Waylander's Iron Journal

Back in the gym after a christmas break. Feeling very determined to get HYUUUGGGGEEEEEE!!!111, or at least over the 200lb mark, so I’m going to be buying shit loads of pizza and really regimenting my daily routine more (give me moar time to eat moar).

This is a come back session after taking a week off, due to refreshers week and my birthday, where i got horrifically drunk every night. So no surprise i felt weak and stalled today. didnt get time for power cleans and felt slight tendonitis in my thumbs when i cleaned the weight. Is there anyway to get past this? I want to keep cleaning because i fucking love it, but i don’t want the pain it gives my wrists and thumbs.

LMAO.

After I read a few posts on your log, looks like the lifts are all steadily increasing. Keep it up!

Cheers sam

Squats were very hard, and had to grind them out, might have to deload soon. Deadlifts felt good, even though the last rep was a bit of a grind. Time for a little review on my weight
Weight at christmas: 175
Current Weight: 192
Body fat has increased by about 2% (One notch up on the weight belt), so currently sitting at about 12%

17lb weight gain in 1 month aint too shabby.

Damn. Squatting your old max for 3X5 is legit as well. But if you are 6’2" 192 and squatting only 2 wheels you might be more than 12%. 12% is pretty lean. If you catch yourself in the right lighting at 12% you might mistake yourself for ripped.

FIND A DIFFERENT USER NAME JACK ASS!! WAYLANDER IS TAKEN BITCH ASS. HE’S BIGGER AND HE HAS MORE INTERNETZ FRENDZZ!!!

MODS COME ON SERIOUSLY!!!

Cheers fightingscott. Yeah I’m not too sure about my bf%, but it’s somewhere between 12 and 15%, even though my waist is still 32inches. The only ab definition i have is a line down the middle, but i doubt im genetically inclined to having ab definition.

Felt pretty good today, thought i would stall on the squat by i held together nicely. Cleans felt easy and press was a bit of a bitch. but a PR breaking session, now I can finally make some progress.

Bad workout, think I tweaked my back a bit, so my body/mind refused to coordinate my squats and I had to ditch the weight twice. Decided to give deadlifts a miss and do some back extensions to give a little bit of rehab.

Back extensions

My back still feels a bit tweaked. Also some twat asked to jump in on the set of deadlifts, and during a warm up set he told me that I shouldn’t be dropping the weight to the floor as i was missing half the work out LOL. I told him deadlifts are done that way and ignored him. He then decided to repair his shattered ego by loading 4 plates on each side and performing rack pulls with the bar, as if to show how it was done.

Back Rehab

I’m stopping doing squats and deadlifts for a while as these exercises just aggravate my back.
