Here's a program me and my friend went on maybe 3 years ago. Why we quit, i have no idea, because now that I look back on it, we were doing pretty damn good. It's definately not a standard course by any means...You work out 6 days a week. Sundays you have off. But I remember when i was doing this program, my bodyfat was low enough that you could see my upper abs when I was sitting and hunched over, and I had veins in my calves and triceps. So being that this is a new board, and I'm going back on the program today, I figure I might as well keep a journal for your entertainment and learning.

I'm going to keep the journal simple. I'll type up what the workouts look like for a certain amount of weeks. Since I'm going to be working each bodypart 3 times a week with different reps, I'll write down how each body part did each day I work it. That way you will see the improvements in each rep rage, and I'll give my weekly measurements and weight. Diet will be clean, lots of water, and I'll be getting at least 40 grams of protein per meal 6 times per day. I'm not restricting carbs any either. I'm going to drink down a glass of water before every meal, then eat my protein serving, then eat however many carbs it takes to make me feel no longer hungry. the only supplementing I'm doing is creatine. I'll take it right after i get home from my workout. As for bodyfat %, I don't know, and I'm too poor to get one done. Pictures, nope, cause I don't have access to a camera right now. You're just going to have to go on my visual word :D

Ok now the name of the program is Big Beyond Belief, it's designed by Tom Platz, Leo Costa and Russ Horine. OK, now here's what the workouts look like.

This is the first "ramp" for the first week. i'll post the other ramp next week when I start it. I scanned it in from the book and posted it , so I don't know where it's going to end up in the post, probably at the bottom. I'll report my lifts later tonight when I come home from my workout. As for now, here's my measurements as best as I can get them. All measurements done flexed and cold.

Right arm: 16 3/8
right forearm: 12 2/8
right calf (not flexed, too hard to get a good measurement) 16 2/8
right thigh: 25
chest: this is hard cause I'm trying to do it msyelf...It's kinda cutting into my skin a bit but it says 43". I don't think this is too accurate.
Waist: 37 1/2 (I want this down to 33 at least.)

ALSO: I will be doing cardio probably 3 to 4 tmes a week for 20 minutes.. It will probably be a mix of jogging just as I wake up, or the bike at the gym after my workouts.

LIFTS: to be filled in after first workout tonight
 
Good luck!!

I tried this program back in May/June and got really good results... be sure to keep your CALORIES HIGH!! With all that training youll need them.. Ill be looking forward to checking out your journal.
:D:D
 
ok heres my lifts for day 1

back: assisted pullup: 120 lbs/15 reps
chest: flat bench: 145/13
bi's: 20 lb incline dumbells for 13
calves: seated calf raise: 90/15
forearms (i have to add these in cause my forearms do not grow at all from indirect work, same for traps.) : dumbell curls: 35/15

And I did 20 minutes on the elliptical machine at a pace of about 140-150 strides per minute.

I forgot to get my weight...Blah. Somewhere around 215.

And as for the calories monstar, yeah like I said I'll be eating my fill 6 times a day. No junkfood at all though, except sundays.
 
Good luck bro... I would suggest keeping your carbs down for the most part since your a big guy like me. (Im around 220 lbs.).
:D:D

What supplements you taking?
 
well I think Im the only one who didnt like that routine at all.... it was a waste of 50 bucks. Anyways, although it didnt work for me, its good to see that is been working for others. But, what I thought was total bullshit was at the end of the book on how you can pack on 10 lbs of muscle in a week ( i think thats what it was). This program you had to eat like 6000 cals a day of just fruit! Which I think is impossible. You know how many peices of fruit you'd have to eat lol? anyone interested in taking this book off my hands lol...

ok here's the deal i forgot what i did for day 2...i forgot to write it all down. I went to see this chick friend of mine after I lifted, and she made fun of me and said to her friend i'm as big as a door. I can see the program is working already, haha. ....but anyway, I bring to you day 3..

back: assisted pullups: 110/12

chest: flat bench : 155/12

bis: 25 lb dumbell curls/10

calves: seated raises: 100/12
 
day 4:

delts: machine press: 100/12
tris: lying dumbell extension: 25/10
thighs: machine press: 270/10 (these were breather reps...did 160 and that felt a little "better"

I might actually just take the rest ofthe week off..I'm sick..It's that time of year...I don't want it to go to my lungs..I thought maybe working out through the slight symptoms would give my metabolism a boost and keep the full blown thing away...BUT, it doesn't look like it's happening. I'll see...
 
OK I'm not lifting again till monday...But heres the thing though, I MIGHT put this program aside for a month, because the guy I used to do this program with called me up today and is interested in starting it up again in a month. Sooo.....I MIGHT just do a fat loss program for a month or so. We'll see.
