Background: I've been lifting on and off for about a year and a half and not very seriously. I really have no idea what I'm doing. I've always been kind of chunky and would like to get into better shape. I had surgery on my left knee twice about 8 and 10 years ago to fix a torn ACL. I currently have no meniscus in that knee. My overall goal is to lose fat (so my penis looks bigger), gain muscle, weigh around 200lbs, and bang hella chicks. Right now, I'm at the heaviest I've ever been.

Plan: Workout 4-5 days a week. Lift three times a week. Minimum rest between sets. 60 seconds max. Do cardio (probably swimming or biking) two times a week. I may also start jelqing.

Edit: Diet: Not fast food. Consume a maximum of 25002300 calories a day. Gotta kick my fast food habit. I think I may be addicted.

GENERIC GOON DIET PLAN

Calories: 2300
Protein: 200 min.
Fat: 64 min.
Carbs: 100 min.

Stats:
Sex: Male
Age: 25
Height: ~6'3"
Weight: ~230lbs (02/21/2013)
Penis length (erect): 4.3957in
Penis girth (erect): 3.2145in



6 months from now (8/31/2013) I hope to accomplish the following:

Deadlift 405 lbs. (My current 1RM is 345lb. I have no idea how difficult this is going to be. If I reach it early I'll up the weight)

Other goals:
Squat 300lbs.
10 pullups in one set (most I've ever done was 2).
Dunk.
Lose virginity.

If I fail my deadlift goal I will mix up some protein in my shaker, let it sit for like 2 weeks, then record myself attempting to drink it. Should be pretty gross.

I was originally gonna do 450, but adding 100lbs in 6 months seemed ridiculous. Hopefully I won't have any trouble with my knee. I've also been checking out your thread, and I think I may try the 16 tons thing. Seems interesting.

I have a lot of school work to get caught up on, so I will basically spend the weekend in the gym and library.

Try incremental goals. Maybe start with the goal of just going on a date and work your way up if it feels right. That way there's not an enormous amount of pressure and expectation on you or her/him. You'd be amazed; the minute you stop really trying you'll find opportunities thrown at you left and right.

Just don't do dick push ups or you'll end up with a chode.

Just be careful to avoid Turkey Neck


quote:

Skin Stretch and Turkey Neck

Jelqing often places most stress on the skin at the base of the shaft, so as growth occurs this is where skin stretch is often located. If the skin stretches from the base, the bottom of the shaft presents no resistance and the scrotum stretches along the shaft (turkey neck). Avoidance of turkey neck can be hard. Performing a separate skin stretching routine may help.

Skin stretch can result in stretch marks, ensuring the penis is well and regularly moisturized will help avoid this.

Why the gently caress do you people keep holding on to this fallacy. You can absolutely gain strength while losing weight even if you are already in good shape, much less going from untrained like this guy is.

Ok I'm confused now. While I 100% agree that losing weight and getting stronger on a deficit works for noobs, you can't tell me that adding 60lbs to a 345lbs deadlift will work on a deficit? I have worded my first comment very badly and I'm sorry.

Also if he really deadlifts 345lbs he is almost in intermediate territory.

She almost makes me drop my cake. WTF. I'm like YOUR RUINING MY CAKE EXPERIENCE. I was actually enjoying it despite previously not liking red velvet cake.

Holy crap! A talking muffin!

I can't imagine those would help much, especially 'cause they're so easy. People on these forums always recommend holding your last deadlift as long as you can to increase grip strength and maybe that helps some.

But here's what you really do. On those dumbbell rows, chalk up before if you can and do those 75 pounders for more like 20 reps. Don't be afraid to cheat on them. Like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6T5n79Srpk

Another thing that works pretty well is if you have some of those dumbbells with the hexagonal heads, pick them up by the ends like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn3BcreDfbA. These are pretty good if you hold them for time. 50 lbs is really good on this, 25 or 30 lbs is a better starting weight.

The bench, incline press, and shoulder press are frustrating. My left side is lagging so far behind I struggle with every set, but I could probably add another 10-15 pounds to my right side. With the shoulder press I've found that I lean slightly to the right to help get the left arm up. So I think I may lower the weight by like 5-10 pounds, lift extra slow, and make sure I'm not favoring either arm. Maybe I should start jerkin it with my left arm too. But I need to work on my right hand grip, so Idk.

Also, I heard using a yoga ball instead of a bench will help balance it out. But I'm wary of trying it because I've heard stories of the ball popping and people dislocating their shoulders. Although, I'm pretty sure my gym has one of these, so I may try that.

I can't imagine those would help much, especially 'cause they're so easy. People on these forums always recommend holding your last deadlift as long as you can to increase grip strength and maybe that helps some.

But here's what you really do. On those dumbbell rows, chalk up before if you can and do those 75 pounders for more like 20 reps. Don't be afraid to cheat on them. Like this: video

Another thing that works pretty well is if you have some of those dumbbells with the hexagonal heads, pick them up by the ends like this: video. These are pretty good if you hold them for time. 50 lbs is really good on this, 25 or 30 lbs is a better starting weight.

Sweeeeet. Definitely trying these out. Thanks for the info.

School killed me. I'm dead. And fat.

I've worked out like once a week, sometimes twice, but nothing really worth logging. They were lovely workouts. Now that schools over I'm not stressed, I can workout more, and I'll actually log my lovely workouts.

Current temperature is 82 degrees Fahrenheit. Precipitation is 10%. Humidity is 34%. And there's a wind of 4mph blowing in from the Northwest. Pretty nice day out, but now I'm sitting in my apartment with a sweaty rear end. Very uncomfortable.

I rode my bike to and from the gym. It was nice. Except I fell off.




I have access to the school gym until the 15th so I'm gonna try to use it everyday till then. Then I have to move out of my apartment. Then I'm leaving on the 23rd to go to New York and Connecticut for a wedding. Then I bang hella chicks at the wedding. Then I come back on the 29th. Then I don't know what happens after that. I guess step up my deadlift game.
