    TS, two consecutive WO ka na nagfailed sa 2nd set mo? Try to sustain the same weight this coming WO, pag nag fail ka pa din you need to deload (Make sure you did not fall to this before trying to deload: you have had a bad day, not enough sleep, eaten bad or other stress).

    Bro, sa tingin ko sobra yung computation mo for your caloric intake. You are actually eating a lot lesser that what you are accounting for.

    Just to give you an idea, this is what a 3700+ calorie worth of food for a day.
    http://pinoybodybuilding.com/Thread-From-Scrawny-to-Brawny?pid=90640#pid90640

    Looking at your previous food logs, it's nowhere near the 3200 calorie which you are claiming. It's more like 2000-2500 calorie, at least, if my estimates are correct. One thing for sure though, you are eating way below than what you think.

    Add more food if you want to grow. :)

    Suggestion ko lang, make it simple. Continue eating the way you are eating. Observe for two weeks. If you didn't gain any weight or didn't get bigger based on measurements, then you need to add more food. Ganun lang. Don't make it complicated. :)

    pero parang nag gain naman po ako ng maskels at ng fats

    Pano mo nalaman na nag-gain ka nito? Aside from weight, you can also measure progress through measuring girths, photos and strength. Usually, directly proportional yang mga yan. As you gain weight, usually, you also gain girth and/or strength too. Kailangan ma-assess mo yung sarili mo properly by doing those things para alam mo kung may adjustment ba na kailangan in order to move forward.

    If you are not measuring those, then you are just guessing. Malamang, guesswork din mangyayari sa progress mo. So think about it.

    MEASURE. RE/ASSESS. ADJUST. :)

    About sa 2 consecutive days na failed ka sa chest routine mo. Naka-kain ka ba ng maayos nung araw na yun? Tulog?

    Pangalawa, if you're using a machine, i-adjust mo. May mga paraan naman para ma-adjust yan. Hindi naman na-imbento yang machine na yan para sa iisang sukat ng tao.

    Alam ko yan, dahil ganyang machine ang ginagamit ko ngayon simula nung nagka injury ako.

    Pangatlo, DELOAD. Nasabi na nila.

    At huli, nasobrahan ka sa pagpapapayat bro. Posible na kulang pa sa mass yung arms mo para suportahan ka sa buhat mo.

    yung tuesday din ganyan din nangyari sakin.. sa incline ko (60lbs) unang rep. palang sa 2nd set hirap na hirap nako iaangat parang ngalay agad yung arms ko.. tsaka sa flat benchpress ko ganyan din hirap na sa 2nd set,tapos tinatamad nako... hindi ko natatapos yung workout ko.

    last week ganto yung stats ko pag nag workout ako ng chest....
    Incline Benchpress(60lbs)=15x5
    Flat benchpress(60lbs)=14 . 12 . 10 . 6.......... (70lbs) 15x5 (with spot)
    Decline Benchpress(50lbs)=15x3 . 10x2
    Cable flys(40lbs)=15x5
    ...........
    ano po kaya nangyari sakin? parang ngalay na ngalay agad arms ko sa benchpress ngayon pero sa ibang workout naman po hindi . mag deload po kaya ako? or mag dagdag kain?
    Advice naman po jan mga master :)
    thankyou po :sport:

    Pag 12-15 reps ang nagagawa mo mangangalay ka talaga dyan which is dapat lang. try mo mo 10lbs lang buhatin for 15 reps baka hindi ka mangalay sa sobrang gaan. Dapat nga matuwa ka na nangangalay ka kasi ibig sabihin, may blood flow and muscle contraction na nangyayari. 15-20 reps ginagawa mo tapos umaabot ka ng 5 sets of 15 reps, wag ka nagtaka sa nangyayari dahil minimum 200 reps total ata nagagawa mo every chest WO.

    Nakakatamad talaga yung paulit ulit na rep range tapos same weight, magdagdag ka ng weight para next time mangalay ka naman sa 80-100lbs sa rep range na 7-10 reps.
    Deload??? serious? hahaha:sleepy:

    @Squat, ayan bro, dami na inputs and suggestions on how to succeed with your goal. It's up to you whether to act accordingly or just do your old ways. :)

    One more thing, your journal title says it all. EAT BIG. LIFT BIG. GET BIG. Problema lang, medyo subjective kasi yung BIG eh. It seems your idea of BIG is different from ours. So here's a suggestion...

    EAT BIGGER. LIFT BIGGER. GET BIGGER.

    Goodluck! :)

    You are doing WAAAAAY too many sets and WAAAAY too many reps. At 5'7 and only 125 lbs and only being at it for 3 months, you need to completely revamp your workouts and split. Five sets of almost every exercise, 20-30 sets for bodyparts? At your level of development you shouldn't even LOOK at a cable. I mean 5 sets of cable flyes wtf? You appear to be a young guy, so much better to learn the right way instead of continuing on with what you are doing. Sorry I don't speak much tag so I don't know if anyone else has brought your training issue to your attention. You should be focusing on only the Mac Daddy exercises to grow dude, like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, incline presses, military presses, barbell rows, pullups, dips, barbell curls, skullcrushers. I GUARANTEE you that if you stop the current program you are doing and start doing those exerciise I listed, and ONLY those exercises, doing only 3 bust ass sets of each exercise for 8-10 reps, that your gains in a year will be MUCH more than doing the current marathon you are doing now.

    Workout A
    Bench press - 10, 8, 6

    Incline press - 10, 8, 8

    Military press - 10, 8, 6

    Dips - 10, 10, 8

    Skullcrushers - 10, 8, 8


    Workout B
    Squats - 10, 8, 6

    Pullups - 10, 10, 8

    Deadlift - 10, 8, 6

    Barbell row - 10, 8, 8

    Barbell curls - 10, 8, 8

    Workout every other day, ie, Mon, Wed, Fri. Take weekends off to rest - that means NO lifting or even bodyweight exercises on weekends. Alternate workout A & B, so example, this week will be like:

    Mon - Workout A
    Wed - Workout B
    Fri - Workout A

    Then the next week on Mon, you start with Workout B. Etc etc.

    You need to "re-train" your mind and way of thinking completely, because you have been used to doing so much volume. You are probably looking at the workout above thinking it is sooo very little volume. Guess what - volume & long time spent in the gym MEAN NOTHING regarding results. The key is, you BUST YOUR ASS on each of those sets above and always try to get 1 more rep than before, or add 5 more lbs and get the same reps as last time. Progressive resistence is the name of the game for results - and even moreso at your early stage of development. I didn't include any warmup sets, all sets listed are work-sets, that means you give it your all on those sets. Do just enough warmup sets to prevent injury, but don't do so much that you fatigue yourself before the worksets.

    You make sure to rest long enough between sets - rest 3 minutes with squats, deadlifts, bench press. All other exercises rest 2 minutes. The reason is that sufficient recovery is needed between sets so you can use the heaviest weights possible to get the reps. Also, make sure all those reps are YOU ONLY and NOT spotted. Throw in a couple sets of calf work 2x a week and you are good to go. You do everything I said, eat right and get enough rest for recovery, and you will be thanking me in a couple months. ;)

I didn't include any warmup sets, all sets listed are work-sets, that means you give it your all on those sets. Do just enough warmup sets to prevent injury, but don't do so much that you fatigue yourself before the worksets.

    You make sure to rest long enough between sets - rest 3 minutes with squats, deadlifts, bench press. All other exercises rest 2 minutes. The reason is that sufficient recovery is needed between sets so you can use the heaviest weights possible to get the reps. Also, make sure all those reps are YOU ONLY and NOT spotted. Throw in a couple sets of calf work 2x a week and you are good to go. You do everything I said, eat right and get enough rest for recovery, and you will be thanking me in a couple months. ;)

    Since you CAN do 3 - 5 pullups, keep doing pullups. You WILL get stronger on them. You will have much more energy for the gym and much more strength reserves for the sets since you will be cutting back dramatically in volume. So step your intensity up a few levels and you will be doing sets of 6 - 8 pullups before long. But for now, do as many sets needed to get 20 reps total, even if it takes you 5-6 sets to get 20. Remember, BUST ASS! No pacing - give every set all you got.

    Also I forgot to mention, you should take several days off from the gym before you start that new routine. This will give your body some rest to recuperate and start fresh. You should stop now - don't workout any more this week. Start on Monday.
