Leading up to now
I started working out on Jan 12, 2005. I am 5'10" and weighed 150lbs when I began. I started a four day a week exercise program. The program consisted of:
Monday/Thursday
Bench Press, 3 sets 6-12 reps
Incline Dumbbell Press, 3 sets 6-12 reps
Preacher Curls, 3 sets 6-12 reps

Military Press, 3 sets 6-12 reps

My diet consisted 3 meals a day consisting of at least 50 grams of protein 75 to 100 grams of carbs. 2 snacks during the day that consisted of 25 to 40 grams of protein and 50 to 65 grams of carbs.
I slept a minimum of 8 hours per day and worked out in the morning at 6:00 a.m.
I kept this routine until January 27, 2005. I didn't feel with the exercise routine I was doing I was getting the maximum benefit so I changed my exercise program as follows.

I have done this program for three days now and I can feel the pump during the workout, I feel tight when I get home and I can feel my muscles growing. Definitely enjoying the new program. Even though I am at the gym 6 days a week, it is definitely worth it.
In the two weeks I have been working out I have gained 10lbs so I know the diet is doing well. At this point I am just trying to bulk up and I am not too concerned about fat content, but once I get to around 190 I am going to clean up my diet and try to drop a lot of the fat and cholesterol from my diet. Starting on January 30, 2005 I will begin to put exactly what I eat on here so you guys can see what my diet consists of and maybe it will help someone out or maybe someone can help me out.
Anyway, this has brought everyone up to speed and I will be back tomorrow to talk about my diet.
Later
