Well eating has been shit cause of stuff goin on in my life but that is out of the way now...I had basically no appetite.
Wanted to workout today but my leg is quite bad from the mercury.Gonna appoint a dentist to have them fillings removed next week.
Hopefully things will get better.Still at around 182lbs.Hoping to get to about 189lbs or so after all is said and done.We will see how I go the next 2 weeks to see if its possible.

Am actually only making appointments and discussing it right now.Was gonna make an appointment with my old dentist but he is clearly just after the money.Telling me 120 euro just for a check up and telling me that I will need 7 fillings replaced(All I mentioned was I wanted 2 amalgam replaced for 2 composite non BPA) which will cost over 1000.All without asking about that at all.Also saying that I shouldnt have the 2 removed because of exposure to mercury...RobRegish wrote:Good man on getting the lead/mercury out Cookie! Excited to see how this unfolds...DaCookie wrote:Will make an update soon.Gaining slowly and trying to stay away from quad/ham work.
Gonna hear back from dentists on Monday.
Weight has increased a good bit since last but some is water.Gonna post the training ive been doing later if I remember.I havent been slacking just I havent been posting.
Learned an important lesson recently.If youre gaining strength in a hypertrophy orientated routine constantly but the scales arent moving much then it doesnt mean that you arent gaining.Made the mistake before of switching routines quite often.

The long awaited update.Remember I am focusing on weak areas and am purposely trying to neglect quads/hams to balance my physique.

(I am dropping the super wide grip bench for some other type of grip bench as I am performing it in a power rack and my grip is so wide that I can very easily catch my hand on sharp metal and be crushed by the bar...it is quite dangerous and the way I have to perform it is dangerous...if I fail a rep then yeah I dont wanna think about what will happen.Great movement otherwise, has produced noticeable growth in my chest but I have bruises on my hand from it meeting the metal of the power rack.But I felt my sweaty hands slowly moving across the bar making my grip even wider during reps on this training session.Scared the shit outta me and gave me a wakeup call about changing this grip/excercise.)
Right now my weight is 13.6 stone, 190lbs.On one of the days I went out to eat the carbs/water/glycogen I drew in made me 13.9 stone/195lbs.A lot of the weight increase is in my biceps, they have gotten noticeably bigger warm by about a quater to half inch.Doesnt sound like much but huge difference on my ectomorph very small jointed frame.
I have a massive shake after workout days only and am gonna continue doing this for good.The weight increase from it has been very nice although I basically feel sick and cant move after/while drinking it as its like 1.5-2k calories including 8 raw egg yolks lol.So far this run we will say Ive gained about 7lbs or .5stone minusing the water etc.Very happy as its gone to the areas that need it most.I dont expect to gain much more this blueprint run as I will be scaling back food intake to avoid fat gain but overall very happy and the workout tips Rob gave, especially the ones for biceps were the best and made my biceps grow the most ive ever seen in a short period of time.
