Nothing. You can read about his workouts here. This is a thread where he can write about his workouts and say how much he has gained in his program.

good luck on your program.

ya im not doing a "real" program by any means. The first 2-3 months is mostly about building strength. Thats what i'll update unless i gain inches. I will not be dissapointed if i do not get any inches by June 1. I will be dissapointed if i dont get any inches by Sept. 1 though

After each workout i'll post what i did with weight and sets.

Ok so i was playing ball a little today just shooting around at the gym and decided just to do 2 sets of squats to see where im at. This is my official workout #1

WORKOUT #1

Squat- 185- 8 reps
Squat- 205- 8 reps

Next workout is on tuesday

These squats were on a smith machine so the numbers are tainted. A smith Machine simulates a squat but is much easier
