No more excuses, no more bullshit. Im responsible for my own failures and my own successes. In the past I've always had an excuse, a scapegoat... Now it's time to step up and make this happen. I've struggled with some health issues my whole life, but now I'm ready to fight back and be above them. So, I hope you come along for the ride. Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to hell, wipe your shoes at the door.

Some stats for your reading pleasure...
19 years old, 5'6, 165 pounds. 10% bf.
Chest:42 inches
Arms: 15.5 inches
Waist: 30 inches
Thighs: 23.5 inches
Calves: 16 inches

My diet has been poor lately, but Im working on something now.
My training is 5 days a week:
Sunday:Chest
Tuesday:Arms
Thursday:Shoulders
Friday:Back
Saturday: Legs

I have long term goals... I want to compete, I have so much drive to put into something and this is a perfect opportunity for that. Some smaller goals tho, I want to get wider and thicker while keeping my body fat and waist down as much as I can.

This is one area that I've always been bad with, but what I have laid out seems fairly straight forward.
1. 6 whole eggs, 1 cup of oats, milk.
2. 48g whey in milk, 1 table spoon Udo's oil.
3. 8 oz chicken or beef, bread or rice, milk
4. Same as 2
5. Same as 3
6. 48g casein in milk, handful of nuts

In 3 and 5 Im aiming for around 50g of carbs.

Looking good, TBG. I've struggled with diet as well in the past. Sounds like you've got a good weight going for your height though. How much weight are you looking to put on the in the coming months?

Right now Im looking to only add a few pounds without gaining a lot of body fat. Im going away soon and I like to look my best. That said, when I come home I'm looking to hit 180 before September.

Looking good brotha. Diet is always the worst and hardest thing to get down. I remember going thru college at probably pretty close to your sizes, and just eating whatever. Now that my diet is in check, and my supps are on par, growth is no longer an issue my friend. Keep pushing.

Done. Im epic pissed off, my friend has decided to start dating my ex girlfriend who i broke up with a week ago. Now, she wasn't for me, but you still dont to that to a bro. I've been using that to keep me good and pissed off.

Pretty jacked about the flat bench. I can count the number of workouts Ive tried flat bench on 2 hands and 165x3 seems to be pretty good for me.
