squatty's training log

Squatty · 10-06-2006, 11:40 AM

Hi guys. I'v been a member for a couple of weeks now and thought I'd start up a journal. Your comments and advice would be great.

I'm 46 years old, height 5ft 8 and weigh 86kg. Last time I had my bf checked it was down from 21 to 16.

I've been training since 1999 (although arsed about with some weights at home before then) but it's been since April 2005 that I've taken my diet seriously and recently have begun thinking about competing.

I train 6 days a week (Sundays off). Weekdays at 9am for up to 75 mins and on Saturday early afternoon for about an hour. At the moment I'm concentrating on bulking, so not doing much cardio.

Weekly Workout:

Monday: Back, Calves & Abs
Tuesday: Quads and triceps
Wednesday: Chest & Abs & 30 mins cardio
Thursday: Hams & biceps
Friday: Back, Calves & Abs
Saturday: Shoulders

I'm currently doing back and calves twice a week as they are my two weakest bodyparts

Diet:

Trying to manage between 4000 and 4500 clas a day. Diet pretty much the same every day,although not a chore. Two cheat meals a week; a cake on the way to work on Saturday and a takeaway for dinner on Sunday.

Typical Day:

Meal One (6.45am) Bucket of oats
Meal Two (8.45am) Protein Shake & 3 bananas
Meal Three (10.30) Tuna, Jacket Pot, brocolli & cabbage
Meal Four (12.00) Protein Shake
Meal Five (2.00) Chicken breast Rice & Salad
Meal Six (4.00) Jar of baby food or protein bar
Meal Seven (6.00) Chicken (or steakor liver), Jacket pot, Caulli, sprouts
Meal Eight (9.00) Jar of baby food
Meal Nine (10.30) Protein shake

Don't find the diet boring but sometimes struggle with the quantity

Have done two cycles in past year:

September 2005 for 9 weeks 350 of both test and trenbol
February 2006 for 8 weeks 350 of winnie

My trainer suggesting a cycle of tren only at 500 for 6 weeks starting in a couple of weeks.

Life's quite stressful. I have a son with autisum who is fantastic and demanding. I work as a therapist which is rewarding but can be draining.
Training keeps me sane!

Can't think of anything else to add as background. Have I missed anything out. Look forward to your feedback

Will post todays shoulder workout later

Good idea to go straight into a journal keep adding to it when you think its worth it like a weight change or routine change etc..

Yep doing weights helps me to keep focus in life etc!

Hmm baby food? Taste nice? Always wanted to try well seeing as I cant remember the taste of it!

The only ones I can get down me are the chicken and veg and beef and veg. All the fish ones have me heaving just opening the top; they smell like grandma's pants.

A mate reckons he's seen a jar of prunes and corn!

Well put a peg on your nose and close your eyes and just eat it!!!

You know if you got some shavings off a potato and an onion and sliced and diced them and covered your nose and ate them you could not tell the difference!!

Smell is the key to taste so no smell = no taste!

As a teenager, I was sent to Sister Hilda's Preparatory School for Reforming Delinquents and one of the punishments handed out for not eating your greens was to be locked in the laundry room with a peg strapped to your nose and be forced to lick matron's girdle.

I have no intention of ever fixing a peg to my nose again. There must be a less traumatising way of eating a jar of tuna and spinach baby food

Any advice here guys. I followed the instructions on Yahoo photos and made the photo file "public". Am I missing something?
