Training Logs

I’ve been switching up my routine too often to make any progress, and have had training add for a few years. I’ve made slow progress, but went from about 65kg to 87kg (143lbs, now close to 195lbs) in about 2 or 3 years. I know what my goals are, but i can never stick for long enough to achieve them. Intensity and consistency are always key to making progress, so this isn’t so much about the program as me trying to stick to it. Well, wish me luck!

I’m following the 4 day split, not because i don’t have enough time for the 6, but because the six day split is probs a bit advanced for me. I just wanna keep it simple

Ate too much before, try and cut back on pre-workout meals, or at least space them out. Don’t wanna throw up

11

Suggestion:
You shouldn’t be using the same weight for your exercises on all sets.
On today’s workout for your CGBP you went
50 X 15
50 X 15
50 X 15
50 X 15

If you got 50x15 for all of your sets you could have probably got 65 for 13-15 reps for your first set then dropped the weight for your second set (and so on) if you needed to. You are supposed to let the rep range you are lifting in dictate the weight you pick.

12

OK thanks man. I’m just trying to work out the weights i should be using, they are a bit easy for me, its just the rest periods that are annoying. I’ve never worked in this rep range before, i usually stick to lower rep stuff.

So I will increase the weight, i’m just testing to see where i’m at. No rush
