Hi GRR, welcome to the forums

Congrats on finishing the workout program.

I'm glad that you posted the link to that workout.

I'm not halfway through it yet.

Goal number 1:

Fit into the smallest pants that I own.

I wore these pants over 20 years ago and still have them.

A "like new" pair of Levi 501s

I haven't been able to fit into them for about 20 years.

Goal number 2:

Put on muscle while still being able to fit into the above pants.

Barbell Bench Press 315 pounds at least once.

Squat: 20 reps of 200 pounds by the end of Feb.

Deadlift: Not sure where I'm at with this, so I'll just say 400 pounds.

Be able to do multiple pullups, I can't do any right now.

I didn't make it until after 10 AM

Just spent some time on the treadmill

A)

On the weekend I don't set my alarm.

I usually wake up about 6 or 7 hours after I fall asleep.

B)

I think that I need less sleep now than my SAD days.

But I slept so poorly back then it's difficult to compare.

C)

I don't train nearly as hard as most people here.

Today is squat day, so I'll do at least that.

My gym closes at 8:00 tonight so I'll need to squat early.

After that, I'll probably just play a computer game or watch a movie.

BORING

I didn't do any treadmill this morning

Instead I did benchpress at noon.

I haven't benched in quite a while.

I used the machines for flat, incline and decline bench.

I'm really weak again.

Hopefully I did it right and will have sore pecs tomorrow.

Richard...that really looks like its from a porno.

 

... don't make me shine your head up with man juice

That sounds like it is from a porno.

Morning Treadmill: 70 minutes, 3 mph, 10 incline

Hi xMeXicox, welcome to the forums

That's alot of cardio .

 

What is your diet like?

 

Good luck with the weight loss.

I wish I had the drive to do more cardio.

In July and August I averaged 2.5 hours per day.

I try to be as raw as possible.

If it's cooked it is something like stir fry veggies or some rice.

 

I started that exercise a month ago. Next week is my last week on it. My five rep max at the beginning was at 150 (im a beginning squatter) so my first few squat days were really really easy.

 

Now that I only have 3 squat workout lefts, 140, 145, and 150 I am dying. Yesterday I am puked.

 

Fun times

I got the 20 rep idea from one of your posts.

I think that post got lost in the site crash.

I'm going to just keep going up 5 pounds every 3 days until I can't get 20 reps.

So far they've been easy, I can still do a few extra reps.

I'm going to try for 30 reps X 125 pounds tonight.

I'm doing these squats as deep as I can.

I only had time for 25 minutes on the treadmill this morning

I kept hitting the snooze button even though I wasn't tired.

Squat Night: 125# x 25 reps

60 minutes on treadmill after squats

40 minutes on the inclined treadmill this morning

60 minutes on the inclined treadmill this evening

2 bananas for breakfast.

80 minutes on inclined treadmill

Had family in town and went out of town for a few days for the holidays.

Tonight I did squats: 120# x 25

That's a great test result joel

2 years ago my total cholesterol was over 250.

Last summer I had it tested and it was 160.

I had 3 bananas 10 minutes before they drew blood this time.

I was donating blood and they didn't want me to be fasting.

My blood pressure is also higher than it should be.

I've still got quite a bit of excess fat to lose.

Fat loss is my primary goal right now.

I'm confident my numbers will end up where they should be.

I've had 2 milestones that were big days for me.

First was the day I benched 225 once.

Second was squatting the 45# bar 100 times.

My current goal is squatting 200# 20 times

2 bananas and an orange for breakfast

100 minutes on the inclined treadmill

3 bananas for breakfast

Morning Treadmill: 60 minutes, 3 mph, 10 incline

Tonight was squat night.

After a couple warmup sets I did 115 x 25

I did an extra 5 again this workout.

One step closer to 200 x 20

Hi preacher, welcome to the forums.

What do you eat? It is nearly impossible to not get enough protein.

Hi TriRooster, welcome to the forums

Hi luvegan, welcome to the forums

2 bananas and off to the gym.

Morning treadmill: 30 minutes, 3 mph, 12 incline

I overslept a little bit, kept pushing the snooze, so I raised the incline a bit.

I think the coffee is out of my system now, gotta keep it that way.
