Hey guys, I guess it's time to make a journal. I'm already using google calender to keep track of what I'm doing exercise wise, but I thought opening the door a little might give me abit more encouragement and not be so lonely with all this stuff.

At first, I was abit scared (yeah I'm a wussy..) about posting pics, because I'm always been self consious about my ribs. After exchanging a few PM's with the forever cool Chillen, kind of thought, why the **** not? And yes, I have wnky nipples, another thing I hate, but hey, what can I do about it? I'll get pics the right way up next time aswell lol.

Nope, and your not the first people to question my weight.

1/12/07 I was at 18.2 BMI and 16.5% BF. 2/1/08 I was 18.0 with 19.7% BF. Thats the mass going from 9.5kg fat to 11.3kg, but I lost 2lb off my overall body weight. I know I was eating too much junk food that month though. Plus I'm eating alot healthier at main evening meal, less chips etc.
 
In my gym, there's a machine upstairs that does all the blood pressure height weight and all that. Mind you though, it was a different machine than the one I used the first time. I used to one upstairs in the gym the first time, used the one downstairs in the changing rooms the second time.

I'll try the other machine tomorrow and see what that says.

Yeah I've been trying to gain weight for years. I'm not going half assed at certain areas in my body, Just my lower back isn't too strong atm, so I want to have my backstrength there before I start having big shoulders and stuff.

I think as you develop in overall body mass, your nipples of your chest, that you dont like, will likewise improve to satisfy your personal tastes. You are a very lean young man, and from what I see, you have some very good gentics that can develop with time and surpass your wildest dreams with hard work and dedication.

Personally, I think you need to develop a FBW and follow a careful diet that will allow you to put on some lean tissue mass. Take advantage of your youth and fantastic starting point through a proper FBW during the week; you wont be disappointed. Ensure you add squats and dead lifts in the mix and allow compound lifts to encircle your workout as the staple exercises.

I wish you the best of luck, Curtis. We are all here to support one another in our various goals. Hold your hand to your chest. Feel your heart beat. As long as it beats, you have what it takes to earn what you want in life and within fitness young man.


ROCK ON!

Be all you can be----and then some more.


Wish you the best.

I'd say you'd be best with a specific schedule to stick to each week. This has the advantage of making sure you're covering everything and best of all it allows you to track progress easily.

Do you have a target calorie intake? is a great site for tracking your calories

Good luck with the plan :)
 
I'd just like to say you are nowhere near 19% BF, way lower, you have very little fat on your body.

I'd definitly start off with a full body workout 3 times a week and start eating tons.
 
Just wanted to agree with what everyone else said:

- your bf% is definitely way lower

- FBWs

- good eating at 'bulk' level to put on more muscle mass

Definitely looking forward to seeing you grow!
 
Well, you guys are right..

BF% - 11.8%
BFM - 6.8kg

:eek:

I didn't hit free weights today, but I worked out my biceps for a bit with a barbell upstairs, I could hardly keep my arms straight by my sides by the time I'd done 5 sets of 8. Really tried hard today and I felt it tbo. Kind of felt good to feel the pain.

I'm going to start eating more, Waking up earlier so I have time for breakfast, eating an apple or something at 10 ish, lunch at 12, something when I get in at 3.30-4 and then tea at 6-7.

Anyone help me out with what to eat around 9-10? Should I be eating around that time? When I eat at 7 I have like a good sized meal with chicken/veg/salad/potatoes in there, but once I've ate that I'm not hungry, afew hours later though it's like I'm starving again. I really need something around that time IMO as if I don't find anything decent I'll be hitting the mars bars and chocolate muffins :(

Guess I'll be starting breakfast with some cereal.. bran flakes or what ever. I'll eat two apples at 10. Have my sandwich (which is like 7 inches in diameter bun) and find something I can have instead of 2 chocolate bars (snack size). Get home and have a plate of pasta maybe with some tuna or something. Then have my tea which is usaully a different meat everynight, potatoes and veg/salad. Then Find something to eat later on, don't really want to be cooking at that time though. I'm going to look into the diet and what I really don't want, I have an idea, but yeah.

Today was alright, I got a C in my english (I'm really really crap at english). Enjoyed going the gym. Decided I'm not going to drink anymore (I only drink afew times a month, but I'm better without it).

Another day down. :eek:
 
A good thing to do it eat nuts throughout the day, they are full of healthy fat and will give you the calories! Try not to go any longer than a couple of hours without food.

Also since your so lean, have you thought about getting a weight gain supplement, thsi will also help add the pounds on.

On your workout, did you say you did 5x8 on just biceps curls? If so i think thats too much for your biceps, they dont need lots of work....all of your 'pulling' exercises will work the biceps meaning working the back (lats) usually works the biceps aswell. With the curls, stick to 3 sets, or 4 sets with lower reps.

Good luck man :)
 
I did lats before I worked on my bi's. It's the first time I've really pushed that hard at them before though. Across the top of my shoulders, bi and pecs are like.. dammnn >_<

I want to stay off supplements really.
 
Date: 1/12 --> 12/1
Total Body Mass: 57.8kg --> 57.7kg
Body Fat Mass: 9.5kg --> 6.8kg

2.7kg fat mass lost. 2.6kg body weight kept. 2.6kg x 2.2 = 5.72lb

Does that mean I've put on 5.7lb of muscle mass since then?
 
Mmm... I mention one thing about bulking to my friends and there like.. "Ohh.. You need to stay inside and eat chocolate and crisps for a month and then go the gym.."

:rolleyes:

Pushes my motivation miles up in the sky and just makes me think, in a years time when they're saying I'm on steroids, I'll be happy.

Started a new diet a week ago, abit shabby to start atm though.

Meal 1:
An apple. (Yeh I suck..)

Meal 2:
3-4 bagels, maybe some fruit. Try to get some which has minimal butter on, but school sucks.

Meal 3:
Chicken sandwich
Pork sandwich
3 rounds of bread
2 apples

Meal 4:
Plate of pasta with 1/2 tins of tuna.

Meal 5:
Pork/gammon/steak... a different meat everday
2-3 jacket potatoes
Pile of carrots/cucumber etc

Have 3-4 pints of semi skinned (not sure if that's the best stuff to have) milk inbetween along with a few litres of orange juice and 1/2 sports drinks.

Still getting hungry about 9-10 a night though. I feel like it's amazingly health compared to my up-to 10 Mars Bar a day eating with loads of packets of crisps and nothing until lunch, then nothing to 7-8 at night.

Trying to get brown rice/ nuts/ eggs in there somewhere next week.
