When I Started:
Feb, 2005
How I Started:
When i was a freshman, i was taking food service and we ate all kinds of good stuff. Then one day as i looked down, i noticed, i was getting a gut. Being short,having matches for arms, and scrawny all over, was kinda, awkward. So from there on i've went through trial and error.Plus with,help from a few select magazines, books, and a couple friends. I read as much as i can. I try to talk to as many people as i can as well but not many around here are interested on the topic. None the less, i love to learn and train. Hopefully, one day i will be a personal trainer and it'd be nice to compete for fun one day.
Why I Love It:
It is the only thing i go completely nuts over. Much less the only thing that can make me even interested to read. I have no idea why i love it, but i sure do.
I want to get bigger and stronger. I plan to train like the hardgainer i am, low volume,basic moves, and a four day split working each bodypart twice a week. I am limited to squats and back exercises ATM due to my injury but hopefully it'll be fixed soon.
Weight Goal:
I want to GAIN 20 lb

Back, neck, knees, shoulders, and elbows. Usually hurt when I put stress on em but my back hurts to lay and after I sit for a while. Been goin on for about a year. It's a mess.
Started June 16, 2008. I began Starting Strength (from Mark Rippetoe. I will only do the basics and will stick to the basics for as long as i can. My days are three days a week, nonconsecutive and toggle between workout A and workout B
yah i think an exercise that would help you are "supermans". You lay on your belly and raise your arms and legs off the ground. Should strengthen your lower back. You might want to go see a sports rehab doctor. They'll help you with other exercises to do.
try a thick comfater to lay on... or maybe use a pillow under ur back till you get a new mattress... the foam made it worse? i just bought a really nice queen size pillow top 300 with box spring :).. take a hot shower before bed to relax the muscel to.
what kind of foam mattress? a soft mattress will allow you to sink in more and not support your back. Let me know how you are feeling, sorry I didn't respond sooner!
but not only will u be releasing some of the tension in ur lower back muscles but also increasing ur flexibility and leg strength and endurance...let me know how things go...peace...sorry couldnt put it in one comment...
like ur making a table with ur lower legs...this will decompress ur vertabre in ur lower back by taking the weight from ur legs and supporting it by the pillows...and try squating when u can instead of sitting...when u sit all ur upper body weight compresses ur lower back muscles and vertabre...in the squat ur legs absorb the weight...u might have to work on ur flexibility a lil bit...
Wuts crackin man??? by rest i meant take better care of ur back...try this and let me know if ur back begins to feel better...when u go to sleep...put some pillows under ur knees...
since my goal is mass, i prefer to stick in the 6- 8 rep range, bro - but if i can get 10 on a so called heavy set - why hold back? it was obviously too light anyway! rep ranges should stay below 12 i think, so you don't tire before the next heavier set. as i noted before - big weights = big muscles. a light week with high reps every 7- 8 weeks can really help though.
If you want to gain size and strength, i would recommend that you buy the book Heavy Duty 2 Mind and body by Mike Mentzer.
Those are not my current stats, im quite a bit larger ATM although quite bloated from bulking, gonna eliminate much of the bloat soon.
