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.

Friday
Chest/Back

-Bench - (135) FFFFFFFFFFF
-Incline Bench (120/115)
-Flys (15)
 -Dead (165) :D
 -DB Press (40)

-Pulldowns (100) Shoulder effed up later
-Pull weight chest thing (60)
-Dumbell Row (45)
Dip (3x7)


Stupid bench. I might lay off and do DB press for a couple weeks.

-Front Raises - 25
-Dumb. Shoulder Press Arnold Press - 30
Shrugs - 20 N/A (gonna do them fri, was running out of time)
Lat Raises - 15
Overhead Press - 85

-Inc. curl - 25
-Preacher curl - 25+20 
-Pull ups - 5
-Tri kickbacks - 20
-Tri pull-down - 90
-Close grip bench - 95


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.

yup.

Monday
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.

Improvements like whoa.

Dang son. Numbers.'

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.

Yeah separate post for that.

Oh man for V-Day I did something that I can't tell anyone except my bro about. HAHAHAHAHAHA I'd say it here but I'm not convinced that people don't read this blog SO.

Anyway gonnna sleep or somethin.

Yup.

Numbers:

Monday
Quad/Ham/Abs/Calves


-Squat (140) Could've done more, didn't feel like it.

-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.

ok

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.

:/

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.
