Im Sam, but as far as most of my friends are concerned, im Timmay(a nickname from grade school). Ill be logging Drive/RPM combo.

About Me: I am a freshman Bio Major at University of Delaware. I have been seriously lifting since February when I desperately wanted to add some size after 5 years of competative wrestling/weight control. I finished wrestling in February at 128 lbs with cheekbones and all or so and Im now sitting at 148 lbs with blurry abs. My goals are to add some mass while limiting fat gains to a reasonable extent.

Training: I lift 4 days a week with tuesday, wednesday, and sunday as rest days. Ill be dosing 5 drive a day and 3 rpm in addition on workout days (subject to change)

Diet:Roughly 2000 calories or so, about a 40/40/20 split

Day 1:
October 22, 2007
I just got out of the gym after a killer leg workout and I must say that this combo is amazing. I didnt add huge weight but my energy was through the roof. I was hardly resting between sets and putting up good weight. ( which is good because I had to run to class right after. Ill post up weights from the workout later.

what is ur current chest routien and frequescny of training

also ur age and diet

[Lanbane]

Timmay!,

Consider making a DB press your first exercise for awhile, and lowering your rep range.

The flys you're doing.... they on a machine? If so, I'd drop them for DB flys.
I've made great gains in the past using variations of the "Muscle Rounds" concept, i.e. 6 sets of 6 or 6 sets of 4, etc w/ a 15-20 sec rest. These are usually done after your heavy sets.

[timmay8989]

thanks for the tips, ill tweak my chest workout next time with these.

Day 5
October 26 2007

Well today was interesting. By the end of my workout I was physically wiped out. My triceps felt like they were gonna fall off. Mentally however I was full of energy and ready to go another few sets, my body would have no part of that. Usually im done mentally and I have to dig deeper to keep good form and motivation those last 2 sets. Also I usually have no response at all to stims.( Ephedrine HCL gave me little to no energy and I could sleep an hour or 2 after taking it). so im really surprised to get solid energy from RPM. not sure how that works but im not complaining at all. not sure what was going on either but i saw a huge gain in my tri-press down. also im starting to get more confident with the romanian deadlift so im upping my weight there.

Back/Triceps
Wide Grip Pullups(using bodyweight)
12, 12, 11, 10.5(failed 2/3 way up)

Weighted Dips
20x15, 25x12, 25x12, 25x10
Tri-Press Down
100x12, 100x12, 110x10, 120x10(crazy burn finishing these up)
Romanian Deadlifts145x12, 165x12, 185x10

Strength-solid, went up 20lbs in the tri press on the same machine I always use.
Bodyweight- NA
Pumps- Great
Endurance- Insane
Agression-Good
Focus- Good, no class today(FALL BREAK)
Libido-Still high
Energy- Plenty

Day 7
October 28-2007

Yesterday was a lil wild with fall break and all so I didnt make it to the gym, I made up for it today and hit the gym hard. Energy was way up and I felt great. That and the gym was damn near empty so I was blasting back and forth keeping the intensity up. On a humerous note, there was a parade on main street at UD, and main street runs right by the gym. So I come walking out of the gym and walking right toward me is a big gorilla. I have to say I have never been in that position before. Good thing I took my RPM/DRIVE so i could get outta there

Front Delt Raise- 120x12, 130x12, 135x10
Lateral Raises- 20x12, 20x10, 25x10
Light ab work

Strength- Up
Bodyweight/Comp- Actually I look slightly leaner
Pumps/Vascularity- Really good in my forearms from gripping the bar

Agression- Good, but im not about to take on a gorrilla
Focus- Good, I was mad at myself for not making it to the gym yesterday
Libido-High
Muscle Density-Same
Energy- Insane

[Lanbane]

You didn't need to get outta the way.... w/ RPM/Drive, you had the option of throwing down.

[EasyEJL]

If only he had neovar too, he might have taken the gorilla on

[timmay8989]

good point, next time i see a gorilla coming my way, ill take him on
