crazy back workout. 

10 regular pull-ups, 10 wide, 10 narrow (30 reps)

150lbs - Rows, twist at full extension - 3×10 on each side(60 reps), then overhand 3×10(30 reps), then underhand 3×10(30 reps)

225 lbs - rows, 5 sets of 8 - (48 reps)

Then I started at 225 and went down 15 lbs each set and maxed out on each one down to 180, (about 25 reps)

I would say thats a decent back workout for a 6′2" 190lb guy.

I just wanted to say that stretch marks really suck.  I decided to bulk a couple months ago cause last time I cut I didn’t think my arms were big enough, so I have been focusing on them, along with the rest of everything but just making sure I do them every week no matter what, and I got a lot of stretch marks where my delt connects with the outside of my arm and my bis and tris.  It really sucks!  So, if you’re gonna bulk, I suggest you use some cocoa butter or something, keep the elasticity in the skin!   One thing about them thats kinda cool is at least I know I’m putting on muscle in the right place!

I weighed in at 204 this morning, body fat is up a little but its still around 8%.  I’m gonna get a solid 205 then try to slowly cut to 200 and hopefully be pretty shredded.  Wish me luck.

Bulking - I’m bulking now and have been for a couple weeks.  So far I’ve put on about 3 solid pounds.  Mostly muscle, my bodyfat is still around 6.5% or so.  I am trying to just eat a lot, and I’m being more lazy with the cardio.  I am taking in about 100 grams of carbs after I lift, and I think it’s helping a lot.  I wish I could afford to get 400 grams of protein in my diet each day so I could bulk faster.  I could do it with supps cause I got a good cheap protein but it’s just not healthy and doesn’t work the same.  My goal was to get to 210 and cut down to 200, but I think I am going to just shoot for a leaner 205 and then cut to 198 or so.  Then clean build from there. 

I have been fighting fire since June, so I havn’t been workin out like a want, just working.  It sucks.  I can’t wait to be able to hit the gym like I want late september.

I have been sort of cutting for a while now, and today I went to my fitness class and my teacher did my bodyfat percentage and got 3.9% with a caliper test.  She said if I go below 3% my vital organs will stop working correctly.  Kinda scary… I feel great though… guess I should just eat more junk for a while…

Well… I have been off my diet plan for over a month now, just on the see-food diet.  Doing way less cardio, took about 10 days off.  Still not gaining hardly any weight, I think my metabolism is going fast.  Gonna bulk thru April and cut thru May and see what happens.

Well, I don’t know who is going to be interested in what I do…but, here goes… I work out 5 or 6 days a week.  I try to hit each muscle group once a week at least, twice a week at most.  2 groups a day (not including abs).  (heavy 6-8 reps, 3 sets for size)(medium 10-15 reps, 3 or 4 sets for cutting) I do abs 5 times a week, couple hundred reps, switch up the rutine from time to time.  Cardio after lifting for 20-30 minutes.

 I try to keep the diet clean.  Keeping the carbs at about 1 per pound of body weight for 5 days, decreasing intake as the day goes on,  and then loading for the next two up to about 500-700.  I’m not perfect at it by any means though, I just use it as a guideline.

I take a multi-v, PH correct creatine, and Casein protein before bed.
