The "Slingshot Training System" 8 week mass gain program. With weekly progress pics!

Off day today. I love just sitting back on my recliner all sore, feels great.

I am savoring every moment of the last 2 months of college, after college is done I'll have to work for about 50 years straight :(

I gotta win the lottery....

Yeah, your right man. Hopefully I will find a job that I like.

And yeah... at least I can work out and play video games!
 
A milestone in my life, 15 inch arms!

I have been waiting for this day for a long time. I was lifting and could tell that I have been getting bigger, I got home and measured my arms and they were 15 inches! Here is a picture! I am so excited!

Everything is going great with this program..! such awesome intense workouts, I love it.

I changed a lot of things so I am not sure what is mostly responsible for the gains I have been making.

I started drinking 3 cups of milk with my PWO shake, started NO Shotgun, and also obviously changed my program drastically. Not sure what is mostly responsibile for the gains...


Anyway! Awesome workout today, huge pump, made lots of increases in my lifts, felt great.


Seated Incline DB curls:
35 X 10
40 X 3 (left arm died, right could have done more reps) 35 X 5
35 X 7 (left arm died again..)
30 X 8

Was pumped up a lot after this!

Preacher Curls with Twisty bar:
twisty bar plus 25 on each side X 8 (all I had)
twisty bar plus 25 on each side X 9 (used momentum on last rep)
twisty bar plus 25 on each side X 8
twisty bar plus 25 on each side X 7

All sets were done to good failure.

DB hammer curls:
35's X 5 (man was so tired starting out)
35's X 4 30 X 2 (wow, was beat)
25 X 11 (my left arm was really dying out, my right arm could have done many more reps)

One hell of a bicep workout!

Lying Tricep Extensions:
Twisty bar plus 25's on each side X 10 (was pretty easy!)
twisty bar plus 27.5 on each side X 8 (perfect)
twisty bar plus 27.5 on each side X 8
twisty bar plus 27.5 on each side X 7
twisty bar plus 25 on each side X 7 (out of gas)

Tricep Pressdowns (cable machine):
120 X 7 (failed on rep 8
120 X 8 (failed on rep 9
120 X 10
120 X 10 (very slow and concentrated reps, focused on feeling the muscle contract)
120 X 10 (same as above)


One hell of an arm workout, huge pump, just felt awesome..... love it.

Came home and had 1.5 scoops of whey, 3 cups of skim milk, 6 servings of dextrose, one banana, 1 BCAA serving and 10g creatine.

Congratulations on the 15 inch mile stone, i am looking forward to that day for myself
What phase of the program are you currently in?
 
I have another deadlift video where I am lifting a heavier weight. Never lifted this heavy before, but it's maybe a 4-8 rep max?

How's the form?
 
looks pretty good. the only thing i could suggest is to try to keep the chest up a bit more/not lean over as much at the beginning part of the pull. and i wouldnt hyperextend at the top of the pull. just stand up.

you have huge pecs!
 
RWS created an inside motivational CLINCH, and when he FLINCHED BANG!--- in a PINCH the arm became a 15 INCH! Man, wasnt this a CINCH! YES! :) :beerchug:
:D

Congrats young man! Stand with the self.

Do not QUIVER if it gets tough in the personal RIVER--STAND AND DELIVER! And, your body will be the GIVER!

OH! And, one more thing:

ROCK YOURSELF! :)

Best regards,

Chillen

Thanks for that advice PB, I think your right, keeping the chest up would also prevent my back from rounding as much.

I got a Chillen rhyme! hah, I have been looking forward to my first one :D

Thanks Chillen!
 
Somebody at the weight room stole my water bottle and workout journal today!

I went to the bathroom when I got to the gym and left my notebook and plastic water bottle on a table.

When I got out of the bathroom my water bottle had disappeared........ I thought maybe I had left it in the car.

So I left my shoes and notebook on that table and ran out to my car.... when I got back my notebook was gone!!!

I went and asked some security guards that were sitting nearby and they said there was some kids running around that might have taken it..... grrrr!

I am lucky I have been tracking my workouts online too!

Thanks man, and hell yeah! I can't wait to get in there and squat again!

Just an off day today, if it weren't for the central nervous system and overtraining I would work out every day....!

Glad to hear it worked for you too. Are you a beginner, intermediate, or advanced lifter? Like..... how long have you been lifting?

Just out of curiousity can you tell me what your routine was? And how many days per week?
