Current Weight Training: To Be Determined. in the process of buying new weights, machines, and finding room for them. Right now I have a bench, an all in one, and an eliptical.


Currently looking like: A crackhead hah


First of all, Anyone else have this dilema that I have. My right breast and bone structure sticks out about 1/2" or less than my right side. Again, its not so much bigger than the other, it's just that the bone seems a bit bigger?

As seen here:





Anyone have some input on good ways to improve my posture? hah my arms slag down pretty badly. Probably from working with computers for 10 years straight.







Thanks for looking. And answering my questioned if you did. I'll keep in touch.

Question, have you been working out since you first visited here, in May?

Your postue should improve with your weightlifting over time.

hey adam.

your diet looks great IMO.  good thing you're keeping track of it.  if you are consistently gaining 1 or 2 pounds a week, this is JUST where you need to be.

get a good training routine going and stay dedicated to both training AND your diet.  you will see results.

you mentioned your goal is to be around 185-200 pounds?   is this LEAN muscle at 8% body fat?  or a goal weight for a bulk?

if you wanna be 185ish pounds at 8% BF,  you'll need to bulk WELL past 200 pounds.  probably around 210.. or close to it.

goodluck, keep up the hard work

RippedChick,
 
I have been on and off recently with my atempts to quit smoking and getting my garage cleaned out and getting new equipment.
 
Iwrote this journal to give me something to look forward to and get my butt back into the 'workout mentality' of things.
 
Good to know about my posture. i think its a really bad flaw of mine and  can't stand it.
 
 
 
Fox,
 
Thanks man. Im looking to get @ 200 with of course the least amount of BF% but im not too concerned at this point. im just looking to bulk first, and eventually cut down 10-15lb's like you said to get myself ripped. But honestly. Ripped isn't priority on my list. it's gaining another 50 lb's safely and keeping it going for the rest of my life.
 
 
Just so you know. I will not be writing a log daily. i may have questions, but I have a book where I keep my logs, and every week or every 2 weeks I will be posting results along with photos and sizes.
 
Thanks for looking.

hey bro.  you shoulda seen me back in january when i joined and put pictures up.   my posture was HORRIBLE.  ask ripped.. i'm sure she remembers.

if you don't have deadlifts in your training, i suggest you start adding those in a.s.a.p.  

i had never done them before, and BOY... let me tell you, those drastically helped improve my posture.. not to mentioned the strength in all other areas.

ah yes. I remember DL's very well. I was doing 150 DL's back in junior year of high school.
 
thats probably the last time i actually "WORKED OUT" was in high school. Junior year. popping 20 vitamins a day, drinking criatine like it was going outta style and adding L-glutamine with the mix. basically pooping out water the first few weeks of training. (sorr yfor the image)
 
Not saying i want to be doing that again, but i also wasn't eating 6 times a day and only did it for 3 months. :(
 
Anyways. Thanks for your input fox. appreciated.

Just so you know (and silver you should know better), I'm thehardway, not rippedchick, (I do ewish I had her boduy though).


Good luck SilentSamurai. Don't let not having yet quit smoking stop you from lifting, or anyother type of work out.

OOPS!!! hahaha im so sorry :(

i'll be more careful next time.

Thanks for the best wishes. i'll do my best.

i know hardway.. but go back and re-read what i posted.

i mentioned that MY posture was horrible back in january, and rippedchic (not you...) mentioned that I should do deadlifts b/c my posture was horrible.

that's why i said ripped instead of hardway.  but oh well.. i feel like i'm making a big deal out of nothing.  i remember that day real well though.

I though it was something like that Mr. Fox .

Didin't mean to ruffle your feathers.

ok,

It has been a month since i've posted my journal. My appologies to everyone for not keeping track of this dang thing. I've been doing through alot this past 2 weeks, but in a good way.

Todays workout was weird. Was well hydrated and ate but i still have a weird light headedness about myself, but it only lasted about 15 minutes or so.
