Taking it to the next level(I want to look like I work out). - JP Fitness Forums

ParanoidAndroid · 04-22-2007, 03:52 PM

OK, I hit my goals(2 months early), so I'm starting a new log. My main goal now is to get bigger and add muscle/weight. I want to get stronger also, and adding muscle will help me with this. I'm doing the Waterbury Method right now.

For nutrition, I'm keeping it simple. Clean foods, lots of good fats and veggies, and a big meal after I work out.(like today I had 3 bowls of cereal/milk, with 1 scoop of whey in water) This works for me. If I get stuck at a weight for a while, I'll eat more. Simple.

Stats:
Age-17
Weight-169
Height-5'9"
Bodyfat-12-14 percent, not sure.
Deadlift-315
Squat-235
Bench-185

Goals by end of 2007:
Weight:190
Height-5'10"(you never know)
Bodyfat-as long as I'm not a fat fuck.
Deadlift-405
Squat-315
Bench-225

Cereal is nothing more then refined carbs. In most cases packed with ingredients no one should ingest. I would not suggest it as a stable in a "clean" bulk.

Comments:
-this was hard as hell. This is my first time doing an intense total body workout, and it kicked my ass.
-Squats were tough. Every set was challenging. the short rest(70s) killed me.
-dips felt good.
-My shoulders have no width, so I'm gonna try doing lateral raises and see if that helps. Heavy shoulder pressing hasn't done much.

I'll agree with you that it shouldn't be a staple food. But it is good to eat simple carbs after working out, and cereal works great for this. I only eat it after working out.

I loved the Waterbury Method. It's so simple that it felt like my mind was free to do all the other things it needed to do.

Plus, it really got me stronger. It was my first time using a 10x3 setup. Good stuff.

this will be good. . . . I'll be watching PA.

Nice work..

Lateral raises added probally about a 1/2 inch of width to my delts in just a few months. They actually stick out pretty good now, what I also found was that upright rows and behind the neck presses also hit them well.. But these are 2 controversial movements I suppose.

You will get to all of your goals for sure.. Just eat lots of food haha.. I usually end up getting pretty fat in my bulks but I suppose that preference.

Looks like a good plan PA....best of luck to you! I just started a Waterbury program (BBB) and I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

ParanoidAndroid · 04-22-2007, 06:23 PM

thanks guys!

One more thing that I like about WM is that it is only 3 days a week. I'm taking about 7 standardized tests(APs, SAT2s, ACT) in the next 2 months, so I need all the time I can get to study. I'll probably just jog for 20 min tomorrow, maybe in the morning.

Alcoholiday · 04-22-2007, 09:04 PM

good luck man.

just don't beat me to pulling over 4 bills

jijin · 04-23-2007, 11:19 AM

good luck man! You're gonna love WM.

ParanoidAndroid · 04-23-2007, 02:27 PM

thanks guys.

I feel like I got hit by truck today. Almost everything is sore...especially my quads. my hip also feels pretty bad today, so I'll just take it easy today and get some rest. I should be good by tomorrow.

ParanoidAndroid · 04-24-2007, 02:14 PM

my hip is really bad today...i can't even walk good. Best case scenario is me being able to lift on thursday. I'll probably have to restart WM next sunday.

Good set up PA - hope you get into the > 400 deadlift club

slimsaw00 · 04-24-2007, 04:56 PM

PA you doing any dynamic flexibility? If you've got a little extra cash I'd definitely suggest picking up Magnificent Mobility. It's helped me out a ton, and continues to help.

ParanoidAndroid · 04-24-2007, 05:43 PM

I should. I even have MM. I've been too lazy though. I'm pretty sure though that this injury isn't a mobility thing.

finboy · 04-25-2007, 08:45 AM

PA - hope you get thru this injury quickly so you can get back on track. Also, here's to 5'10" by December!!!
