Fun story
This new whey I got is sweetened with aspartame, I can tell because I get the biggest fucking headache in the world after I drink a shake. Pisses me off because I have like 3 lbs of the stuff left and there is no fucking way im not gonna finish it.
Sticking with Grow or MD next time.

Nothing special for tri’s, great DC calves session though. I love that burn. Fellas if you struggle with calves and aren’t doing them DC style, get with the fucking program 
Hopefully I’ll have pics tomorrow.[/quote]
Damn waylander, I take it yer shoulder is feeling better? Haahaha.
You could seriously do some massive damage if you did a powerlifting meet.
Plan for tomorrow is to hit a 250 front squat, then based off of that go for 275 and 300 respectfully. The rest of this week will be light stuff to get the blood pumping again.
Girlfriend was sick all weekend and I couldn’t sleep last night (Sunday) so I was very meh at 6am this morning. I managed to put in the bare minimum to beat the logbook but am dissappointed as I know I could have done so much better if I wasn’t tired.
EZ Bar Curls (EZ bar weight not included)
(40kg) 88lb x 13, 7, 5 (25RP)
Reverse one-arm cable curl
(10kg) 22lb x 12 straight set (might switch these out for pinwheels soon)
Hammer Strength seated calf extensions
(80kg) 176lb x 12 DC style
Seated leg curls
(80kg) 176lb x 12, 6, 5 (23RP)
Leg Press
(260kg) 572lb x 12
(220kg) 484lb x 21 (could have and should have done a lot more but I was just not in the mood this morning).

Yah shoulder’s fine but the tendinitis or whatever it is is still a bitch. I won’t be able to workout for like 9 days starting the 6th b/c of work so I’m just pushing the envelope as far as I can and then just focus on recovery for that 9 day period.

I know the feeling man, is it both shoulders or just one?

In light of the progress photos, I thought maybe some progress vids wouldn’t be a bad idea. I thought of this when going through my youtube account and seeing how much stronger I’ve gotten in the past year and a half. March of 2008 I had 265x5 and July of 09 I had 335x3. So in 16 months, 1 1/3 years, I increased my bench 70 pounds for reps even though it’s two less reps than before and my max is about 90 pounds more since that time frame as well.
Anyways:
265x5 3/13/2008
275x5 4/16/2008
295x5 09/02/2008
315x4 05/09/2009
335x3 07/14/2009
Enjoy haha.[/quote]
Awesome progress man. Can’t believe you don’t get sore shoulders benching like that.
I saw your deadlifting vids too. You could probably improve the form abit on those for the sake of your lower back. Not sure if you have or not since the vids are a little old.

It’s my right pec/delt tie in
Erm i need help with putting on weight lol… been so busy the last few weeks in work, weighing myself went out of my mind… so i just did there.
Somehow in a MONTH i’ve only put on 2kgs ??? How’s that even humanly possible !
Anyone have a shake they make that you can drink during the day with alot of calories ?
Would be most appreciated, feel pretty pissed i just wasted an entire MONTH.
What are you eating now and what are you weighing?
You know, most people here would be ecstatic with a 5lb gain each month if it was all muscle 
I spent about 3 hours reading up about DC today since I’m looking for a new routine.
Wrote down some exercises and basically had to change every single one since I couldn’t get the equipment I wanted 
The stretches bring a whole new level of pain to training. Just got home and I’m already fucking sore.
I tried some Smith Reverse Grip benching, and it feels pretty uncomfortable on my wrists. I didn’t use alot of weight, but I can’t imagine going heavy on it.

How far out did you let you hands travel ? Your hands can travel way out almost to the rings, another tip is to try push the bar towards your feet (obviously you cant) but try emphasize it.
You actually gripping it or just letting it rest in the palm of your hand ?

If you’ve been making progress in the gym with the weights used for reps on exercises then its not a wasted month, relax. lol Also isn’t 2kg like 5 lbs? Sounds about right to me if you’re gaining mostly lean tissue. Obviously you can always have spurts where you get more, and months where you get less…but 5 lb gain a month is not a waste at all. 5 lbs a month = 60 lbs a year man.
Looking at the diet you listed…are you not ingesting any pre/peri/post workout carbs?
I saw the same thing Josh, looks like he takes in about 100 grams of protein but no carbs during his work out.
I try follow the Anabolic Diet from the book.
Not much carbs allowed, are they necessary ?

In my experience they make things a hell of a lot easier.

I can’t help much there, never followed the AD. I do my own thing…I do eat little to no carbs all day though except in my workout window. Pre/peri/post I ingest around 120-140g of carbs, but all my meals throughout the day are entirely fat/protein based. Its been working very very well for me…I’ve gotten MUCH leaner while still increasing my strength in the weight room on pretty much every exercise. I will probably continue this approach when I shift back to my main goal being weight-gain - I will just up my portions at each meal a bit (mostly the PWO one - which I may also add carbs to depending on the gains I see). Its all trial and error man - gotta find what works for you. =)
