Ok, you should have kept this for when DD finished!
I bet you get confused.

:D Probably. I'll just add stats & weigh ins to my DDC log now, should finish it up quite nicely
Quick update on the stats after the first 10 days, weight gain of 5lbs. I don't think much (if any) of this is muscle gain, more like water & glycogen (sp) stores topping back up. Waist measurement was 35", an inch increase on 10 days ago which is BS, I thought 34" was a bit suspect anyway - still on the last belt loop & skinfolds the same so good good :)
As from today the diet will go tits up - tonight there is a party tea, tommorrow I'm out for a meal & on Saturday night there's a big night out. If I can get through that lot & not put any chubb on I'll be a happy dude, just need to be sensible & not go mad
Back from a weekend of beer & bad diet plus I have a wedding on Saturday so even more beer will be involved so not looking at gaining for a week or so, going to stick at around 2000-2200 calories until next Monday when the diet will clean back up

Not the best of workouts but I really couldn't be arsed last night, in fact it was the gym I couldn't be arsed with. Usually they blast out chavvy dance music & it's pretty busy on a Tuesday but last night was the opposite, it was quiet & they had Kerrang playing so I had a better sesh than expected.
Next visit on Thursday, diet's been good exempt I did have a 280 calorie Magnum the other night
come on JBB; you've really gotta start putting in some effort! nothing below a B for effort! give it your all; just think about how annoying it is walking out of a gym knowing you could have done more! Or do what I do when the reps get tough and imagine some hottie stood there naked; then you'd squeeze out an extra rep whatever it took!
On the first page you say; if your skionfolds/waist get to a certain measurement then you'll stop the bulk. What are these certain measurements?
I do need to get some consistently good performances under my belt, after this weekend I should be able to knuckle down & get on with it for a good few solid weeks. I know that I'm well capable of working my nuts, it's the consistensy thing I need to work on
I've been having a little think about the maximum's I want things to go to before I halt the bulk. Ab skinfold seems to be sitting pretty at 16-18mm & it was a bugger to shift at 25mm so I reckon a 21-23mm cap would be suitable. I'm also comfortably on the last notch of my work belt so I'll let that slip one notch or 36" waist measurement whichever happens first , so I guess officially:
Johnny's Fat Caps
Ab Skinfold: 21-23mm
Waist Measurement: 36"
Work Belt: One Notch

I've just realised, that's my last Dirty Dozen Challenge workout, it's all over for me
Had a much better workout last night, really enjoyed it. I'm rather annoyed about the Leg Extention being broke & I think it will be for some time, I was really starting to enjoy it as part of the Leg Press
Diet for this week has ranged from 2100 -2400 calories, after this weekend I'll start at a solid 2400-2500 caloiries & see where I go for a week or two. In regard to boosting calorie, I'm going to go with strength & lean mass gains rather than boost them on my weight
Next workout will be on Tuesday. Hopefully once this weekend's out of the way I'll be able to get back into the 3 times a week routine & be able to give the diet 100%
Going to stick with the Rack for this, rather than keep changing

A good solid B performance, really pushed for that extra rep on every exercise, the gym was nice & quiet & the Foo's were blasting out when I got their so I knew I'd have a good session :)
I'm not sure why I'm, marking Attainment for, I don't feel like I'm attaining much at the moment because I'm no where near my PB's
Hopefully after today I should have a home PC (yay), I've had a brand spanking new PC at work & they've said I can have my old one. For now (I think) I can get online via my phone's modem while I get myself a wireless receiver sorted :)
It's been 3 days since the wedding after 2000-2200 a day it's time to boost them a little, into the 2400 region, for the first time in ages I have 4 rounds of sandwiches with a full can of tuna - happy days :) - I'll get today's diet posted up later or tommorrow (maybe even tonight)
ETA: To be frank, my shoulders suck! So my first specialisation will be for shoulders
