Never kept a day-by-day log before of my workouts, and I since I'm still working out at home for the time being due to the pandemic, I figured now would be as good a time as any. Before everything this year was set on fire, and never stopped burning, I was transitioning to intake more calories to try and bulk up, and then the gyms all shut down... Now here we are.

I'll also include a current body pics.

Everything is currently with dumbbells.

Current stats:

Height: 5'10

Weight: 152 lbs

So, first log--

June 13, 2020

Chest day

Chest flyes 5 x 15: First two sets at 15 lbs, then move to 20 lbs for the last three
-Super set-
Knuckle push ups 5 x 12

Incline bench press 5 x 15: First three sets at 22.5, then move to 17.5 for the last two
-Super set-
Incline hex press 5 x 12: Same weights and sets as above

Upright row 5 x 12: 30 lbs

Usually I do shoulders after the chest exercises, but my shoulders have been bugging me bit the past couple days, so I dropped them to let my shoulders rest some.

Edit: Weight of flyes and presses need to be doubled because I forgot I hold weights in two hands 😅

If I could make a suggestion, I find that naturally skinny guys do really well with basic full body workouts 3x week and a lot of food. But no matter what workout you choose, choose a lot of food.

Don't worry too much about putting on bodyfat, loosing weight is much easier then building muscle, the extra food and bodyweight will make you stronger. Stronger moves more weight and moving more weight builds more muscle. Keep the reps heavy with good form for 6-10 reps, slightly higher for legs.

Good luck and stay hungry

Thanks for the advice. Oddly enough, I didn't see a lot of improvement until I moved to these higher rep programs about a year ago, and then I began seeing improvements almost every other week. For a long time I did exactly what you suggested. I guess my body is just kinda weird.

Nope, not weird at all, everyone is different. When doing the full body stuff you just gotta keep it simple.

Bench
Squat
Military press
Deadlift or power clean
Pull ups

Or the 20 rep squat program is another good one.

But I can't argue results. If the higher reps work better then stick with it.

The best workout is the one you can follow and progress at the longest.

My current regimen has definitely been the most effective of everything I've tried so far. Right now the thing is just getting enough food down. When the outbreak started, my local grocery stores were really inconsistent about keeping their meat sections stocked with chicken and beef. There were a couple weeks at a time where they wouldn't have any raw chicken or beef, so everything came to halt unless I only wanted to eat really high fat/salt prepackaged stuff. Until recently, my only goal was to try and maintain, and not get too weak, but now that I have access to more food I'm trying to restart everything.

Calories are king, I know fat is more calorie dense but carbs are easy to eat. And carbs definitely will make you feel stronger.

My first bulking diet was mainly pbj and milk.

Throughout the day i would eat 6-8 pbj and 6-8 cups of milk, I had a n2large shake after my workout and a steak and potatoes for dinner. 1 a gallon of water and that was it. On the weekends I would pretty much eat whatever I wanted but Monday through Friday it was the same

With the pandemic worsening in Texas, and my inability to find heavier weights, I'm going to just be devoting a day only to deadlifts, and pushing sets and reps as much as I can. Hopefully that will be enough to offset the lighter weights.

Current weight: 157

Starting to see a lil bit of growth in my arms, which is really nice to see. Arms have always been the hardest part to get to grow for me.

Sad to see a lil bit a definition go with the abs, but it's not like I'm gonna be showing them off in public anytime soon.

Needing to take some time off of direct shoulder; Found that my form for DB fly has been way off. Before the lock down I had been using an upright fly machine, and had been able to retract my shoulders without thinking about it, but haven't been doing it on a flat bench. Oops. Better late then never to correct it I suppose, but I'm just lucky I didn't mess up my shoulders beyond some minor soreness that should go away now.

I’m sick, and am taking antibiotics for the next week or so, so no exercising until my condition improves a bit.

Yeah, me too. I feel completely "off" mentally and physically if I take too long a break, and it really helps deal with stress. I've had so much stuff get in the way of maintaining any sense of a normal schedule lately, in addition to everything going on in the world right now.

I heard that. I haven’t been in the gym since last Friday. Had strep and a heavy cough in my throat (from nasal drip) and have been on antibiotics. BUT, when I did get to the gym Monday nothing ached or had crunching when I pressed lol so, there’s that.

Antibiotics really suck, at least for me. They usually mess up my digestion to the point where working out while taking them makes me feel like running on fumes because my body isn’t actually taking the nutrients I need from food.

I was pretty skeptical of it at first too when my trainer showed it on the workout program he came up with, but I've gotten way more results following his advice than any previous workout programs I've done before. It's actually still short a few reps from what I usually do, but I'm still working back up to it.

Current weight is steady at about 160 now, and my lifts are just about back to pre-COVID levels. My legs and lower back are still a bit weaker than before since I wasn’t able to train those as effectively with dumbbells at home, but my arms have been able to continue to improve.
