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.
That's it.

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.

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.

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.
