how the hell did you drink that much creamSmile id be sick as f*** lol dont worry about the bench. like you said maybe try, and do it twice a week. as for the tricep extentions that you said sucked, im useless at that excercise i cant bring my arms up completly straight with any weight i must have retarded arms so i never do them lol. as ive said before keep pumping the iron and you will gain strength and muscle. ive been working out at the gym down the road from me in spain and have been doing bis and tris 3 times a week and i measered them last night and theyve grown a whopping  third of an inche lol in 1 week ish so there now 14.6 lol so i recon if you prioritise some body parts they will respond well so maybe try doing somthing completly new lol mind you il probly end up over training soon and collapsesing and dieingSmile. actually i wouldnt be surprized if that extra growth was just fat but maybe the extra work was what my arms needed im probly wrong. any way 10 out of 10 for the journal im failing miserablySmile.
keep up the good work!

I must admit i felt a tad ill after drinking it all in around 10 minutes.
I love cream, whenever im in a restaurant and the desserts come along, i see a MASSIVE pot of cream, watch my family pour poultry amounts on theres(to watch there weight), i then pour half on my dessert, and drink the rest, i LOVE cream, luckily it doesnt penetrate my metabolism lol.
I actually have pissed 2 fat people off to the extent of them actually hating me, they dont talk to me, because they see me eat and eat and eat and i gain minimal weight, and they sit there eating a tiny pasta dish thing that looks like a fish shat in a bowl and they gain 2lbs by the next day.

My biceps havent grown, the left ones got bigger so now its only 1/4" off the right one...but...the right one just isnt growing....I doubt its overworking...I know i put my arms through a lot but they used to grow like wildfire with this type of routine 6-7 months ago when they were 15" cold.

Yeh....But i had 15" cold arms weighing around 145-150lbs back in my "hay day" when i was uber thin LOL.

Maybe my genetic potential changed...

I think 18" might be too big...My dads near 20" and theyre just monstrous looking..il stick with 17

Yeah pretty easy when youre 250lbs odd though LOL.

Anyway

Ive been getting behind here

Week 8, Day 2
 
Tuesday 15th of August
Weight:153lbs
BF%:7%
Nutrition:standard+ no supps
 
Rest day-arms felt nothing, my god theyre resilient buggers, i concentrated curled my arms to death, felt bloody good.....I think the reason i dont feel soreness in my arms anymore is because i plaster work, while the trowel is only like .5lbs at most, it still does work your arms like mad, when youre plastering for 3-4 hours solid at a time, i think my arms are used to it, so they dont wear out.
 
Leg day today though(as its wednesday now lol) and im gonna rock and rooool with a 165lbs squat routine.
 
Time to catch up with you sheep! lol
 
If i am feeling suicidal i might for for 176lbs squat LOL.

Don't do it ;)  I am only doing 195lbs this week!
If you think at this pace, we are nearing 2 plates quite fast!

Try doing close grip chinups for your arms and see how they respond to that, not that you should be chasing anything, my arms never feel sore either, but I know its a big mass builder!

195lbs squat?! for reps? damn it all! lol.

Week 8, Day 3
 
Wednesday 16th of August
Weight:153lbs
BF%:7%
nutrition:standard
 
1st exercise:Deadlift
Notes:Last week i had trouble with 198lbs, and it did inhibit my movement, however i decided to think "screw it" and lapped on 210lbs of weight and had a go-heres the results
 
1x10@ 132lbs
1x8@ 176lbs
4x5@ 210lbs
1x4@ 210lbs(lost grip)
 
Im gonna stick with 198-210lbs for this exercise for another 2-3 weeks, so my back gets used to it, i cannot keep adding 10-20lbs each week now...I think the main reason is because im not gaining that much weight and a 210lbs 5x5 routine for someone at 6ft 153lbs is pretty ****ing impressive if i dont say so myself.
 
2nd exercise:squats
 
1x10@ 132lbs
5x5@ 165lbs
 
same with deads, im training with this weight for 2-3 weeks now, unless i find it too easy.
 
3rd exercise:dumbell rows
 
5x5@ 66lbs
 
4th exercise:legpress
 
5x5@ 200lbs
 
5th exercise:shrugs
 
5x5@ 100lbs

Right new plan for my routine layouts.

After i have completed week 12 i am going to take 1 whole week off, and when i start back week 14, i shall be incorporating some all new exercises and changes.

Change 1-Im not going to be posting my bodyweight every day, i shall post it sunday every 2 weeks.
Change 2-I will be changing my set/rep routine
The plan goes as thus
1x8
1x5
1x8
1x5
1x8

For every exercise, i shall be taking off around 10-20lbs each time i do the 8 rep workout, i feel the weights i use give me optimum strength/growth works, usually when i am on my 5th set, i am really struggling to get to rep 5, and once ive done rep 5, i feel fully worked, im glad i am able to get this as usually i used to either fail halfway through (like benching) or i used to feel half worked.

The set rep range might change

Change 3-I shall be starting creatine again, one drink 1.5 hours before workouts, which is the optimum time to take it, im hoping as its only 3 drinks a week, when cycling it usually involved 7-14 drinks a week (depending if you prefer one or two drinks a day) i should get little side effects.

Change 4-I shall be adding vast amounts of weight to my exercises
By week 14 i wish to be lifting more than i have ever done
My plans for the core exercises are as thus
week 9
deadlift:210lbs
squat:165lbs
bench:110lbs
week 10
DL:220lbs
squat:176lbs
bench:110 maybe 115lbs
week 11
DL:220lbs
squat:176lbs
bench:110 maybe 115lbs
week 12
DL:230lbs
squat:187lbs
bench:115 maybe 120lbs
week 13
rest
week 14
DL:250lbsx5
230lbsx8
squat:200lbsx5
187lbsx8
bench:132lbsx5
120lbsx8


I dont think this is impossible, the only problems i reckon i will come across is bench, though my bench strength has rocketed lately

Usually i train on 10kg plates + 20kg bar, sometimes i add on 2.5kg plates each side every other set to challenge myself, but now i can rack out a good 8-10 reps with 15kg plates each side, and while i use 15kg plates each side for my 5x5 when i can initially do 10 reps, is because my chest endurance sucks, my last rep set 5 at 15kg each side is bloody hard.

However that is a 5kg each side training gain in just 1-2 weeks, so im hoping to get to the big ol' 20kg plates (44lbs) by week 14.

I shall be adding new workouts as well

these are

Monday-chest and biceps
exercise 1:Bench (core exercise so always needed)
exercise 2:Twisting dumbell bench (Dont know if this is its name, but its where you start with the bulging parts of the dumbells pointing in the directions of your head and feet, then you turn it halfway and it points towards and away from your face.
exercise 3:Dumbell flyes (I like this workout and feel it helps my chest a lot)
exercise 4:reverse dumbell press (this is where your palms face your face, im hoping this will increase my chest size and strength
exercise 5:concentration curls (i do these by standing and letting my arm hang-feel the burn real good
exercise 6:lying down curls (I know ive been doing these in the past 3 weeks-but they work
exercise 7:close grip chinups (thanks sheep for the idea ;) )
exercise 8:Hammer curls
exercise 9:power cleans

Wednesday-back and legs
exercise 1-Deadlift (core exercise again needed all the time)
exercise 2-Squat (again, core exercise)
exercise 3-barbell lunges
exercise 4-stiff legged deads (yes i shall now be stiff legged deadlifting, mainly for my hammies as squatting never targets them
exercise 5-reverse flyes (good for traps, and lat part of the back i got told)
exercise 6-calf raises (hate doing calves but hey-they might end up strengthening my legs more)
exercise 7:leg press (again i like this exercise, it allows me to dead my legs which the squats may have failed to do entirely)
exercise 8:barbell rows (i think changing from dumbell to barbell will invite more growth, as my body will be using different stabilizer muscles with a barbell, as both areas of the back are being used rather than 1 side at a time

Friday-tris, abs and shoulders
exercise 1:Tricep kickbacks (Yes im keeping them, ive scived so many fridays though this is still a new routine for my body lol)
exercise 2:Body dips with weight on lap (have no instruments to make the weights hang, so do it via this method)
exercise 3:skull crushers (still havent properly done these yet
exercise 4:barbell han clean (shoulders, similar to shoulder press but also slightly different)
exercise 5:shoulder press (again, old but havent done this routine properly yet)
exercise 6:weighted crunches
exercise 7:cable crunches
EDIT:exercise 8:I MIGHT just do a standard 5x5 bench, as working my chest just that little bit does help, like i said i jumped up in training weight by 5kg each side in 2 weeks, thats when i was benching for fun during leg and tri days

Im hoping this new routine will increase growth and strength, i appear to have hit a temporary plataeu, at 155lbs nearly, which i can obviously beat, i think my body just needs more stimulating, hopefully this new workout will do it, however im still keeping my old one for the next few weeks to see if i can break the plataeu that way, regardless of weight gain between now and week 14-il be changing my routine to this one.


EDIT:I just read this post and realised my new routine is going to god damn well kill me, if that amount of work doesnt stimulate my body to grow-nothing will lol.

Im still gonna go for 4 days rest, i will never implement a 4 day workout i dont think...I like my rest, and think i will grow best with that rest.

If i dont gain weight-i might cut down the workload or the weight as i might be over training my muscles, but i thought overtraining was where you didnt give them enough time to rest, not working them to failure in the gym...not sure, either way il see what this routine does, im hoping to get a good 10-15lbs weightgain from it in the 8 weeks after i'll be using it for.

You are one crazy man doing back and legs together ;)  I hope it invites growth!

I still have 10 weeks left of my current plan.  I hope to have awesome lifts by then aswell.  but again, like you, bench is the problem.

haha!

Yeah yesterday i was so worn out from my workout i slept from 7pm til 8 am, which is 13 hours, and i ate like a damn monster, and woke up 1lb heavier, this is quite common for me actually, i always gain a good .5-1lbs right after a leg/back day.

The only reason i do it is because when i used to have them on seperate days id still have sore legs or back, and squats use a bit of both alternate muscle groups, squats use back a bit and deads use legs a bit.

I could do back day monday and leg day friday, but i dunno, either way im screwed-as i work on the weekends, and believe me, working one day after deadlifting or squatting the weight i do (with my strength remember) is not nice, ive done it before, and would rather not do it again lol.

Im gonna keep changing my workout every 8 weeks, 9th week rest, 10th week new workout, 19th week rest, 20th week new workout, of course ive already done 8 weeks now after tommorow so itl be different to that number wise lol.

I wanna be squatting 2 plates each side training by week 16
And i want to be training 3 plates each side on deadlift by week 18-20.
