I have a few pics of my progress and it’s going pretty good. Nothing magical but one day I will probably try to go after bb.com transformation of the week! Still got lots of pounds to gain though. About gaining… not doing well this month. I’m fluctuating at around 130 lbs… That stinks SO I guess I’ve hit a plateu for now.

My workout program of 5×5 from Stronglifts.com is nice. I’m adding weight gradually and hoping to see results after two weeks.

On other news I’m contemplating on how I ca make  a bussiness out of my passion for bbing and helping others to reach their goals.

So today I did my new 5×5 workout. Squats and Bench presses for 5×5, then barbell rows 3×12, then 3 sets till  failure of dips and 3 sets until failure of hanging leg raises. I got exhausted a lil’ faster than doing a split. But I like it, it’s new experience and I’ll see how I’ll feel tomorrow. Maybe I’ll recover sooner because the microtrauma I got today for my muscles was smaller per muscle group (my theory is that split causes more microtrauma to muscles and it takes longer to recover from them, we’ll see if I was right ).

I expect to gain a lot more strength in two months of this program. I hope to add like 45lbs on bench press and somethig similar to squats..

Cheers,

So from tomorrow, I’m doing 5×5 strength program. 3×10 program for hypertrophy works for me but I’m not gainin as much strength as I’d like so I’ll focus on it for next 2-3 months and then go from there. It will also be a new experience and experience is great, I crave it these times… It will help me in the future… I’ll be squatting 3x a week so it will be interesting how my body will react to it!

Looking forward to doing it!

Crap… I lost some weight. It may be stress it may be overtraining… Three straight days at the gym is not good for me. I’ll have to rest for one day for sure from now on. I hope I’ll maintain the weight… Next couple of months won’t be easy to gain weight, but I hope I’ll have a t least small gains…

Cheers

Wow… HUGE HUGE HUGE changes in my young life. First off I quit my studies. I want to have more time and rest to focus on bodybuilding to get myself a great body and then make a living from bodybuilding (mainly from helping others become fit). I’ve got a few ideas and want to make those goals come true. But now that I’ve quit studies, about 30-40 percent of monthly income has been cut off since my parents (mother) are not gonna support me anymore (only if I’II continue to study she’d help me). I’m OK with that. I will make a living on my own.  I will now have a very limited supply of money. And since I have to pay rent on my own now, I’m in trouble… It costs a hell of a lot money. Probably half of my income. The funny thing is, I had my salary cut off by 20 percent just days ago because of crisis… But I’ll find a way to live, to get money and to pursue my dreams. I feel it’s a huge challenge… Balls-to-the-walls time has come. I’ll either go broke or achieve something BIG in this life…

Future holds a lot of interesting things for me….

Yesterday I strained my wrist and was afraid I couldn’t do back workout today. But I was wrong, aside from barbell curls I was able to do all exercises. Deads, bent over rows, dumbell curls etc.. all went well and I had a good workout! Hope my wrist heals soon to train fully!
