Start over!

[silverSurfer]

I need to get in shape! I'm starting this log to track my progress, share it with the forum, and get feedback. Official start date: Sunday 9/2/2007

Purpose: To become a lean, mean, muscle machine - I want LBM, and lots of it!

I decided to start using dermal Formastane: 5g dissolved in one bottle of Penetrate. I started on Sunday 1/13/2008. I am using between 6 to 8 pumps twice a day. Sometimes the first or second pump don't have any Form even if I shake the bottle.
* End of Week 20: Sunday 1/20/2008: 172 lbs (-4 from previous week). <<< I will use this as a baseline since the previous 19 weeks were somewhat skewed.
* End of Week 21: Sunday 1/27/2008: 173 lbs (+1 from previous week).

* End of Week 22: Sunday 2/03/2008: MIA. Had an accident at the gym during the week. Messed up my routine. Stopped using Form since I can't get an upper body workout for a few weeks.
* End of Week 23: Sunday 2/10/2008: MIA.
* End of Week 24: Sunday 2/17/2008: MIA.
* End of Week 25: Sunday 2/24/2008: MIA.
* End of Week 26: Sunday 3/02/2008: 172 lbs (used scale at gym) I'm not happy with my results thus far. Workouts are good but still can't manage to get my 6 meals a day. Time to make some changes. Stay tuned.

Here is my plan:
Meal plan: I will be eating six meals a day. I calculated the daily caloric intake required based on conventional formulas for someone with a desk job, then added the required calories for the workout plan and muscle growth. I need to learn how my body adjusts. Also, I exercise after work so I would have eaten 4 meals prior to going to the gym.
Workout plan:
Phase 1: I'm going to ease my way back into the discipline of bodybuilding. I'm starting with a basic whole body workout three times a week for three weeks, followed by one week of stretching and recovery.
Phase 2: I have BOBO's deluxe muscle building program. I signed up with him a while back and got great results. However, I failed to keep it up. This is an 8 week program.
Phase 3: Don't know yet. I'll figure something out prior to the end of Phase 2.

Phase 1 details: I got this from a HFL book I bought many years ago. The items below contain what I need to eat at my current weight. The actual caloric intake will be adjusted throughout the program. The workouts below may seem excessive, however the effort will be minimal since the program does not require maximum lifts, is supposed to be designed to pre-exhaust certain muscles, and to force me to use proper form.

Week 1: Workout 3x week (Sun, Tue, Thu). I will be eating about 3232 calories a day:
* Abs
* 3 supersets: leg extensions and hamstring curls
* 3 supersets: bench press and close-grip pull-down
* 2 sets: hyperextensions
* 2 sets: shoulder raises (21's)
* 3 supersets: preacher bench curls (BB) and tricep press-down

Week 2: Workout 3x week (Sun, Tue, Thu). I will be eating about 3267 calories a day:
* Abs
* 3 supersets: leg extensions and hamstring curls
* 3 supersets: hack squats and side leg raises
* 2 sets: hyperextensions
* 3 supersets: bench press and close-grip pull-down
* 2 sets: shoulder raises (21's)
* 2 sets: military press
* 3 supersets: preacher bench curls (BB) and lying French press

Week 3: Workout 3x week (Sun, Tue, Thu). I will be eating about 3323 calories a day:
* Abs
* 3 supersets: squats and hack squats
* 4 supersets: leg extensions and hamstring curls
* 3 supersets: bench press and decline rows
* 3 supersets: pec flys and close-grip pull-ups
* 2 supersets: upright rows, military press, and rear delt flys
* 3 supersets: standing barbel curl and French press
* 3 supersets: seated incline dumbell curls and tricep kick-backs
* 2 supersets: good mornings and hyperextensions

Week 4: Workout 4x week (Sun, Tue, Thu, Sat). I will be eating about 3080 calories a day:
* I will be out of town on vacation and may not have access to a gym. Depending on how I feel, I may do some light lifts or focus on stretching exercises.
* I'm also using this week to assess how my body reacted to the previous 3 weeks and to prepare for the 8 week BOBO plan.
* I may adjust the daily caloric intake depending on how much I weigh at the end of week 3.

Edit: I started working out during lunch with my workout buddy on 10/15/2007. We're doing a four-day split as follows:
* Monday: Legs & Abs
* Tuesday: Chest
* Wednesday: Back
* Thursday: Arms & Abs
Sometimes I do a light workout on Saturday which consist of no-weight squats, leg raises, pushups, and wide-grip pull-ups. It gets me through the weekend.

I took these pics on July 15th 2007. Not much has changed since then, so consider these the "before" pics. I will update my log on a weekly basis and may post pictures once a month. Wish me luck! :wave:

Edit: I was adding the date as text to the pic and now I'm unable to upload it again.

Round 2! Sunday 3/09/2008

It has been 6 months since I started this log and so far I have not gained much weight. Then I busted my finger and have lost a good 5 weeks of progress. Time to try again.
I am going to keep things a bit simpler this time - I'm going to use the Scivation Lean Mass Diet program and progressively increase my daily caloric intake. My main problem has been eating 6 meals a day, so I'm going to start with the lowest caloric intake on the plan to get me used to eating.

Stats are almost the same as when I started, I'll get measurements and update again:
Age: 36
Weight: 172 lbs
Shoulders:
Chest:
Waist:
Wheels:
Calves:
Guns:
Forearms:

** Weight on Friday morning on empty (6/13/2008): 167 lbs :whip: Warning: this was the first all-out no-carb week and some of the fat started to gross me out, which caused me to eat about 1500 cals 3 days of the week. The 2125 DCI is already 500 cal below maintenance, so I was about 1100 below maintenance on 3 days. I'm sure this is the reason why I went down to 167 lbs. by Friday morning.

[Rodja]

Welcome back to the iron and good luck on your training. Train hard and avoid injuries.

 

[jonny21]

Good to see you back and posting.

Are you considering switching up on the bench angle for your presses/flys as well as the grip position on pull downs/ups?

 

[silverSurfer]

Good to see you back and posting.

Are you considering switching up on the bench angle for your presses/flys as well as the grip position on pull downs/ups?

Hi jonny21, the first three weeks are super basic so the bench press is the conventional 90 degree (flat) press. However, the BOBO plan includes plenty of variation.

Thanks for the encouragement.

 

[thewilman]

:thumbsup: good luck, ss!

Fall 7 times, get up 8!

 

[silverSurfer]

I had to get some supplements to help my digestive system. The last two days have been absolutely disgusting with all the rancid gas. However, I had lots of energy during my workout last night.

Update: I went to the near by Wholefoods Market and got a box of these: Jarro-Dophilus EPS™ Travel Size
I took one capsule last night, one 30 minutes before breakfast, and one before my fourth meal. I also eliminated milk from the first four meals of the day and I feel SO MUCH BETTER! No bloating and the gas is basically gone - I did have some today but not out of the ordinary and it did not smell, which was nice :woohoo:

 

[silverSurfer]

End of week 1: Stats taken Sunday morning 9/9/2007 on empty :whip:
Weight: 170 lbs

No change in weight but I'm noticing some recomposition. I'm working my way up to eating 6 times a day. So far I've managed to eat 5 times a day.
I'm also modifying my diet and replacing current carbs with brown rice - apparently rice does not create gas like other carbs, so it should help with my digestive issues.

 

[silverSurfer]

End of week 2: Stats taken Sunday morning 9/16/2007 on empty :whip:
Weight: 171 lbs

The rice substitution definitely worked. I still have mild gas, but I suspect it is due to the increase in protein. It starts happening in the evening so I'm not worried about it because I'm home by then.
Still at 5 meals a day, will do my best to increase to 6 meals a day. Also, I'm going to split the original workout plan for Week 3; I don't think I can do all that without overtraining.

 

[silverSurfer]

End of week 3: Stats taken Sunday morning 9/23/2007 on empty :whip:
Weight: 170 lbs

Still at 5 meals a day and slowly increasing caloric intake. I split the Week 3 workout plan into upper and lower, and worked out 4 times (2 upper 2 lower).

 

[silverSurfer]

End of week 4: Stats taken Sunday morning 9/30/2007 on empty :whip:
Weight: 180 lbs :think:

I was out on vacation all week. I went to the hotel gym 3 times: 2 for light upper body workout, 1 for cardio on the machine. I also went running 3 consecutive mornings.

The hotel room had a cool digital scale so I decided to take my weight and it registered 182.5 lbs... I thought "no way!" So I decided to go downstairs to the gym and use the mechanical scale and it registered the same... well, needless to say the scale I have at home is busted. I weighed myself again before I left and I'm right about 180 lbs. I'm very happy because I thought I'd been stuck at 170 lbs for the longest time, but I've actually gained weight (althought not all muscle). I'm happy since it puts me closer to my 200 lbs goal. My diet was basically crap, so I hope the running and the few workouts helped balance things out. I still have flab on my midsection but I'm noticing some recomposition. I'll see if I can post update pictures today - the tan makes things a little more noticeable.

 

[silverSurfer]

End of week 7: Stats taken Sunday morning 10/21/2007 on empty :whip:
Weight: 176 lbs

I've lost some weight. I think it is coming off my midsection because my chest, back, shoulders, and thighs look a bit fuller. Time to recalculate intake - I'm probably not eating enough.

 

[silverSurfer]

End of week 9: Stats taken Sunday morning 11/4/2007 on empty
Weight: MIA :blink: :nono:
Edit: got on the scale at the gym today 11/5/2007 and it registered 175 lbs. I subtract 3 lbs for food since I had two meals in me so I should be around 172 lbs.

I have not bought a scale yet - I really need to get one today. I think the best thing I've done thus far is pairing up with a guy from work. We've been going to the gym 4 x week and I can honestly say that having a workout partner is awesome. We have similar goals, work out during lunch, and eat the first meals of the day together. Having someone push you to the limit and spot you is awesome!

 

[silverSurfer]

I've been challenged!

So my workout partner said he was determined to get his 6-pack by next July, which I think is great. However he also started talking smack and said that I would not be able to do the same. I said I could get a 6-pack in three months. Me having a brain fart said I would have my 6-pack by this day in January - that's actually two months, not three! Then he went on to say that the way to test my 6-pack, other than the obvious, would be for me to sit down and have no flab sticking out of the sides of my pants - he upped the requirement and said it would have to be like "Men's Fitness" cover worthy - I was like "whatever!"

Anyway, I'm going to start sprinkling cardio in the morning on an empty stomach, monitoring my food more closely, and tracking my numbers more accurately. I'm going to beat him to the 6-pack! :bb2:

 

[silverSurfer]

20 minute workout done from 5:20am - 5:40am.
In-place jumping stuff like jumping jacks, knee-ups, etc. immediately followed by one serving of Xtend and one scoop of CarbSlam. Time to eat food now...

 

[silverSurfer]

20 minute workout done from 5:18am - 5:38am.
In-place jumping stuff like running in-place, jumping jacks, knee-ups, etc. immediately followed by one serving of Oryx Goat Whey (30g protein).

 

[silverSurfer]

20 minute workout done from 5:27am - 5:47am.
Low-impact in-place jumping stuff like running in-place, knee-ups, kicks, no-weight squats, no-weight lunges, etc. immediately followed by one serving of Oryx Goat Whey (30g protein).

 

[silverSurfer]

40 minute workout done from 7:50am - 8:40am.
Medium to brisk walking immediately followed by one serving of Oryx Goat Whey (30g protein), 18g carb (1 slice whole grain bread), and 3g fat (1g hemp oil, 1g fish oil, 1g sesamin).

 

[silverSurfer]

End of week 11: Stats taken Sunday morning 11/11/2007 on empty :whip:
Weight: 175 lbs

My upper body and legs feel fuller, my midsection still needs some work. Some people told me my shoulder width, back, and chest look bigger/fuller.

I need to adjust my diet and follow it. I want to gain lean muscle and lose flab to get my 6-pack by January 5th. I think I can do it and I hope the addition of morning cardio helps me get there.

 

[silverSurfer]

End of week 13: Stats taken Sunday morning 12/02/2007 on empty :whip:
Weight: 176 lbs

My buddy and I have been working out together on weekdays from 6:15am to ~7:15am depending on the body part for that day. We will continue doing this for another 6 weeks because of temporary changes to our work schedule.

This schedule adjustment has put a cramp in my eating schedule and I find it difficult to eat all my meals because I'm training the entire development team at my job and training is from 8am to 5pm. I do my best by drinking shakes but would much rather eat whole food meals. I can't wait to go back to my regular schedule near the end of January 2008.

It has been 13 weeks since I started this log, time to re-measure...

 

[silverSurfer]

Workouts are going great, but diet not so good - I'm not eating as much as I should. I'll weigh in tomorrow morning and post.

 

[silverSurfer]

Well, I lost the challenge to get a 6-pack by January 5th. No worries, I have not given up!

 

[silverSurfer]

I decided to give dermal Formastane a try. I am using NP Formastane and Penetrate: 5g in 1 bottle. I started using it last Sunday and will continue using it for a few weeks, I'm still undecided of when I'll stop.

 

[silverSurfer]

End of week 20: Stats taken Sunday morning 1/20/2008 on empty :whip:
Weight: 172 lbs

I'm down 4 lbs from last week. I've been eating less than usual due to work schedule complications. Still not giving up... I really need to post updated pics...

 

[silverSurfer]

End of week 21: Stats taken Sunday morning 1/27/2008 on empty :whip:
Weight: 173 lbs (+1 from last week)

Training is good. Starting to feel some discomfort in my joints, probably due to the increase in weight and the Form drying me up some.

 

[silverSurfer]

well, i had a minor accident at the gym and busted open my index finger and broke some bone. i'm taking a break to let it heal. also stopped using form - will resume when i get close to normal again.

 

[silverSurfer]

Finger is looking better. Stitches are out and wound has sealed about 99%. There is a tiny little gap between the flesh and left side of nail that needs to seal. Finger is also stiff and bone will need time to fuse back together.

So, I think I'm ready to start light. I'll probably go to the gym today and do some legs, abs, and lower back. I'm tired of sitting around. Even light cardio was causing problems with the wound - stitches were stretching and caused separation, probably from the temporary increase in heart rate.

I'm also starting to re-develop some flab around my midsection, and that is a big no-no! :nono:

I was not all cut up before my injury, but I had lost some flab and I really don't want it back.

 

[silverSurfer]

Still can't quite grip weights with my left hand, so I've started with cardio workouts from p90x DVDs. Did cardio yesterday and plyometrics today.

Not sure what I'll feel like doing tomorrow.

 

[silverSurfer]

My finger is improving. My grip is much better but not 100%. I'm tired of not being able to comfortably lift.

 

[thewilman]

Godspeed on recovery SS! How is that P90x? Any good?

 

[silverSurfer]

P90X is great! I've done most of the workouts at least once. I tried it for a few weeks straight and started noticing results, got comments at work like "your face and your waist are looking leaner, but your upper body is getting big, what are you doing?" But all this was way before my finger injury.

My problem is the food. I'm eating a lot cleaner but still can't manage to eat my 6 meals a day... but not giving up. I just came back from the gym and had a decent cardio and upper body workout.

I may revert to the split day routine, that's what started giving me great results. Lift in the AM and P90X cardio in the PM. Stay tuned.

 

[silverSurfer]

Preparing for H-Drol cycle

Although my finger tip still hurts, it is nowhere near as bad as it was last week. I think I'm ready to kick it up a notch so I'm going to prep all next week to start a H-Drol only cycle in 2 weeks.
My prep will include:
* milk thistle for liver protection
* celery seed extract for blood pressure control
* saw palmetto for prostate protection
* trans resveratrol for cardiovascular protection and SERM-like effects
* P-5-P for basic energy and protein synthesis as well as prevention of progestin induced gyno
* I've been using fish oil for a few months now and will continue using it to assist with lipid control.

My PCT will include:
* a continuation of the above
* Anabolic Innovation's PCT
* depending on what I learn during my cycle and how my body reacts to H-Drol, I also have Formastane and NP Trione (6-OXO)
* I do not have access to a SERM and will not risk buying one online. I know I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but I've thought about it enough and I am willing to give my cycle a try.

Most importantly, my focus will be on getting my diet and workouts back on track. I was doing good before my accident and I need a little boost not only for results but also for motivation.

 

[silverSurfer]

Adding details to the first post for my cycle, which starts tomorrow.

I've had a great week. Although my workouts did not go as planned, I got each major musclegroup worked twice. Very focused and intense. I don't attribute this to H-Drol - too early based on average logs. I can't wait for it to kick in... maybe it already did, but this is only my first week haha.

I'll post weight tomorrow, probably no changes...

So far so good. I started to feel something a couple of days ago. Not sure if it is due to H-Drol or the 20-rep squats, but whatever it is it feels like a light "ON" feeling slightly increasing every day.

Added more updates. Things are going good. I had a great full body workout today, haven't had one like this in a long time.

More updates added to first post. I really liked the Xtreme Tren, too bad the gov is adding it to the banned list. Oh well, at least I got to try it once and it worked great.

Not so impressed with H-Drol.

Added updates to first post (make sure to scroll down). Done with PCT. No issues to report thus far. Used Anabolic Innovation's Post Cycle Therapy for 30 days (1 bottle) at the recommended dose of 4 capsules daily (2 in the morning, 2 in the evening).

Planning on switching to CKD to get shredded for the summer. Stay tuned.

CKD started, I want my 6 pack! :bb2:

I used a ketostik yesterday and it shows KB content between 15 and 40, so it looks like I'm in ketosis. Let the fat loss begin

Last CKD workout of the week is hard! Sooooo tired, but I made it without a cheat! Carb-up here I come

 

[silverSurfer]

TMI: A lot of the food from the carb-up day has not emptied my intestines yet... so I'm going to weigh in tomorrow morning on empty, stay tuned...

 

[Jayhawkk]

hahah, have fun emptying those intestines

... went on vacation and came back to a full week of work, so my diet and workout plans slipped for a bit. Going to gym to weigh in this morning and will report back later.

Going to start another Xtreme Tren cycle today, this time solo. Will also use this to transition from CKD to TKD. I want to lean out some more without losing too much muscle.

I've decided to stop my log due to near zero interest from the AM community... I guess it is somewhat redundant since there are so many logs already.
