well I ended up getting in a fight with a dumpster today, and the cut on my shin was just shy of needing stitches, so I wont be doing any lower body work for a little while. shouldnt take more than 7 days to get back to be able to do legs again, but I need to take at least the remainder of this week off from lower body.

Gawd brother!..I've never seen a journal quite as boring like this before! It's like watching something in black and white.

So how's the program coming?..Too hard/easy?..Have you weighed yourself lately?..Increase or decrease? ect..

haha my bad. well I havent had a chance to weight myself lately. but I'm definitly noticing size increase, mainly back and shoulders. I definitly like the pace and difficultly level of the program. I'm expecting to see even more results later on towards the last 4-6 rep cycle

Cool. I personally grew best with the 4-6 reps myself.

How's the diet? Have you been keeping track? The diet will make or break your gains.

I havent been keeping any record of it, but I'm mainly trying to eat as much as I can all the time. Doing my best to focus on protein of course, but I'm still keeping as much grains/pasta, fruits and veggies in there too. havent been cutting out fats either.

this is from yesterday:

A3


A2G squats: 2x9x160 (went up 5 lbs)
leg curls: 1x10x220 (need to go heavier)
flat bench press: 2x9x155
incline dumbell press: 1x10x140
side laterals: 1x8x25
skullcrushers: 1x8x85
chinups: 2x9,8
wide g. rows: 2x10x115 (I'll probably go to 120 or 125 next time)

I cut out preacher curls today because the all the pulls I had done already had felt really solid and I didnt feel like I needed to hit the biceps alone.

I'm also definitly seeing my lats getting wider and thicker since the start of the 8-10 rep cycle.

this is from two days ago, on tuesday:

B3
deadlift: 2x9x275
leg extensions: 1x10x259 <- the machine is maxed out, not good
leg curls: 1x10x230 <-went up 10 lbs
incline barbell: 2x8x150
flat dumbell bench: 1x8x160 <- jumped from 140 to 160 because there arent any 75 lb dumbells, but it worked out well
front raises: 1x10x20
rev. grip pressdowns: 1x8x70
wide grip pullups: 2x8,7
incline curls: 2x8x40
wrist curls

I'm still working on getting my forearms bigger but nothin seems to have much of an effect on them.
I've noticed my diet hasn't been very well designed because in order to take in as many calories as I can, a lot of times it ends up being sort-of junky food. I'm replacing those things in my diet with more fruits and veggies.

This completes the 2nd full week of the 8-10 rep cycle. I'll probably go another full week to a week and 1/2.
