Started Old School 3 Day Workout.

Well after a unexpected lay off from the gym of about 1 1/2 months. I started back with Cornholio's 3 day old school workout. I am running at about 214 lbs right now. Last time bodyfat was checked it was at 11%. I would guess it is higher now. Maybe 15%.

My goals are to put on some muscle as well as drop the extra chub I have put on as of late.

Monday - I have decided to do cardio on Mondays. About 30 minutes on the bike and some ab work. This old school routine is cake.

Tuesday
Stiff Legged Deadlifts - Went pretty light, as it has been awhile since I have been in the gym. Probably too light, as I didn't struggle much through all 20. Need to up the weight for Next week.
Overhead Press - Dumbell. Went pretty well until the last set. Started to black out on the first one. Weird feeling to "wake up" with weight hoisted above your head. Going to have to figure out what is going on there.
Squats - Again went reasonably light. Good set, nothing spectacular.
Seated Calves - Seemed to go too easy. Need to up the weight.

Wednesday - Girlfriend wanted me to stay in bed this morning. I guess cardio is going to be considerably shorter this morning. Damn my legs are sore. I hate Cornholio and his dumbass 3 day old school workout.

Thursday

Barbell Row - Struggling to find the baseline weight to start with, but finished reasonably well.
Bench - Boy did that suck. Lost a lot of strength in the last month and a half
Deadlifts - Good set here. Started to give out around 14. Finished strong.
Standing Calves - OK, I am pretty sure I am going to feel this tomorrow.

Friday - Cardio would be a great idea, except I can't really get out of bed. My calves are on fire. The hatred for Cornholio is really growing. I make it into work with some effort and now am officially trapped on the third floor. My legs hurt so bad. Does anyone know Cornholio's address, cause when I get better, I am seriously going to have to kick him square in the nuts. Going to have to set up a campsite up here, because I clearly won't be able to go down the stairs.

Saturday
Shrugs. Didn't seem to be hitting like they should. Maybe went to heavy.
Barbell Curls - Curls are curls I guess.
Skull Crushers - Dips are my enemy, so I replace with skulls. Again, nothing special.
Squats - I rule. The best squats I have ever done in my life. Ass to my heels, moving up strong. I am the cock of the walk in the gym this day. I walk around with the I can squat the entire world look on my face (as long as your world is less than 200lbs).

My weight stayed the same through out the week. My diet wasn't for shit. Not eating nearly enough. Going to have to work on that this week. Feel better, and think I look better, so on to week 2.

Since I started in Jan, the only times I've gained weight was when I was on this program.

about 10 lbs each time. :D

Remember one word when doing this workout

Fro - makes a very good point.

Intensity is up to you. That's why I love the 20 reps stuff....
 
Well my intensity certainly wasn't what it should have been, but I really had to take it easy. I couldn't have the frankensteinien gait this weekend. But I plan on kicking it up this week.

That and concentrating on the diet, and hopefully should see some changes.

I will keep posting the results.

Is this the first time you've worked out in a while? If so, I'd agree with taking it easy so you don't have too intense day after soreness. But if you've been consistently lifting, then jump into this program with FULL INTENSITY. It's the shock to your system that makes it work so well.
 
corn isnt the reason you gain weight on this program mostly because you are training less, hence less cals burned by the body

granted their are pleanty of core mass exercises incorperated in the workout but I think the first hypothis explains the weight gain.

every checked your BF after doing a month of this program?

Sure - a little will be fat gain as you want calories extra high.

Since Jan Fro gained a total of 40 pounds of which 10-15 is fat.


The 20 reps will do wonders...on any diet that has a bare number of claories and plebty of protein.


look for fat gain to be no more than 3 or so pounds per 10.

WHOA THERE KIDDO!!!!! I've only gained about 20 lbs since I started this type of training in Jan (ran 2 times). :D

And yes, you can gain fat, but like most other programs, you control your goals through a combination of diet and exercise. I wasn't eating to stay lean.
