hi all, gonna start a new training log to try give me more motivation to gym ;x

i use to gym quite alot but been lazy as f*ck lately, last year mid-way i was roughly sitting around 100 ~ 103 kgs, now im comfortably sitting @ 114-116 kgs. thou i've gained huge amount of fat around my waist area & around my chest area too :grin:

Current stats: (26/02/12)

Age: 20

Height: 6''2

Weight: 115 kgs

Body Fat: estimate 16 - 18%?

Bench: 140kg (04/12)

Squat: 140kg for reps (sometime last year, haven't tried 1RMs yet)

Deadlift: 210kg (sometime last year)

sometime last year = like 1-3 weeks before i got lazy

i've noticed a HUGE decrease in my strength since the last time, i can't even squat 120kg for reps anymore, can't deadlift 140kg for reps, im benching kinda the same thou as last time, i think alittle more, maybe my weight increase compensated for the loss of strength.

i've only trained legs twice this year btw, (2 weeks ago & on friday this week :oops:), and calves haven't since like 3-4 months ago :oops:

Last time i trained legs seriously was roughly last year in oct - nov ish. This is how lazy i've gotten to go gym, hoping making this journal is gonna motivate me, but we'll see :grin:

Anyway my goals this year:

- hover around 12-14% body fat, maybe cut to 9/10% for the kicks during summer

- 110kgs with 12-14% body fat

- literally just wanna look big & lean at the same time, none of this aesthetics skinny look bullshit (no offensive), just looks ugly to me :nod:

might just go straight onto a bulking phase, but at the same time, im gonna do 5x5 with my main compound movements (bench, deadlifts, squats etc) to get some strength back, and maybe rotate it every 4 weeks or so.

anyway, i'll log my first training session tomorrow. hope this goes well.

got any goals for this year in terms of strength?

yeah, im hoping to beat my PB's from last year.

1RM's

Deadlift - 210 => 240 - 250+kg

Squat - never tried 1RM's but hoping to hit around 165 - 180ish

Bench - 135 => 150kg

^ just the main lifts i wanna increase in 1RM's

don't really mind my shoulder press, or any olympic lifts

when? doesn't really matter to me, as long as its sometime this year.

Hi Riley. Good on you for getting back into it. You might be a bit higher BF% than you think, but your goals are definitely achievable. :)

thanks, & ouch, yeah, really went down hill for the past 2-3 months :x

should be a nice challenge thou (:

man

been busy, and lazy to record my workouts.

anyway did chest / tris today

tried 1rm on bench, caped @ 140kg, failed @ 142.5kg

been having shit sleep lately, 5-6 hrs sleep since friday (after my graveyard shift)

today, all i ate was 8 fish fingers w/ 4pieces of bread, then i did gym @ 6pm. probably worst time to try my 1RM but im pleased @ 140kg. especially the state i was in.

then ordered pizza after my workout :grin:

Monday 26th of March; German Volume Training (GVT) - start date
