ProteinTic's Strength / Mass gain Adventures

Here is to some mishaps and mischiefs in experimenting with gaining some decent / respectable power / mass in the winter.

Jon is already on a mass gaining program and I will dabber into it sometime in September. This is just a startup CO-JOURNAL of ProteinBoy and myself.

Just as a Disclaimer from my end of things, most of what I write here is bro-science and some br0 logic and motivation might be used. This means that it might work for myself or PB but may not be the most effective method. And oh, I "borrowed" this idea from NBS when I saw their 3 headed journal log. Thanks guys.

in the other corner...the fire of youth

name: Jonathon
Weight: 170 morning
height: 69 inches
parallel squat: 320
bench: 220
deadlift: ? around 280 with perfect form

Measurements:
-will be taken soon-

GOALS:
squat over 340
deadlift over 340
bench 255
get a back that is extremely muscular and strong
increase my pushing strength
get my weight over 175 without creatine and stay relatively lean.
-after all is said and done, cut down to 8-10% body fat and keep the strength and start again.


OVERALL,
this is going to be mix of powerlifting, and bodybuilding. however, my side is going to tilt in the favor of more powerlifting, as i want to get my strength much higher instead of just trying to get my muscles huge. strength and power supercedes size for me as of now.
however, there will be some isolation and specific attention given towards some areas for the sake of building a desirable physique.

i am honored to have such a dedicated partner helping me achieve even more goals.
 
Hey PB,
1) Get stomach measurement as well b/c that is also a good indication of bodyfat. As your stomach grows so will your BF increases.

2)If you have the time bud, can you list the supplement that you normally use and / or use for that special day? I did not know that you are using creatine, which one - mono or CEE?
 
i will put up all measurements in my original post once i find my measuring tape xD

i dont take creatine now, i havent taken it for about a year now actually.
if i were to take it, i would take mono.

the only suppliment i take now is whey protein after my workouts, sometimes during as well if i go over 1 hour.
 
I was reading somewhere that the pre-workout meal is actually the most important meal. It's just food for thought and thier logic is that you want to be running on a full tank while lifting really heavy. If you can achieve heavy load atm, if you eat fully before (2 hours before and a fruit 20-30 minutes before) you can put out even more power.
