Oh well, from here on, we're gonna be goin up!

[Preston]

Things can get to some people more than others. I sit here, thinking about how I'm going to get rid of this horrible headache. I can't think of anything that would make my head not hurt.

" You don't know me. You don't wear my chains. "

I don't know many people who've put forth the effort that I've within the past year, and they don't know what it's like to have to put your body through this pain of a reduced calorie intake of only 1200. Yeah, go from eating around 5,000 down to 1,200, and see what happends to your brain. Depression, you go through withdrawls, your body craves what it doesn't need, but what it wants most. Disgusting, nasty, greasy food.

Fuck you and your double standards.

You aren't me, and I thank God I'm not even close to being you.

End of.

Haha. Yeah, I laugh in your fucking face. I love this, I love how you told me so many times that can't do this, or what I'm attempting to accomplish is too far out to reach. " Your goals are too extreme and you've set the bar so high, and you're only 5'9 Preston. " Oh, well fuck you, because I got some mad hopps, and I plan on shattering this goal, and making a name for myself in this place.

I will become someone, I will be great, and I will overcome all obstocles in my way. I will shed blood, I will take names, and I will bury you into the mother fucking ground. I have so much to prove myself, prove to myself my limits, my extremes on what I can do. Every day I increase weight on that bar, every single day, and damn does it feel good.

I got this bro who's name on here is rcrott1. Mother fucker is pretty much the craziest guy I know, and when he speaks of killing, you should hide in a fucking bunker [ for real ]. I've never seen someone with so much heart, and who's spilled every ounce of blood into something they love. I'm glad to of found this guy; man has some amazing guidance words.

Every day is the same, and for some reason I don't get sick of it, and this is something I love. I've finally found something that I love, that I can't get enough of, and I don't plan on leaving this life. Try and rip me of my place here?

I'll bury you mother fucker, bury you into the ground.

Live strong [ LIFT ] stronger.

Brother, I'm right there with you. This epidemic, as Schak called it, is something you never want to let go of. So don't. Keep trudging through the shit to find the diamonds in the weight room.

[Preston]

Hell yeah man, day in day out. No slips, no misses, nothing but perfection. It's the only thing I'll take, perfection.

[Preston]

Yeah, here we go baby, this is gonna be a fuckin bitch, but I'm ready for the muscle.


Let's do this shit.

[ghost]

im right here with you brother. you know you can call if you need the Animal.


Strength and Honor.

[Preston]

I've never felt so ...energized before, seriously, never. All this food I'm allowing my body to have, it's such a blessing, because the reverse effects are just tremendous! I have all this extra energy from all of the carbs, and my body can withstain more force, I've increased 5-10lbs on all of my lifts. For only doing this for 3 days, it's immense how my body can adapt to certain things. I mean, if I lost 90+ lbs in a year, what the fuck am I giong to look like after two 8 week cycles of bulking?!


I'm so fucking stoked, I'm almost shaking. Yeah, this is gonna be good.


-Preston

[Preston]

you know you can call if you need the Animal.

Yeah, for a fucking hitman.

Hahaha, you're great bro, thanks for the support, but of course, wouldn't expect any less outta you. :]

[Preston]

I know that the scale doesn't technically matter all too much in bodybuilding, because the whole thing with bodybuilding, is how you look. The scale could read 190, but you could look a good 205. Either way, weight has been a big issue for me, and I've depended upon the scale for the past year to get down to 170lbs. Today I stepped on the scale, usually weighing only 170-171 and I weighed in at 173.5lbs, I am bulking but is this a usual gain in weight? I'm keeping up with my cardio, but could this be because my body is storing it in fat instead? If I have to switch to two-a-days just say so.


SOMEONE FUCKING RESPOND

-Preston

[Preston]

The past week of bulking has went really well, and havn't missed any meals, and haven't thrown up once. * applause *

Anyways. . .

Ok, so my diet has changed drastically from only 2750 calories to around 5500 a day. The one thing I'm struggling with most, is how MUCH other shit I need. I said need, not what I want, what my body needs to grow.

How much protein, carbohydrates, fats, fiber, you know, the good shit.

Right now I'm getting around 60-70g of protein a meal and about 40 carbs. If this is lopsided, someone let me know. I'm used to carb cycling, so I'm kind of scared to let myself go on the carbs, but I'll pound as much protein back as I need. Either way, my muscles are harder, fuller, and tighter than they have ever been.

. . . . I must be doing something right :-P

-Preston

[Angst]

Keep going bro, don't get too carried away with what the scale says. I think you may need more carbs per meal if ur on a bulk.

[Preston]

Hey thank bro, I'll keep that in mind.

[Grantski]

Wow brother looking great.....keep this shit coming

[Preston]

I had an intense day today,I did some intense back work, and haven't EVER lifted as hard as I did today. This may not seem a whole lot to you, but I lost a whole lot of strength doing all my cardio to get my weight down, and I'm attempting to bulk back up, nah, not attempting I AM bulking. This is what I did today.

Bent over rows-155lbs
Straight legg deads-250lbs
Db rows- 100lbs x 10 @ 4 sets ( seriously, balls to the walls )
Seated rows- 150lbs x 10 @ 4 sets ( ok, my balls were in the throat right then )
Lat pulldowns (behind neck) -112.5lbs x 10 @ 4
Lat pulldowns (infront of chest) -112.5lbs x 10 @ 4
Close grip lat pulldowns ( ..I don't know the offical name of the lift, but you take the v shaped handle for the seated row machine, ya, those ;] ) 137.5 x 10 @ 4

Oh yeah, and for fun, threw in some abs! sat down through 3 tracks of music doin crunches with my leggs in the air, crossed, indian style. Yah, that's a fuckin killer lower ab excersize! Then i went on the oblique machine and did 40 turns on both sides, at 70lb resistance. Either way, this thing gives you the BEST line on each side of your abs, it's intense. Plus, it gives you that....that ab "plate" look to ya. Then I went on ...I don't know what you call it, but you put your leggs against it, and you bend over and lift yourself back up...usually you grab a medicine ball or whatever? Ok, well I grabbed a 45 and did 20reps @ 4 sets. Went back and forth through the obliques training...that'll bust your balls.

Had one hell of a day guys, hope you all had a good day in the gym too.

Stay strong!

-Preston

[Angst]

Nice workout bro, but I think the striaght legged deads are more for your hamstrings than for your back. I like to do either full deads or rack pulls. Also I'm not sure if you need that many sets for back, but if it works for you, then stick with it. I usually like to do 2 pull down movements and 2 rowing movements plus deads. Again, everybody's different, do what works best for you.

[Preston]

Oh no man, I love your advice, I don't have any idea what I'm doing to be honest. I just....do whatever makes me feel like I've completed something.

Oh, and some more honesty, I was damn sure that straight legg deads were for your back? So...I'm def. in the wrong, what out of all that should I do then? I mean, if I want a good v-taper then how am I going to get that without the lat pulls? Just curious man, I have lots of questions.

[Grantski]

Preston if u want the v taper you gotta do chins till you drop brother...they re great for your back...keep those rows in there as well as deadlift. also your shoulders play a big part in the v taper so make sure you trash them as well...other then that eat,eat,train, eat, eat, rest, repeat.

[Preston]

Hey t hanks brother, any kind of words of wisdom are much appreciated. I'm tryin to keep my waist small with all this food I'm mowin down...and for some reason, this is making me give you this question. Is it possible, on a bulking diet, to still lose fat in your stomach and obliques? Because I seem to be tightning up on my sides and on my lower abs, I'm keepin up with my ab excersizes to keep a small waist, but...never thought I'd lose fat too?

Does this make sense to anyone?
