Ok, today I didn't feel quite 100%. I was woken by my alarm for work, even though I didn't even have work. \:D/ Also I never seem to have the best week of training, post hitting the piss on the weekend. When I had a personal trainer I'd hit PB's every week expect for the weeks where I'd hit the piss. Skipped the gym yesterday as wasn't feeling great so I hit chest today.

Any way, hit chest feeling little weak.

Really disappointed with this, last off season, I was able to bench 120kg for 12 reps with zero assistance :cry:. I guess I can't expect my strength to be back after only 3 weeks of bulking. (even though my weight is up there with less bodyfat \:D/ )

Diet was a little shit today, as had to wait around for my cars indicators to be fixed after hitting the gym.

Diet

First thing:

Double shake

banana

7 eggs

1cup oats cooked

chop chop 36grams

brown rice

Pre work out shake

5g creatine

shake banana

Pre work out V drink :oops: (better the nothing)

triple serve shake

two protein scoops of dextrose

(as recommended my luigi)

5g creatine

Chilled out waiting on my car, I had a can of chopchop but didn't want to eat with my fingers. :oops:

Ate half a pack of rice cakes for some carbs

2 hours latter once car was ready, went round to a friends house. Ate my chop chop an the other half of the rice cakes packet.

Once home I had shake an banana for some emergency quick fuel.

Feeling I had neglected my diet I ate 600grams of prime mince an a decent pile of rice. (force fed the second half)

Chop chop

brown rice (now 8:40pm)

Before

Double serve shake

Early hours morning shake double.

Spent $350 at the supermarket today, dam shits getting expensive.

I must make an effort to work on my sleep hygiene. I have a bad habit of speeding my last waking hours on the computer, which get me a bit over stimulated. I should probably get some decent books to read before bed. :pfft: I should also work on my personal hygiene an have a shower every few days :pfft: (joke)

[poos_n_wees]

I was woken by my alarm for work, even though I didn't even have work.

Lol I hate that!!

Good work on the training, I'm sure your strength will come back soon enough Btw, what the hell is the man in your avatar lying in? Sammiches?

oh and i thought you were on the dole ? you got a job now ?

[boostinggtir]

I've lost lot of strength from doing super high rep work for about 6 months, 30,25,15 reps. Next week I should able to move 100kg for at least 8 reps (I hope) I managed that weight at a friends house around 2months ago on a cutting cal intake. That's why I was so shocked

I've decided that if my Im not stronger then I was last season, in 2 months time, I'll do a 5by5 program. As that's what took me from 80 to post 100kg bench last year. (it was a 6 week program, 5 sets for 5 reps, having a spotter is critical imo) Recommend to all looking to build a strength base. :grin:

No I don't have a job as jobs are for chumps. 8)

I think I put on a little size from it. Though the purpose is to build strength not size, it gives you a great strength base to build size off, if you know what I mean.

[Luigi]

what ? nah i mean have you put on more size doing high rep stuff than low rep stuff, i know low reps is more for strength but have you put on more size doing high reps or just cut up more ?

[boostinggtir]

o as in the 30,25,15 reps stuff, Thats a tough one, I guess I've put on a little size from it. Even though I was on a low cal diet at the time. It's hard to tell where I've put on size but I definitely had more body fat last time I was 98kg, last year.

[gazza]

i've never done more than 20 rep sets before but noticed that when i cycled high reps for a few months then dropped back to low reps(6-8) the strength gains rocketed and then after a couple of weeks the bodyweight would go up. haven't done this in ages though. i tend to do a mix now

Training today was good.

I always took the third set beyond failure by incorporating drops sets. Dorian Yates style Crazy pump. Tris sore from hitting them with drop sets yesterday. Upper chest sore too. I'm now stepping my eating a knotch by eating double chopchop most of the time. (this isn't over killed right) I'll also start having 2 red meat meals a day. It's time to grow. (probably get fatter two)

2 questions

Should I be seperating leg an back, ie not hitting back the day after lega since the are two lage body parts?

Also

Is hitting back after doing biceps not going to be ideal? Since your bi also works hard on a back days. Last week I didn't even hit bi's but they were sore from been worked during back.

Pics coming soon. :pfft:

[Luigi]

yea i try not to hit back after bis just like you wouldnt hit chest after tris.

and nice eating man! my diets been boring as lately. need to spice it up a bit or buy some junk food but dont really like the taste of it anymore.

and see you doin similar amount of sets to what i do 20-odd i hear lots of people say its too many what are your thoughts ?

[boostinggtir]

Thanks man, um Well I'm doing roughly 10 sets perbody part on this train. To be honest I don't really know what works for me or what dosns't yet, as I've have only for just over a year now. Also when I was bulking I had a personal trainer, an all that was requird from me was just to showup give in my all an good home. Now I'm just starting to learn for my self.

I got to admit over training is definitly on my mind, I had some awsome gains with my personal trainer an I don't recall my tri every been sore like they are now, in saying that though my most of my gains so far would have been newbie gains. I assume I need to smash my body alot more to get new groth. I guess only time will tell.

I might get another personal trainer yet.

[boostinggtir]

Good work on the training, I'm sure your strength will come back soon enough Btw, what the hell is the man in your avatar lying in? Sammiches?

Thanks. he's lying in McDonalds lol
