Clinical! But a well detailed diet. I wont give you diet advise because you seem to have your head around it.

However you could rest allot more, can't go wrong with "train like a maniac, eat like a horse and sleep like a baby"

Sleep and rest are just as important as the training if not more to allow your body to recover and grow.

Good luck :grin:

Welcome to the board :grin:

Thought I might make an online journal to better track my progress to meet for my goal on the 6th of Jan 2009. hope its alright posting here, no other popular nz bb forums I've found

Have to ask.. why specifically January 6th?

Looks like you're well underway, so good luck with this :nod:

April 3rd shot, progress photos on the to do list.

Looking good

its exactly 18 weeks starting tomorrow, which is the start of my cycle.. It was originally for new years but 18 weeks is a better number

I use reactiv stuff, its cheap as and its supporting a NZ business so I'm all for that.

I haven't noticed much gains on HMB so far, but I've been sick a few times this winter and its hindered my progress. Theres meant to be a few clinical tests that have shown to stop over training and helps to put on more size. (2-3 pounds over 3 months)

Day 1: Chest and Inner calves

Flat Bench: 60x8+, 70x6-, 70x3-

DB Incline: 25x12+, 27.5x9-, 27.5x7-, 27.5x5-

Smith flat: 15x12+, 15x12+, 17.5x10+ (drop set 10kg flies innerpec 5 rep)

cable incline flies: 10x10+, --------- 15x6-, 15x6-

DB incline flies: --------- 10x10+ ----------

First day back after 2 weeks being sick, so can't complain to much. Strength drop across the board but I think that will rectify after a week of healing. Was amazing how worked my triceps and front delts were after a workout i geared not to use them, ohwell u move on.

next week plan:

Flat Bench: 60x10, 70x8, 80x6, 90x5 (cluster set)

Incline Bench: 50x10, 55x8, 60x6, 65x5(cluster)

Flat DB press: 25x12, 27.5x10, 30x8, 30x6

Incline Flies/Pulovers: ??

Looking to redo my chest regime for straight size for the next 6 weeks so this will probably change.

Inner calves:

40x20, 50x15, 55x15

Easing in to calves, do outers later on this week, back to both twice a week next week.

How do you specifically target the inner/outer calves? Toes in/toes out kinda thang?

[tii]

sorry ment lower, upper calves

did seated today

[poos_n_wees]

Ahhh.. gotcha.

Day 2: Back and abs

Deadlifts: 10x50+, 10x60+, 10x60+ (warmup)

Wide BB rows: 10x60+, 10x70, 8x75, 6x75 (Power)

Chins: 10x90lb+,8x75lb+,8x60lb/, 5xfree- (Power)

Close grip pulldown: 12x49,10x56,8x63,7x63 (tension)

Cable rows: 12x42, 10x49, 10x56 (squuezze)

T-bar rows: 10x20kg, 8x30kg (stretch)

All in all quite afew sets, however DL and T-bar were low intensity focusing more on stretching. Still not 100% with strength was hoping to hit 80-82.5 for rows but next week I should be there.

Since I'm trying to work on thickness for summer I might start doing heavy T-bar rows instead of chins. Had to run off to work so no abs, did misc work at home.

Day: 4 Shoulders

bb shoulder press: 10x50+ 10x55+ 6x60/

db shoulder press: 12x21+, 10x22.5+ 7x25/

side laterials: 10x10+, 10x10+, 10x10/

Was abit of a mush workout... had to run off to soccer plus friend just signed up so I ended up talking through afew things...

I'm gonna drop all my weights down to 6-8 over the next 6 weeks, think its better suited for mass for me. Still not 100% with strength but next week I'm looking to hit 27.5 for 8 and 30kg for 4 on db press

[biggurl27]

did shoulders last night with light tricep

db shoulder press: 25x10, 27.5x8, 28x7 (gonna go for 30's next week)
