Hey guys how is everyone?
Changed my title to get some hits hopefully =x
About me:
I'm 22, have been in Iraq for 4 months now, and have decided to use the rest of my time to work out as much as I can. Only problem is I work 13 hours a day and 7 days a week, 110 days now without a day off =x I was at 160 pounds when I got here, and have been hitting the gym with a 2 days WO 1 day rest schedule for about 3 weeks now. Been doing mostly dumbells since I do not have a good partner due to the scheduling conflict, sucks kind of because I can't really do bench without a spotter. I'm at 172 now with quite a bit more definition, and am 5'9"
Day 1 has looked like this:
Excercise Weight Reps
DB press 30 3x8-10
Hammer Curl 25 3x8-10
DB curl 25 3x8-10
machine fly 30 3x8-10
seated row 70 3x8-10
cable fly 20 3x8-10
tri extension 20 3x8-10
lat pulls 50 3x15
a few other randoms
10min HIIT - either 2000m row or 30/60s(4mph jog 9mph run)
I've upped all my weight this week by 10-15 pounds
Day 2
upright seated leg press 180 3x10
leg extension 50 3x10
reverse leg extension 50 3x10
calf raises 180 3x10
Ab workout consisting or roman seat, leg raises, tons of situps and some crunches.
Our selection of supps is bad here, mostly muscletech stuff, but I've been using BSN protein powder, Creakic pills, and anabolic halo (i know, sad =x)
Just found nutraplanet though and ordered some Formadrol extreme, Anadraulic state PWO, HGHPro, and nutrapro. I think they should be ok together, anyone have advice there?
Diet: not great, chow hall with certain hours= not alot of flexibility. I eat two helpings of the cleanest meat they have that meal (fish or chicken normally) with lots of veggies. Breakfast is 2 bowls oatmeal, 3 hardboiled eggs with yolks removed, fruits, a fried potatoe patty or 2. I drink 2x v8 with every meal and a little milk box.
Goals: maybe 200ish, ripped, 6pack, etc.
Main thing I am wondering about is when you guys do your workouts, do you do one excercise to completion (all sets and reps) and then move to the next or do you rotate? I haven't really built a solid workout yet, but this past week I have thrown in a lot of random exercises, and upped all my weights. I think I'm doing ok, because I've gained 12 pounds and toned out a bit, but then again I may be doing completely wrong and was just out of shape Welcome pointers on everything here, thanks guys! Looking forward to being here!
