I don't know how your program looks like but I would advice against doing two set of full body workouts every week. That's just too much work on the body.

Other than that, good luck, I'll be watching this journal.

This week was a disaster. Couldn't eat all that well due to family-related problems, but I still managed to work out 4 days. Unfortunately my weight went down a pound, it hovers between 119 and 120. Thankfully the problems are over. I will do things right this week.

For those of you wondering what my body looks like, I took a pic of myself with a webcam. (don't have digital camera) Keep in mind that I already started lifting some 2 months ago and very strong for my size.

Flexing in the pic. Comments appreciated. Thanks.

Depends on the set/rep schemes used.

Jetboy, if you're going to go with this split then do one workset for every muscle group otherwise it'll be too taxing as Lifeforce says. Also, increased protein intake is vital for recovery/repair - 2g per lb of target bodyweight.

And I'll recommend glutamine, get in 20-30g a day to help with recovery. (it helps, I've found - others might suggest that it doesn't do anything though).

I got my weight up to 121.5 lbs!!! Whoo!!

But I better work on it more, since there's only about 4.5 weeks before school starts! -I have set a goal to reach 130 lbs-

Also I got sneezing and runny nose in summer?!? And have no allergies......did any of you get these symptoms?

I will look into glutamine, thanks for the info. It's so hard shoving all the food in you...but oh well..

Also I sleep like a bear (10-11hrs) so I get plenty of rest time.



Well..I hope to put another pound by this week. Laterz!
