Video of day 1 of 20 rep squats. (not logged here)

My camera's stupid and won't record more than 40 seconds at a time. By the time it saved the first clip and my buddy started recording again, I was racking the weight, so unfortunately I only have 14 reps on video. I'll get a good phone camera to record on for the next big milestone so I can actually get the whole things. For now, here's day 1:

4/5/2012:

195x20 today on squats. Wussed out on the last set of pullups/dips/situps because I was just about to puke. Didn't feel like dumping my food after a workout today. haha

On a side note: my dips were 16 reps, and pullups were each 8 reps... so technically I was still going to do better than Wednesday on that... I still pussied out though. D:

7/5/2012:

Failed on 15th rep of squats @ 200lbs. Said screw that after a few seconds out from under the weight. Squatted it out of bottom position from the safety pins, then finished the rest of the 20 reps. It was a PR, even at 15 reps sooo....  :personal-record:

Pullups S1: 3x8
Dips S1: 3x16
Incline situps S1: 3x15

Also, all of this.

Legs getting slightly bigger. Yes? No? Okay. No.



Damn genetics still have me cursed with low, narrow, slanted shoulders. Oh, well.




Aaaaaand the one I like most.

I got a sweet new phone with a very nice camera on it. I'll be recording more often now. (Without cutoffs at 40 seconds like on my stupid digital camera...)

1st set wasn't filmed. This was yesterday. (I'm hoping it actually shows in HD so I don't have to reupload later)

Next vid coming up is the 70lb dumbbell bench presses. That one was recorded in fairly low quality (forgot to turn up settings on my phone when I first recorded it.

This was from Monday. Gymn stuff was on... Friday the 18th? Yeah.

Dumbbell press was definitely a PR. 70s were coming up fairly easy. Most I've managed before is a single set of 5 and they barely came up.

Thanks, man. I appreciate it.


As a journal entry (sort of): Back full time on Scrawny to Brawny. This time with actual dedication, and uncomfortable amounts of food day in, day out. (Very different from before. I've gained 5 pounds since last Monday. (Didn't care to mention it then, because I know I'm easily hyped and sometimes I don't follow through with things)

Anyway... that's sorta cool I guess. 5 more pounds ain't bad.

You have crazy strength endurance.  Have you considered running the 200m?  What's your max single squat?  I'm pretty sure I couldn't do 195x20 on squats... And my max front/back squats are 350/420.

I did 200x20 in the past but used half squats.

Max single squat something like 2 months ago was that 265 I had on video. Haven't tested in a while. It's probably closer to 280 or more now, but I've also gained weight like I want.

I was in track for all 4 years of high school. Never really fast enough to get ridiculously far, though I do seriously regret not making the 200m one of my main events. I've always felt like it could have been my most competitive event, but I always enjoyed the hurdles more.

I am still considering doing some track base stuff, but it'll have to wait. Definitely won't be a college runner though. As a music major, my schedule would too conflicting and I'd never manage to keep up in either. (I barely manage as it is)

Currently the plan is to gain tons of weight over the summer. Hit 175, by the end of September or thereabouts, then maintain weight and start leaning out tons more and doing more sprint related things while I'm in school. After which I might go to a few open meets at my university just for kicks (even though I'll get my ass handed to me), then probably compete in the Utah summer games for fun next summer.

Muscles are nonsensical they have nothing to do with this bullshit.

Right on. They're pretty fun. I don't think I have any long term goals aside from weight gain right now. Other things are coming little by little just because I'm just enjoying myself and not getting worried about them. Even the weight gain has made more progress in the last 2 weeks than it did all of spring semester during schools just because I'm not burning so many calories getting from place to place, playing my trumpet, and not having enough time to eat. I'm enjoying summer so far.
