Weight ~137lbs (will get accurate reading this weekend and that'll change)
Max Bench 165 Goal 185-190
Max Squat 200 Goal 250

Pics
Here are some pics for starting the workout, taken about 10 minutes after chest/arms workout.
it may be just pumped after-workout muscles, but i think i may have gotten some improvement on my lower chest. more decline! -

i mentioned this little experiment that i'm running in my Max Effort Thread. So far, two days in, I have noticed a marked difference in the amount of food that I feel like i am able to consume solely by consuming more water. I am confident that I will be able to gain weight at least a little easier over the next 10 weeks or so if i drink more water.

got a $20 scale from walmart last night, so i'll be keeping a rough record of my weight. its obviously not going to be the most accurate scale, but it'll have a pretty close estimate.
current weight: 139.2
goal: 150
gettin there. slowly, but surely. - 10-21-2008, 01:54 PM

this workout burned. my shoulders were hurting so bad while we did shoulder press and side/front raises. but all through the lift i felt awesome. impressed that i was able to push 145 16x on bench. this is a definite improvement over last week where i could not even push 135 15x. plan to increase bench 10lbs every week or so until right around winter break from school, hoping to get up around 200lbs by the end of the semester. would like to break 200 by christmas -- that'd be a nice xmas present for myself. - 10-26-2008, 02:20 AM

good f-in day. i am so pleased with how ive been squatting lately. before when i squatted 225, it was a box squat, so i didnt do the full range of motion. since starting linear periodization, i've done my best to make sure, with the help of Inarius, to make sure that my form is correct. - 11-03-2008, 11:06 PM
new supps to arrive within the next week, i'll post a new schedule when they arrive. looks to be neovar, fish oil, rpm, igf2, drive, xtend.
