Hi all, I’m back after a hiatus of posting on here. Life got a little hectic and I’m getting back to posting here regularly. I got sidetracked by the fires around here in southern california. The smoke around here was really bad and I didn’t work out for nearly a week. Now I am back on track. My diet was out of wack for that week but it’s back to where it was now. I’m getting 140g of protein and 5g of creatine down a day along with a multivitamin. I’m looking to add another supplement. I’m thinking either glutamine or a NO product. I’ve also noticed lately that when I lift heavy I feel it in my wrists a lot and it makes it harder to lift. I was wondering if gloves would help that. I hit the gym today, here’s how it went:

Warmup Treadmill: 5 mins at 3.9mph
Warmup DB Decline Bench: 1×12x20
DB Decline Bench: 3×8x35
Bench Press: 3×8x115
Cable Flies: 3×10x50
Shoulder Press Warmup: 1×12x45
Shoulder Press: 3×8x75
Lateral Raises: 2×10x15 (superset)
Front Raises: 2×10x15 (superset)

I haven’t been on here in a while, I’ve been very busy. I worked 54 hours this week, but that’s all coming to an end now that I just finished a huge project. A big weight is off my shoulders now.
On wednesday I hit the gym to do back and arms. Here’s how it went:
Warmup Treadmill: 5 mins. at 3.7mph
Warmup Lat Pulldown: 15×70
Lat Pulldown: 3×10x140
One Armed Cable Rows 3×8x60
Tricep Pulldown Rope Extension (Superset) 3×8x100
Tricep Pulldown V Bar (Superset) 3×8x130
DB Bicep Curls 3×8x25

I really haven’t had time to work out this week, but I’m going back to a normal schedule next week so for sure I’ll be hitting it a lot harder. I’ve continuously gotten at least 120 grams of protein and 5 grams of creatine a day though. Soon I’ll be bumping it up to 140. I’ll definitely make it to the gym at least once this weekend.

I finally got around to taking pictures and posting them yesterday. I also made it to the gym on Thursday. I think I had a pretty good workout. My legs are pretty sore, and I’m loving it. Here’s how it went:
Warm up Treadmill: 5 mins at 3.7mph
Warm up Leg Press: 1×12x90
Leg Press: 3×10x270
Leg Extension: 3×8x150
Leg Curl: 3×8x90
Calf Raise: 3×20x280
Dumbbell Side Bends: 3×20x25
Leg Raises: 3×20

Here’s my nutrition breakdown from yesterday also:
Breakfast: Protein Bar
Lunch: Grilled Chicken Sandwich
Snack: Orange
Dinner 1: Chicken Kabobs
Snack: Protein Shake with 5 grams creatine monohydrate, multivitamin
Dinner 2: Grilled Chicken Sandwich

Here’s today’s nutrition breakdown

I’m so glad it’s the weekend. I’ve worked 51 hours this past week. It went by quick because it seemed like it was all one really long day. I feel like I’m starting to get sick. It’s also easier to focus on eating good on the weekend. If anyone has any advice for me or comments on my pics, feel free to leave them. Thanks for reading!

Today has been one busy day, get up at 5:30AM to go to work and get home at 7PM and I have to be up at 5:30 tomorrow morning too. No gym for me today, hopefully tomorrow though. My nutrition and supplements are as follows:
Breakfast: Protein Shake with 5 grams of Creatine monohydrate and multivitamin
Lunch: Grilled Chicken Sandwich
Early Dinner: Grilled Chicken Sandwich
Late Dinner: Cooked Shrimp with steamed brown rice
Planned later snack: Pure Protein Protein Bar
That should make 130 grams of protein for the day, 10 above my goal!

I’ve decided it’s time to get serious about my bodybuilding goals. Today I went grocery shopping ant bought some lean chicken and salmon. I also started taking creatine monohydrate this Saturday. I’m going to aim for 120 grams of protein a day, while keeping fat content down. Today I’ve had a protein bar, a protein shake, a large ham and roast beef sandwich, an orange, and two chicken breasts.
I’m not going to be able to get to the gym until Thursday though since I know I’ll be working late tomorrow. My workout from Monday is as follows:
Cardio Warmup: Treadmill 3.7mph for 5 mins
Lat Pulldowns: 1×15x70, 3×8x140
One armed cable rows: 3×8x60
Tricep pulldowns- Straight Bar (Superset): 3×8x130
Tricep pulldowns- Rope attachment (Superset): 3×8x80
Dumbbell Bicep Curls: 3×8x25
As far as supplementation goes, right now I’m drinking a protein shake, having a protein bar, and 5 grams of creatine monohydrate, and a multivitamin daily.
I’m starting this blog to get advice from fellow bbers and extra support to help reach my goals. I plan to post pictures as soon as I can take them. Any advice would be more than appreciated. Thanks for reading!
