7/23/07
First day of diet and training was today.
Have to admit that i did not enjoy my breakfast XD, took me 1 hour to prepare my lunch and breakfast. (because of school) so i didn't find much fun in that.
Anyway just finished my first training "session"
Didn't last as long as i wanted, and i didn't do as many reps as i had planned in the routine, yet i thought it was allrite for a first "attempt".
Heres what i did;
Lasted 36mins.
Chest and Tris
Flat Bench Press: 10, 8, 6, 6
Incline Dumb Bell Press: 8, 8, 6
Military Press: 10, 6, 6
Weighted Bench Dips: 10, 8, 8
Standing Skull Crushers: 10, 10
Tri Pushdowns: 10, 8
(Need to work on my form)
Diet went well for today, none the less.

Yesterday - 7/24/07
No training.
Stuck to my diet well. Just have to get into the habit of drinking alot more water. (Having about 2-3 Litres a day now)
Today - 7/25/07
Back and Bis day.
Deadlift 10, 8, 6
Dumbbell Row 3x 10
Barbell Row 3x 10
Incline Bench Pull 2x 8
Barbell Shrugs 3x 10
Barbell Curls 10, 8, 6
Not going for as long as i would imagine. (I'm going around 36 mins) I think it's because i'm not resting as much as i should in between sets? Usually i rest about 30seconds in between sets, and around 60seconds in between changing excercises. Not sure if that's not enough or if it's too much. lol
Diet again, went as planned. So happy about that. lol

5/8/07 - Sunday (Weigh in for week 2)
Ok so, this morning i weighed myself as soon as i got up. (Same time as last week)
And well, you could say i was a little surprised. lol.
My first week, i gained 1 pound. (Which i thought was pretty good)
My second week, i gained 2.6 pounds!!
Most of that is probably fat tho. Altho i can't say for sure, seeing as i don't have calipers, but still me being an ultimate ecto. That is pretty good. :P

6/8/07 - Monday
Chest and Tris
Flat BB Bench - 10, 10, 10, 8
Incline DB Press - 10, 10, 10
Shoulder Press - 10, 10, 10
Weighted Dips - 10, 10, 10
Standing Skull Crushers - 10, 10
Triceps Pull Downs - 10, 10
Ok, was a good W/O. Lasted just over 45 minutes.
Only thing is, i think my grip is to narrow on the BB Bench press, i'm thinking this because i can really feel the tris, but i can barely feel my chest working. My grip is about at my shoulders.
Can anyone clarify? lol

Allrite well i figure i should post my goals and some stats.. lol
Stats from 2 weeks in.
Age - 16 (Turn 17, Sep 12th)
Height - 5'10"
Weight - 116 Pounds (52.3 kg)
BF % - I'm guessing from 6-10%
I would take measurements but i can't find a tape measure anywhere.
Goals:
Obviousily. I need to gain weight. lol. I've always been very skinny.
SO... I want to get to atleast 165 lbs with low bf %. I know this will take a LONG time, but i'm prepared and ready to take the challenge. :D
I'm very good when it comes to the diet side of things. So no worrying about that. I cook all of my own meals. Which gets annoying but i've made that choice.
