i am still here but i didnt weigh in this week coz i went on an eating spree for 5 days haha so i`m too scared to get on the scale when i get everything under control i`ll report back :P

c ya guys

After a week vacation in Canada I'm up to 172 pounds but I lowered my body fat to 10.7%
Almost passed out at the gym today too, oops! Jetlag and heat will do that to you, I guess

This whole week it's going to be chicken, broccoli, and rice 6 times a day along with a bunch of time at the gym.

How's everyone elses progress?!

I'm pissed. Gay-ass football has the weightroom closed and I'm not sure when It'll be opened again. I've tried to lift 8 times in the past month and 5 times it was closed.

You should do what I did and get a membership to a gym, I'm at 24hour fitness and it costs $30 a month. I find it's a better atmosphere than a school gym, too, not to mention you'll have more equipment and space. Also if I'm ever bored at 3am, I can go to the gym!

[Metallover]

I would have to pay for it, and I can't afford $30 a month. I had a membership at tryon awhile ago for a month and right after I joined basketball started up and I had to lift all by myself. The thing is, since my dad was paying for it, he made me go every day. That wasn't fun because I wanted to do other things. He was my ride too, so I couldn't just go home.

I've been hitting a 24 hour fitness for the last month with a buddy of mine, using his dad's membership card Been noticing results, but my weight has only increased a couple pounds despite lifting about 4-5 times a week. Our routine calls for different muscles each day, split up like this: 1. chest/triceps 2. back/biceps 3. shoulders/calves 4. rest of the legs Then we throw abs into about 3 of those days. Day 5 is rest, then the cycle starts over.

2lbs isn't much, but I'm also burning the little fat that's left on my body and replacing it.

Yeah, unfortunately building muscle is harder than it appears to be, and 2 lbs a month in muscle gain is actually a LOT, that equates to 24 lbs in a year, assuming you don't plateau.

[Metallover]

What I do, don't know of it's good or not, I do pullups to warm up every day and at home. Then I go onto a major lift. A major lift would be hang cleans, power cleans, push press, bench press, etc. Then I got into a lower body lift such as dead lift, back squat, front squat, calf raises, etc. After that I do things such as bicep curls, french press, abs, chest, forearms, more pullups etc.

The things I can't go without doing are pullups and tricep pull-downs on the cable machine. Gotta love those huge triceps!

I hope to join the powerlifting team we're supposed to get this year with the new weightroom and $80k of new weights. That's pretty much only bench, squat, and dead lift. I'm bad at all those. It'll be fun though...

I need to start running too for cross country now. I'll loose a little weight and unfortunately, I'll get those cross country legs. I need to start running though because I need to be in shape enough for practice starting in a couple weeks. Anyone have some motivation?

weight today is 140.

I eat mahi-mahi from wholefoods 5-6 times ($8 for 2) a week with a veggie and or rice for dinner. Usually a sandwich no mayo for lunch. Watermelon or some melon type crap for brekky. non fat 1/2 &1/2 for my morning coffees plural. Me and the old lady ride at least 5 miles a day on our bikes (still cant bring myself to jog or run) then 20 push ups and 3x 12 reps arms curls. I lost all the beer gut and am almost developing a bicept on my non masturbation arm. I call that progress

[YogyBrushless]

Weight is 140

I maxxed out today. Hang clean was 3 reps at 175, which the coach says rounds up to 180. I got under 185, but I couldn't bring it up. I never really bench that often due to fear of hurting my shoulders for baseball, but I benched 140. I've only benched 2-3 times this summer, so I should've gotten more if I had worked on that lift before.

The two lifts bring my partial total to 320. I'll do back squat later this week. That will make up the big three. I hope to finish with 550+, which should be pretty dang good for weighing 140.

I need to start running for cross country. I'm expected to be in shape ready to practice in 2 weeks. Yeah right.

How are all you other guys doing?

Update: just ran 3 miles. new weight: 138

[MetalMan]

My weight is up to 176lbs consistently, which is about another 2lbs from almost a month ago. Results are apparent but it would be nice if they could be achieved faster

At the gym today they offered a complimentary body fat test which turned out to be pretty rudimentary, but I went for it anyways. Measurements were taken on biceps, triceps, bottom of should blades, and hip. The guy mentioned ~75% accuracy, but who knows because the should blade and hip measurements were taken through my shirt. Anyways, he said I'm at ~12%, which I'm pretty satisfied with considering hardly any cardio over the past months.
