>_>
Okay uh. yeah. I actually did workout in June, and I'll find my notebook and post those numbers, but it was pretty bad. Finals owned me, and I ate horribly and drank tons of Mountain Dew for caffeine. It...it wasn't pretty, guys. Felt fat the entire time.
Now I'm home with no gym equipment :I I have dumbbells up to 50 lbs and that's IT. So. IDK. I try to do my usual workout, but I'm obv. going to have to add/take away things. There's no place to pullups around here, can you believe that?!
So far, I do squats and lunges for legs with 50lbs in each hand. Eh.
Bicep curls, incline bicep curls, tri kick backs, lat. raise, front raise, and arnold/shoulder press for arms/shoulders.
Pushups/Deadlifts with dumbbells/Rows for chest/back. I just do more (10) if the weight is too light. still 3x5 for things like tri/bi/raises. Once I can do 50 on press, then I'll do 3x8 instead of 3x5.
MAKIN' DO.
Eating-wise, I have like, no choice. I eat what they eat. Luckily, they don't eat horribly, and there's a LOT of fish for protein. The only problem really is fried chicken etc :d Whatever man chicken is GOOD okay.
So. Not anticipating many gains. Whatever though, if I can reasonably maintain my strength, I'll be happy. THAT'S IT GUYS LOLS next time I need to post actual numbers. First week back home was a chillfest/getting used to no gym.

Also being broke makes bulking hard so I may cut idk. I'm not ready to stop gaining. Wanted to get at least 225 on dead/squat before I actually decided anything. And bench up to 185. Then I may cut. Bulking to 155 now since yeah...hard gaining weight.
That's it time to do epic homework sigh.

Yeah, brought down the deadlift to work on my form and make sure I could get it. I actually got 185! Not easily, but I got it. I think it's time I moved up to 195. Considering the idea that maybe it's the shoes? I wore my adidas today, and last week the converse. But, then again, last week I was pretty tired and stuff, as opposed to today when I was very well rested. Hm.
Once I can get 3x5, I have to go up at least 5 pounds. Also, close to the cadillacs on incline bench. It'll probably be two weeks since I struggled really hard with 130. Struggle really hard with bench, too, but almost to 160! I think my 1RM is somewhere around 170? Who knows.
Pull downs are a disappointment to me. My shoulder is too messed up to really do them effectively, so I may scrap it altogether and find something else less intensive. Dips are getting a little easier, so after next week, I'm going to shoot for 3x15. Then I'll prob. Have to start using a weighted belt or something.
I'm really disappointed in my biceps. They like, refuse to gain much strength! I might've gone up ten pounds in the three months I've been lifting, which isn't BAD, but. Eh. Also I'm not sure if I should count my first couple of weeks of lifting. I was doing it all wrong :I
That's it, have things to do. BYE.

ELLO ELLO
Okay, so, I skipped Monday's workout because I started school and my sleep schedule was pretty out there. Also, the start of the new quarter brings in new people who wanna get fit :| Now I know how regular gym members felt about all of the NYR people that showed up. Luckily, they tend to burn themselves out after a couple of weeks. But yeah the gym was kinda annoyingly loud and full. Literally no lockers AAAAAaaa okay on to numbers.
Wednesday:
Quad/Ham/Abs/Calves
-Squat (195)
-Leg curls (120)
-Leg Extensions (150)
-Calf Raises (360)
Shoulders/Arms
-Front Raises - 25
-Dumb. Shoulder Press Arnold Press - 40
Shrugs - 110
Lat Raises - 20
Overhead Press - 95
-Inc. curl - 25
Hammer Curl - 30
-Preacher curl - 25
-Pull ups - 7x6x5
-Tri kickbacks - 25
-Tri pull-down - 110
-Close grip bench - 95
Weight ~147 (To be fair, my stomach was growling and everything when I worked out)
Yeah, I did legs today to compensate. But. Holy crap, 195 on squat o_O; Granted, the last set was really hard and I almost gave out, but wtv. Still. 20 pound gain? Maybe it's from all the biking I did over Spring Break haha. Seriously, I biked to the gym, kroger, dyson, the terrace...yeah. And when I went to Kroger, I had a super heavy backpack on. WOO.
I'm pleased by my pull ups since I could barely do two before, but my arms are seeing REALLY slow gains. Granted, if I did preacher curls near the beginning of my workout rather than towards the end, I might be able to do 30. Tri kickbacks were easy, will go up to 30 next week. Same with Arnold Press. OHP I MIGHT be able to go up on. I dunno, we'll see. I'm definitely gonna get 150 on bench and get that achievement though. need like 110-115 to get the first OHP achievement...and I think 225 for the next squat and deadlift.
I'll do abs along with my chest workout on Friday, and shrugs since I neglected them. Like usual.
But yeah, looked in the mirror and I look kind of big. Like. Strongfat. Except more like strongchubby? Point is, I had that big muscle looking going on. Kind of can't wait to cut to see exactly what's under all this fat. I think I'm gonna cut regardless at the end of May though, even if I don't hit 160. I think I'll hit 155 with some effort though!
Lifewise, well. Classes are gonna own me. So is life. I'm not even thinking about girls right now :T Well I mean, okay. I'm a guy so it's inevitable. I mean, not actively trying to talk to them except in a friendly way. Whatever that's a lie I hit on girls DAILY.
Seriously though I need to sleep bye.

Shrugs - 110
Lat Raises - 15
Overhead Press - 90
-Inc. curl - 25

Dip (3x10x10x8)
Pullups (3x5)
Weight: 149.2
So, yeah, not bad. Though on the Deads, I totally flaked on my last set. I dunno, I get intimidated by the weight? Also, my grip was bad and I felt it slip a couple of times. Yeahhhh I dunno. May stay at 195 for a couple of weeks until I can get my grip up. Switched back to bench also, a 10 pound improvement immediately. I'm gonna get 150 for sure next week, and by proxy, my next achievement. Two, since I'll have 25 finally.
But yeah, good numbers all around. People around me are starting to take their bodies more seriously too it seems, which is great! I'm pleased that some of my friends are wanting to get rippededed. It also means they can see a difference in my physique? I dunno, I don't really see it, but maybe it's there.
Also, starting next week, I'm going hardcore into art mode. Not hanging out much, getting on top of my work, etc. No more fooling around. DOING IT. WINNING!

-Reverse Crunch
-Knee raises

-Obliques (25lbweight)
Weight 149.6
Most impressed by my weight. 150 pounds. Ten more pounds since I'm bulking to 160 and I already feel/look sort of fattish. And then epic cut 8D I'm hoping to hit 160 by the end of April, then spend my summer cutting. I'll maintain from summer all the way through winter, and start bulking again when it gets cold. I'll probably only bulk to like 170 since I'm thinking of only cutting down to 145-150. We'll see how it goes. I just know I can't wait to start cutting feeling like a fat as fatass.

I'm not TOO upset about any of this. I mean, I was running on poor eating and little sleep, and was exhausted and stressed beyond belief. I'm more surprised only my Hammer curl went down.
So yeah skipped a week and now today:
Friday
Chest/Back
-Incline Bench 115
-Flys (15)
-Dead (185) Yay 25 pound weight
-DB Press (50)
-Pulldowns (90) Shoulder effed up later, got through two sets though
-Pull weight chest thing (55) Did it at the end, so pretty tired I guess.
-Dumbell Row (50)
Dip (3x8)
Pullups (3x5)
Weight: 145.2
Not surprised here either. Wasn't at 100% :P Incline was easier, but I didn't want to do TOO much in my current condition. But yeah, deadlift is finally up. Close to that 200 mark, and then aiming for 1.5 bodyweight.
Okay gonna go sleep slightly siiick.
Friday, March 4, 2011
oh man
Okay back. That's right, it took me two and a half hours to workout, shop, and then get back here. It's so easy to get through my program when the gym is empty! No curl bros hoggin' the rack, not having to worry about navigating around people...pretty great brah.
And I saw a friend there! I was really surprised. She waved at me from across the room and I just kind of like squinted since I'm blind. But then she walked up and I was like 'OHAYYY!' The fact that she works out gives her like +10 cool points. I dig girls that care about their health. Not saying I dig her, though, because I don't. Too innocent for me, and as you know, I'm pretty screwed up. She covered her face at Fritz the Cat––Which, okay, furry porn isn't my bag either, but covering the face is a bit TOO cute and innocent. I'm not that kind of otaku. I prefer tsunderes.
...Uh. Oops. Small tangent there, sorry. But yeah got a lot done in the four hours I've been awake. ON TO NUMBERS.
Friday
Chest/Back
-Bench - (135) TAKING A BREAK CAUSE I PLATEAUED.
-Incline Bench (115/120/120)
-Flys (15)
-Dead (175) :DD TEN AWAY FROM A 25 WEIGHT.
-DB Press (50)
-Pulldowns (100) Shoulder effed up later, got through two sets though
-Pull weight chest thing (65) Did it at the end, so pretty tired I guess.
-Dumbell Row (50)
Dip (3x8x7x6)
I'm thinking of editing my split so that chest and back aren't on the same day. It makes sense, really, but eh. Maybe Chest/Tris, Back/legs, Bis/Abs? I'll run this program for another month or so, idk. Also my weight was 147! On one hand I feel fatter, but on the other my shoulders look broader and I'm stronger. IDK. Can't wait to start cutting, though. I think I said I was aiming for 170? Don't remember.
OH wait kroger this is what I got:
10lbs(!!!!) of chicken for like 6 bucks.
1.5 dozen eggs for 2.50
2 Rice Sides at 2.00 for both
Beans for 1.00
Can of mixed veggies for .69
brown rice for 2.00
2 jars peanut butter for 2.50
That'd get me through a week and a half super easy, even with meeting my calorie (not so much protein I guess) goals. I'm like pro at shopping now. THERE ARE SOME ADVANTAGES TO BEING BROKE I GUESS LOL. Wish I had kept the cottage cheese, but that was another 2.00. Could've afforded it but ehhhhhh idk. Next shopping trip.
Speaking of which my dad needs to send that money. Have to buy meds and more groceries. Still need onions, mayo, potatoes, veggies, whole wheat bread I guess, and some more tortillas. Might look into tuna if it's on sale, and ramen for those desperate times.
OK that's it. Gonna shower, read some homestuck, nap, then idk maybe go to the yule ball?

Wednesday
-Front Raises - 20 (Did it for ten reps, more control)
-Dumb. Shoulder Press Arnold Press - 35
Shrugs - 100 (Eh half-assed)
Lat Raises - 15
Overhead Press - 85
-Inc. curl - 25
Hammer Curl - 30
-Preacher curl - 25
-Pull ups - 3 x 7,5,4
-Tri kickbacks - 20
-Tri pull-down - 100
-Close grip bench - 95
So, yeah, substituted hammer for incline. Just to switch things up. My weight was also at 144.4, so I may be 145 today. There's really no sense in keeping track every workout day. It should be once a week really. I just like seeing where I'm at.
Awake at 5:30AM. I woke up around 5, started laundry, made post-workout food, cleaned the microwave, and yeah. Gonna head out to the gym when my laundry's done at around 6:20. Might as well go for the Early Bird achievement while I'm up, right? I dunno, though, I feel a bit tired. I feel like my gains won't be all that great today, if I make any at all.
Going to Kroger afterwards to pick up some things since it'll prolls be decently empty. Only things I can carry; Eggs, Peanut Butter, pack of chicken, and potatoes MAYBE. 5lb bag is heavy on a bike. I dunno I might forgo the potatoes, don't want to be bogged down too much. Chicken/eggs/PB is a must though. Need that brotein. I'll probably get the other few items I need from Red and White since they're of little consequence. Ugh I have nothing I can make really quickly.
Sometimes I think about my life and my face pulls a ':S' but then I realize it could be much worse and I pull a '\_(ツ)_/'

come at me brah
Monday
Quad/Ham/Abs/Calves
-Squat (160)
-Leg curls (110)
-Leg Extensions (130)
-Calf Raises (300)
Abs
-Reverse Crunch
-Knee raises
-Leg raises
-Obliques (10lbweight)
I think I can stand to go up to 170 next week on squat. We'll see. Need 210 for 1.5 bw so at this pace, I can get that achievement in a couple months. However, I'm probably gonna plateau soonish. But yeah, gains all around. I'm gonna hit a ceiling soon, but until then, just gonna enjoy it.
For my obliques, I probably need to use a 25lb. weight. It was way too easy.
Also, weighed myself. 144 even. Last time I was 143, and last time I'd had time to eat a lot unlike today. I only had three eggs and wheat toast before working out, and that was like a few hours before. Gained almost five pounds. I honestly don't see it, but as long as my lifts are going up and I'm gaining weight, I'll keep pushing. I don't know exactly what body I'm aiming for, but I'll figure it out sometime.
And I gave up on getting taller for now. Lol. Honestly man, I don't have time to do 20 minutes of exercise in the morning and then at night. I wake up how I want and pass out when I can't go on. I MAY start just doing them twice a day whenever, and at separate times instead of all at once like rec'd. It's the only way.
Anyway yeah tired gonna shower then.

-Tri kickbacks - 20

LOL lost ground on the raises. Then again, I got the weight more convincingly now, so the previous numbers don't exactly count for much. OHP I didn't finish fully. Missed one rep, lols. Oh well. I think I'll stay at 85 for OHP next week. Same with Inc. Curl, and maybe the raises. Did Arnold Press instead of dumbell press, it was a little harder. I may alternate them every two weeks. WHO KNOWS.
So not a bad day. did some pull ups, got six, then did three more. I feel so self-conscious failing at pull-ups, lol. The pull-up bar is like OUT IN THE OPEN.
But yeah I feel pretty okay at the gym. I walk in, flash a grin at the usu. attractive girl behind the counter, nod at a few of the dudes that're always there, and pump my ironz. feelsgoodman.
O also I weight 143 now. I think I might bulk to 160 then cut back to 145. WE'LL SEE.
Okay gonna hit up /fit/ then do homework.

Quad/Ham/Abs/Calves
-Squat (150) Might get 160 next week, who knows.
-Leg curls (100)
-Leg Extensions (120)
-Calf Raises (280)
-Reverse Crunch
-Knee raises
-Obliques (10lbweight)
-Short Crunch
Yeah, wtv. Squats I prolly could've gotten 155 if I'd started out fresh, but this guy was taking forever in the squat rack. Seriously, he did like, 3242343 sets and supersetted them with calves :T Geez. He wasn't even going parallel, the loser. Quarter squats lols. And for the reverse crunch/situp, I realized the height was adjustable. So I could actually get 3x8. Rotfl. I mean, I can get it now I guess. So. Everything turned out okay.
Also, weighed myself. 141 pounds. LOL. I wanted to try bulking to 160, but geez. I can't even get a pound of weight in like a week. Prolly cause I'm not eating enough calories, may have to dirty bulk a bit, or find something really high in calories.
Life-wise, busy. Made a hard decision, too, but I'd rather not have a stabbing pain in my chest three times a week. Time to just slowly drift awaayyyyyy.
Anyway, laters.

Bench (95)
Dead (115)
Dumbell Row (20)
I didn't keep track of anything else. But that's 40 pounds in less than a month. Not bad.
So, yeah. Pleased. Can't wait until March to see where I am.

-Leg curls (90)
-Leg Extensions (100)
-Calf Raises (260)
-Reverse Crunch
-Knee raises
-Obliques
-Short Crunch
Added in obliques for abs, doing short crunch at home. The machine I usu. use is super broken, so.
So, yeah, improvements everywhere. Could've done more for all the exercises but wasn't in the mood really.
Also, that thing I was talking about? Did it. Pretty satisfied, I have to admit. I waited like eight years for this moment and it's finally done.
But, yeah, I felt less than good after leaving the gym. I dunno, I don't really like working the legs as much. typicalcurlbro.jpg
Oh crap 140 is my bodyweight! I can cross off another achievement! I'll post the poster here laterr ok gotta do hw.

ok
Hey. Skipped the gym friday, went today. On Friday, I went to the mall with some bros and wasted time, then hung out with some other bros and drew dickg––GRAYSON. Those're some cool kids.
So, yeah, wasted day, but that's fine. Today I had to get goin', gots ta start my screen design project. Animating it, I mean. Gonna hurry up and post numbers, then change clothes, then eat.
Saturday
Chest/Back
-Bench - 130 (LOL)
-Incline Bench (90)
-Flys (15)
-Dead 145 (:D)
-Pulldowns (80)
-Pull weight chest thing (30)
-Dumbell Row (30)
So, yeah, got them caddys and then some on the Deads! Close on the bench, and I could probably get it, but no spot = not worth the risk. So, overall, neat day. I only really feel the burn in my lower back from the deads though. Also, skipped barbell row because I didn't really feel like it. But I did this other exercise on the machine that's a pully chest thing. Don't know what it's called, but I like it.
Okay, gonna go eat some chicken, vegs, maybe beans or something.

Shoulder/Bicep/Triceps
-Front Raises - 25
-Dumb. Shoulder Press - 30
Shrugs - 20 N/A (gonna do them fri, was running out of time)
Lat Raises - 20
-Inc. curl - 20
-Preacher curl - 20+15+10 (I DID THEM TOWARDS THE END AGAIN and I worked them to failure since I could barely get ten on each arm lols)
-Tri kickbacks - 15
-Tri pull-down -80 + 70
So, not bad. I did a little less on the treadmill since my calves were like 'lol' since I've been running everywhere. Literally. But my endurance is better now, barely got tired. Also this Friday YESSSS though darn I have to go to the gym either early or late. Class with Ashwin at 11, meeting with Debra at 12, and then I have to rush over to Turner so we can get ready to do this thing. I guess we'd be done by 5, but then the gym closes at 8, and I might be really tired ://///// I DUNNO WHAT TO DO MAN.
Also lol this guy at the gym asked if I wanted to work in with him. LOLNOPE. Not only was he super skinny, but he was like 'naw bro do tris and legs and biceps and back etc.' I don't even remember. I don't know where he learned his broscience, but lols. It's when he asked how mine was working out for me in a 'lolno' way that made me super indignant. I mean, my plan isn't great at all yet, but still. Really?
TL;DR this guy wanted a free spot and I shot him down.
Also there's this guy at the gym that I think uses /fit/. He downs power cleans, squats, and bench. No one does power cleans, and not too many do squats. So. It's definitely possible.
ughhh 12:30 gonna go sleep later yo.
EDIT:: Didn't sleep. You didn't think I'd sleep before 12, did you? Anyway, yeah. Cutting my cardio. TURNS OUT CARDIO RUINS MUSCLE GAINS. Plus, I simply don't eat enough to keep up with my cardio. I'm going full weightlifting now. At least until I reach where I want to be str wise.
/not complaining
GEEZ I learn so much everyday.

Also lol this guy at the gym asked if I wanted to work in with him. LOLNOPE. Not only was he super skinny, but he was like 'naw bro do tris and legs and biceps and back etc.' I don't even remember. I don't know where he learned his broscience, but lols. It's when he asked how mine was working out for me in a 'lolno' way that made me super indignant. I mean, my plan isn't great at all yet, but still. Really?
TL;DR this guy wanted a free spot and I shot him down.
Also there's this guy at the gym that I think uses /fit/. He downs power cleans, squats, and bench. No one does power cleans, and not too many do squats. So. It's definitely possible.
ughhh 12:30 gonna go sleep later yo.
EDIT:: Didn't sleep. You didn't think I'd sleep before 12, did you? Anyway, yeah. Cutting my cardio. TURNS OUT CARDIO RUINS MUSCLE GAINS. Plus, I simply don't eat enough to keep up with my cardio. I'm going full weightlifting now. At least until I reach where I want to be str wise.
/not complaining
GEEZ I learn so much everyday.

:/
I feel bad, bros.
Today was shaping up to be great. I didn't sleep, but I finished the book, got optimism, jogged to and from class, jogged EVERYWHERE today, chatted up three girls eventhoughihaveminimuminterestinthem, and just was a bro. But then I went to hang out with a friend and all that kind of went down the drain.
Since I usually don't feel that great when I'm around them anymore, my mind just automatically becomes a dick and shuts them out. I felt horrible because afterwards, I realized that I was an all around awful person. I treated them like they were a classmate or something, aka didn't give much of a fuuuu (though I'm working on that too). I almost turned around and went back and apologized, but eh. I'll just try not to do it in the future. I guess if I lost them as a friend I'd feel remorseful, so that's my motivation. I dunno I find it weird how I have to make myself care enough. It's probably just temporary until my life gets on track though.
Also is it weird that I'm not freaking out about this weekend at all? It's like 'lol I have so much work' but I'm just so confident I can do it all idk. PLUS I'm completing a goal I've had since I was like 14 :D Seven years in the making, but better late than never.
Even though I'm going to be posting later today with my numbers, I'm gonna post this here. I put it in a /fit/ thread.
My goals:
-Become a highly sought-after animation director.
-Have a high ottermode/low athletic bodyweight aka ripped.
-3x Bench, 3x DL, 3x Squat while still being aesthetic as fuck.
-Get a nice place close enough to LA to be considered in the city but also ten times quieter with my own personal gym.
-Learn to invest and get cashmoneys.
-Find a woman who is on my level and not willing to settle for mediocrity in life.
I guess that's what I want in a nutshell. Like, I can add stuff about being alpha but whatever. I'd rather just do what I want. With my goals in front of me, I have to go for them. The only two things I don't really care about is the 3x core and the LA thing. I don't really care where I live tbh. Everything else is what I want though.
So, yeah. There we go. Update later today with new numbers.
EDIT: New goal. Buy a Superman shirt as soon as I get close to my goal. Mid-term goal, but still a goal.

new exercise!
Steadily tapering my plan. Decided to add Lat raises to build my shoulders up more. Shut up, going for the aesthetics bro. SS gives you a huge lower body but your poor upper is all weak. I also considered adding forearm exercises to my gym plan, but I think I'll make do with the 12lb weight I have at home.
Also, took a 'Come at me bro' picture and looked pretty swole. Ego +15.
Barely got any sleep last night, though, cause I was reading this amazing book about...well. I don't know. Hard to explain. But I feel as though my life will improve by at least 20%. I just feel so GOOD about everything right now!
My reasons for starting this whole thing might be pathetic (Isn't it always about a girl?), but now that's pretty much the least of my concerns––Or at least, it's fallen from priority number 2 to around 9 out of 10. Not on purpose, just have actual stuff to do.
I think I'm developing somewhat of a life.
I used this picture on facebook, too.

(:
Guess who finally got to use the caddys?
<<<this guy.
Leg/ab day, so:
Monday
Quad/Ham/Abs/Calves
-Squat (135) :DDDDDDD
-Leg curls (80?)
-Leg Extensions (80?)
-Calf Raises (240)
-Reverse Crunch
-Knee raises
-Short Crunch
So, yeah, still need to get my numbers straight on leg curls and extensions. I always forget. It's above 70 for sure though.
My cardio was a bit harder than usual. See, I jogged to class at 4:55 or so (made it on time like a bauss), then jogged from the Dreamworks Previz presentation to the gym (at least a half mile), then did my usual HIIT cardio. Honestly I need to eat a shitload to make up these calories right now, gonna do that in a sec. I only ate oatmeal, so I'm probably in the negatives right now. laskdfjas;lfkjdsafsd I'm gonna make tuna, then eggs, then pancakes, vegetables, and ramen. Yup. STUFFED.
But, yeah, I did 3x5 on squat rather than 8. I tested the waters with 125, tested with 130, and finally just bit the bullet. Honestly 135 was pretty easy, and my legs were already tired since I did it towards the end of my workout. Stupid curl bros were in the squat rack when I first got there :/
Also this girl was mirin' hard when I was on the treadmill lols she wishes she could run on 9 speed like me JOKING because nine is like a fast jog depending on your stride length :C. I dunno, my self-confidence is better since I started working out. I have trouble putting up with people dragging me down, and I think of a certain situation that I just do not even care about anymore. Before I was like 'avoid' but now I'm just gonna be like 'lol wtv.' I can't believe I ever cared, since I'm obviously the better one.
The best part was that one of my friends gave me a ride home! I was walking out of the gym at like 9, and she was right there and I was like 'OMGGGGADSFJLSDFYES' So I get to be home now writing this post.
OK that's it but yeah, I'm so much more at home in the gym now. I don't even think about it, I just walk in, do my thing, and leave. WTV.
Later bros I will get caddys on everything this week except maybe bench ;D
EDIT: I should mention that I was doing SS on squat. 3x5. Man I have to get my weight up before anything, not doing caddys on the big three is pathetic. Once I get all of them up to around 175 I'll start going back to a 3x8 plan.
Before I was trying to do like a lean bulk where I lost fat and gained muscle, but I may just go for a straight bulk then cut like everyone else. IDK. The problem is that I have to eat more in order to bulk, and I don't have the funds since I have to buy other things yo. Gonna buy a ton of eggs, beans, and tortillas, then poss. some spaghetti stuff. And my usual veggies. Hopefully that rice is on sale agaiiin gonna buy like ten packs if it is. And if tuna is on sale well man I'll be set.
OK

Friday
Chest/Back
-Bench - 125 (LOL)
-Incline Bench (85)
-Flys (15)
-Pressups SKIPPED THIS LOLZ
-Dead 125 (eh)
-Pulldowns (25)
-Barbell Row (55)
-Dumbell Row (30)
Pull downs were replaced by a different exercise I found. It's so much better.
It as a pretty bad day, honestly. Cold, rainy, and I'd skipped my stretches that morning. I slept on the way over, which was odd. So. I just wasn't feeling it today. My back did a weird twinge thing when I was deading, so I didn't push it. I might edit my plan AGAIN and do SS. I don't like lifting this weak weight. I just feel too bad about it. WE'LL SEE. Also I actually got a stitch in my side doing cardio LOL. I called myself taking it easy and went for the elliptical since my ankle was bothering me, but man. Stretching is really important. Won't neglect it again /totally will.
Okay whatever though I'm done.
WAIT no. Actually one other thing. I've decided to do something I've wanted to do for years now. I was thinking about a couple of days ago and I was going to say 'nah what would x think if I did' but then I froze. What would they think? Honestly, that's a bad reason to not do something. Seriously. So, yeah. As soon as my parents give me my monthly cash, I'm going to do it the next weekend.
So yeah I'm doing this >:|||||||||||||||||||||||||| I might also delete one of my longstanding personal things and just...
But that's in the future. We'll see what happens.

haha
I'm fine with updating this every day because I get bored easily and I'm interested in my health.
That said I went to a chinese buffet today. Buffet + getting fit ≠ good idea.
Anyway I put mostly meat on my plate, so I'm sure I got my daily protein amount. Seriously, I heaped up on the chicken, beef, pork, and some salmon. I got a spoonful of rice, but only because eating meat all the time is like 'ehhhh' even for me.
Sorry I meant BROTEIN.
Also my arms are sore after yesterday. Seriously ughhh. The other person I was with hit me in the arm and I was like 'ow' except for real this time. I'm not sad, though; like my football coach said, 'If you're not sore, you're not doing anything.' And my biceps were worked to failure. I mean, I knew that when I couldn't even get 3x8 on preacher curls >_>; I need to work out a way to work my triceps to failure, though. Granted, they've always been more powerful than my biceps for some reason, but still.
Tomorrow is chest and back. Benching WOO. I also kind of like deadlifting now! My whole body is like 'YEAH' when I do it so it feelsgoodman. I'm gonna do my best to work everything to failure tomorrow, especially my back. Honestly my back is pretty ripped-ish but it's just too small. My chest sucks, though.
I should go as soon as I wake up and eat. Then come back, showerrrrr crapwhatdoIdoonfridayuhhhhhh eat again, then spend the day just thinking. That's right. Thinking. Concepts for my cut out animation, and just random plot ideas. I may go out to the park for this, idk. Then I'll come home and do some 3D, fixing up my weight assignment. Yeah. I honestly feel like I'm forgetting something though... WHAT AM I DOING ON FRIDAY UGHHHH. I guess I have to call my parents. Oh man have not done that at all.
OH I was supposed to meet up with a classmate to draw at life drawing but who knows.
K enough I should go and sleep and be well rested to LIFTSTUFF later bros.

k
Crap, I am TIRED. I like, worked my arms to failure today. Which is fine since they get a week's break.
Wednesday
Shoulder/Bicep/Triceps
-Front Raises - 25
-Dumb. Shoulder Press -25
Shrugs - 20
-Inc. curl - 20
-Preacher curl - 15+10 (I DID THEM AT THE END OF MY LIFTING I WAS TIRED)
-Tri kickbacks - 15
-Tri pull-down - 70
I also accidentally worked my lats. Whups.
At the end of my workout, I was so TIRED. Like. My arms were super tight by the time I hopped on cardio, and it took a lot of stretching to get them loose agian. But, yeah, the treadmill is definitely more intense than the bike. It's full body movement versus lower body.
Tomorrow is a rest day, so I can eat/do whatever I want within reason. NEAT. Then Friday is chest and back :D Excite.
Also I can't help but feel a bit intimidated at the gym since everyone's lifting like super heavy weight! Seriously man 40+ dumbbells?! I guess if I did str training first I could feel better, but eh. I'm not interested in bulking so much honestly I guess I should since I'm so small...well. I'll do this workout for a month and see where it leaves me. If the results aren't great, I'll simply go back and start strength training. My arms are really the only things that haven't seen much strength gain, so I might str train those only. I DUNNO WE'LL SEE. If I can't curl at least 25 by month's end, that'd be pathetic.
That's about it though. I fail at making oatmeal. Stupid Quaker. OFFBRAND WORKED WAY BETTER.

OKAY
So hey check this out. Increased squat to 130! Five pounds away from those caddys! It didn't even feel that hard, though I'm not that impressed since it's pretty weak for squat.
I forgot to check my numbers on the other exercises. That was a lie. I didn't bring anything to write them down with actually.
But, yeah, I did everything on that list. My cardio usually consists of around 20 minutes of HIIT on the bike, but I upgraded to the TREADMILL. Man, the treadmill owns me so hard :( I'm glad I didn't start out there or else I'd have killed myself. Now that I have some endurance, I'm ready for it.
Next is arms? The gym is always a bit more full than I like at around 8-9, but it's the only time I can get there.
Still, I think giving my body parts a week of rest will do them some good. Muscle grows while they rest, not while you're lifting, so working them everyday is a bad idea. Badum. Also it turns out I can do pullups. I always avoided the pullup bar, but I pumped out five relatively easily. NEAT adding it to my back(?) day.
My eating is so bad right now it's not even funny. I skip snacks and stuff all the time due to not having food around but I'm working on it! I also need to go beg my parents for cashhhh at some point. I want to eat McDonald's NO STOP BAD just the fries though.

CRAP.
I think I have to edit my workout program again :/ My friend got me started, but I can take it from here now dealwithit.jpg
Here's the thing: Trying to cram a full body workout into an hour and 15 minutes is impossible. Really. It saps at my energy.
So, starting Monday, I'm training different body parts on different days:
Monday
Quad/Ham/Abs/Calves
-Squat
-Leg curls
-Leg Extensions
-Calf Raises
-Reverse Crunch
-Knee raises
-Short Crunch
Wednesday
Shoulder/Bicep/Triceps
-Front Raises
-Dumb. Shoulder Press
-Inc. curl
-Preacher curl
-Tri kickbacks
-Tri pull-down
Friday
Chest/Back
-Bench
-Incline Bench
-Flys
-Pressups
-Dead
-Pulldowns
-Barbell Row
-Dumbell Row
This will be so much easier to cram in along with my cardio without making me super tired. I hope it works out better since my schedule sucks a bit. Mondays will be a lighter day, Wednesdays will be a little more intense, and Fridays will be the toughest but MOST FUN. Because who doesn't like benching?
Okay I'm done night.

Meh,
I'm a little disappointed in myself.
I missed my Thursday workout in favor of sorrow-drowning, and then woke up too late on Friday to go to the gym. So. I went today.
Besides that, I've had a really bad week and I can't even tell anyone about it besides my old bro :I And he doesn't even know anyone involved. I MISS HAVING A BRO. Like, someone I can almost fully trust. I miss just sitting around at like 4am eating ice cream and talking about nothing. It's not the same talking on aim or skype or the phone. It's the fact that they're THERE that makes it so much better.
Whatever I am determined to not let anything get me down this week. NUMBERS.
Bench: 120
Dead: 125
Squat: 120
Curl/Tripress/militarypress/rows: 20/25
Also, flys are up to 15 pounds from 10.
Bad numbers. I tried upping bench, but one rep felt really wrong so I kept it at 120. Dead felt great; I can probably go up another 5, and Squats I added five but it felt wrong and I kept it at 120. Then I felt REALLY bad because I did my squats way too easily. I definitely need to up it to 125. Monday should be 125, 130, and 125. Still aiming for 135 all around. I want to be able to lift my body weight on the big three (Though I think I'm around 140 now).
The Iso exercises are mostly the same, though I upped my military to 25. Going to add calve raises. I should also start keeping track of my leg curls/extensions...ugh. I'd have to write them down, though, and then keep track of a notebook.
Right now I should be eating actually. EGGS YEAH okay bye.
I missed my Thursday workout in favor of sorrow-drowning, and then woke up too late on Friday to go to the gym. So. I went today.
Besides that, I've had a really bad week and I can't even tell anyone about it besides my old bro :I And he doesn't even know anyone involved. I MISS HAVING A BRO. Like, someone I can almost fully trust. I miss just sitting around at like 4am eating ice cream and talking about nothing. It's not the same talking on aim or skype or the phone. It's the fact that they're THERE that makes it so much better.
Whatever I am determined to not let anything get me down this week. NUMBERS.
Bench: 120
Dead: 125
Squat: 120
Curl/Tripress/militarypress/rows: 20/25
Also, flys are up to 15 pounds from 10.
Bad numbers. I tried upping bench, but one rep felt really wrong so I kept it at 120. Dead felt great; I can probably go up another 5, and Squats I added five but it felt wrong and I kept it at 120.

Update.
This is easy to update because I don't have to draw something lols. Okay I did indeed at 5 pounds to everything.
Bench: 120
Dead: 120
Squat: 120
Curl/Tripress/militarypress/rows: 20/2
Also, flys are up to 15 pounds from 10.
With the bench, I could only get two full sets of eight. If I had a spot I probably could've pushed through on the last one, but I didn't want to be stuck under it >_>; So, I'll keep it at 120 until I can get three full sets. Dead was pretty easy, even though I was sore. If I breathe correctly, I can lift it easier. I'll increase it by five pounds. With Squat, I'll keep it where it is. I've never liked squatting much, and I can't get 3x8 convincingly. On the last two reps of my last set, I was definitely poking at my limit. I think by next week I can increase Bench to 125, Dead to 130, and Squat to 125. Man these numbers are so weak ughgalkjflajsfd Once I make it to a caddy on each side I think I'll feel a lot better. It's just more aesthetically pleasing to see someone lifting the largest weight available, you know?
For Iso's, I don't care much. It's not as important as the big three for me, so I just do whatever. Curls and Tris are 20 in each hand, Military Press is 25, Rows is 25. I managed to get most of my cardio in, though I had to cut my cooldown from 6 to around three minutes. Annoying, but not a huge deal since I did enough walking afterwards to suffice lols. I got a ride from a friend but she had to drop her other friend off first which cut into my time a bit, but I still probably beat the bus :D
Been slacking on my stretches >_>; It's hard when I wake up after not enough sleep, thoughhhh! My body takes forever to wake up. And I'm supposed to start more advanced exercises but heck. I'm not READY too busy. And I should sleep NOW but wait a few more things to say.
Diet-wise, still lacking protein. It's hard to make up what I need without protein powder or more meat. You need 1g of protein per pound of body weight, so I need 135g per day. Ugh. Also need to go shopping soonish since I'm on my last carton of eggs, out of beans, and only have around six cans of tuna left. I have tons of oatmeal still, though, so that's good. All in all I'd only spend around twenty bucks to be good for a week and a half. I might start buying eggs three at a time instead of one, and the tuna sale is gone :( was kinda tired of it anyway...gonna buy some stuff for spaghetti though!
Despite the physical advantages, though, I'm tired a lot after working out. And I'm more interested in balancing my schoolwork with my workouts than anything else. Also had to carve out a little extra time for one of my friends >__> I'm a scheduling freak now, so I can't really do spur of the moment things anymore. Sucks. If I hadn't learned how to control most of my emotions, I might be sadder about it, but anger/sadness/disappointment is will within my controllable range. It's those happy ones that get me.
FINALLY I think I just need to work hardcore to finish four projects this weekend :T I might go to life drawing sessions tomorrow, but ugh. I feel like I should concentrate on animating. Three studios sucks plus Age of Shurikens and I may be working on someone's senior film. I know it's not related to getting /fit/ but STILL.
Okay I seriously need to sleep and rest my BULGING MUSCLES now later dogs.

AGAIN.
Went to the gym today. My numbers are:
Bench: 115
Dead: 115
Squat: 115
Curl/Tripress/militarypress/rows: 20/25 (Guessing, because I forgot lols they're just Iso's no biggie)
Honestly, could've done more on dead and squat, but I forgot what my previous numbers were. So. Just added a 35lb weight to both sides for everything. Will add a 2.5 to each side Wednesday hopefully. Right now, I do 3 sets of Bench, Dead, and Squat, and 2 sets of everything else. 8-9 reps, sometimes 9 because I feel like it. There was this guy who was squatting three plates and I was like ':/' but WHATEVER Iprobablywon'tgopasttwoplates.
Since the bus schedule is all kinds of messed up, I ended up getting there late and had to cut my cardio at the end ://// I only had ten minutes when I was done lifting, and I need minimum fifteen to get the heart pumping.
I nearly skipped the gym today to go to Five Guys, but...I dunno. It's weird because, logically, I know I shouldn't go eat fast food AND skip the gym. Should've been a no brainer. It's just...yeah. I had to weigh the pros and cons of it, and even then I was shaky on what to do since I reallyy wanted to hang with them. But CONVICTION. Hopefully I'll keep working out and it'll be worth it. Had a banana before gym, tuna right afterwards. It's hard to keep my calories up on these days since I wake up at like 4pm, work out, and then go to sleep at like 2am for class. I have to stuff my face it seems.
Diet-wise, still eating pretty well. I can't wait to get more money so that I can try something semi-extravagant and super healthy. Right now, I'm doing this thing where I make tuna and salsa wraps which is surprisingly tasty since it's a mix of sweetness and saltiness and is pretty overall satisfying. Also managed to stop having to get up in the middle of the night to piss thanks to /fit/. Made a topic, and an anon was like 'ya bro just dont drink water two hours before bed' and you know what? He was right :D
Honestly, I probably should've measured my weight before starting, but eh. Not too concerned with it.
That's it, will update Wednesday maybe with new numbers hopefully. five pounds to everything except the Iso's yeah!

>_>;
Okay, I know I JUST updated, but I have to mention this. I'm an inch taller.
I've never felt bad about my height since I figured it was something you couldn't help. I mean, if I'm 5'6, I'm 5'6. My dad is 6'3, my mom is around 4'11. Right in the middle for the most part. While on /fit/ a week ago, though, some guy was like 'yeah you can tot. get taller' and I was all 'say whaaat?' and tried.
Granted, I just woke up, so my spine hasn't been compressed by gravity yet, but hell! It's such a huge difference! I guess I'll shoot for 5'9, the average. After this, I think it's even more possible! I'm at the very beginning of the program, too, so I think I'll get the last 3 inches I need. I only measure every Sunday morning, And I'll probably make all the gains I can make with my schedule by around summer. The hardest part is remembering to stand/sit up straight when I'm doing things.
Also, I made this:
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Spicy-Bean-Salsa/Detail.aspx
Except I didn't use black eyed peas. And I used fresh tomatoes, jalapenos, black beans, etc.
I made a LOT of it, so. I add it onto scrambled eggs and a wrap or. It gives me that extra 100 calories I need to bump my meals up to 3-400 since eggs and tortilla wraps only comes up to 200. It's great cause I can pretty much eat whenever I feel like it which happens to be every two hours or so.
Also, I think I'm going to do SS. I was trying to avoid it, but like, I'm lifting pretty weak weight. Like, what I'm doing is just downright SAD. I'm going to add five pounds of weight to every workout, though. If I can.
Bench: 95
Dead: 115
Squat: 115
Curls: 20
So next week I need to increase my bench to 100, dead to 140, squat to 115, and curls can stay where they are. All my iso exercises I'm not too worried about.
It seems like I'm really into it but this is just in the beginning. Once I hit a plateau, I'll chill a bit with the exercise before I worry about climbing any higher.
Extra height + extra body + better diet + better focus + peeps mirin' = Yes.

Oh also
There's another reason. Cosplay. I want to do this guy:
...Yup. Easy, just have to get that body. It's why I'm not focused on bulking so much. /fit/ would call this in between skinny fat and ottermode, So as soon as I get here (maybe two months) I'll start looking for a Tokiko to go with my Kazuki cosplay:
I only know a few people who could fit her and would even consider doing it :C Actually, they may not since they probably haven't seen this series.
SO YEAH GETTIN' /FIT/ TO FIT IN AT /CGL/ cept not really.
K later making salsa :D

START.
So. Yeah. Separate blog to avoid cluttering my art blog with this stuff.
Recently, like, two weeks ago, I decided to change how I feel. I think back to high school and how unlazy and motivated I was, and I feel like a lot of it had to do with my diet and exercise back then. I'm hoping that getting back into shape will give me the energy and stuff I need to be boss-er.
Plus I miss being able to take off my shirt and have peeps mirin'.
I hang out on /fit/ a lot more now, read topics, get ideas, etc. Right now my usual diet is pretty small and simple; tuna, beans, nuts, oatmeal, eggs, bananas, and vegetables. As I go along I'll add stuff.
I eat 5-6 times a day, each meal being around 3-400 calories. It turns out that all this time I've been undereating! After adding up the calories in my old diet, I found out that I barely scraped 1200 most of the time. So, yeah.
On the downside, if I miss a couple of meals, my body goes 'LOLSCREWYOU' and gives me a headache. :T Maybe I have to work on packing snacks.
Lifting wise, I usually go to the gym MWF. My workout takes around an hour and a half max if I do everything. Right now it's:
5-10min. warmup stretches.
Squat 2x8
Calves 2x8
Deadlift 2x8
Dips 2x8
Bench 2x8
Row 2x8
Mil. Press 2x8
Lat pull down 2x8
Curls 2x8
Tris 2x8
Flys 2x8
Tri pull down 2x8
Leg ext. 2x8
Leg curl 2x8
If I have time, I might do some more curl isolation and machine flies just for the lulz, but usually I do around 20 minutes of cardio:
5-6min. warmup
1min. intense
2min. intermediate
1min. intense
2min. intermediate
1min. intense
5-6min. cool down.
5-10 minutes stretching (sometimes lawl)
This usually leaves me pretty tired, though recently, it really hasn't been so bad. I think I'll have to up the intense times to 1:30 within the next month. Also plan to up the number of sets to 3 for the bolded. Those are the most important exercises.
On T/TH, I do abs and full body. It's like my easy day. Full body is basically just modified up-downs; really hard after ten reps or so.
I feel pretty bad being in the gym since I'm soooo weak right now. Like, I do my bench at 95 pounds >_>; Granted, it's nowhere near my max, but I used to rep 135 back in high school EASY. 135 was, for lack of a better word, easy weight back then. It's what we warmed up with. It's also the weight we used in the rep contest that I got second place in :P I think it was like, 35 reps or something. So. Yeah. I'll up it to 105, though actually, I could probably do 115. I just don't want to risk it without a spot.
TESTOSTERONE WOO.
Side effects so far include being slightly more of a 'lol' person and carrying myself with that high school swagger :I I try not to, but like, I don't know. Something about working out again feels really good. Hooray for living in the past.
Besides that, I stretch every morning and every night. My body takes to exercise pretty okayly, so I'll get up progress pics in three months. I don't really want to get big like before, just stronger and more cut.
TL;DR: Started working out and watching my diet. If I stick with it, in three months, I'll post progress pics.
