I want to increase my weight limit by at LEAST 10Lbs - 15Lbs (depending on machine) each week. I'll do 1 week of a specific weight then lift heavier the following week.

I did the seated press and was able to push forward 160lbs roughly 4 times. That was a huge accompilshment since its more than i weigh. I'll keep pushing forward and hopefully push on some good mucsle mass and burn the fat with HIIT. Keep up the great work guys!!

Push it!

Recently i started lifting weights to bulk up a bit since alot of ppl told me i had the thin physique alrady (this i've known) so i took their advice and started working out. I'm currently a package handler for fedex ground so that keeps my strength high each day. My manager is a Marine and he loves to workout also, so myself and him have been doing pushups/pullups / verticle pushups (hand stand push ups off the ground) for 3-4 days now.

In addition to Arnels program i'm going to be lifting heavy working out

M/W/F working out my Chest, arms and Shoulders. (after resistance training)
T/Th/S I will lift heavy with my Abs, Legs

Then on M/T/Thu/Sat i will do my HIIT.

Thus far, with my Marine manager i have maxed out my pullups at 20 for a set.
I've been doing:
10pullups,
20 pushups,
10pullups,
20pushups,
10pullups,
20pushups,
10pullups (assistance, my arms almost die by this set)
20pushups.

I've been eating ALOT of protein bars and protein in general, from powerbas, to chicken to hamburger with protein shakes.

I have not neglected the most important part of the training... SLEEP/Rest.

My lifting goals:
Butterfly (chest) 175Lbs, CURRENT: 160Lbs
Chest Press 110lbs, CURRENT: 90Lbs
Bicept Curl: 90Lbs, CURRENT: 70lbs
Leg Lift Squat: 220Lbs, CURRENT 180Lbs
Ab Crunch: 100Lbs, CURRENT 50Lbs comfortably

To get results i must push myself.
AOWWW AOWWW AOWWW!!

Wk 7 Day 5 Spartan!!

Well since getting UP has been so hard to do i switched to training at night after work. So i did the Spartan training tonight with the Ab workout #3 (its getting too easy now i need to switch ab excersizes)

To my dismay.. ugh!! when i went to grab my digital cam to take a pic, i dropped the dam thing on the "CARPET.. i know wtf carpet shouldnt harm it" and the dam LCD got a small (we're talking SMALL) crack on the lcd so now i can't even see pictures.. how disappointing!! so i'll borrow a cam from my family member and get a wkly/bi wkly pic hopefully!

anyways, just finished my workout... today at work me and my coworkers were seeing how many pullups we could do, i got to 18 then later that night i did a another set of 19. so i kinda took that as my pullups for the night and decided to not push my arms harder than the pushups for the spartan training aren't easy... the hindu pushups really burn, its harder than i ever would have thought to do just 30.

Near the end of my ab workout i was really pumped and just wanted to do another ab workout.. haha but i didn't. I did the Ab Workout #3 at the Advanced level, 1min interval with >5second rest. so i basically just supersetted the excersizes until i finished all 3 sets... felt DAM GOOD though!!!

I think i MAY be able to pull off the Spartan costume this yr if i really work the next 2 wks on my stuff.

one tip: FORM is better than reps. If you can keep the form CORRECT and do the excersize RIGHT its better than to do 20-30reps just for speed and numbers. Doing only 13 GOOD pushups/crunches is better than 30-40 improper ones. Work on form and make it natural.
