The Turning?

Starting a new journal today, when i should be training chest and biceps. But i'll go later. Promise.
 
Stats:
Age: 25
Height: 6ft
Weight: 17.5lbs
 
Goals: MASS! STRENGTH! SIZE! Basically, so i have to walk through double doors, sideways ...
 
History:
Been training now since i was 18. First two years was spent messing around doing cardio, lifting when i hadn't got a clue. But after buying Arnies' training book things changed!
 
Complete Natural.
 
Changed my routine around loads of times before settling on two - Dorian Yates's and a more power/bodybuilding routine.
 
Due to the lovely English weather im onto the more power/bodybuilding routine again, in which im calling 'The Winter Off Mass'. (TWOM)!
 
Current Training routine is: -
Monday - Chest and Biceps
Wednesday - Shoulders and Triceps
Friday - Legs
Monday - Back and Calves
 
Basically training the body over 10 days, allowing for more rest and recoup.
 
Will post exercises later on, when i have more time.
 
Diet:
Poor at the moment. Eating quite clean with the odd cheat meal, but nowhere near as much protein as i should be taking.
 
Supplements: -
VM2000 vitamins x 2 daily
Pro Peptide
Pro Mass
Pro Recover
Liquid egg whites.
 
Just finishing off some DS Activate Xtreme, which were rubbish. Rubbish.
 
My journal is called The Turning, because, i've some what lost my desire for the gym, and having a few weeks off here and there have not solved the problem.
 
Therefore, The Turning is getting back on track. Hitting the target weight of 20 Stone! Maybe 21 stone, ripped. Thats the Goal anyway.
 
I will and have been thinking about Turning to the dark side, but lack of balls has so far restricted this to only pipe dreams!
 
We shall see ...

Shame about the bloated stomach on this one, thats what a plate full of pasta and garlic bread does to you at dinner time ...

Well, just had kfc for dinner - 2 zinger tower burgers and a hot rod with beans. Left the chips.

Needed something as the cupboards are empty until shopping tonight.    

Hopefully training chest and bi's about 8pm.

Well, didn't train on Monday. Had large bowl of wholegrain pasta with prawns for tea.

Tuesday went for a 4 mile ramble in the dales and couldn't be bothered training once i got back.

It gets worse - fish and chips for dinner (small portion) with a cake. Then pasta with bacon and prawns for tea.

I AM DEFINATELY TRAINING TODAY.

Around half 1. I've got to. Chest and Biceps.

Trained, thank God.

Nowt really to shout about.

Got 160kg for 3 on flat bench

105kg incline for 6.

Flys - 30kg for 6.

Didn't stick to my biceps routine. Did some concentration curls and some light dumbbell curls with 20kg.

Was in and out in 45 mins.

Had 2 scoops pro recover, 2 scoops pro peptide and 6 squirts of egg whites (15g protein.)
