mitbar's 4 week JW journal

mitbar · 04-11-2008, 10:30 PM

This coming monday i will begin my 4 week journal through the jungle of war....ok that was kinda cheesie. I will keep a update for all 5 days that i work out on my progresss and i will take measurments and weight before hand for comparison. I will keep up my caloric intake around 3000 if not more depending on my appetite....also i will be doing cardio 3-4 times a week for 20-30min along with my usual hardcore lifting. hopefully i can shred some body fat while building some lean muscle. this is what my stack will look like:

week 1-4 JW 3 caps (tentative)
already started CREATINE MONO
" " BCAA's
" " WHEY PROTEIN
" " Casein Protein

Possibly after:(another 4 weeks)
6oxo
NO2
Creatine MONO
Whey
Casein

Cant freaking wait to start up, look forward to updating you all.

So didnt go to the gym today or get my measurments done today due to the fact that my dog is extremely sick and woke up at 5 in the morning puking like a mofo and will barely move...so due to the fact that he is like my child i stayed home this morning but will be hitting it tomorrow. I have started to take my jungle warfare today just to get the ball rolling. cant wait to hit the gym tomorrow.

yeah sorry to hear about the dig but you cant cut and build at the same time you maintain when you are cutting its one or the other not both

OK so today was day one at the gym while taking my JW. Today i did chest and it was a good work out considering the none sleep i got cause i found out my dog has pancriatits (spellling probably off). But for day one i cant wait for the rest of the cycle to see what happens. THe pump was insane (a little more than usual) and i was pushing really focused during the set but thinking of the dog inbetween. So here is what i did today:

Flat bench (3wide) (3shoulder width) 3-225lbs 2-180 1-135
Decline 4 sets 4-185lbs
Incline 4 sets 4-185lbs
flys (3 flat) (3 45degree angle) 3-35 lbs 3-25lbs
cable pulls (3 lower) (3 upper) 2-50lbs 1-40lbs 3-60lbs

came home and immediatly took my whey and some more creatine...next is my prework meal and then off to crappy work. thanks for all the concern with the dog bros. also i am not hopeing to cut and bulk at the same time just want to build up and maybe loose some fat in the process. just some wishful thinking.

i read your log yesterday im just checkin back to see how he is. i dont know if thats good or bad. dont you have to get your pacreaus out if you have that? any way good to see you got a bit of gym time in. best of luck to both of you!

It'd be nice to see the weights, reps and sets for your workouts.

Islander is right, it's either bulk or cut. Granted you can lose fat on a bulk but I think you have to cycle between cutting and bulking phases. I'm in a cut too. I don't see any cardio in your workouts??

**Frag Hag** · 04-15-2008, 09:55 PM

If you're new to lifting, newbie gains can allow you to lose fat and build muscle at the same time. If you're not, though, it's usually just one or the other.

Sorry to hear about your dog. I know that constantly worried feeling! :( I just recently lost a pet and i'm really bummed out. Hope he gets better soon!

ok so my dog gets to come home tonight and then back to the vet tomorrow. as far as my work outs go i will start to post weight and reps....as far as cardio i just started so i didnt do any cardio today mainly cause of my dog and lack of time. But i will be doing cardio tomorrow and then friday for 30 min. As far as loosing fat and bulking up at the same time i am dreaming i know and now regret even posting my hope....i am not a newb i have been lifting for 8 solid years and just started to play with the test boosters and what not.

a little stats for me:
6'1"
220 lbs
17.5 in arms
44 in chest
18 in neck

havent measured legs and calfs yet. will get those done soon. thanks for all the dog concern and support. peace out bros and gals.

ok so i edited my last post with the weights that i did. hope that works better plus thats a great way for me to see the progress along the way...thanks for the idea bro. have a great night. Still know i cant loose much fat but hoping.

**Frag Hag** · 04-15-2008, 11:17 PM

No need to regret it, there's no harm in hoping. If it's any consolation, if your bulk is clean enough your bf% will technically go down because of the increase in lean mass. So you can still look leaner even without losing fat. I didn't know about the test boosters, they might also reduce bodyfat. I guess time will tell, but here's hoping for the best!

mitbar · 04-16-2008, 12:27 AM

thanks frag i appreciate all the confidence. i guess i was wording it wrong...u hit it right on the nose with the bf% going down. thanks again everyone. look forward to posting tomorrows work out after i drop the dog off at the vet for more meds.

So did back today and man what a work out...i was all over the weights and jacked to no extent even with little sleep last night from the dog. My diet is gonna be as clean as it usually is with little fat and low sugars....very high protein. Here is what i did today.

Wide lat pull downs
1 set warm up
2 sets 120lbs
1 set 140lbs (little bit of help from wife)
Bent over rows
1 set 135lbs
2 sets 185lbs
1 set 135lbs
Seated rows
1 set 60lbs
3 sets 80lbs
Close grip lat pulldowns
1 set 100lbs
3 sets 120 lbs
T bar
3 sets 315lbs

(all sets are 8-10reps)

as you can see i blasted my back during this workout. Right after my weights i went and did low intensity cardio on the optical for 10 min and then did HIIT for another 10 min. Lets just say that right now i am freaking wore out and may need a nap but it felt great. Tomorrow is arms day cant wait!!!!!!!
