in so much protein.

 

[packers6211]

TRUE DAT!

 

[bigguyn10ec]

Yesterday I had a quick workout I need to make sure I don't put off my cardio. So a bit of a change.
One mile run HIIT STYLE.

Pullups x 4 set to failure
Barbell curls x 4 sets pyramid up last set was 120 x5.
I could still feel my shoulder pain by doing curls, its like it just pulls to much on it.
DB CURLS pyramid down to failure
X 4 sets. 40,30,20,15. This was more like 4 giant sets

LAT PULLDOWN
4 sets very slow and control
10 min HIIT elliptical.
I was toast.

 

[JudgementDay]
