just had my post-post workout meal 100+ g of carbs from rice

i ate my bro's bowl of rice as well.

my lats and tri's are ABSOLUTELY blasted, and dont think my forearms escaped
the cruel punishment
smile.gif

did 3 sets of pull ups for around 4-7 reps

then i did, closegrip pull ups for around 3-4 reps 2 sets

then i did lat pull downs for 150 lbs 5 reps 2 sets

afterwards was a barbell row for 165 lb 7 reps 3 sets.

close grip tricep pulldowns were done at 90 lbs 6 reps 2 sets

and then the overhead extensions 30 lbs 8 reps 3 sets

shrugs for 335 lbsx 10 reps 3 reps (behind the back)
285 lbs were used for the front same repititions

afterwards i did forearm curls 95 lbs 6 reps 3 sets

my lats were hit hard especially after realizing that it was one of the major muscle groups lagging behind.

good shit bro.
may i ask whats with the lower rep range? are you trying to go for more strength? when trying to bulk up i usually stick to the 8-12 range, plus i get a better pump that way. sometimes ill go down to like 6 reps on the last set if i dont lower the weight.
oh and about your farting. i just switched my diet up to a somewhat bulk. tapering my calories up so ill be at atleast 4,000 a day by next monday. and i guess my body isnt used to the huge increase in food, i been farting all day non stop. its crazy i was at the chiro today gettin adjusted and getting a massage by this milf and i had to hold it in it hurt so bad! unsure.gif
anyways, keep up the hard work!

im noticed it helps alot for mass, like legs and arms, but im guessing my other bodyparts need more of the higher rep range.

ill see how well this switch up goes, if its still slow in growth, ill be definitely switching to 8-12 rep range

gold bond gets the job done for that. ive also heard baby powder is good too. the worst is when your real sweaty and ur doin cardio or at work and u gotta spread ur legs apart when u walk so they dont rub making u look retarded.

been lethargic as fuck these past few days and i realized it was because i was having too little carbs throughout the day, when i started taking in about 300-400 g of carbs a day i noticed my lethargy is completely gone.

Word, same thing happened here and it SUCKS. Fucking rotator cuff or shoulder impingment or whatever it is, can't bench, can't do certain shoulder lifts. Incline is OK and DB's arent as bad, but Fucking-A I wanna BENCH!

i hear ya guys. my shoulder has been tweaked for like the past month or so. no flat bb benching. i have no problem on the incline. no problem with any shoulder workout, not even military press. although im getting better since i started taking cissus, now im able to flat db bench with little to no pain. i think i will try some bb benching next time chest day comes around.

hmmm ive noticed a bit of improvement when i switched things up to 8-12 reps.

and this has only been one or two weeks, im going to give this a while and ocasionally switch up to 4-6 reps, my delts have been giving me the green light that 8-12 reps actually works better.

2 months of bulk and then a slight cut during the september period to prevent having too much bodyfat. as rich stated, we gotta look like bodybuilders not powerlifters.

although im weak as hell to be a powerlifter anyway.

im trying to lay out my goals as of now

short term -

bench 315lbs 1 rep max <-hopefully by the end of this year
deadlift 375 lbs 1 rep max<- hopefully by the end of this year
squat 375 lb 1 rep max
200 lbs at around 13-14 percent bodyfat
now this is also after my slight cut at the or near the end of the summer
i hope i can have more size on delts and lats to improve proportions and look like a beast tongue.gif

max ot worked extremely well for me however the delts and lats were quite understimulated due to the fact that not enough exercises were used for these muscle groups.

i will be focusing alot on these muscle groups in particular and also watching for asymmetry (its pretty much all over my body, asymmertical pecs, lats, legs)

long term- hopefully bench 355 1 rep max by the end of school year(hopefully better)
squat 400+
deadlift 400+

be around 200 lbs at 7 percent bodyfat.

at 5'7.5" im sure 200 lbs lean is going to look pretty darn nice, hopefully itll be by the end of senior year but if not, its only another motivation to eat better and
lift harder.

adding some things to my diet,

since jason was strongly advocating the use of real gains, im going to buy it (seeing how it has very little sugar i thought that was a good thing too)

i stayed up till 2 last night thinking about different ways i can fix my diet around the wrok schedule i had, i didnt wanna say i eat it because im busy with work.

eating 2-3 hours,and i made sure i get at least 25 g protein in each meal.

so this is what it came down to on regular days (no work)

4200 Calories
302 g fat<-about...... 2726 calories from fat
360 g Carbs<- about..... 1440 calories from protein
266 g protein<- about .......1034 calories from protein

yikes about the fat but im guessing most of it is coming from real gains addition to my diet.

im having 2 servings of it a day.

on work days im having
4180 Calories


oh and vegetables are definitely in there, mostly greens.

Fat is good!! biggrin.gif

It really is. All about balance. There is a lot of fat listed there though. There's really not all that much fat in Real Gains and the fat that is in there is from the Flax and MCT. Which is all good fat and only amounts to 6g for a 3.5 scoop (155g) serving. How much Real Gains are you taking in those two servings? Good amount of calories though. Keep that up.

ohmy.gif Dude, I don't know what the heck your eating or how you did your math, but that is WAY too high. Real Gains from what I see only contains 6 g of fat.

Increasing your fat a bit to support healthy hormone levels and get additional calories is great, but there is a point when it will simply do more harm than good.

Actually, your diet looks relatively low in fat from what you posted and could probably use a boost of some good fats.
