I hope you haven’t mentioned this previously without me seeing it, but what have you have done differently to make radical improvements? I hope you don’t mind divulging such info.
Lol thanks, the uncut version can provoke more thoughts haha
That’s a nice goal, I’m sure you’ll get your pro card this year. That’ll be freaking G.
Oh and my protein pancakes with coconut flour… fail, so far.
Gotta tweak the recipe, I think the non-gluten part killed it, personally ;D
Dude, awesome job in here. And a little late in seeing your dip vid, but damnit…looks like I got some work to do. (And you probably could have hit a 7th rep, just sayin…)
N: I lift in the fashion I described on Mon/Thursday for three main lifts. You’ll see what I mean when I describe my training today.
AC: I don’t have any spectacular plan for radical growth, just bust my ass and eat lots of food. Sorry to disappoint, lol. However, the training style I’m doing right now is DEFINITELY different than any ever before.
Nikki: Nom.
I believe I can achieve it also. Keep trying different things with the pancakes, they are a tricky beast. My brother mocks my pancakes although I think they’re the shit.
Monday:
A) Front Squats 135x5, 185x2, 225x2, 245x2, 255x2*8
B) Dips BW+45x3, BW+70x2, BW+100x2*8
C) BB Rows 135x5, 185x3, 225x2, 255x2*8+
D) Face pull downs 145x15, 130x15
E) Cable face pulls 50x12*2
Notes: The front squats were pretty damn killer; I had to have twenty minutes just for the working sets my total time on them was just over 25minutes. Dips were definitely a challenge but it felt good to mix it up from incline. I was hoping the rows would be an easy finish – but I couldn’t really accelerate the weight on any of the exercises today, although I still enjoyed the workout.

‘Beastly,’ training! ![]()
And the diet is so clean and nommy!
Do you have free meals or refeeds?
Whatever man, a triple sounds good…
You’re on!
Guess I’ll see how many I can hit with 100 today
Sounds like a more than decent plan to me haha. Keep it up man!
Nice solid effort! I like the exercise selection.
No supersetting ?
Don’t you make your pancakes with pumpkin? Of course they’re the shit!
I found a recipe for PB and Jelly crepes. They’re pretty nom.
For the crepe, mix 1/2 cup egg whites and a scoop of protein powder (I know you’re bulking, so you can customize it, that’s what I use for little diet me ;D) and pour on a skillet.
In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, PB and jelly, put it on the crepe and roll it up.
It’s very delish, if you want to try it. I remember that you’re a fan of CC.
Awesome training, you should enjoy it.
I don’t know what face pull downs are.
You can take a vid. Or explain it… or take a vid ![]()
What did you use to do training-wise?
damn those front squats!
looking forward to seeing you get a nice bubble butt ![]()
MIM: Thanks for the comment. I’ll generally have a cheat meal Thursday post workout, and a sixty minute all you can eat extravaganza on Saturday following my ME day. As far as refeeds, I think my carbs are high enough to keep my glycogen levels fully loaded ![]()
AC: Haha I thought it was a pretty good plan too. As far as my previous training I described it briefly in my into, but I can elaborate a bit. I have made most of my gains doing a traditional bodybuilding split, 4-5 days a week training individual body parts. Here was my workout for about two years:
Monday: Legs
Tuesday: Chest
Wednesday: Back
Thursday: Off
Friday: Shoulders
Saturday: Arms
Sunday: Off
I bulked from 170 to 215 from early 2007 to ~10/07 following it. I got cut up in May of 08 for the summer, and decided to compete in late 2008. After competing I realized I had to train legs twice a week, so I began training arms with shoulders and added a second leg day. Pretty much doing what Professor X, with a lot less weight mind you. There’s my training history at a glance.
Ink: It’s ON!!!
Tim: Thanks for the comment, nope no supersets on Mon/Thursday (unless you count sporadic accessory work) although I do for Tues/Sat workouts.

Your daily diet is a refeed, you don’t need more food! ;D
Nah I’m teasing, I love when guys bulk. Mainly because I love to cook, so I’m more than willing to help out lol
Damn, that’s probably the most successful bulk in history, 170-215 in less than a year.
Ha, funny story about that pumpkin shake.
I knew about pumpkin protein shakes, but I didn’t have any canned pumpkin, but I had some fresh. So I just put that in the blender (raw, mind you) with milk, PP and cinnamon. Not one of my brightest moments but edible nonetheless.
You didn’t post any numbers for the DL and squats ;(
Hey Chi. Great log, will be following !!

Damn, I need to find a girl that can cook!
At that point in time I was working at starbucks and would easily put down 5-6k cals of trash everyday. Pumpkin shakes sound good, although I’m talking about a vanilla pumpkin pudding type of deal; just stir the powder in there with a small amount of water.
Oh and my squats and deadlifts were isometric, I just went all out for ten second holds.
Wow that’s a pretty decent bulk!

Thanks for the comment N – I’m looking forward to that also, the sumo’s shouldn’t hurt either!
No, you gotta find a girl that LIKES to cook lol
A lot of them can make edible food, but it doesn’t mean anything if they’d rather see you starve lol
Hmm, I used to work at KFC but my “bulk” wasn’t… pretty lol
Yours actually worked for you
OK, I don’t think I understand the isometric thing. Did you not use a bar or something?
