Advanced Mass Strength workout?

fitinboise Posts: 73 Joined: 2004/03/17	2008/02/28, 08:34 PM I am getting ready to start this on Saturday. I need to put on some mass in the next 16 weeks. Has anybody done this provided program and what kind of results? I know one has to eat food and drink water like a horse. I am already drinking a gallon of water a day and about 1/2 gallon of milk a day. I will getting about 3600 calories a day with about 250 grams of protein. Also, I will be taking Now Adam, Animal Flex, Animal M-Stak and Scivation Xtend during workouts. Also Whey Protein to fill in gaps when I don't have time to cook etc. Any feedback is welcome. Thanks!

I know, I know...I'm an asshole Fitinboise, you would probably be better off posting this in a bodybuilding forum and/or asking BB1Fit about this.

fitinboise Posts: 73 Joined: 2004/03/17	2008/03/01, 01:21 PM Yeah, that profile info is almost 2 years old. I need to update it. Also, the reason I am posting in the powerlifting/strength section is I have not lifted enough to worry about bodybuilding lifts. I still need to pack on more mass and to do that I need to gain more strength still. I believe I still have a good 3-5 mos. left of newbie gains to benefit from. Hmm..maybe I answered my own question. In any case, I am also considering starting with Chad Waterburys, "The Waterbury Method". Thanks for the feedback. ============ Quoting from ecle5c: Your profile says that you're trying to get down to 10% bf, but this post talks about gaining mass and eating like a horse.

fitinboise Posts: 73 Joined: 2004/03/17	2008/03/01, 04:57 PM Pemdas, have you done The Waterbury Method? I just really like how he splits up the sets and reps in it, looks like a fun workout. Plus lots have gotten great results from what I've read. Also, I ordered a couple of Rippetoes books so I may hit his 3/5 x 5 program after Waterbury. I need to practice my squat form first before I hit Rippetoes though. I plan on doing very light weight and high rep squats on my cardio days to get my form down.

fitinboise Posts: 73 Joined: 2004/03/17	2008/03/09, 07:01 PM Well, I did one Waterbury workout but then switched to Rippetoes workout since I got my squat form down. I am really liking it so far. I do Bar Dips and Chinups as my two accessory exercises.
fitinboise Posts: 73 Joined: 2004/03/17	2008/04/04, 12:07 PM Been doing Mark Rippetoes Starting Strength for about 6 weeks now. Getting great results. All of my big 3 lifts have really shot up. Buying the book was huge, it's worth it's weight in gold. Also, yesterday I finally started doing Power Cleans. I'm liking them so far. I tried to update my profile but it just erases after I do so not sure what is going on with that. I am up to 198 lbs. now. I was in the 170's 2 years ago.

fitinboise Posts: 73 Joined: 2004/03/17	2008/04/04, 12:21 PM Yeah, your right. I thought it was 6 weeks. It has been closer to 4, sorry. I guess I should say I have been doing basic powerlifting workouts for 6 weeks then moved to Rippetoes after 2 weeks.
