I figure this may help me keep up my current routine. Plan on updating about every week or when I make decent progress in either body weight or weight lifted.

Always been skinny but athletic. Got sick last year with a viral infection, got out and back into good health and decided to hit the gym hard. Started in November at 148lbs. Gym routine went basicly the same till recently.

Day 1- Chest and Tri's
4 sets Dumbbell press 10-12 reps
3-4 sets flat bench press 10-12 reps
3 sets incline or decline 10-12 reps
3 sets cable crossovers
3-4 sets tricep extentions
3-4 sets cable pull downs

Day 2- Back and Bi's
4 sets deadlift 10-5 reps or failure
4 sets front then rear lat pulldowns 10 reps
4 sets rows 10 reps
4 sets 21 curls
3 sets preacher curls 10-12

Day 3- Legs

5 sets leg extentions 10 reps
4 sets deep squats 8-10 reps
4 sets leg press 8-10 reps
5 sets calve extentions 10-15 reps

Would take one day off and back on for 3. No cardio, no supplements of any kind. Meals consist of a decent breakfast and 5-6 meals after. I don't do the same routine every week, I always mix it up to "shock" the muscle by maybe doing bi's on chest day, or legs after only a upper back day.

As of last week I maxed my weight at 201lbs, fell back to 199 this evening at the gym so a gain since November of 51lbs. Will have some before and after pics soon along with the updates

nsxmatt · 07-20-2008, 08:35 PM

Did back yesterday and legs today. Left acl started bothering me again so no squats this time so cut the day short. Did take a picture of my current back progress. Yes I know my lats are lacking, not because of lack of effort though

Glad i'm getting advice from a freakin GIANT! good shit man

Ricey McRicerton · 07-23-2008, 03:48 AM

Looking way thick! I've never been able to pull off a lat spread and have it look good.

nsxmatt · 07-23-2008, 10:33 AM

Thanks! Still trying to work on the upper lats but it's slowly getting there!

Evill Supra · 07-23-2008, 10:42 PM

that picture is not only beastly, but even from a photography standpoint its powerful.

nsxmatt · 07-27-2008, 03:00 PM

Took 3 days off doing anything to go to Import Alliance. Lost 4lbs being out in the sun all weekend. Back to the gym later tonight...

nsxmatt · 07-31-2008, 12:54 PM

Did back and chest and hitting legs tonight. No gains in any lifts yet. Going to attempt a 500lb dead next week maybe this weekend so we'll see.

You'll get it. Its a good feelign to have 5plates on each side and well a little 2.5.

nsxmatt · 08-06-2008, 08:09 AM

I hope so! I've done a 495 rack lift, but just want to do the dead just to say I did 500

Then go back to my 405 and 455 regular sets

Did back and chest, nothing new just yet. Pulled my right inner bi on concentration curls so may give it a few more days rest before doing biceps again.

i think rack lifts are harder then regular deads.

You should get it no problem.

nsxmatt · 08-13-2008, 05:28 AM

Have been off for 5 days now with a pulled lower right lat. Going back to chest and tri's tonight and see how I feel.

nsxmatt · 08-14-2008, 08:30 AM

Went back to the gym after 5 days off. All my lifts felt stronger, and a big plus my back felt great. Shoulder began to bother me again in the cuff on inclines but I worked through it and got a good workout in

Back to bulking and heavy lifting starting tomorrow! Gonna try to get to 210 in 8 weeks.

nsxmatt · 08-20-2008, 08:33 PM

500 lb deadlift 1st try. Seemed too easy.

Drifterxs12 · 08-21-2008, 11:18 AM

crazy weights man! Great job!

nsxmatt · 08-21-2008, 12:30 PM

Thanks! I reached my goal, now I don't know what to do. Maybe work on a 400lb bench next and a 500lb squat
