Fast Big Strong

Training Logs
1

Picked up lifting again and after a long hiatus… Started at 153-154 and im up 161-160 now after about 3 weeks(a lot of it seems to be water weight or muscle memory. not signs of losing leaness…)

I want to get as big and strong as possible before i head to military boot camp in around 4 months. Some goals are:

Front Squat 8 x 225
Bench Press 5 x 225

lol not much but goals will be added the more i keep training…

Ive been keeping a long on other boards so since i lurk these boards a lot thought i might as well keep a log here too…

Im doing a typical bro split(chest,backs,legs,shoulders,arms) but i also do some extra arm work on chest and back day .

So are goals mostly size related? You ran BBB for awhile, no? Any plans to get on a more structured program? Details on diet?

I’m obviously ‘in’, btw. lol

My goal is to get big and strong at the same time . I might be leaning towards the strength just a tad bit mostly because im so weak at the moment… I was going to run BBB but decided not to at the end of the day . That program is really demanding and i feel if i cant give it my all then its not worth it. Ive got a few things going in my life right now so i decided it’d be best to do it when i can put my FULL concentration on it with no set backs. Right now im just trying to enjoy my life as best as i can before i head to the Navy in 4 months…

I might change my split later on(dont have any ideas to what program yet). I kinda like the whole bro split thing. I think it lets you have more fun with it then other programs.

My diet varies daily. Depending if my mom decides to cook for me that day haha or i cook. But i mostly try to get in 1.2g of protein per bodyweight . I dont worry too much about how much carbs/fats im getting in as long as im not gaining too much weight in a short time period.

Well as long as your happy and making progress, then I guess it’s a good set-up. Though, I wouldn’t let BBB intimidate you. If you don’t feel like doing it, cool. But it’s like any other program, where as long as you get in the work, it’s great results, even if eating/sleep are sub-optimal.
