Andrew\'s Gaining Journal (comments pls)
Hey all [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
My name is Andrew Ward, I live in Sydney, Australia. I am 16 years old. Been Body Building for roughly 1.5 years. Serously for about 15 weeks. Still havent got my diet 100% yet. Am trying to gain a lil more mass. My diet looks something like this atm: Brekky: 7am 10 VitaBrits with 750mls milk Recess: 11:30 Lean ham sandwich with some low fat cheese and lettuce Salt Reduced baked beans Lunch 1:15 Lean Ham Sandwich with some low fat cheese and lettuce Get home from skool 4pm 10 VitaBrits with 750mls milk 5:30pm Lean Chicken Toast 6pm French toast or a roast or something *protein carb combination 7pm Salt reduced Baked Beans Yogurt tuna 9pm ZMA 9:40 2 glasses milk I feel I am not consuming enough calories. Sorry but atm I cant be bothered counting them all up. I am getting some reasonably good weight gainer to try out. 600ish cals and low sugar which is hard to find in a weight gainer. Workout is a 5 day split and looks like this: Day Train Monday WO#1 (Quads & Abs) Tuesday WO#2 (Shoulders & Calves) Wednesday Thursday WO#3 (Back, Trap & Abs) Friday WO#4 (Chest & Hamstrings) Saturday Sunday WO#5 (Calves, Biceps & Triceps) Monday WO#1 (Quads & Abs) Tuesday Wednesday WO#2 (Shoulders & Calves) Thursday WO#3 (Back, Trap & Abs) Friday Saturday WO#4 (Chest & Hamstrings) Sunday WO#5 (Calves, Biceps & Triceps) Monday Tuesday WO#1 (Quads & Abs) Wednesday WO#2 (Shoulders & Calves) Thursday Friday WO#3 (Back, Trap & Abs) Saturday WO#4 (Chest & Hamstrings) Sunday Monday WO#5 (Calves, Biceps & Triceps) Tuesday WO#1 (Quads & Abs) Wednesday Thursday WO#2 (Shoulders & Calves) Friday WO#3 (Back, Trap & Abs) Saturday Sunday WO#4 (Chest & Hamstrings) Monday WO#5 (Calves, Biceps & Triceps) I weigh 75kg and am about 5"9 or something. I am bulking, Am hoping to get to 80kg. Than will cut. Current supps are: Whey ZMA Creatine I am in week one of my routine. Tomorrow am going to gym to do Calves, Biceps & Triceps. Will update this tomorrow. Will also add pics soon. Until next time, Andrew |

Re: Andrew\'s Gaining Journal
One tip I have is use the same form of notation that everyone uses to write out thier workouts. There's an explaination on how to do it in my journal. I used an alternate way of writing it out and no one could understand it.
Measurements might be nice, and not that it really makes a difference, but you might want to post your max on some lifts like deads, bench press, squats, etc. It's cool to see yourself get stronger on your bulks.

Brekky: 7am
10 VitaBrits with 750mls milk *What is vitabrits? Recess: 11:30 Lean ham sandwich with some low fat cheese and lettuce Salt Reduced baked beans *Is this lunchmeat ham? If so it's not the best choice of protein. 5:30pm Lean Chicken Toast *Need a veggie here I'm sure others can help more but those things stuck out in my head. You seem to eat a lot of bread. I love me some bread and I do eat it but try and keep the amount down. I don't see much fat either. What are your fat sources? Healthy fats are a GOOD thing! Have you looked at the bulking diet here? KUDOS to you for starting so young :-) You will get lots of help here! Amy

Re: Andrew\'s Gaining Journal (comments pls)
Thanx alot Mama,
Vita Brits is a cereal that is just Wholegrain Wheat bisquits. I have around nine of these bisquits in the morning and later in the day. Lunchmeat ham? I dont understand? The ham I have is bought in a sealed container and is Lean ham. The nutritional information for my ham sandwiches (all of them in the day) is 13.4g/4.2g/2.8g (P/C/F) At 6pm with my dinner I have some vegies [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] The bread I have is Wholegrain so that shouldnt me much of a problem should it? I know I do need so more fats. I was thinking of buying some flax seeds (I hate the oil lol) Thanx Mama |

Hey all [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Today was a suprisingly good workout seeing I havnt been able to have a "proper" Calves, Biceps and Triceps for a while seeing I hurt my wrist. Donkey Calf Raises 2 sets, 15 reps- Started off with 40kg and managed to get 15 reps in both sets. Last set was a bit wobbly jobbly though. Standing Calf Raises 2 sets, 8 reps- Last week I did 45kg but today did 50kg and still managed to do 15 reps in both sets. Dumbbell Curls 3 sets, 8 reps- Used 12.5kg Dumbells and when I got to two sets I new the 3rd was gonna be an ultimate struggle. So I decided to do these standing so I could "cheat" if I needed to. I only managed 6 reps on my 3rd set but my biceps were pumped and feeling good. Barbell Curls 2 sets, 8 reps- I used a 22.5kg bar. Did the first set alright. On the 2nd I really got pumped and couldnt raise my arms high lol. On the 7th rep I went for a reall slow negative. I got to 8 reps though [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Preacher Curls 1 set, 8 reps- I used a 25kg Ez-Curl bar. By this point my Biceps were BURNING and I new I was in business. Started strugging after 5th rep but managed to do 7 reps. Close Grip Bench Press 2 sets, 8 reps- I found a friend at the gym and got him to spot me on this exercise. He said that I had gotten alot bigger [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Stacked on 40kg in plates, so 60kg all up. Concentrated on my 1st set and got 8 reps. 2nd set I only got to 6 reps. Reverse Triceps Pressdown 3 sets, 8 reps- This is my favourite tricep exercise, I can really feel it working. I used a high cable pulley machine. Set the weight too 5 plates. Did 2 sets of 8 reps but only managed 6 on my last. But it was by FAR the best. I got a mad PUMP. Lying Triceps Extensions 2 sets, 8 reps- MEH! lol. I dont really like this exercise. I used 20kg. did my 2 sets of 8. Some hot girl was staring at me when I was leaving DAM why couldnt she come in earlier [img]/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] |
