5 year bulk plan says I'll cut out next year
Weighed myself today, 167lbs.
Squats
235x20
25x20 pullovers
205 3x10 bench
25x20 pullovers
185 3x12 bent over rows
25x20 pullovers
185 3x10 straight leg deads
Was without a doubt the most soul crushing workout I have ever done. I couldnt think of anything other than pain. First 10 were not much trouble and took about 1 minute tops, last 10 took at least 2.5 minutes. They all went up. think i might have cried after setting the bar down.
The second worst part about it is putting the bar back. I guess I never described it before but on the ship we dont have a squat rack, we have a bench. The top pins are just high enough to sit on the bench facing the bar and get your head under it, then straighten up, stand up, and take 4-5 steps back off the bench. Which means I have to do all that in reverse to put it back. It sucks but it works. I would never try big weights in this method, fortunately we only have 275lbs worth of weight.

Thanks Albert I decided to slow down from 5lb to 2.5lb increments for squats and 10lbs to 5lbs for deadlifts.
Talk to wolf
. Just a good quality protein mix and some vitamins will help out. Skip all the "get huge fast" stuff..

I use whey protein, creatine, energy aminos, multi vitamin, fish oil tablets, 1000mg of vitamin c, lechtin, glucosamine and good whole foods...
I lift in a tested fed so no Vitamin K for me

I second the whole foods thing... My wife and I spend an insane amount of money on food, Ak is wicked expensive
My favorite protein brand is Dymatize Iso 100. It taste great and has the least amount of fat/calories and the most protein per serving (I don't have Wolfs problem, I will F-ing eat everything lol). I like Optimum as well... It's also Dom Mazzeti approved:thumb:

Bodybuilding.com has a rating system... I used that until I found what worked best for me... Honestly other than Fish oil and some good multi vitamins (if your a picky eater) you can get everything you need from whole foods.
What are your fitness goals? That can have alot to do with what supps you should use...
For me I have always been heavier, so I look for proteins with less calories and fat... Someone like Wolf would want the exact opposite of me.
My goals are to basically turn the vast majority of my fat into muscle. I'm on day 4 of p90x and I just want the best results possible. I've never been into fitness but and determined to change my lifestyle.
Good for you. Don't worry about supps for now. Maybe just look into some multi vitamins, fish oil & glucosamine.
Also set small goals for yourself. That way your not discouraged by the amount of time it takes to reach your ultimate goal.
If your modifying your diet, make small changes as well. The key to healthy eating, is baby steps. That is why most crash diets only work for a short time and then your worse off than before... I started by just cutting out Mt.Dew I could wreck a 6 pack a day, easy. I can't stand Mt.dew now.
P90X is no joke, If you stick with it it will whip your butt in shape:thumb: Consistency is the key here, just stay the course.
Lots of support here:hug:
Thanks for the help. At 33 I'm finally concerned about my physical condition and it's hard to change.
