Weight Gainers: Week 0

YeaILift

If you want to join this group before Week 1 starts, I need your info by 5:00PM Central, Nov 28. Of course you can join later if you want. However, this time will also be the deadline for all the following weeks as well.

I will be hosting a Round 2 of this if everything goes well and I have the time for it.

For 1rm, it only considers the best set. so for instance your bench press would be 1x5@95. Your dead lift is the perfect example. I'll get your info into the spread sheet tonight

chrisdavey

If he is new to weights though he is not going to be anywhere near natural max's so as long as he continues to do the same routine for the duration then the numbers wil be comparable.

YeaILift

I just ment he doesn't need to list how many sets he is doing. Just his best one each week per litt.

YeaILift

I think my goal for the next ten weeks is going to be to never have MFP display "YeaILift completed his food and exercise diary for the day and was under his calorie goal."

chrisdavey

it can be harder than it sounds!

YeaILift

I think I can manage.

As for goals, I've got to think about what I'd want my goals to be exactly, it's moreso a body fat % issue, I'd like to have the added weight be primarily muscle rather than fat , what that translates to w/ regards to 1 Rep Maxes, I have no idea.

Lets do this guys!

jdubs1201

This week's results:
1) Squats: 105
2) Bench Press: 100
3) Shoulder Press: 60
4) Deadlift: 100
5) Barbell Curl: 55

My squats and deadlifts probably won't be going anywhere in the next few weeks since my knee is jacked up and I'm trying to stay off it =(

That will still be part of Week 0. Week 1 starts Monday and ends next Sunday. That sucks about your knee. I would definitely advise against over training with it.
