Well here it is ladies and gents.

The draft is done, time to get to work...

I will start this thread with my objectives.

I am currently fluctuating between 195-200. My goal so far was to bulk for a month and then cut what ever fat I would had gained.

The bulking has been going well, as seen in my journal, and I have 2 more weeks to finish in order to start cutting, as planned. Quick note - my lifts are increasing and bf% seems to be lowering as well.

I am 2 weeks into my the bulking routine I made for myself and the results are evident to me and others around me. Veins in my forearms are showing, I am getting multiple veins on the biceps as well...my shirts are becoming too large for me and my waist has dropped...diet is pretty clean aside from cheating once or twice per week.

So - 2 more weeks of bulking, then time to get rid of that pathetic lump of fatness. :yelrotflmao:

My current routine is a 3 day full-body isolation split. Days used are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Current sets/reps are 5x5...building up to maximum load on last set/rep. Off days are Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Saturday I do a FBW with compounds and a couple of isolations depending on what muscles need it, needless to say this workout is pretty hard - it lasts about 2 hours and I leave the gym completely destroyed.

On the isolation days I use 3 different exercises per muscles. ie. Preacher Curls, Hammer Curls, Standing DB Curls for biceps, and do them all 5x5.

On Saturday I try and hit every muscles with at least two different exercises with the compound/iso workout.

Bulking routine:
Monday - Shoulders/Legs/Traps
Tuesday - Chest/Triceps
Wednesday - Back/Biceps/Abs/Obliques
Thursday - Off
Friday - Off
Saturday - Full Body Workout (Compounds and a couple of isolations)
Sunday - Off

In 2 weeks I will be doing this routine...

Cutting Routine:
Monday FBW1or2, 20min. HIIT on Rowing Machine.
Tuesday 20min. bike ride, HIIT style.
Wednesday Swim...
Thrusday 20min. bike ride, standard 60% HR intensity.
Friday FBW1or2, 20min. HIIT on Stationary Bike.
Saturday - Swim...
Sunday - Off

HIIT will be 20 secs all out 1 min rest. Intensity and duration will be adjusted once each week.

All weight lifting sessions consist of 3x12 reps.

FBW1 consists of: BPs, Squats, DLs, Standing Alternating DB Curls, Triceps Extensions, Lat Pulldown, Abs, Obliques, Leg Curls, Shrugs.

FBW2 consists of: Incline BPs, Squats, DLs, Hammer Curls, Cable Triceps Pushdown, Bent Over Row, Abs, Obliques, Leg Curls, Shrugs.

Come Monday, me and Dry will be starting to put entries into this thread - till then, I hope you all have a great weekend!

:)

This is just a reference note for Eric three months from now... today you lift like a little girl.

When you look back at this in three months you will be lifting like a medium girl.
 
AS for DRY... (James)

I am in a bulk cycle until October 14th... I plan on eating every peice of meat that I can get my hands on. I'm on a 4 day / week schedule, similar to erics, Monday - Thursday, with Fri/Sat/Sun (weekends) off to travel. I am doing a WS4SB program, which I started Monday, so this coincides perfectly. After a week of the program I have no doubts that I will be able to follow it strictly 4 days / week.

My goal is to be 175 lbs by Oct. 14th. I wanna be thick! With the weight I've dropped I feel great but need to fill out a bit because of my body type (broad shoulders, skinny calves, I'm carrot shaped).

Whoever of the two of us is FURTHER from their their goal 3 months from today owes the person who gets closer to their goal a steak dinner, payable in the form of a $25 gift card to a chain restaurant (outback/chilis/longhorne steakhouses etc.)

[And if you don't agree with the steak dinner stipulation, I will redraft a new partner.]
 
And that's the bottom line, son, 'cause still-Dry says so.

Eric, your cutting routine is unnecessarily complex (or, high in volume in the wrong places if you prefer), all out of order, lacking sufficient frequency, and smells faintly of pomegranate.

If you were my draftee, you'd have my foot up your ass already. Dry is being way too gentle.
 
You have no idea what the **** you just got yourself into.

:cool:

I can deal with the steak thingy. I can deal with all of this...but first I will have to come up with numbers...ie. weight lifting goals and actual weight goals.

You better be ready to sweat and hurt my friend, because if you do not give out 300% effort, I am going to destroy you.

I'll be waiting at the finish line, make sure you have that gift certificate handy.

I haven't been more motivated than this in a while - this will be fun and interesting...but only for me, HA!

Eric

:rolleyes:
 
Focus, 3 months from now - you will be my bitch even more so than now.

GTFO.

;)

1) I will be done with my course before this thing is over and I will be a CFT.

2) My routines always get adjusted, not by much, but they always have ended up being modified in order to give me proper rest and frequency.

3) My cutting routine couldn't be simpler, dummy. It's so simple, wtf are you talking about? nub.

Are you sure you want to get caught in this crossfire, Focus?

You make interesting cannon fodder.

What does CFT stand for? Complete **** 'Tard? :D Your **** is out of order! :boxing_smiley:

In 3 months, you'll be lucky if you can even walk down the same street as me without people pointing at you and laughing. Japanese tourists taking pictures and ****. Making videos and putting them up on youku. Little kawai girls asking for your autograph because they think you're that dude from my chemical romance.

And when you come crawling to beg my forgiveness, seeking to bask in the splendor of my voluminous, loquacious and most mellifluous information matrix, it will be too late. And I shall join Dry in the eating of steak. And I shall laugh. Uproariously. Your tears will be my sauce. Delicious sauce.

Also, you are fat.

No, it's a pick-you-up-and-pitch-you-in-the-river process.

You see - I already have two big cannons. I understand the concept behind using them quite thoroughly.

Woah, there, sparky. This isn't that kind of smack talk.

You are not in prison anymore, Damian!
 
I will dive into my studies extensively this week-end and will take what everyone has said here today and check it.

Focus: My cutting routine what are your opinions on it, what should I do and why? My swim days will be very light...as for biking and the FBW I don't see anything wrong with them...?

Big-T: As for bulking, Tom, I do real isolations only once or twice per week on each muscle and do compounds once per week at the moment. If it should be changed, how should it be done according to you and why?

Dry: Die, sissy. ;)

:D

I have been lifting in-consistently for over a year, been serious for about a month.

I am 24, ~200lbs.

I love this **** too, realworksucks, I can't get enough of this....

Fixed your post.

() means superset with full rest - DL, rest 60s, BP, rest 60, repeat, for example. This is basically to save time. You don't want to be in the gym all day, it's counterproductive.

[] means an actual superset - Shrug, then curl, then rest 90s and repeat. I left the curls because you seem really devoted to your Hoganism.

But that's a friggen lot of exercises, and brutal on your body. If you're doing 3x12, that's a total of 30 sets. Not to mention DLing twice a week.

What's your training age? (How long have you been weight training consistently? In years.)
 
lol, Focus, mate...

Those exercises we're not listed in any particular order.

I sometimes do supersets with the whole damn thing...I play around with it a WHOLE lot. I switch it up, reverse it and I make sure I do the bigger lifts first.

I might even screw around with the sets and reps.

Oh yeah, and I use logic too...pretty neat uh? lolol

:p

Actually I've had weights in my apartment since I moved in...that's 5 years now...have been inconsistent with workouts which consist of BW training, weight training and Martial Arts classes for about 5 years (But only one in MA classes). Results are apparent but I still got some fat on me.

I don't do lunges yet, since my ankle is chipped. Once I get an operation for it...I will allow myself to do these. Tried squats plenty and it seems fine for it.

I have done workouts that have had 40+ sets in them...and was fine...I can handle brutal. The harder the punishment on the body, the better the results.

Now, feed my anger and determination with more smack talk, please.

Alright Dry...I put a lot of thought to this today and here is what I want to do.

I want to cut as much as possible starting Monday. I came to the conclusion that this is my ultimate goal for now...I want to lose all this fat...So far my bulking routine has been going pretty damn well and I have actually lowered my bf% a little in only 2 weeks times.

I have taken photos of myself 2 weeks ago. In 3 months from now I want to look different - so different that I will make you go - holy **** I owe you a damn steak.

If you do not have this reaction the steak shall be yours and I will gladly give it to you, you POS. :D

In short - my goal - is to achieve a complete body and look transformation.

My life will suck the next 3 months - I will give it my ALL. My efforts in this shall be so tremendous that my results will awe everyone. This is how I do things and this is what Eric is all about.

Day in and out - everything will be meticulously watched and studied, every decision I make shall be checked and re-checked, my studies shall become the better part of my life for the next 3 months, I shall transform my body into my personal training business card and business will go ****ING BOOM.

You better be as serious as I am about this, we both deserve to get everyone to go "Holy ****ing hell GUYS this draft team KICKED-OUR-ASS!!!"

I don't want this to become a competition with each other I want this to be teamwork, I want us to awe everyone on this forum, we ****ing deserve it...whatda say bro?

We don't need smack talk, we don't need aggressive competition we are better than this, we can use our will, our passion and our determination together and achieve greatness.

Hope you consider this well my friend,

Anyhow, if you don't want to be great, just pick another teammate, sissy.
