NEW WEIGHT: 156.5 lbs (WOOHOO!)
First week of working out and my diet (thanks to bb1's grocery list) has changed from random garbage to a steady 5000+ cals/day. Is a 4+ lbs gain in less than a week healthy? I hope so! My day previously started around 9AM... but, for the past couple of days, it's taken a new leaf and been starting at 6AM. Here's my routine so far:
6AM WAKEUP
Stretch out
- Push-ups : 15,15,12,10 (3-day Change:Standard/Wide/Close)
- SideLats : 15,15,12,10 (10.0 lbs)
- Chin-ups : 10,8,6,4
- BicepCurls: 50,40,35,15 (15.0 lbs)
- Dips : 15,15,12,10
- Crunches : 30,20,15,10
- Squats : 15,15,12,8
- CalfRaise : 30,20,15,10
- Run 2miles and walk 1/4 mile
Cleanup
Eat a BIG Breakfast
GOOD TO GO! :)
In a month, I should be ready to find a gym somewhere that can fit into my schedule. BTW: My gf says I have lost my mind. I told her maybe, but i've gained weight! lol.

got a real quick question if you are looking to gain why are you working out before you eat are you consuming some protien prior to workout??? Working out on an empty will burn fat and eat into muscle for energy...just an observation based on the post nd if you wanna build mass try upping the weights as the reps go down for example your post says side lats 15,15,12,10 (10.0lbs) try a 15x5, 12x10,10x15
and just one more quick observation WHY SO MANY BICEP CURLS?????? good lord 140 reps...i hope this isnt one day workout

Im not consuming anything prior. If your suggesting I eat and then workout for better results, then I'll definitely change that starting Monday. About how much time for cool down after I eat though? 30-45min? I'll definitely up the weights and lower the reps. As for the bicep curls: My arms are really small and long.. so, I thought if I was to use small weights with alot of reps it would build muscle and keep the "cut"? Compliments of my rookie mentality I guess. lol. Much Appreciated!

lol yeah no all you are going to do is build up muscle endurance not masss, and if you are able to do that much lifting you probably arent challenging the muscle that much....you should try to keep your weight on lifts to where you gotta work for the last rep or two....I am not suggesting a full breakfast but if you could simply down a protien shake that would help

Well the new plan and 5000cal diet seem to be working. I sometimes feel bloated after eating, but I still look the same in size. Im guessing fat loss and muscle gain? My day now starts at 2AM since I've recently attained a second job. It consist of shaving and tossing 65lb+ tires and I love the exercise! I average 660 tires per day. My new and current morning routine:
2AM WAKEUP
BIG Breakfast
3AM Stretch out
- Push-ups : 2min Max,30,20,12 (Change:Standard/Wide/Close)
- SideLats : Cut due to job.
- Chin-ups : 20,10,5
- BicepCurls: Cut due to job.
- Dips : Max,30,20,12
- Crunches : 2min Max,30,20,12
- Squats : 45,35,20,12
- Run 4.5 miles then walk 0.5 miles
Cleanup and head out.
I had to cut the lats and curls because my job performance was horrid. Hopefully Ill have some new pics by the weekend. I look the same, maybe more defined, but I feel GREAT!
