Hey all! Finally getting around to making this log! I will be logging my workouts and nutrition as best as possible and welcome any feedback anyone has!
I decided to join this challenge because, well, i’m a fat ass and i’m sick of it!
A little background:
17 yrs old
Been training seriously for a year, before that, just yoyo dieting and “Beachbody” workouts that never got me anywhere.
I have stayed on 5/3/1 BBB the whole time, except for 2 months where i did GVT 5/3/1.
Stats:
5’11’’
210lb
Goals for this Challenge:
180lb at by June 1st.
6:30 mile - I cant even run a damn mile atm!
Today was my first workout in nearly 3 weeks as i was in Australia with no way of training. So i just took it easy and did a bunch of random stuff, low energy as my jetlag seems to have kicked in, which is convenient.
Training:
OHP - 5 sets of 10 @ bar
3 sets of 5 @ 65
1 set of 5 @ 85
Superset:
Dumbell bench w/40 x 10
25lb Plate raise x 10
Did that 5 times
3x10 facepulls @ 10
Today i just felt like doing deadlifts and as my 5/3/1 cycle starts next week i decided to do some heavy deads. My jetlag is still real bad so it was another low energy workout. Looking forward to getting at least 12 hours of sleep tonight to get rid of the tiredness!
3x5 @ 135
1x3 @ 185
1x3 @ 225
1 @ 275
1 @ 315

Random stuff:

3 x10 fat grips curl with 45lb bar
8 mins of boxing bag work for a finisher of sorts.
Food:
Breakfast: 3 pieces bacon, 3 eggs, 1 tomato, 1/2 avocado
2 Scoop protein w/water
Lunch: beef stroganoff, 1/2 avocado
Supper: 6 oz slow cooked beef w/ 2 cups green beans
Had 2 handfuls of trail mix and a 5 candies throughout the day, gotta learn to stop doing that.
Love seeing more and more people in this challenge. Good luck fella! Trust me when I say, giving up candies was VERY tough. I gave up sugar a few months ago and oddly enough, I started craving doughnuts and cookies hardcore, when I was never a fan. It’s doable and best cold turkey. You got this and I will enjoy following!

I’ve been getting weaker in OHP, plus my BBB sets have become progressively worse for form - most of last weeks sets were ugly push presses, so i’m resetting. From now, my TM is going from 110 to 95. I would appreciate feedback on this - if my BBB sets are becoming to hard, i assume i should reset. Or should i push on, and work up to going to failure in those sets?
Forgot to log training for Tuesday. I didn’t do any because i rolled my damn ankle about 30 mins before during gym. Thought it was gonna be OK if i just gave it an hours rest but i couldnt even walk on it and had to miss my favorite day, heavy deadlifts. Not cool…
Woke up this morning and could barely put any weight on it, but its got waay better since then and I’m anticapting doing at least my 5/3/1 sets tonight. Guess we’ll see how it goes…
