Training Training Logs

hey guys, i expected a minimal loss weight after the shitty week i had, i told my self that it doesn’t matter if i’m still weighting the same, so i took my scale, turned it on and just stepped on, and wtf??? it said 107.7kg or 237lbs, that’s a 1.6kg loss since last week, WAY to break a plateau ha?.

that really motivated me, i’m gonna train my ass off this week.

5/3/1 cycle3, deload week

Deadlift
1x5x72kg
1x5x92kg

Working sets

I’m really happy, i hope next week i lose at least another kg.

Then on evening i went to my boxing class, warmed up quickly, then went for a long run, then did 4 rounds of shadow boxing (2 holding DB’s), then i did sparring with my trainer 2 rounds, then 2 rounds of rope skipping, then 4 rounds on heavy bag, then push ups and abs.

thanks dude, yeah it looks like hard work right?, and IT IS, i’m trying to give my 100%, i’m right on the middle of the race, and i’ve started sprinting to the goal line. It makes me feel pretty good to know that other can see the effort, 'cause that’s how i know that i’m doing it the right way :).

104

well guys, as i’m really motivated and kinda primed, i bought a fat burner, i don’t know what the carryover will be, i don’t know if i’ll fall in placebo effect or that shit, i just took one pill today before my complexes session and i think it really made a difference, i was heavyly sweating and i kinda felt more energy.

placebo effect or not, i’m still gonna make it.

Fat burning session :slight_smile:

ufff, all exercise were done in a row, 5 reps*35kg each. 90-120 seconds rest between sets. 6 total sets.

this session was hell, really far from enjoyable, i was heavyly sweating, but i ended it very happy.
i went to my granma house, and they were really surprised, they inmediatly told me how leaner i looked, they were really happy for me, thay even told me how proud they were, that really made me happy. now i suddenly look at the mirror and realize that all the work i’ve done has really worthit.

then on evening i went to my boxing class, there was raining a little bit, and i said screw that fucking rain, i’ll train anyway, so i went for the long run, and then whrn i got it was raining really hard, then i said, it’s just water, so we did 3 rounds of sparring (giving all out). then 4 rounds on the heavy bag, 4 rounds of shadow boxing and 2 rounds on the rope, that was all, it was raining really hard.

it feels great to spar under heavy rain, i won’t let the weather stops me, nothing will do.

when i got home i was still very sad for my weight, i rested an hour, and then said, screw this, i’m gonna weight my self again, and WTF???, i weighted 106.5kg (1.2kg less than last week), that made me a happy mofo, seriously guys, i’m having the best gains of my life, my arms are starting to lool like i actually lift weight, my shoulder are hard, i’m at my strongest and leanest, waist line is coming down pretty fast, jesus, i’m so happy.

2x6repsx35kg
2x5repsx35kg
1x4repsx35kg

you know, everything in a row, 90-120 seconds between sets. nothing special, just melting this lard off.

111

Don’t let the scale rule your life. It can drive you absolutely insane if you let it. Sometimes progress will come in spurts: no weight lost for a couple of weeks, then 5 pounds the following week. Or even a couple of pound gain, then 5 pounds lost (especially as you get closer to your goal weight). The main thing you want to track is trends. With all that being said, you are doing some really inspiring stuff, keep kicking ass. Losing 14cm off the gut is awesome.

yeah man, you’re right, it has become a fucking obsession, and that aint healthy. You know, on the morning, after my weight session i found an old log, and damnn, i used to do working sets of BB row with 40kg for 5 reps!!!, i remember those sets were so heavy, i was doing super heavy singles with only 120kg on DL, i was squatting 80kg, i could barely BP 60kg, well the point is that i’ve improved a lot, good things take some TIME to come, but they get to you. i’ll just keep fighting, i think i got it under control, it’s just a matter of time.

thanks for all the support dude.

though i’ve been progressing a lot i won’t deny that it has been HELL!!, the boredome of doing the same workout week after week was killing me, i neede a bump, a change, a boost, so i decided to temporally change of program.

what did i choose you’ll ask, well i choosed a Hepburn program (no i’m not crazy, i just want to lift heavy for a while), Hepburn “B” program to be more specific, i’ve done it before, and it worked, so i’ll put my trust in it. (yeah if i feel like i can’t keep on with the program i’ll change it, so don’t worry).
