Training til it stops hurting: MexiFRO's Log

[mexiFRO]

So Kyle convinced me to start a log for the 08 year. I have been lifting for about 2 years now consistently and I think its time to do this. I'm curious as to how I progress and I'd like to keep track of numbers.

I started at 220 2 years ago and in 7 months I weighed about 190. I have kept a steady 185 +/- 2lbs since then. Lately I have been dropping weight so I decided I needed a new goal: Get to about 190 at 8-10% by June. Realistic? Yes, with strict diet and dedication. Right now I weigh 181. I will be taking Creatine for 2 months, whey (over 200g per day along with 250g of carbs) and some nitric oxide. I'm a hard gainer. Lean mass only.

Current Stack:
Controlled Labs White Blood (a little disappointed with the results)
Controlled Labs Green Bulge
Dymatize Whey Protein

Thats an awesome chest workout Mexi!!

[mexiFRO]

Thanks. I don't think I'm strong by any means but thanks for the kind words

 

[Lionheart]

Couple of good workouts.Got some strenght there man

 

[Kyle]

Keep it up Greg. I've been reading up a lot on bulking routines and I started a 3x8. If it does well for me you might want to try it too because I don't put on mass very easily either. My arms have been around 15" for like 6 months now but all my numbers have increased dramatically

 

[mexiFRO]

I decided to go light on my arms when I workout chest or tris due to the fact that I'm dedicating an arm day and I don't want my arms to overdevelop compared to the rest of my body.

It was my first day taking green bulge, white flood and a whey before a workout.

Kyle, I'm not too worried about dropping the amount of sets but I will aim for about 8 reps from now on.

 

[Lionheart]

Good amount of work done there.Slow reps and 21s for biceps
Nice workout

 

[Rocky]

Another log and it looks good too. Good choice of lifts! Nice weight and numbers too!

 

[mexiFRO]

Thanks guys. I'm debating on whether I should lift today because the golf course I work at flooded out and it doesn't seem like it will be open. I was going to take the day off but I may do arms and abs....although my biceps feel a tit bit sore. Should I? It'll be 5 days in a row...I don't mind going that much but I just don't have anything else to do today...

 

[Kyle]

If you feel like your body can take it go ahead. Although I felt like that yesterday and 2 workouts overwhelmed my ass and I was done for the day.

 

[pGhi]

Man go ahead good luck

Awesome man !!

The 21s are killers :3

How did the nap work by the way ?

 

[Fatality]

Very impressive and outstanding weights you got going on here Mexi. It was a great idea that you decided to post a log of yourself because not only can you monitor your progress, but us as well. Give it about a couple of months or so, and you'll be pressing like you never believed before. Well...Good Luck with everything!

No nap, decided to just stay up but now I'm tired as hell.
