I know I need to keep bulking but I looked over some stats from July until now and it's pretty depressing

7/12/03-------10/05/03
Neck 13.25---13
Arms(NF) 11.5----11.75
Flex 12----12.75
UpperChest 35----36.5
LowerChest 32----34
Waist 27.5--28.5
Abs 32.75-33.75
Hip 38----38.25
Thigh 21----21.5

I don't know what I weighed on July 12 but it wasn't 151lbs!
Could I have replaced fat with LBM and the measurements haven't changed?

I...must...do...this...

Hi jenn

I am strong on tri's and weak on bi's.

My latest programme requires me to combine them in the same workout but alternate the bi and tri exercises ie one bicep exercise, followed by the tricep one, then back to the bicep one etc. Then at the end, do a focused repeat of just the bi exercises on their own.

I should also say that for a one week period, I had to do a workout of 3 biceps exercises at each gym day with weights. ie a bit of intense shock treatment.

ie As I had a 4 day split, it was "my normal workout + biceps" each time for those 4 sessions during week 1, then the above programme is my maintenance one.

My biceps have picked up well on this. Thought I would share that with you, in case it is of any value - But it is up to you, what works best for your body.

Have a good day.

Thanks kiwi girl

I see a lot of folks superset tri's an bi's but that's a little too technical for me LOL. Alternating sounds like a great idea, I'll try next week

Jenn, I think you are doing outstanding work! Your pictures look fantastic and I don't think that the progress in your numbers is depressing at all. By the time I completed one bulk/cut cycle, the end result was only a 3 lb. gain. I can fluctuate that much just from water retention, so it doesn't sound like enough to make a difference, but I could see improvements in my pictures. Sometimes what sound like small changes can make significant visual changes, so take heart. [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Again, I think that you are doing great!

Thanks W8lifter2!

Thanks for the encouragement Tuf!

The challenge is really keeping me going at this. I know that if I didn't post everyday and share in everyone's journal I would have quit by now.

I keep reminding my self that it's not about the goal, because that's always going to change. It's about the whole process of keeping going when you don't feel like you can go anymore and getting to know your body.
