Training Logs
1

Couldnt think of a better title for my thread, so this will be another one added to the mess of a million other training logs, i’ve been posting my workouts in the brotherhood of iron thread for awhile now and will continue reading and adding to it every so often…

I’m hoping with this thread not only too put in my daily diet and training regime but also add what happens to me on a day to day basis

well i better get too the introduction

Im 20, around 6’2, last time i weighed myself(last week) i was 104.4kg, my bodyfat is waaay to high my numbers are

bench 140kg
deadlift 200kg
squat 125kg(yes this is the one lift i struggle with, however now im focusing more on front squats)
front squat 70kgx3

my current goals are

bench 180kg
incline bench 120kgx5
deadlift 250kg
front squat 100kgx5

I’m currently a student at latrobe university in bundoora and also working part time at the local target. In two weeks time i’ll be starting my first cut and hope to get down to about 10% bodyfat, i’ll post more details of my cut in the following days whilst uploading photos, and more backstory about me

thank you for reading my blog and hope that you enjoy it, also welcoming advice, comments and questions

cheers

  • at my gym they currently have a competition going, since there are only 2 other people above 100kg, i thought i’d give it a go, and according too the trainers they reckon i have anyone above 90kg beat…i didnt really go all out and went up and down fairly slowly. they want me too attempt the squat competition i have to use my bodyweight so will be doing 105kg, judging by how low there making people go i could easily rep 50 times, i make sure to go ass to calf these are barely half of that

130x5

behind the neck military press

40kgx5x4

  • was pretty unhappy with this however i felt a pain in my shoulder and didnt want to push it too hard, i need to build the strength up in my shoulder joints

lat pull down

100kgx8x2
80kgx12

standing dumbbell tricep extension

10kgx8
15kgx8x3

  • pretty happy with this the first time i’ve done them, may work them into my program

dumbbel curls

17.5kgx8x3

  • pretty easy just havent done much bicep work in the past fortnight so wanted to ease back into it

whilst working out i took in 50grams of BCAA’s, kinda makes me feel queasy when working out, might cut it down to 30grams

saigon - breathe thru the years

– fucking pissed off i missed this, and honestly its causing me to be depressed, i got this down to my chest controlled then on the way back up about 1/2 way my spotter had to help pull it up, NOT HAPPY

behind the neck military press

40kgx8
42.5kgx5x3

-my right shoulder hurts when i push back up for about an inch, i beleive its because i havent done any overhead work in a long time and need to build the strength back up, either way ill probs get physio on it too help, as there is only ever pain when i do overhead pressing

80kgx8

  • my back was pretty tired by the point

front dumbbel raises

12.5kgx8
12.5kgx6x2

then did a bunch of pushdowns…

i think im going to have to do alot more tricep work, to help get my bench up, since im just over a week away from doing a cut i may just chalk it up to a loss…

starting my cut tommorow, pretty much the only things allowed in my mouth are green tea, water, protein powders - Metabolic Drive, syntha 6, Spike tablets, fish oil, physillum husks, eggs, tuna, Z-12, HOT-ROX, multi vitamin, the odd diet coke, bcaa powders I’m pretty sure I’m missing an item…but this is it in a nut shell. full body workouts 3 times a week, cardio 4 times a week, i’ll take some photo’s tonight and hopefully it all goes well

10

well first day of my cut is coming to a close, it was interesting, i’ve added some other foods which have 0 carbs and high in protein and some fats, my workout was shit house i’m not even going to bother posting it i’m that taken aback by it

ok today as it stands at 8.41pm i have consumed

grams cals %total
Total: 1859
Fat: 98 880 49%

Mono: 33 295 16%
Carbs: 59 166 9%
Fiber: 17 0 0%
Protein: 187 747 42%

i think im going to have to add a chicken breast at around lunch and look into something else to eat as the majority of my cals from fat are coming from fish oil…

ok today i tried hot rocks for the first time, wow first one didnt really do much then the second one i took 5 hours later before i started work lol this one definatly kicked in, helped with the hunger pains and tired feeling, had 3 glasses of green tea amounting to just over a liter during the AM, have had 3 liters of water…just trying Metabolic Drive low carb for the first time now, tastes great…will have to order a few more tubs of it on wedsnesday…nothing but good words for Biotest australia…i took pictures there on my phone i will upload them as soon as i buy a bluetooth dingle tommorow… until then see ya

11

slept like shit last night, only got 6 hours…will drag my ass too gym to do some cardio in the next half hour and i’ll post my diet later tonight

edit: as soon as i posted this the power went out at my house, was raining and lightening…i got to my gym to find that the power hand gone off there aswell, so i went to a gym about 10 minutes away…realized i didnt have my wallet when i got there so had to drive home grab my wallet then drive back and it cost me $20 not happy…did 40 minutes on the treadmill

12

Carbs: 21 73 3%
Fiber: 3 0 0%
Protein: 311 1244 51%

using fitday to calculate my calories, feeling a little bit better tonight as opposed to during the day

i’ve upped my intake of HOT-ROX too 4 tablets a day 2 in the morning 2 in the afternoon, tommorow ill see how i go with 6…im finding with HOT-ROX its more of a chore too eat as opposed too normally,

well thats my intake as of 7.57pm today, dont think ill have anymore food today, its been a long ass day

50 of those grams of carbs came from the gatorade i was consuming during working out, really helped with my mood and workout intensity. im pretty sure ill continue having gaterade as it helps with the dizzyness and general feeling, i couldnt help myself so i jumped on the scale checked my weight was 101.5, im assuming the majority of this weight drop was from eating less

todays intake, carbs are high as today was a training day and i had a Gatorade whilst working out which boosted the carbs by 50 grams, had a great workout today, best i’ve had in a week, saw the physio today for work on my shoulder, bench pressing numbers are down as i’ve been told to half the weight and half the volume on pressing exercises,

all is going well had a comment from my training partner that apparently im looking a little leaner, oh well hope everyone is enjoying the avi
