DB's Journal

Greetings,

I am starting my journal with hopes of getting some good feedback on what I'm doing. I am 22 years old, 6'2'' tall, and weigh around 182 pounds. I will post some pictures tomorrow. I generally work out 5 or 6 days a week. I have access to a home based gym that I prefer to use. But I also have a membership at Golds. This is my work out plan I have been generally following.

My goals are to put on as much size as possible for the time being. I'm getting married June 20th though, so I may try to cut down around May. I work out early in the mornings. Usually get up about 6 and begin around 7:30 or 8. I wake up to a couple glasses of water then a protein shake (22g) with low fat milk and usually some oatmeal with fresh fruit or a whole wheat bagel. Then I wait a while and take BlackPowder and hit the weights. I take another whey shake (44g) with glutamine, creatine, and I just got some dextrose in today. Not really sure how much I'll take yet. I've been just usually eating a banana. I keep my diet pretty strict. I struggle taking in enough calories, especially on days I work. I will post some pictures and my work out and diet for tomorrow sometime tomorrow. I appreciate any advice.

Wish you the best with your new journal! :)

Rock it OUT, man! :)

Be so tough you can just eyeball the weights and they whimper and cry before you even start throwing them around with a purposeful function!


Wish you the best!


Best regards,

Pictures

Here are a couple of pictures of where I am. I think I am slightly bloated by the creatine. Before I get married, I will probably get off it and trim down a little then head right back to putting on muscle after. I think my frame is big enough to pack on some muscle.

So that is what my workout is looking like so far. Not a lot of cardio because I work on my feet for long periods of time almost every day. I am getting ready to introduce some running in about 3 times a week just for the endurance. I am a little undecided on a concrete goal yet. I am feeling like I need to put on some solid muscle and gain a lot of strength before I worry about losing any fat. Having a little fat doesn't bother me much for now. Any critique of my routine or advice on setting a firm goal would be appreciated. Also, I am thinking about changing up my routine to possibly a 3 day split and hit it twice a week so I can hit my body parts twice a week. What do you guys think?
