After the typical bro split I gave BBB a chance. Feeling and looking stronger than ever before. I’ve done 2 cycles and a deload week and after some health problems of a relative I’m about to start the third cycle.

Bench - 95 kg
Squat - 135 kg
Deadlift - 155 kg
Press - 75 kg
As I couldnt make it to the gym for a week until today and this week I dont have time enough to start 3rd cycle Im going to move some weights to get used to it again.
Today’s work out:
Bench (warm up series and bands)
5x65kg
3x75kg
3x80kg
8x60kg
Press
5x10 45kg
Rows ss lat pulldown
4x10 30kg/45kg
Nice pressing man! Im 16.
In for your log.
I wish 5/3/1 existed when I was 17. I did the typical bro split and trained 2-3 hours a day then thinking I’d be Arnold.
At your age you are primed for impressive gains and you are ahead of the curve because you are smart enough to squat and deadlift.
I also trained 2 hours/day 6 times a week and despite progressing I regret not having used a routine with basics since the start. However, welcome to the log and thanks man
Today my shoulder wasnt feeling good but after an exhausting day studying I was able to work out.

Since then I couldnt do anything. A relative passed away so I’ve been feeling like shit. At least she is now in a better place and I know that she will be looking after me. This week, if exams allow me, I’ll start again
A friend of mine came today to the gym for the first time so I helped him a bit. Its cool to have friends with same hobbies.

Nice! Keep up the good work man.
Definitely its going to be a hard week due to exams and studying but who cares. This template is just amazing, you seem to get stronger each workout and as soon as I leave the gym I want to get back to smash some PR’s.
Today’s workout:
Bench (warm up series)
3x65kg
3x75kg
AMRAPx80kg I got 9, smashing my old PR that was 7
Press

Close grip bench
3x10 60kg
Rows
5x10 30kg
Lat pull down

Had problems with 3x75kg set because my partner didnt load correctly the weight so I had less weight on one side and I felt it as soon as I unracked it. This made me feel less confident for the last set but I made it anyways
Thanks mate. I wont let you down for sure hahaha
What a great day today. Gym was full of people crushing weights and doing good stuff (an amazing thing for a commercial gym). I would like to die rather than having to study after working out but there isnt another option.
The work out:
Squat
3x90kg
3x100kg
AMRAPx110kg I got 8 reps
Deadlift
5x10 95kg
Abs wheel
3x10
I hate deadlifting at high reps
I’d love to compete but not now because Im not strong enough so its like a project for the future. Have you ever competed or have any advice for a teenager with a dream hahah?
i’m a teenager too and looking to compete in strongman sometime in the future. My advice is: keep training hard, eating and sleeping and working on your technique. soon enough you’l l be able to compete. Look around for competitions of people lifting similar weights to you, if there isn’t just focus on getting stronger.
