Starting bulk! WOOT WOOT
I'm really interested in reaching a certain deadlift- which will require bigger engine- bigger engine means bulk. So here I go with that. I'm vaguely starting to consider competition in 2015
<insert pictures I'm going to take and load later LOL>
Starting stats
162 lbs
(will come back and edit measurements- they are at home currently)
aiming right now for 2000 a day- and consuming 50-70% of my workout calories.
11.1.2013
Food:
1800- obviously low plus workout I came in 650 calories short. BOO
Workout:
Chest day- super crappytastic workout- SB swing for 5 minutes (two sets of 2.5 minutes)
bench- arnolds- fly and dance.
Really under the weather on this one.
11.2.2013
FOOD:
2225- 600 left over to consume for working out- so low
I was running off 8 oz of dunkin donuts oatmeal- really NOT how I function- but killer workout
WORKOUT:
Front squats to failure- then back down
Super set 2 rounds
Walking Lunges 85 lbs
15 Box jumps
Super set 8 reps at 135 lbs
BB glute raises
DL
45 minutes dance.
good- but hard.
11.3.2013
Food: I'm sitting at 1115 calories- 800 more to go PLUS workout stuff- hoping to get up to 3000 today to make up for the light days the last two days.
Today is Back day WOOT WOOT.
Will add more in a few hours!

Chest day- sucks
hate benching- it sucks- I can't do it well on my own- and pushing is hard is- difficult. I was also at a new gym- I"m not shy about asking for a spot- but I'm trying to keep to myself just to make sure I don't make new friends so I waste time there.
Bench- 2 x 45 warm up 8 reps
95 lbs 6 reps
135 x 3 sets 3-4 reps
115- 4 reps
95 - 6 reps
Super set sets of 5 x 5
Arnold Press 20/25 lbs
Flat Fly 15/20 lbs
Cable decline fly 4 x 8 @ 30 lbs
TRX
> lawn mower thing- 1 x 10 (these suck)
> Fly
> Push ups
> Knee Tucks
25 medicine ball switching burpees.
Shoulders were killing me- I have severe front deltoid issue at this point. Sleeping on BF's bed which is significantly harder than mine- caused me a lot of aches and pains I wasn't expecting. Humph- restful weekend- not so restful.
Oh well.
I had beer and ice cream yesterday- so I'm pretty sure I hit calories. Definitely felt like a gnoshing day LOL
Back on the scale tomorrow!0 -
You look FANTASTIC!!!
In to follow your progress

You bench 95 lbs???????? I can't lift more than 65 with a spotter!
ETA: withOUT a spotter, not with LOL0 -
Thanks lovey!You look FANTASTIC!!!

I won't go over 155 without a spotter.
Everyone starts somewhere- actually 3 months ago- I couldn't bench the bar because I was having serious elbow issues- I'm VERY fortunate- I have been gifted with good genes for upper body strength.
Now. If only I could get my squat up to respectable standards!!! 0 -

LOL I've been doing push ups since almost since before I could walk- I feel like I would be cheating to say it's all me- I was given a great opportunity to be an athlete- and raised by a Marine so I'm coming from a much different place than a lot of people.
I still firmly believe that ANYONE can do it if they put their mind to it- but I'm not naive enough to think my childhood and college experiences haven't aided me along the way. You can do it too- it just takes work.
If it makes you feel better- my OHP is complete rubbish. LOL It's not a good lift for me- it just sucks.0 -
I'm working hard at it...definitely going to reach my goals if it kills me!0
-
it'll happen- you're eating at a surplus- go for it- rep the newb gains- you'll never see this much growth any other time- so just hammer it- go hard with the lifting- go hard with the food.
I'm actually LESS interested in size- and MORE interested in reaching a certain DL PR LOL_ but I needs a bigger engine to make that happen- hence the bulk!0 -
Sadly, my goal is just to look like Christmas Abbott...nothiong else LOL0
-
had to google... hawt.
I likey. Oh chit. I remember watching an article about her- like a little bio. She was a cool chick.
I don't see anything sad about that at ALL.
I want to look like her too- only just. you know- like me.
I'm a HUGE DLB fan girl- I might squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee everywhere if I met her in person.0 -
Well, you've got the right hair!0
-
Giggle- I still maintain she stole my look!!!
actually someone walked up to me and said he had to double check that I wasn't DLB- he goes- you know you look just like her?
I was immensely flattered LOL I should have lied and said yes. Just for funsies.0 -
You totally should have!0

useless day- way over ate- fajitas at lunch- home made pizza- smores- and 1/4 of a pepsi.
useless day- no working out- just cleaning- constantly cleaning.
No weighing- no measuring yesterday or today- GOD I SUCK AT THIS GAME.
I'm having a non-PMS crankified day. I hate everyone and everything.0 -

You're allowed to have those every now and then. Sounds like a great muscle repair day! (I'm trying to be positive :flowerforyou: )0 -
LOL hopefully I can talk ze BF into going to the gym at some point- I need to do some preparation work for my gig tomorrow- he's been at home being busy doing... um what was he doing- oh yeah- bombing my house- cleaning and spraying and cleaning some more.
Useless roommate is useless as always- so he's been doing all the work. Poor guy- but I really need to be able to do some work for my gig. Seriously. LOL
and I need to work out. Because I might go crazy otherwise.0
