I have just started doing this program this week and can already see a difference in my physique. My goal is to get to a lean 300 pounds. Today I am 241 pds. Would appreaciate all suggestions.
-
legs look improved alexxx
-
not bad but you should stay in time out longer still
-
suggestions? Decline flyes and bar dips with elbows out and feet in front. Also do reverse pec deck for posterior delts.
-
oh my god! your legs are hairier than mine! seriously though, looks like you made some improvement in your upper body. keep it up! ;)
-
decent legs, but it looks like your upper body is shrinking from picture to picture, cannot see that much if any improvement between now and the pictures from three years ago.
-
Thats because I used to be at around 5 % bodyfat with a 29 inch waist. I've pigged out i guess :-\
I am working on getting lean and muscular though.
-
you're already lean. get muscular for god's sake.

Working on it bro! 8)

Welcome back alexxx. You're definitely showing some improvement from the infamous "mensroom" shots ;D
The exercises in the routine are solid, with decent weights used. However, I cant workout how many sets are you doing per exercise? If your only doing 1-2 sets.. I don't think that is enough to stimulate decent growth.
Thank you brother! I am starting the in process of the routine that enabled me to achieve maximum muscle mass and strengh. I am going to try it for a month and keep track of all my measurements and decided if this Dorian style training is for me.
-
Goodluck with your training.
Thank you!
-
flawless! pm me some of your secrets when you have time.
-
I thought you were benching 315 for reps, now you're doing 275?
-

haha Thank you! You are a beast! So I am sure you get big no matter what. ;)
-

I went down after I got sick and also took up volume training. Now I am doing the routine that got me to the 315 pound bench.
-
I benched 275 for 3 reps, at a bodyweight 60lbs lighter than you, Mr. O.
-
haha Thank you! You are a beast! So I am sure you get big no matter what. ;)
true, but i want to try and diet down some. I might even start doing abs ;D
-
No need to train abs, they get worked enough indirectly.
-
I'm stronger than Alexxx on most of those lifts.
I'm a better built man than you Alexxx.
-
Ab work gets them thick and nice. Do it if you want to impress the ladies!
-

lol keep dreaming boy! That is just my in phase and won't last long! Soon I will be benching 4 plates!

The only thing I've never seen is your .....diet. If you weigh 241lbs then to just maintain your size you would need 241 grams of protein daily. If yo uwant to get f**king huge you need to up that to 361.5 to approx 450 grams of protein daily. That's a lot of protein bro! I drink about 160 grams of protein and the rest I get from solid food, but I'm only 208 lbs. At approx. 40-45 grams a shake, that's at least 4 shakes a day! Give us an idea of your diet.....and be honest so you can get a decent evaluation.
-
Here is what is a typical day for me:
meal 1: all mixed in blender driking raw
3 large eggs
100ml of eggwhites
60 grams of oatmeal
250 ml of 2% milk
250 ml or Orange/grapefruit/lemon juice
meal 2
tuna can
3 baked patatoes
1 cup of milk
meal 3: postworkout
2 scoops of whey -44g protein
1 banana
1/2 tea spoon of honey
meal 4:
Chiken breast
fried patatoes homemade
1 cup of milk
meal 5
handfull? of low fat beef
big boil soup/salad
1 cup of milk
meal 6
tuna can
1 cup of milk
1 piece of brocolie
1/2 tablespoon of peanut butter
I always wake up during the night to go to the bathroom so I take in another 22g of protein then with some olive oil.
Any advice, suggestions, modifications are welcome.
-
not nearly enough protein to really grow
-
I clowned on your English but your lifting program is not bad. I am assuming that you will add in an arm day. Moving on, I think you have a solid program. You might want to add in a little lower lat work, possibly low pulley rows. Possibly add one more thickness exercise. Your legs do look better. Hit your outer sweep more and as well as the inner calf. Your strength is not bad for being 20 (I think). Hit the dbell rear laterals a bit heavier.
When did you clown on my english >:( !! its cool I don't take anything seriously. I just started doing that machine pullovers in hopes of hitting the lower lats. Low pulley rows are cable rows right? I plan on adding another thickness exercise probably tbar rows or dumbells. Thanks for all the tips!
-
not nearly enough protein to really grow
SO I should eat 4 cans of tuna a day instead?
-
Ya, cable rows. I like dbells and t-bars alot. I can do 6 plates on the T-bar for reps and I get a crazy pump from them, sometimes more than barbell rows. Even though I only use the 115's on dbell rows I feel it alot and the next day is hell on my lats. I used to eat four cans of tuna a day, it's tough but if you want give it a try.
Interesting thanks. I'm a little worried about the mercury content in it though... its yellowfin tuna so maybe it is ok..
Also should I up my egg intake a day to say 6 raw?
-
So you ate 4 cans of tuna a day every day?
I don't get anything from raw eggs plus they are large eggs which is 7 g per egg so I'll keep it up!

Protein is too low. My estimation is rough because you have no weight values, but I would say you're taking in approx. 280 grams of protein by the looks of it. At that rate you might gain 1-5 lbs a year.

Actually for "lower" lats do A or V bar pulldowns. You replace the long bar with an A or V bar, keep elbows in and pull to the top of the chest. Make sure you "pull" with your back and not your bi's.
-
His protein is fine.
There is no need to take in more than what he is taking. You cannot force natural gains by simply adding more protein. He won`t see any difference if he decides to get 350 plus grams of protein. He will just see a waste of money.

Yes!
The problem is his crappy genetics.
-
Meh... legs lookin good, the rest is not bad.
-
Thanks! Yesterday for my last two meals I stuffed myself with chiken and steak and today I feel like my shoulders alone gained 5 pounds each. :)

Take it easy Alexxx, I think you are on the verge of being "too big"....

I had to get rid of evil Alexxx... ;D
-
haha what really happened was that he got in trouble with the mods for acting too ignant. anyway alexxx put up a back lat spread and back double bi. but i still think you should get more lower pec sweep.
-
oh my bad you did put a back double bi. well the back needs the most work of the bodyparts
-
IMO... some cleans would bring up your delts. I would try hanging cleans 10 reps for 3 sets. Did wonders for my shoulders.

In my opinion, and please dont take this the wrong as you know I am a member of TEAM ALEXXX- THE NEXT MR O.
I think you would be best served to 1/2 the amount of the exercises and doing at least three sets per exercises. The workout you are doing is loosely based on mentzer and yates... Which they had done much later in their bodybuilding careers, they wouldnt have built their mass on that type of program. Also, with your current conditioning and the objectives you are trying to acheive,for you- running on the treadmill is a waste of time.
Thanks for the suggestions but like i said I am trying this program out. I made the best gains on it. 20 pounds in two months and already feel bigger and stronger from it. I am going to continue this program until I reach my plateau. Also I am not doing hard cardio. I keep my hart rate at 130 beats per minute and am usually walking and climbing. Thanks for you input.

money is tight right now..
Goudy seems like he made great strides even with minimum nutrition.

I found that doubling my protein (per pound of bodyweight) is ideal for growth, I also don't need a lot of carbs. This is how my body reacts, and it may not be the same for you. I suggest you try different diets to find out what works for you. If you're tight on money, grab a 10lb bag of Optimin Whey from BB.com, DPS, etc. Should only cost you about 60/65 bucks shipped, taste doesn't get old, and will last you a while. You save money buying 10lbs at a time. I mix a shake with almost every meal I eat.

**edit - I forgot you're in Canada, might be a bit more but it's still cheaper to buy bulk.

50 bucks for 5 pounds seems kind of steep, you could double that for about the same price. As for getting billed twice, you sure you didn't hit the "submit" button twice when making a purchase? People do that all the time. Personally, I've never had a problem with BB.com, DPS, or netrition.
-
umm no I don't think I hit it twice.. I paid bb.com for shipping and sups but then I received another bill for shipping from fedex. So I beware now. :-\

Did you get your money back? I would call them and have them refund what they owe you.

That sucks. I have ordered a lot from them and never had a problem, I use them cause they get me my stuff in a day. Anyway, you should look into it no matter where you buy it. You can save a lot of money buying in bulk.

Alexx you belong on bb.com

i realize alexxx is serious about bodybuilding now because he'd rather spend money on 3 more pounds of ground beef and opt for the 6-pack of Kirkland boxers at costco (with only a slight variation in color or pattern between them) than get something which the ladies might enjoy. no matter if it looks like you never change your boxers.
i salute you for your abstinence and unimpeded quest to be Mr. O

Looking good!! better than a few other pics I saw in the past. Dont worry about body fat you wont gain much if your hitting it hard.eat dude and lots of protein. Traps and shoulders need some work though still. Dont bother abs maybe once a week just crunches. Abs do get worked a lot. I do abs once a week and mine have great def and can see the six pack at a weight of 240.
Keep up the work bro

Thanks bro! Its summertime now is I should be losing what fat I do have. Just started training traps again nothing major because deadlifts hit it pretty hard. I am steadily going up on my military presses so hopefully shoulders will catch up. I always had abs even before I started training but I like to train them to keep them tight. Thanks again for your honest criticism.

I have just started doing this program this week and can already see a difference in my physique. My goal is to get to a lean 300 pounds. Today I am 241 pds. Would appreaciate all suggestions.
You sir are an idiot. If you want to to be 300 lean, then you need to be like 325 off season. Not happening.
-
not bad alexxx you look much better now
-
might i suggest you dont do cardio after your workouts. you will gain much more mass this way...if i were you- it doesnt look like you have the kind of genes to put on fat real easily- id drop all cardio and just eat really clean. if you must do cardio, id do it on a seperate day than lifting.
i suggested this for my friend, he dropped all cardio for a while, his gains went thru the roof and hes just as lean as before.

Well during the summer I get lean regardless of cardio or not. I just started doing volume training again and am sweating like crazy I am wet all over and I still do cardio for just 20 min. But yeah I might just keep training instead and will burn just as much if not more. Thanks.

Gang bang with your boyfriend's pals 6 times a week, sweating like a pig under several thousand pounds of flesh, that's not "volume training" Alexx, but I can't blame you, that's what you learned from your mother, you're a good son alexx ::)

Considering your physique I can assure you there is a looooooooooooong way to go.
