Diffie's 12 week commitment to MASS

Hey guys, I'm new to the site but figured I'd go ahead and make a post. I started a new workout routine about 2 weeks ago. I will attach a link to my journal that I've started on another site, then maintain it daily here. I will also attach progress pics as taken. Here is the link... http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?p=6857304#post6857304

"The only easy day was yesterday!"
"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13

Ok, so I woke up weighing 174. I'm not real sure it is a good thing or not, especially since my goal is 200+.
After setting through another day of work I was ready to get to the gym and pump some iron. The workout felt pretty good, but I don't remember a day that it hasn't. I've gotten a good pump and felt it everyday of the workout. This is what it looked like...

Chins 5x10- -50, -50, -50, -50, -50
I used the assist machine due to the fact that my lats are pretty weak.

Dumbbell row 3x12- 45, 45, 45
Latt pull down 3x12- 90, 90, 90
Seated row 3x12- 100, 100, 100
T-bar row 3x12- 45, 45, 45
Wrist curls(behinid the back) 3x20- 80, 80, 80

"The only easy day was yesterday!"
"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13

Do me a quick favor....

Tell me how many calories a day you have calculated to reach your goal and break down for the last week if you are reaching that.

It's odd to me you are going for a mass gain but losing weight.

Either you aren't eating enough or you may be burning too many calories.  12 weeks probably isn't enough time at all to gain 30 lbs of quality muscle.

If you go too fast, you risk just packing on the fat as well.

It felt great to get back in the gym. I had an awesome chest workout. Me and my workout buddy pumped it out with some pretty good intensity, then I ran to the softball field for a game, it was pretty fun even though we got our asses handed to us. Oh well, I guess everything felt good compared to bein locked up in the barracks all day. So, here's what the workout looked like...

Incline dumbbell press 3x12- 50, 50, 50
Incline dumbbell flies 3x12- 25, 25, 25
Decline bench press 3x12- 135, 135, 135
Machine bench press 3x12- 115, 115, 115
Cable crossovers 3x12- 70, 80, 80
Seated calf raises 5x15- 100, 100, 100

"The only easy day was yesterday!"
"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13

Another pretty good workout today. I feel more or less drained after got through with it all. My workout buddy decided to change workouts on me so I'm basically on my own for this now. Oh well, it's all good. I'll see what kind of results I get. If any of you guys have any ideas to make it better let me know. Thanks.
