IronReps: Get In My Belly! Log (featuring 3J)

[IronReps]

This is my second log here on Ology. The first was going well, until I hit a series of walls in my training which put me down at least 13 pounds (which puts me at about 174 at 6'1 )
Although I was making pretty solid gains due to a good workout regimen, there was still a huge flaw. My diet was shit. I figured that I could take advantage of my genetics and not have to have any kind of diet plan. Dead wrong.
I'm doing it right this time which is why I'm having 3J set me up with my diet. Gotta say that the amount of food he's giving me to eat is like nothing I've done.
As for my workout routine, it's basically a Dorian Yates Blood and Guts routine with a couple tweaks. I'll be spending the least amount of time possible in the gym, but lifting as intensely as possible.
I'll be doing this all naturally. The supplements that I'll be using are BSN No Xplode and a basic whey protein.
Out of this log my goal is to gain as much mass as possible, and also to show myself how important diet is.

Halfway through my week but I'll post what I've done since Monday. This log is my main tool to keep track of my progress so I'll be as detailed as I can.

Monday: Chest/Biceps
0630 1 scoop No Xplode
DB Fly: 45x12, 65x9
-no rest
Incline DB Press: 65x6
Decline BB Press: 135x9, 185x6
Concentration Curl: 30x9, 50x9
BB Curl: 50x13, 90x8

Tuesday: Legs
0700 1 scoop No Xplode

[3J]

well done bro.. keep the log going im excited to see your body change

 

[IronReps]

Thanks man!

Wednesday: Shoulders/Triceps

0700
Pre-Workout: 1.5 scoops NO Xplode
Behind Neck Press: 95x20, 155x8
Cable Upright Rows: 90x11, 120x11
Arnold Press: 30x7, 65x7
Cable Press Downs: 115x13, 140x18
Dip Machine: 90x9, 180x18

Shoulders are probably my least favorite lifting day, but today was good. Grubbed big for breakfast which gave me some pretty solid energy for the workout.
I should also point out that for all of my lifts, I don't really care for sheer weight. I focus on the form and muscle contractions. I have a warm up set, and one working set which is to total failure.
Tomorrow is Back day. Should be intense; my deadlift will suffer due to my extremely sore lower body but I'll get over it.

Thanks to Deftones for my pre-workout pump up!

Thursday: Back

Pre-workout: 1.5 scoops NO Xplode
Machine Pull Over:125x14, 195x10
BB Row:95x7, 135x18
Tbar Row:90x10, 135x14
Stiff Leg Deadlift:: 135x15

Moved the reps up for Back today because I'm usually always doing 6-10 and I wanted to mix it up. Had an intense pump going. I veered away from conventional deadlifts due to the fact that my legs are so sore I can't get into my truck without looking like a paraplegic.
This diet has loaded me with energy in my workouts, and I feel like I can recover my energy quicker.
From what I can see so far, 3J has hooked me up with a very solid diet plan.

Well I can say that my leg workout on Tuesday was effective. My calves hurt so bad that I can't walk to the kitchen without using my furniture for assistance. The last time they hurt this bad was when I ran 6 miles in those Vibram toe shoes.
I feel like if this continues I'll have calves like Arnie.

Monday: Chest/Biceps

Pre-workout: 1.5 scoops NO Xplode
DB Fly: 35x11, 60x10
Flat Bench Machine:125x16, 180x11
Incline Machine: 115x7, 140x11
Hammer Curl: 30x10, 45x10
Machine Curl:35x9, 70x11
Reverse BB Curl:30x9, 60x15

Great lift. Using the machines helped me focus on the actual contractions instead of just getting the weight up. Had huge pumps.
It took me a bit to get used to eating so much before my workout, but I have definitely been benefiting from that. It seems to give me more energy, focus, and intensity.

Tuesday: Legs

Pre-workout: 1.5 scoops NO Xplode
Squat:135x16, 225x10
Hamstring Curl: 115x12, 150x18
Seated Calf Raise: 45x10, 55x20

Before going into this workout my legs were still sore from last Tuesday. Usually I would take a few extra days, but my focus is to hammer the shit out of them. They should grow as long as I continue taking in all of this food.

Had to cut the workout short unfortunately.
Noticing I'm quite a bit more vascular lately. The cashier at Costco told me I had amazing veins. Wasn't sure how to take that one.

I think I'm going to change it up and start a 5x5 routine. Aside from legs, it takes a lot for me to get sore on this routine right now. My body has become accustomed to it.

Thanks dude. I'm pretty stoked!
Not sure when the cycle will be. Definitely not till I get back up to my previous weight ~190.

Good, glad your doing this the right way. We need more of you around here. So many dumb hard headed kids that don't listen about the importance of diet and just want to juice.

What's up guys. Been crazy busy at work so it's been hard to keep up on the log.
I've got to say that 3J is everything that I expected, plus some. I'm sitting at 186 right now from a pesky 173. All in about a month's time. He really came through to help me get that lost weight back on.
I'm out of town right now, so this log is to continue on Monday.
