Missed ab circuit as I had to rush as well as any bag work. My shoulders hurt and are tender to touch. I am pissed off at only getting 2 reps on 100kg I thought I had 4+ in me. The bar was moving slowly off the boards and then rocketing up. I realy need to work out a way to build my strength off the chest! I cant feel my lats in my bench anymore and need to work out how to get leg drive in the lift, I think these two points alone will boost my bench. Im slowly getting on top of my diet again but things are still hectic. May switch to inclines next week or floor press, not too sure either that or go for a 5kg PR on the 2 board.

Have a good day!

Eating has been great the last two days. I may pop into the gym and do tomorrows lowerbody session and the ab work from yesterday. My biceps are as sore as hell! My back was sore yesterday as well but seems to be fine today. I ate 6 meals yesterday and a large amount of milk. If I manage to keep this up I should get a nice jump in strength and body weight. Im looking to finish the year at around 13stone or 84kg.

ME lower

Realy fancied doing rack pulls…So I did

Lunges

70kgx4-PR- would have gone for 6 and then for 80kg but was way too wiped out.

Shrugs
140kgx6
160kgx6
180kgx4-left it here as I stumbled back and knew nothing good would come from PR chasing today.

Body feels beat up from today and yesterday. Im confident Im getting stronger thought. Looked through my old training log books and noticed I used to write pull the bar apart on bench days across the top of the page. I have not been pulling the bar apart so maybe this has effected my strength off the chest? only one way to find out. Il check that on friday. Im going to spend the next few days stuffing my face and see how my body is feeling. None of todays weights felt heavy but I was just too tired and too sore, I think.

Have a good day!

Came up with the idea of getting two weeks worth of training into one week as Im having next week off for obvious reasons. At 2am this morning I could not sleep and had alot on my mind so I decided to go for a run… I hate running…About 20mins in I felt a sharp pain in my right hip flexor.

I also have a large bruise across the bottom of my abdomen were the board stuck in when I had to roll the bar off my self. I hate being injured but its all part of the experience of getting stronger.

Feeling beat up and sore. I am looking forward to the rest and coming back heavier and stronger. Some great PR’s to finish this little stint before Christmas. Felt great when the strap snapped, made me feel like a beast lol. My appetite is going through the roof at the moment. So im going to eat my 7th meal of the day and finish some more milk before sleep.

Have a good day!

called it as I had to rush off. My strength is down but I expected that with the weight loss. Everything felt light in my hands but the ability to rep wasnt there. Will sort this fast. I cant wait for my orders to arive so I can speed up the weight gain.

Have a good day!

My order of Met-Rx size up has just been delivered. There is over 8kg which should help with the extra calories. Im alittle sore today from yesterday which I didnt expect but its all part of the fun. Cant wait to squat tomorrow.

called it here was wiped out. The squats felt heavy but moved like speed sets. Feeling good so far. 2lb up in body weight so far. Alot still to add.

Have a good day!

Last parcel was delivered today. It contained my 11mm thick double prong powerbelt, straps, drink shaker and 8x2oz blocks of shalk.

Last night I went out to a chinease. I came back weighting 3lb heavier than when I went out. I was seriously bloated. My body is sore today from yesterday. I cant wait to get back into the gym. Next week I may add in an extra lowerbody day to hit front squats and stiff leg deads. My abs are sore today but thats to be expected as I never train them.

Have a good day!

Rackpulls(same as last time)
worked upto 260kgx1. was going to go for 280kg+ but tore a callus on my ring finger on my left hand.

Called it. I really need to get my strength back to were it was and above. Used my new belt on rackpulls and it felt miles better. Didnt push the upperbody work today will slowly add more weight. Body weight is up another lb. Im away this weekend and will be eating alot of junk food and hopefully still work in a few shakes. Hopefully il put on another couple of lb this weekend. Once I hit 330kg on this pin for rackpulls, I will slowly increase the ROM until its an inch or so below the knee.

Just weighed in another 3lb heavier. Feeling good. Will not be training until tomorrow due to some sad information I recieved yesterday.

Have a good day!

Im up 7lb in body weight in 2 weeks. Its good to be growing again. Neglected upperbody so it needs some good work.

Have a good day!

Have u been lifting?

Not since rack pulls the other day. As I said on that post I wasnt going to train till this week but I havent been well at all so Im not sure I can train this week. I will spend the future focusing on shoulder strength as well as front squats and getting closer to pulling a decent deadlift. My lower back is still alittle sore to be honest. When I bench I probably wont take a weight to my chest in a while but we shall see. Il put my new template im working out up soon when Iv tweaked it alittle more.

On an up note it looks like I will have time soon to start either kickboxing or mauy thai. I cant wait to be honest.

Have a good day!

Oh, I see.

Actually T-Nation was being retarded, and only showed posts from you up to the 28th of december. So I thought you hadnt posted since then.

My apologies.
