OK I have recently gotten serious in bodybuilding. To make my long story short. I got start this spring and got serious over the summer to loose my love handles so I could reveal my six pack. Although I got to a point where I have a four pack, I think I did a good decent job. It was terrible and was like hell on earth. I did High Intensity things like intervals and circuit trainings. One sample workout of min was:
Sprint(or run as fast as you can, but do not slow down)
Push ups
Squats
Do all for 60 sec. and going from one to the other without break and at the end take a 60 sec break.

Simple but hard. Now I am look to put on some mass. Last time I check I was around 136 and I think I might have gone up to 128 or 140 by now. My workout starts tomorrow on Sunday.It won't be all entertaining but I will post pictures so you can see my progress. So I hope you stick with me.

It's 9:53 PM right now and I am so fucking psyched. I just can't wait to get back into the gym. I have been switching routine way too many times now and I have finally decide to stick to a routine by AnimalPaks. Can't wait. Also I just had chicken breast with rice. Don't know how much. Just ate it.

Today's workout was not the one I had expected. My energy was low because I did not had breakfast until late 10:00 and I had a egg and bacon sandwich on wheat bread and some frnech fries with sour cream and onion and bacon peices which I had share and didn;t really ate the bacon peice on my shandwich because it only had one. And then I didn't have a pre-workout meal so that may have gotten me down.

hey, ray thanks for reading. i am bulking right now so i don't really track my calories or even track what i eat. i just eat every 2-3 hours. if you want a sample ok here's on for today

this morning I had some leftovers for protein but couldn't eat much and left for the bus

at school I drank a cup of milk with on scoop of whey

at lunch i had toca with french fries and an orange( the fries weren't that much, high school are very tight with food, they don't give you much, they measure how much fires they give you and all, can you believe that?)

then i had another whey shake with a couple of carrots from lunch.

at home i had some left over fish and an orange and then pop a few raisins

then i worked out my chest

they I had a chocoate candy and some sweet crunchy thing with whey

then my dad brunch home some porkchop(2) with rice and it had 1 tomatoes and some lettuce on the side
