True!!! Thanks for making me realize that!! Tend to forget from time to time.

Any advice for me reaching my goal of 170 lbs? I'm stuck at 165 and have been for about a month now.

 

Hey Nik!!

you know after a month of doing the 5x5 I really didn't see a major increase in my weight. (then again it was only a month) But on the 2nd month I starting doing legs twice a week. One day the 5x5 and about 3-4 days later I did 4 sets of 10-12 reps at only 150 lbs for volume.

This past month of being inconsistent on legs has taken its toll, I got considerably weaker. haha

 

that fucker won't stop looking at you huh?

 

nah man, that ugly douche bag just stares and stares at me...lol

 

Bigger spoon!

Gallon of milk a day works (GOMAD) or dozen eggs a day if milk isn't your thing! Could also eat a PB&J sandwich before you eat every meal!

 

just eat eat and eat some more, I've been cooking a lot more and taking less shakes and gained weight. i have been shopping at places like sprouts and aj's fine foods, not sure if those are nation wide but they have a lot more good foods.

 

I was eating about 6-8 eggs total a day, when I did gain the weight. Along with a a scoop of monster milk after a work out usually followed by a pb-j sandwich an hou or two later. Even my sis said I was eating way too much. haha

Went in for an eye exam last week and the optometrist said their was cholesterol deposits or something along those lines in my eyes. Really got me worried. So I want to go get some labs done and have everything checked out here pretty soon.

I also need to start running again though. I have less energy now-a-days than when I used to run.

Eating healthy is expensive haha. Still debating on whether or not to trade in my truck.

 

I'll trade you trucks +5k cash lol
Your right about eating good is expensive. But the only way to really get big is in the kitchen.

 

A wise man once told me you get strong in the gym and big in the kitchen

 

Do you need to drink more water takin in that many carbs?

 

I'm curious about the cutting/refeed/maintenance/gaining schedule. Is there a wiki or something that generally explains the basics of the routine?

 

I'm going to start a short before bed work out just to keep some consistency. I'm just wondering if this would be counterproductive or could cause any problems.

100 push ups and 250 sit ups. I alternate between push ups and sit ups, so 15 push ups then 50 sit ups. The sit ups range from standard ones, leg lifts, bicycle and side sit ups. I also throw in 1 minute of holding a bridge at the end.

Any suggestions?

 

Why not when you wake up? It may stimulate the CNS and keep you up? Maybe not.....give it a shot and let us know!

 

There is a ton of differant push ups you can do too.
