Guess you'll have to eat even MORE food.
I saw this obese woman on a show called "Obsessed" who was trying to get to 550 pounds or something ridiculous. She thought it looked good LOL. She was eating a homemade shake that was more than 3,000 calories (part of a 16,000 calorie-a-day diet). It was made of heavy cream, ice cream, a bunch of different oils -- you could try that.

haha I may have to! My diet has pretty much gone to crap because I want to gain weight, I don't mind greasy food or sugar or any of that, but I still try to get a lot of protein. I'll order a burger or club melt to get that protein and extra fat in. Man I love bulking. |

LEGS, Tuesday, September 7, 2004
Squats 6 x 210 lbs, 6 x 220 lbs, 6 x 230 lbs
Calf Raises 12 x 200 lbs, 12 x 210 lbs, 12 x 220 lbs
Good Mornings 6 x 115 lbs, 6 x 115 lbs, 6 x 115 lbs
Hack Squats 6 x 135 lbs, 6 x 135 lbs, 6 x 135 lbs
Notes: Squats felt good and strong. Traps/Neck/Back ache once again from heavy weight and no padding on bar...I hope I get used to it. It's nice though, the GMs felt so light compared to squats and calf raises haha. Hadn't done GMs in months so I didn't push myself too far. Never attempted hack squats before, so these were cool. The weight was light but I felt an intense burn at the end of each set becaues my quads were already so wiped out. Overall, an excellent work out! |

Hey gcs! Work-outs still looking great and strong.  How many calories are you eating a day and how much are you wanting to gain?

Haven't really been keeping track of calories, but I'm sure it's rather high. A good example is the dinner I just had...2 cheeseburgers, 1 slice pepperoni pizza, 1 pint milk, then back in my dorm a couple cookies and a snack cake. Anyway, I'm about 160 lbs, I want to get to at least 165 lbs. I was going to aim for 170 lbs, but if it's gonna take this long I dunno. I still might be able to make it alright by the time I cut, which probably won't be until late winter/early spring. Until I figure something out, I'll just keep eating and eating...doesn't bother me |

CHEST, Wednesday, September 8, 2004
Bench Press 10 x 90 lbs, 8 x 110 lbs, 6 x 125 lbs, 6 x 140 lbs, 8 x 105 lbs
Incline Flyes 6 x 30 lbs, 6 x 30 lbs, 6 x 35 lbs
Dumbbell Press 6 x 45 lbs, 6 x 50 lbs, 5 x 55 lbs
Incline Press 6 x 105 lbs, 5 x 115 lbs
Notes: Raised the working weight on the bench 5 lbs each set from the original chart for this program to continue the trend from week 1. I also did 6 x 140 lbs instead of 4, because I had a spot (female) and thought 4 would make me look too weak haha. Ended up finishing just fine though. Incline flyes felt strong, I feel 40s in me soon enough. DB press was pretty good, I didn't think I had 55s in me but apparently I did. Finally I was burned out by the time the incline press came around. Great workout. |

BACK/BICEPS, Thursday, September 9, 2004
Deadlifts 6 x 225 lbs, 6 x 235 lbs, 6 x 245 lbs
Bent Over Rows 6 x 105 lbs, 6 x 115 lbs, 6 x 125 lbs
Barbell Curls 6 x 70 lbs, 6 x 75 lbs, 4 x 80 lbs
Hammer Curls 6 x 30 lbs, 6 x 30 lbs, 6 x 30 lbs
Notes: Focused on using upper back muscles for BORs instead of just using my arms to pull it up. I used a slow controlled motion...much more difficult. Been at same BB curls for awhile...oh well. First time doing hammer curls, could have gone heavier but 35s were being used. My forearms and biceps got quite a workout today! |

I was just looking at the last couple of pages of your journal. It looks like your sunday off did you some good.. Nice benches, squats, and deadlifts.

Thanks awelch. I try to take 2 days off a week, but once again this week I only get one due to the holiday weekend. My squats and deads have been improving 5 lbs a week for quite some time now, and I'm hoping the trend continues haha. But my bench on the other hand...let's just hope this new program adds a good 5-10 lbs to my max. |

SHOULDERS/TRICEPS, Friday, September 10, 2004
Arnold Press 6 x 35 lbs, 6 x 35 lbs, 6 x 35 lbs
Dumbbell Side Lateral 6 x 20 lbs, 7 x 15 lbs, 8 x 15 lbs
Dumbbell Shrugs 6 x 55 lbs, 6 x 60 lbs, 6 x 65 lbs
Close Grip Bench Press 6 x 95 lbs, 6 x 105 lbs, 6 x 115 lbs
Dips 5, 10
Notes: A very different kind of workout. First time doing the Arnold press. I would have moved up to 40s but they were taken. Hadn't done DB shrugs in forever so I went light...too light I think. I also hadn't done close grip bench in a long time so I went light on this too, also had no spot. I've learned my lesson it's better too light than too heavy! |

Yep, it's bad to get pinned without a spot to help you out of it. Been there, done that. Don't want to do it again. Looks like you are working out the smart way. Keep it up.

You can always roll the bar down your chest, past the abdomen, across the boys, get it onto your thighs, then when you try to stand up, you get a squat to finish your bench routine out. It don't take too many times to learn after that one.

Ouch seems kinda painful. Last time it happened to me though I was on the decline, so I suppose it would be a little more uncomfortable to roll it across my face lol. But that's not a bad idea if I'm really in a jam.
