Am I doing Enough?

[FirePoiBoy]

Update..

Thanks, casualbb and gmanlax7

Currently eating aprox 4k calories 200+gram protien ED.
Weight = 175
Don't know about bodyfat exactly. I am decently Cut but a bit bloated by the end of the day. The bodyfat is gone when I wake up and I start all over again.
I drink about a gallon of water a day.
I have been feeling like I've had my ass kicked most of the last two weeks. My muscles are sore and the pumps make me take small breaks while working out.
-I think I may be overtraining and I'll take casualbb's advice on the workouts. Anybody else think deadlifts are a must? I have also been considering making this a 10 week instead of 8 week cycle to try and get at least 5 more pounds.
Bench up 30 pounds
Squat up 25 pounds - back pumps are killing me.
Curl up 10 pounds

I will keep everyone posted and I'll post a picture If I can get to a camera.

Thanks,

What's funny is that I think I look smaller in the mirror but more and more coworkers/ friends are making comments about how big/thick I am getting. I just see so much work that is left to be done.

Re: My Current Workout.

Mon, Wed, Fri.

Incline Dumbell Flye
Seated overhead press.
Seated T-Bar Overhead
Front Lat raise.
Leg extension
Lying leg curl
Barbell Squat
Standing calf raise.
Bench press.
Dumbell wrist curl.
Hammer Curl.
Barbell Reverse curl.
Bent over row
reverse grip bent over row.
crunch
reverse crunch.

I do 3 sets of 10
I add more weight if I can do more than 10 and take off if I can't do at least 8.

That is a lot of volume and likely takes a long time to do everything on each day. Here's a suggestion: Do deads on Monday and squats on Friday along with a full body workout m/w/f along these lines...

-db presses (alternate through flat, incline, decline - mon/wed/fri)
-pull ups...5 sets to failure
-close-grip bench
-dips (3 sets to failure)
-calf raises (alternate standing, seated, donkey - mon, wed, fri)
-Arnold presses
-lateral raises (alternate front, side, back - mon, wed, fri)
-ez bar curls, hammer curls, preacher curls - mon, wed, fri
-abs - 3 set each of 3 moves of your choice

Granted, this is still a fair deal to get through in one workout but should be doable. Along with the squats/deads this should hit chest, back, tris, bis, legs, calves, and abs. You'll also notice minimal isolation movements...calf raises, laterals and curls only. The deads and squats should keep you growing well on your cycle.

Good luck bro!

When all is said and done

I made it up to 180 but I had some love handles and a pot belly.
After the Clomid and diurex I am down to 174 but nice and lean.
I was aprox 160 before the cycle so I am happy with the results.

Thanks for all the help!!

good pics. judging by them, I think you have a good size for your height. I am weigh in at 180@5'10.5 and I STILL look skinny. of course other people think otherwise, when you get in the groove of lifting weights, most of the time, you want to get bigger then where you are at currently.

looking at your routine, that is a lot of freaking exercises to be doing. jeesus.

legs
-squats
-front squats
-stiff leg deadlifts
-leg curls

back
-deadlifts
-bent over rows
-weighted pullups/chinups
-power cleans
-power snatches

arms
-close grip bench press
-weighted dips
-tricep extensions(flat, incline, decline)
-barbell curl
-incline db curl

shoulders
-military press
-upright rows

abs
-hanging leg raise/knee tuck
-weighted crunches
-ab pulldowns

concentrate on heavy compound movements, low sets with low reps if you want to add a little more size. it takes a lot to gain a little.
