Well, I gained 2 pounds this week. 1.7 lbs muscle, .3 lbs fat. Not bad, but cardio could make it better. I'm still around 19% BF. And I must say, my diet sucked the last half of the week. I'm going to try one more week with minimal cardio. If I still don't see great results, I'm gettin back on that stairmaster. I just need to see how I do with not eating the junk I ate this weekend. Not saying I'm not happy with gaining almost 2 lbs of muscle, but I didn't want to gain the fat, and some of that could be water in the LBM because I had some soda the last couple of days. Overall, not too bad, but could be better -- although I think I am a mesomorph and not an endomorph like I thought I was.. April is coming fast!
It's kinda strange. My skin feels smooth lately for some reason. Smoother than normal. Might be the extra fat I have been eating.

D: Shoulders & Triceps
1. Lever Shoulder Press
2. Barbell Upright Row
3. Cable Row
4. Dumbbell Triceps Extension
5. Cable One Arm Pushdown
Biggest change was my shoulder routine. I took the Dumbbell bent over row with elbows extended out because i thought my back was getting to much of the workout. I think this will allow me to hit biceps and triceps a little more intense than my other routine. I'll try and stick with this one for a little bit and see what results I get.
Noticed a lack of Military Press, is there a reason? The upright row is more of a Trap exercise, consider switching it out for Front Plate Raise or something similar that hits the Delts. Otherwise looks pretty good to me.
This shows you what a Front Plate Raise is: http://www.abcbodybuilding.com/exercise3/frontplateraise.htm
Trust me, it absolutely terrorizes the front Delts.

But it's only one beer.....
And that's all it takes to kill your great week of workouts. Sure, I could have thrown in some cardio to make my life easier this past weekend, but NOOOOO. So, what do 3 birthdays, pizza, and cake do to a week of pretty good lifting? DEFLATE THE MUSCLES! It sucks that I worked so damn hard in the gym this past week and I lost muscle and fat. Yeah, my nuitrition sucked Friday, Saturday, AND Sunday. It's only ONE cheat day, not 3 1/2! But, birthdays come but once a year. Too bad that wasn't mine...LOL.
So, yeah.....
Weight: 220lbs
Bodyfat: 19%

Ok, maybe its the timing of my meal (about 2 hours before workout), but seems like tonight, after I did squats, my stomach felt queasy and I thought I was going to HURL! I felt like that throughout my whole workout after that tonight. I couldn't even down my post shake! I came home (took about 20 minutes from gym), waited another 20 minutes, and I started to feel a little better. I downed my protein shake and some gatorade, and then I started to eat and felt like i really was going to hurl again! I think it might have had something to do with my meal before my workout. For reasons beyond my control, I couldn't cook anything at home, so I went out to eat. Stupid me decides not to go to subway and decides to have a cheat meal. I went fast food, and I know I ate too much, but man, I don't think I can handle greasy stuff anymore. Threw my stomach all off! 
It kinda sucks because of my medical condition, I can't possibly hurl. If I do, you might as well tag my big toe and send me to the BIG sleep! It really sucks when I really do have to and I just gag/dry heave for like 2 days straight. I think I might have the world's best abs underneath this flab because of that...LOL. I just hope I didn't catch food poisoning or something...that would SUCK!
Man, I'll never look at greasy food the same way again!

I might just be the most idiotic person alive! I figured out why I was feeling "sick" I just started drinking Moutain Dew before my workouts to get that boost of energy (not to mention to help me stay awake). I was drinking 1 can about 1-2 hours before. The last 2 days I forgot, and drank some right before I went to the gym. Something must not agree with me when I workout and drink anything but a shake and water immediately before my workout! Right now my stomach is queasy, but I'm starving. but it feels like I won't be able to hold it down. I don't get this! LOL

If your looking for a sugar boost, Instead of drinking a junky soft drink before the gym, you should have some fruit or something. Much better for you

Great job man!!! The hard work is paying off. You shouldn't get too much flak for being a easy gainer. You've worked hard and gone through alot of crap. I really enjoy reading up on your progress and stumbling blocks. Everytime something knocks you down you get back up and keep going..gives me motivation as well. 
not that I try to motivate anyone, but that's awesome that my motivation helps others to stay motivated. 
Doing barbell Squats has cured my worries and I am going to probably change it up next week a little bit. Are there any workouts for shoulders to isolate them? My left shoulder is smaller than my right one from what I can tell. 
Just a little bit of a nudge to get myself outta the funk I seemed to be in last week.
