Steve's First Log

It was so rough lol! I dont know why I do stuff like that to myself, I probably get the same effect just doing normal stuff but I guess it’s nice to challenge yourself,

Also I’m using the 6 week progression that tim hendriques(sp?) posted last week hence the 2 rep front squats.

Had a long lie in now I’m starving, going to hit up some eggs and red hot sauce then i’ve a busy day till boxing.

Sitting at 220g of protien, got at least 3 meals left probably more like 5 since it’s early.

5 meals left after hitting 220g protein… that’s my kinda diet

Yeah, need to gain weight!

Fighting in the heavyweights this season and I’m weighing a bit light so it’s eating time.

Also it’s murder trying to keep weight on with all the running/conditioning stuff.

Looking big and strong in your avi dude!

Never did bother with the PM session yesterday lol.

Today’s lunchtime session was a quick upper body blast as I was in a hurry.

Done in 10 min, ideal PM session apart from forgetting my chest and tri’s! Never mind.

First session in the new gym, I am very happy with it.

It’s just a warehouse with a whole bunch of barbells, racks, cages and strongman kit. Just what I need, there is nothing to distract me or take away from the important stuff (squat, dead, overhead, push press etc)

The one issue is the regulars recon that DBs are only for warm ups so they’re not very heavy, also they’re a pain about people training their arms. I’ll live.

Skipped on the normal Thursday workout to play with the kit I wouldn’t normally have.
