Ok so I decided why get BIG if I am not Strong. I figured I'd get strength , that would burn fat, and grow muscle then I can Isolate etc once I get my strength up.
That being said I looked into 2 different Strength Programs both are very similar, Strong Lifts 5x5 & Starting Strength Rippetoe's. I decided to go with Rippetoe's for no reason in particular.
The work outs are as follows:
The program doesn't recommend Cardio if you are under 15% BF. AB work is ok, Decline Sit-ups/or Hanging Leg Raises are recommended for ABs.
No Assistance or ISOLATIONS. The compound lifts really do work every muscle pretty well. Isolation will come when it is time to get BIG and less focus on strength.
As far as weight is concerned:
So my starting stats are on my first week:
Weight: 185LBS
Height: 6'0"
SQUATS: 150 (worked on form on free Barbell vs Smith Machine)
BENCH PRESS: 170
DEADLIFTS: 255 (Alternating grip, Weight belt)
DIPS: 3x10 @ Body-weight (Need to buy Dip Belt for weight)
STANDING MILITARY PRESS: 105
POWER CLEANS: 110 (First time doing them, wanted to work on form)
CHIN-UPS: 3x6 @ Body-weight

I have been working on core strengh workouts, I have been working out at home, and doing a lot of cardio (running a total of 12 miles a week). I dont feel like going back to a gym, i spent way too much time there when i was a Jr.Bodybuilder. I am using the ab wheel, Ab roller, 50 lbs dumbells, 30lbs dumbells, perfect pushup, yoga mat and a broom stick. In thursdays i do a couple of hours of grappling with the local HS wrestling team, still waiting for the bicyle to be fitted for my size and tuned, as soon as the bike is ready i am planning a good 100 miles a week plus the regular 12 miles i am running.
yea im still up in the air about a gym membership i like working out on my own and doing my thing. i have a couple 30lb dumbells and then my staionary bike and kayak. i might just buy a few more weights and possibly a bench.. but for an update.. ive had a cold since last thursday and havent been able to do any exercise.. ive been kinda scared to get up on the scale and see what im at, ill check later today..

Anyone in palm beach near lake worth? I go to staying alive I used to take serious mass, and now cyto gainer and nano X9
Thats where I go. But probably not for much longer. $34 a month vs $10 or $15 at Planet Fitness or somewhere smaller. Thats a lot of $$$ to save. Just need to make sure they got the right equipment.
Me yo. Palm Beach.
