Bob's Training Log

Keep up the good work.

Have you been gaining bodyweight?

Im not sure actually guess im about 207 now, could check someday.

I have been heavier, I was like 220 2 years ago.
Hadent trained for long that time, had 38" waist and was chubby. This summer i was like 187 with 33" waist… Now i gained about 18lb and still have 33" waist :slight_smile: So in 3,4,5 years it maybe be good. The long term goal is to be like 220 in ok shape…

Having holiday now with the family so its difficult to eat as strict and train with this gear as normal (train at my partens house in the basement)… Well have to to the best out of it… Becouse im serious (at least I think so) having chicken , tuna and out meal when im on trips and everything…

Have some strenght goals this vinter, bench 5x286, deadlift 5x440 ,squat 5x330 … I now i suck in all of them , specially squat… So train legs harder now becouse I recon i have a loot to gain on them :slight_smile:

So if anyone have tips, about eating, training or anything else, I really would like hearing from you :slight_smile: Thats why i joined this great forum.

I also have a question about my rutine:
The chest/back day… is bench , deadlift, barbell row, chins, incline, flyes a good order of the exersices? Since bouth deadlift and bench is great exercises, who i bout like I want them first in my rutine. But its altso great to get the back workout finished before i start the chest work…
What would you guys do?

man that was a long reply…

Merry Christmas

Good workout.
Since i still have some pain in my biceps, i gonna drop the back and biceps work the next week. Guess im going for a chest,tri day insted of seperate workouts that week.

OK, change in planes… since my biceps still is in pain. Im going to take the whole week of.

Then just going to continue this split, since it have worked. Have had some progress.

After one week break, im still not sure if im ready to start working out again…

Its not pain in the arm all the day, but Its feel like its something, difficult to explain. so im not sure, eater take a week of, or train easy… not often i got injuries so not sure whats the right thing…

Ok, had 1 week easy training (that I logged), and took one week of. Was not sure if I should take start again or take more time of… well i tryed to train… A little bitt easier and dropped the biceps training… no need for risking anything.

Selected a other split I have used a loot before, and my plan is to use this 6-8 weeks, take a week of and go back to the 4 split I have used know… This is to splits i feel works for me.
