Tom's Log

Hello, I’ve never posted on this site before and as such I’ll introduce myself, I’m Tom. I’m 15 years old, from Phillipsburg, NJ. I’ve been involved with sports my whole life(football since the third grade, wrestling for a couple of years when i was little) but just recently (a little over 2 months) began training for competition natural bbing.

Currently I train at a hole in the wall gym, Unlimited Changes, which is run by the 3x WNSO natural Mr. Universe Mike Kocsis. As of right now my commitment is to gain about 50 lbs, and then cut down to around 225-215 for contest season nest year. In life my ultimate commitments to myself are to squat 500 lbs. 30 times, and to eventually win an IFBB olympia(I don’t want to stay natural forever) .

I lift six days a week but provide adequate two days rest for each muscle group, training Legs/Back/Bis/Traps on Mondays and Thursdays, Calves/Forearms/Abs on Tuesdays and Fridays, and Chest/Shoulders/Tris on Weds. and Saturdays. I take in lots of good fats, about 250g protein, and high carbs, percent wise probably 40% carbs, 40-45% protein, and 15-20% fats. My favorite bbers are Tom Platz, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Chet Yorton. Squat 405x3, Bench 255x3, and Deadlift 405x2. I’m 6’2, 190 (I know, I know, skinny fuck(excuse the language)). I’m keeping my log on here as well as in my regular composition book because i just can’t read my handwriting. So,

Thanks, take care
