From a mere mortal man to a Monster Log!!!!

Ok, this is going to be a collection of all my logs/progress/goals/set backs/possible cycles,etc. for hopefully longer than a year. This will hopefully be my ultimate motivator and for all to see and comment on.

I came upon this site back at the beginning of April looking for help, advice, and tips. I have been in and out the gym for years and of course in and out of shape. Do to some personal matters I'm now motivated to go as far and as hard as i can!

Personal info- I'm 30 Years old,5'10",and 170 pounds. A decent amount of that is fat, maybe 15 pounds of it(guessing). In April my starting max's were Bench press-185#*2, Deadlift-275#*2,Squat-225#*2.

My goals are by this december to Deadlift 390+, Squat 300+, Bench 255+. All would be PR except bench....ive hit 295 before ten years ago when i was training fairly hard. By next April(one year) my goals are to Deadlift 425+, Squat 350+, and Bench 295#.

April through June

Ok so i started my transformation by doing a version of the Ed Coan bench and deadlift plan i kind of put together myself. It was ten weeks long and started in April. I applied the same technique to squats and over head press. I added around three and four accessories to each day. Went five to six days a week. Day1 would be deadlift and accesories(1 leg and 3 backs usually),Day2 bench press and accessories, Day3 heavy core/calves or rest, Day 4 was overhead press and accessories, Day 5 squats and accessories, Day6 was a 5*5 day 3chest 3backs 3 shoulders, Day 7 REST!! Tried to log it but it didnt turn out too good.

My goals by end of this was 225 on bench and 315 on deadlift and squats was just as high as I could go. I reached my bench goal and passed my deadlift goal with 365#. Squat i reached 265#*2.

During this I have been increasing my protien intake and calorie intake. Still not up to par on the diet but its hard with shift worl and a pregnant fiance bringing a bunch of crap in the house.

After this I researched the SL 5*5 program. Wanted to get squat weight up. Will post results and comments when done in 3 weeks. I wish i could put link in here to my logs....maybe from a computer and not my phone. Ill try later.

Good luck with this amigo....what does your diet look like ? are you taking any supps ?

My diets getting better. 3000+ cals. Lots of Tuna, eggs, chicken, red meat,etc. Also drink close to a half gallon of high protien milk each day. 180+ protein just with milk and shakes each day. Still trying to eat better. My fiance will have our daughter this Friday and she said she is going to be dedicated to get back in shape so that will help tremendously.

My suppliments are hydrolized whey and casien protein(optimum nutrition) shakes one of each in am and pm. Gear 8 a day, either 4pre/4post or off days between meals, or at night when I work night shift. Optimum Nutrition mutli-mens vitamins everyday. Need2 muscle replenisher after workout when I come home after. NOxplode,N2KTS,and Optimum Nutrition Glutamine all pre workout. Also have Optimum Nutrition micronozed creatine that ill rather add to shakes or take during day at some time. That's just what I take now. Started off with just BSN truemass, syntha6, and some jack3d, but dropped all that a couple weeks in.

Alright on top of my 5x5 I started the T-nation 60 day challenge. I've added body Squats and Ab wheel. For those that don't know the challenge is to start by doing ten reps of each. Then each day ad 1 rep. You can split it up into multiple sets as you progress. I will do it once a day till prob around day 30 when ill do a morning/night split. Started this the night of August 1st.

Pushups-10
Pullups-10
Reverse lunges-10
Body Squats-10
Ab wheel-10



From My Droid!
 
Ive read about that challenge have never got around to trying it though. I am interested to see how it works out for you. Might inspire me to give it a try. Keep up the hard work bro!
 
T-nation 60 day challenge 1 week update.

17 reps of each. Pullups is the only one I have to do multiple sets of. Def. feel better and doesn't seem to impare my normal workouts.

From My Droid!
 
Nice job with the challenge...I got bored and need to start it over. I think I was using chins too often as my elbow is getting a little tight from pulling my fat ass so much...

I have to break mine into sets of five or my elbows and shoulders crack like cheap fireworks!

Update on 60 day challenge.....FAIL. Did good up to 5 days ago where I started missing days. Did notice a slight physical change and some endurance with Pushups and Pullups. May start it again at the beginning of my next workout plan while the loads are light.

From My Droid!
 
Cmon bro post up. Wanna see what youve been up to.
 
Ok here is my week 11... Max out after 10 weeks of 5*5.

Week11.
Day1

Bench maxout. Bar*20 135#*5 155#*3 185#*3 205#*1 225#*1 235#*1 240#*1.

Day2

Deadlift maxout- 135#*8 185*3 225*3 275#*1 315#*1 335#*1 355#*1 365#*1 375#*1(fail@3") 370#*1(fail@6")

Day3

Squat maxout- 95#*8, 145#*3, 195*3, 245#*1, 265*1, 285*1, 295*1, 300#*1

Hit all of these with no stim, all natural. Previous maxes were made using N2KTS and on last week of beastdrol(no log of this).
From My Droid!

So only 5# up on bench. 0# on Deadlift although it went up a lot cleaner than previously. And 15# on squat which is good.

Hey Zed I made a post late last night about breaking plateaus in the fitness and weight lifting forum. I think it might be a lil much but some critiqueing is what I need.
 
This is my new Log. Its a high rep/ partial rep split. A high rep press day, high rep pull day, and a heavy partial rep day. did the split like this because from what i read you shouldnt do high rep days too close together or the same body part too many days in a week. http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/w...-lifting/high-rep-partial-rep-log-770571.html ...............still not sure on how to post links to other threads so any suggestions would be appreciated.

This will be for 8 weeks then a week off then 5/3/1 program.



From My Droid!
 
How did the beastdrol treat you?

Pretty good. Didn't realize how much it was helping me lift until a couple weeks after coming off and my gains slowed down a lot and was having trouble hitting some previous lifts. Each week I increased the dose and when I got to 4 a day I started getting bad headaches but other than that it was fine. Prob gonna run it again but eat and supp. better and train harder so as to keep everything I gain.



From My Droid!
 
Ok. It's time. I got the Motivation and Determination to kick some ass.

Got a new routine I'm going to start, got diet and supps on point. Should be good.

Gonna try and take a day off in between Day2 and Day3, then the weekend off.

Lol most excellent meal choices. Steak for the win.

The 5/3/1 is supposed to be real good but I think it works best for people who already have intermediate/advanced levels of strength. No reason why you can't use it though. Good luck becoming a beast!

Sorry haven't posted in awhile. And if some of yall are wondering why there are changes from week to week the 5/3/1 program says ad long as the main lift is follwed strictly the accessories are up to me so changed accordingly to what was lacking or equipment availability because of time restraints. Weeks 7,8,9,10,11, and 12 to come...made the 5/3/1 fit the time line of the Critical Bench program so both finish together.

Short rest periods working up a good sweat. Lost a few LBs and legs and ass looking pretty cut. Still got about 5-10 I could drop. A good diet through the strength phase should keep dropping the BF. Finding it really hard to go up on the weights and keep the short rest periods. Only a week and a half left of this then on to my fav stuff....HEAVY!

how have you liked the snatch grip compared to a traditional shoulder width grip on your deadlift? I remember trying a few sets like that once and my upper back just being super sore.

EDIT: that is, a good sore. rebuilding muscle fibers and all that

It bothered me but I think more because the routine calls for real short rest periods and I think that was the strain. Couldnt do near the weight I would like to and was hell on my wrist with the short breaks. Now I did like the snatch pull, it felt more natural. I do like the clean grip deadlifts....felt it in the Hams good.

Day7-off

This is last week of this. Recommendation was three to four weeks. Ready to get the strength phase going. Monday Jello legs here I come. Feel like Im in better shape, might repeat it because it feels like cardio heart rate wise but Im lifting weights. Works up a good sweat if you stay true to the short rests.

Looking ahead I probably wont reach my strength goals by April like I wanted but I feel the volume Phase in a month is needed and will help in the future.

From My Droid MoFo!
 
Ok today was first day of the Strength Phase(phase2 of 4). 4 weeks long. Each week ill get a daily max on several exercises on different days then do working sets then other days are light days where I do as many light/medium sets as I can in 15min for each exercise. Max days are gonna be about 120min and light days about 45min. Upping the carb intake a lil with a bulking shake or higher carb food after workout. Feels good to heavy again.

nice bro!

Thanks! Was a lil dissapointed on my max day cause my daily's were a lil low compared to my overall max but I havent lifted heavy in a month and was trying to keep each exercise around 20-30. Now the rep day I was impressed with the volume I did in 15 min for each. Gonna keep it heavier next time.

Day4- was supposed to be my Leg/back rep day. Shift work, a fiance thats a full time student and in fitness training herself for her bombshell team, and a six month old lil girl is really wearing on my sleep. Mainly just the shift work....getting home off of nights and watching my daughter most of the day while the Mrs. Is at school leaves little to no rest at times. So took today off and Ill pick up tomorrow after I get some rest.

Need more work on my squats. Taken me longer to set up at times. Rack is slightly cattycorner with wall/mirror so I set up offset slightly and takes a min to adjust. Think I wont shoot so high next time so I can rep out some work sets on both squats and deads. Got to remember Daily Max not alltime Max!

1st Incline press- (135*5)*2,(155*3)*6

3rd standing DB OHP-(45*5)*4,(40*3)*5

Went slower and worked on form. Couldnt do pushpress so did DB OHP instead. Arms were tired so lowered weight at end. Did reps real slow on most sets so the Time Under Tention was longer. Could have gone heavier but should have ate before gym...didnt have as much energy.

I like the effort you are applying but I think your overdoing it. You have a shitload of volume mixed in with max efforts,and if you are not over trained yet there is a good chance you will be soon. When your numbers start to slow or go backwards that is a good sign of over training. As well as feeling tired and worn out all the time. If this starts to happen do a deload week and rest. Also keep cals as high as possible.

Agreed. Thats why Im doing it for 4 weeks then switching. Also trying to keep the days at 72 hours apart. The light days are supposed to be more of a day to work on form and stay medium/heavy(kinda like speedsets in the westside workout). I just messed up the first week and did shit load of volume. Two max days, two work days...as long as I space it right it should be alright.

Phase2 Week3


Day2- push rep day(3-5rep range med/heavy)
As many sets in 10 min for each exercise

Bench press- 135*5,185*5,(195*3)*3

Incline press- 135*5,(155*3)*4

Did just 10 min instead of 15, didnt have time. Used slow controlled movement. Slight pauses keeping time under tension a lil higher than usual. Liked it enough...just wish I could get better sleep and keep diet up to par and I believe my results would be better.
