Hey everyone.
This log is just to keep in check with my current training and hopefully provide me some motivation to continue training.
Some stats:
Age: 16
Weight: about 154 or so pounds
Height: 5’8-5’9 depending on who you ask
Years training: 1.5
Lifts:
Squat: recently converted to low bar squats so don’t know max yet but last workout was 110kg x 3 sets of 5 (140kg x5)
Deadlift: 130kg x 5 (180kg x5)
Bench: 70kg x 6 (90kg x5)
Press: 50kg x 5 (70kg x5)
EDIT: Goals have been posted in brackets above
I’m definitely still a beginnger, with the goal in mind of building strength and kicking ass in life.
I don’t follow a specific program, and as a student my schedule is constantly changing, but I currently do something along the lines of:
Monday - golf practice
Tuesday - Squat day (w assistance work)
Wednesday - upper body, bench and press
Thursday - off
Friday - deadlift and other pulling
Sat - æ?£æ?? (loosely translated = free fighting), a form of martial arts in China (where I live)
Sun - usually golf or off
I’d appreciate any comments or advice (or anything really).

Today was a lousy ass day, I didn’t feel it the whole session. I just got a new membership at a gym quite near my house, so that’s good, it’s got punching bags and all. Pretty sick. But there’s no squat rack, so that blows. Pressing 50kg for 5 reps was definitely a PR for me, over the 4 reps i got last session. Overall pretty excited about training again.
Meals:
Breakfast - 5 eggs, banana, mixed veggies
Lunch - Lamb, fried rice, romaine lettuce salad
Dinner - Mystery meat, bean soup and veggies
Post workout - 2 scoops whey
9/24
Off - light golf practice
Meals:
Breakfast - 5 eggs, a quarter of a yam (was kind of rushed)
Lunch - apple (didn’t get to eat), ate later on in the day: about 12 oz chicken breast, rest of the yam from morning
Dinner - mung bean soup with rice (asian as it gets), pork and veggies. also this noodle thing that’s made out of beans.
9/25
Deadlift
135x2 (fail on 3rd) PR
132.5x2 (fail on 3rd)
Clean + 6 Front Squats
60x1 set
70x3 sets PR
Handstand practice
Today was an okay session. There was a lifting coach there who coached me on the clean and deadlifts, so that was pretty cool. He didn’t let me drop the weights straight-up though, which kinda sucked because that’s what I’m used to anyway.
On the 135 in the deadlift I was going for 5, so only 2 reps was pretty shitty. PR though, because I’ve never actually attempted 135. Could be just a mind game. Will get it next time though.
