Today back in the gym (sickness AGAIN...I need to start supplementing with vit c). I did chest and tris and my performance was pretty weak in terms of my past.

Also, weigh in this morning was 184. Im losing weight too fast...But im always eating...just not bad things...

[johnjohnandjamal]

alright. Today's weigh in was also 184 I figured it was dehydration that brought down the weight on the previous day but it wasn't because I've been drinking SO much water...Anyways, today was back / bicep day. My left bicep sucks so now i refuse to do anymore barbell exercises. Weights lifted were by left only to failiure. Right can do much much more. Its sad really...

So Andrew is back to his journal just to put some stats in. I'm kinda lazy about this journal but I thought I'd post my progress for those who care to know. My weight this morning was 179.5 thats down from 191 at the start of my "cut" a few weeks ago.

On 1/06/04 i started my cut @ 191
Calves: 15 inches
Quads: 22 inches
Waist: 34 inches
Chest: 42 inches
Arms: 15 inches

Today 1/28/04 I continue my cut @ approx 180
Calves: 15.5 inches
Quads: 23.5 inches
Waist: 32.5 inches
Chest: 42 inches
Arms: 14.8 inches

I'm too lazy to post my workouts cuz i never write anything down anymore

I'd really like to build up my chest but i don't see that happening on the cut. About 3 more weeks of cutting and then I'm clean bulking because I really broke the bad habits of poor eating. I also need to grab some dextrose and maltodextrin before the bulk. I plan to start creatine on the bulk as well so hopefully I am a responder...

Updates will come when I bulk...

[nikkib]

Thats excellent! Good work! Keep the posts coming when you start your bulk!

good luck!

[chunkylover]

amazing cut man! those are excellent stats!

[johnjohnandjamal]

So i've been bulking...Having a blast...its kind of a dirty bulk but oh well. Gaining strength pretty quick. I can now press the 70lb on flat dumbell bench for 4 reps. It's my goal to make it to the 100s [img]/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. Just thought I'd check in with the measurements. I hope to hit somewhere over 200 before i start to cut again. These are my progress numbers since starting my journal

On 1/06/04 i started my cut @ 191
Calves: 15 inches
Quads: 22 inches
Waist: 34 inches
Chest: 42 inches
Arms: 15 inches

1/28/04 I finish my cut @ approx 180
Calves: 15.5 inches
Quads: 23.5 inches
Waist: 32.5 inches
Chest: 42 inches
Arms: 14.8 inches

3/16/04 I continue my bulk @ 193
Calves: 17 inches
Quads: 24 inches
Waist: 33 inches
Chest: 44 inches
Arms: L - 15.5 inches R- 16 inches (yayy! now just gotta get the other there)

I must give creatine credit for alot of these gains...This is by far the best supplement i've ever used. I've been plateaued for a long time with no motivation but this has really helped me pack on a bit of muscle (and/or water) in a fairly short period of time. I am quite pleased with this. I've never been this heavy and still be able to fit into a size 32 pant! My goals are definitely to increase the size of my legs. They are fairly strong but they definitely need some size. My arms need about an inch to catch up to my calves. I'd also like to get my chest a smidge bigger. It seems like the gains had stayed in proportion somewhat so I'm happy about that. I need to increase the size of my left bi and tri as well. IT is now off by 1/2 an inch when 3 months ago, it was off by 1/4 inch.
