@DuckReconMajor hey, I haven't really been as actve around here and sort of stopped posting but uh I have definitely progressed since my first week. My squat is at 190 lbs right now, deadlift is 185, bench press is 130 (that one was really hard to do today), I got to 95 on OHP before stalling (could only do 2-3 reps at…

@ohmscheeks , hotness?
-
Thanks for that man! I was wondering why it had tried to do that as a video. And for benching, I have actually done more weight than where I am at, but sort of working my way back up to make sure form is better. But I would say I will probably need one soon once the weight starts getting sort of iffy for me. So in that…
-
Wow I just realized I had so many videos on my phone from working out that I never uploaded them to YouTube haha! My last one was me squatting 105 lbs a little over two weeks ago (yesterday I did 140)! So if anyone wants to check out my updated videos here is the link (just remove the spaces in between the https letters):…

Hey everyone, back from vacation and definitely indulged on food this weekend haha! It was nice to have that "reprieve" so to speak and just have fun. But that also means I am going to squeeze in some cardio and ab work this weekend so I hopefully still lose weight on Monday :smile:
-
Appreciate that man! Squeezed in a quick SL 5x5 workout before having to shower and head out with the family to a casino overnight :) Can't wait fo
-
Not much going on today, just a quick ab workout at home since I really just wasn't feeling it today but still felt I should do something, you know?
-
Thank you :) And yeah that is what I am currently doing actually, on the off days I do one day of cardio and the other day just some ab work (occasionally yoga on weekends).
-
Hello there! I do go to the gym just started fairly recently actually! Honestly I just go early around 8 am and that seems to be the magical time where one or both racks are open so just find a time that works for you and there is not a lot of people. And I do really like this program so far :)
-
I want to think I measured correctly since I usually do it more than once to be sure (usually slight variation but nothing more than like an 1/8 of an inch). Thank you though!
-
Whoooa today's workout was a little tougher (OHP is hard lol) but pushed through to get those reps out at 75 lbs. Hit 125 lbs. on squats and DL today, can't wait til Monday to finally try it out with the 45 lb plates :)
-
@DopeItUp yeah discouraged, it just comes from me being harder on myself and also the fact that this is not my first cut but it is the first time I have been doing consistent weightlifting and trying to lose more slowly, as opposed to the last couple of times where I did not really track and lost at a faster rate. It's…
-
I hope so Joe, I really do! And to everyone, I really appreciate the positive feedback! I am really hard on myself so that sort of clouds what I see and makes it hard for me to notice any changes, more so all the flaws my body has and still have to work on. Especially since I have been down the cutting road several times…
-
Congratulations on the weight loss man! I'd love to add you as a friend for support/advice! Sending the request now!
-
Holy crap dude your transformation is amazing! You are almost half of the weight that you used to be! This is really quite inspiring :smile: I saw that you did mostly cardio and then towards the end you started doing some strength training but just wondering what your diet was like?
-
Wow that is a lot of stuff! Haha, ever consider making one of these with whey protein?
-
Holy crap that is a DENSE shake lol. What is in it?
-
I think that with the shakes it comes down to personal preference and need. So if you are low on protein and you need it to supplement your diet, then definitely use it! I used to drink 2-3 large protein shakes every day (so maybe a third of my protein came from the shakes or around 75-80 grams) since I did not eat so much…
-
Great job dude! You should open your diary so people can see where you are at an help you out with food suggestions!
-
Yeah freshman year is very hard, especially with work and friends and all that; it is hard to find time to work out. Not to mention the freshman 15 haha! I gained that and then another 10 pounds! Wish I had spent more time committed to working out then eating "fat sandwiches" as they are known at my school. But good for…
-
Just found this thread in the forums! Congratulations man that is great! First year of college is rough for sure, was my worst year so far. Going into my senior year now. How's the bulk coming along (current weight and all that)?
-
House Lannister? No way lmao, one of the last houses I would join. For me it is a toss up between the Starks and the Targaryens. Both are underdogs waiting for their comeback to greatness in my opinion! Even have a poster of the direwolf in my room :smile:
-
Will be moving this log to my blog if people want to check it out! --> http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/collegenerd20
-
That is fantastic man! A 280 bench is awesome and the one pound gain is great! Definitely on a good path man!
-
Let myself indulge on some food today since it was my cousin's birthday and I have been pretty on point with my nutrition all week. Still managed to squeeze in a few slices of pizza, some soda, and some ice cream and be under my calorie limit for the day :smile: --> 2600/2700 so I don't think I did too badly haha!
-
Day 12 Happy Friday everyone! Woke up a little earlier this morning to hit the gym so I was there around 7:30 AM as opposed to my usual 8 AM and what a difference half an hour makes haha. There were in fact more people today! At least the squat and power racks were free so I was able to do my Stronglifts workouts using…
-
Feeling good about my food intake today: Calories: 2700/2700 --> Hit them exactly, YEEEEEESSS!!! Carbs: 336/338 g Protein: 196/169 g Fat: 73/75 g Normally my macro distribution is around 40/35/25 but since I am running low on meat and protein powder and I need the calories, I thought for the time being (the last couple of…
-
Hello everyone! Day 11 here! Off day from Stronglifts so I decided to do an ab workout of my own creation since I was not sure what to do lol! So I tried to use different exercises that hit different areas and it looks something like this: Cable crunches: 3 x 12 (30 lbs.) Crunches on the ab machine: 3 x 12 (85 pounds)…
-
Thank you Matt and Joe, really appreciate the positive feedback :) Want to provide as much information as I can in my log so people know what is going on and how I am going about this! Anyway, since I am on Day 10, I thought I would also include my updated weight and measurements from Monday as well as today's workout:…
-
Holy crap dude! Your progress is amazing! I just started SL 5x5 myself last week! With your progression with each of the big lifts, it makes me more eager to keep moving forward!
