I'm gonna miss my beer and cookies - Tuesday, August 01, 2006 12:29 PM
Okey Dokey, I just found this nifty little tool for keeping track of my training so I'll have to try and remember what I did when I started two weeks ago and go from there.
 
First off, I'm aiming at 4 days of hard lifting a week.  I've heard to lay off the cardio when trying to bulk up.  However, I've got a little more "padding" around the 'ol belly than I'm comfortable with so I'm going to try and slip a few sessions in a week.
 
Starting Day - Sunday, July 23, 2006
Starting Weight - 218 lbs.
Waist - 41 7/8 in.  wow I'm fatter than I thought
Chest - 43 1/4 in.
Left Bicep - 14 1/2 in.
Right Bicep - 14 1/4 in.
Neck - 16 in.
Left thigh - 23 in.
Right Thigh - 23 in.
Left calf - 16 in.
Right calf - 16 in.
 
lol, I've damn sure got some work to do.

Oh yeah, I also went to the driving range and hit 4 buckets of golf balls on Sunday.  Think I lost about 10 pounds in sweat.

Yeah 41.5" waist is huge man, i thought my dad was putting one some padding when he went up to a 36" waist lol.
 
Lost any weight yet?
Im interested to see how this goes actually, because i will probably need to cut when i get to about 230-240lbs and wanna get down to 220lbs of 7% BF like my goal says, and if this works well i might just mimic it
Thats right guys, sugars in fruits are bad, they are simple sugars which will make you FAT, I mean we all know monkeys eat mainly fruit and look! THEYRE VERY FAT!
Site will be up soon it didnt like me copying and pasting for some strange reason

You have no excuse to miss your leg or shoulder days. If you miss is on a certain day, then you should move your schedule to you do it on the NEXT training day.
 
You keep going like this, and you are going to end up like the rest of the fools in the gym. training chest, biceps, triceps and abs. Youve just started your program. If you dont show enough application and dedication now, then you dont have much of a chance of keeping it up in the long run. You must start strong and hard, and get into a regular routine.
 
So no more excuses! All the best.

Lol, thanks for calling me a fat boy Twistedlink.  Just kidding.  See, I'm not sure if I consider my waist measurement like most folks do.  I'm counting my waist measurement as the fattest part around my belly and love handles.  Plus, I got large wide hip bones to boot.  I like to describe them as "birthing hips"... that's if dudes were able to give birth lol.  Thanks for the post

Man Lynx, I feel like I've just been to the principal's office back in High School lol.  But... that's probably exactly what I need. 
 
Keep me honest dude, you're right.  It won't happen again... only in the most extreme cases, and those don't come around very often. 
 
Thanks for the words o' wisdom and encouragement.  Later gator.
 
P.S. Thanks for the exercise ideas in my other post.
