That's a wrap.  Arms at full pump 16 1/2 inches.  Hopefully I can get back up to almost 17 and then get over 17... like 17 1/4 would be cool with me.  I got alot of stretch marks on my legs right now.. across the top and the inside.. Got to be careful how fast I grow and put lotion on.

scale weight is moving up on 210 fast but still not there yet..  Not bad for 4 weeks though.  The gym scale said I was like 197lbs in the beginning :( How ****ty!!

Oh I forgot to mention.. I did quite drinking.   I have not had a drink for 8 days now, I stayed in last night eating food and my body builder friends won't let me drink anymore..  They are allowed to slap me in the face if I drink.. I don't really want to be slapped by one of them.. That would seriously hurt !  I am going to the bar tonight to watch the fight but I will be drinking Water and eating food.   I may also have a friendly date tomorrow with this really really cute blond girl!  That should be nice!  I really enjoy company from a woman sometimes..  I am not really looking for anything right now though, I just want to get big as hell.  I will get over 220!! err!

Hey IBB props on quiting drinking..I know it was hard for me to quite smoking and stop drinking every weekend..I bet it was the same with you.

Anyways I just started back in the gym  and I was looking for something to do. Is the routine your doing right now an expert routine because its a split?

Currently Bulking Big Time:

Started 9-7 @ 147 lbs

Goal - To not stop bulking until spring and gain at least 3 lbs a month

mmm.. I donno if I would call it an expert routine.  I just hit different parts of my lower body how you would your upper body.   I do it in hopes to spike test levels, also because I spend so much time on the upper body through out the week.

Just keep eating and keep training.. There truly aren't alot of short cuts.  It's going to take 10 years to be that dude in the magazine no matter what you do or take.   It will take about 5 years before your even slightly contempt with your self.

Oh yeah.. Looking much better :)  I can't wait to take some picture in like another 4 weeks. 


Anyway I am not going to write everything from today..  I did hit the 75 dumbells for shoulder press for 6 fairly easy reps. 

I am going to try to hit the 75's for 8 reps next monday...  Dumbell shoulder press...  Then the following week I may actually try for the 80's for 5 reps maybe 6 if I can.. That might be moving a bit fast though.. I should get the 75's under control for 10 reps.  I want to hit the 90's in 6 weeks.

Are these standing shoulder press'?  If so you have me beat by a landslide.

LoL hell no they are not standing, they are seated upright. 


I missed logging a couple work outs.. I am progressing alot on my lunges.  Actually I am progressing on everything like a mad man.


Incline Bench:
I did these different I did them all starting from my chest never locking out.
135 x 15
185 x 10
205 x 10
225 x 4

Incline dumbells:
75 x 10
85 x 8
90 x 8

Then I finished it off with a drop set cables 2 different motions.   My training partner did pretty good.. he got up to 275 x 2 on the incline.  The boy is getting stronger lol.  he did 105's on the incline press.  


Anyway.. I see my self doing 100's on the incline not to far down the road here.  I should be doing reps with 225 soon enough fairly easy .  I no longer hit flat bench anymore and won't be..

Tomorrow is my arm day.. pretty excited about it.

Okay so I did shoulders today... 

I did cable cross overs and then bending over did the cross overs like a reverse type fly motion.. 

I also started with dumbell shoulder pressed and was shocked.. I think it's time to make a video again.

I hit the 70's from my shoulders to only 3 quarters up steady tempo for 10 reps 2 sets.   It's time for me to rep out the 80's for 8 reps.   I will get up 90's and 100's in the next couple months I know it's going to happen.   

I really did make that look easy.. LoL!

Was curling 55's for seated dumbell curls.. I did 10 reps good form twist at top. 


I am making my dumbell shoulder press video tomorrow.. I know a bunch of people on here want to see me do it.. Cause I guess anything above 70's is like really good or something.. You know I don't really see to many people messing with big weight on the shoulders though at the gym.. so maybe it is..  Anyway I will take a video tomorrow!! I am going to try my hardest to get it up!  I think I am going to go 60's 70's and 80's..  I am going to try to get 8 reps with 80's.. Hopefully with really good form too.. It really depends on how the 70's feel though.

how many times can you rep the 80s for shoulders ive been stuck on 6 for a while..

DEADLIFTS 420 * 6

LoL I just tried them and I can't do very many lol.. It sucked!! I did the 60's and 70's easy for 10 but I barely hit the 80's for 3 my self then assisted on 3 more.   I am not sure why the big drop in strength from 70's to 80's that really sucks!!! :(  O well maybe next week!! I did not get my video done either cause I was training with my male partners. 

Okay Okay!! I HAVE BEEN BUSY NOT MUCH TIME TO LOG!!

So I started doing barbell Tbar rows.. I did max out 5 plates for 8 reps.   Everything else 2 - 4 plates was done with 12 reps. 

I lung with 65lb dumbells.. I know still not very good so I will keep working on that, it's a new lift though for me.. 

I hit the 100's on the incline for 6 reps. That's garbage I should have gotten 8.. but that's still a personal record for me I think.. 

I hit the 80's but for 5 reps non assisted..  That's no good!! I got to do it atleast 8 times for a video. 


Body weight was 212 a couple days ago.. We will see how things turn out.  I may actually hit 220.. who knows.  I am coming up on it pretty fast.

Are you still on the glutamine Ibendbarbells? I take it religiously but I remember Marc (if I remember correctly) saying it carried little effect in research.

Also I found my dumbell seated press went up by switching to military presses using a barbell where you can push the weight up using your whole body. It's probably seen as cheating but it has really worked in terms of getting stronger - I started doing them after watching Milos Sarcev via The Fit Show.

Currently using Mri black powder, BCAAs, animal cuts, beta alanine, milk thistle, Cytosport whey, ON casein, Zmax, T bomb II, flax seed, carnitine & conjugated linoleic acid. Going to hit M-drol in the new year.

standing military press? or seated military press?




Doing well again.. I did 110 for my skull crushers that was upright behind my neck.  I did 12 reps... so that was pretty damn good..  I also hit my calves today.   Tomorrow I am going to work my legs :( ****! :( I hate leg day, anyway I want to see if I can finally do that routine my buddy showed me.. I probably still can't finish .


1 plate for 50 2  plates for 40 3 plates for 30 4 plates for 20 and 5 plates for 10.  ::Leg Press::

Hmmm.. so Umm.. I hit back again today.. very very nice.. 3 plates on the hammer strength was fairly easy but 4 plates was really hard I am not there yet I will have to work on that. 

Next up is my chest day.. I am fairly excited about it too I might add.. I am skipping tomorrow and pounding my chest on thursday.  

I did make videos for you guys.. Nothing impressive though dumbell shoulder press for an easy 10 reps with 70's I did 80's but I was not sure if I needed a spot. I will video tape it next week cause I should be able to hit 10 with the 80's by then.  

I took a video doing 90's on the incline for 10 reps..  That's kind of impressive I guess.. well maybe not really.. plenty of guys do that at my gym..  I will try to get the 100's on video for ya on the incline. 


Thursday I will be hitting the flat bench for the first time in months...  I haven't done flat in a very very long time.. Lets see how this goes..
