Fair point Cal - I certainly wouldn't advocate training like that all the time - although a friend I sort out does but he's more bothered about shape and symetry than pure bulk, as I've said many times I think you need to keep mixing it up. And there's no doubt 27 years in I have a fair idea how my body responds to different stimuli.

THS - yep you have the frame to hang a lot of muscle off - 265 leanish ie abs out should be very achievable in a few years with good diet and hard work.

265 with abs showing + two tickets to the gun show would be quality.

TH&S
I'm not knocking your workout here, but I do have to question why you went so light on the leg press? A fella with your leg strength should be banging out double this for reps.

What was the thinking behind the weight selection?

Erm... *ahem* its all the gym goes upto... (ie you can't add extra plates on, its fixed like a lat pulldown machine)

I'm currently trying to 'workout' (sic) how to hang some plates off it.

Saying that the machine in my gym feels tougher than the plated ones I've used in the past.

Why not try single leg presses mate... im sure that stack be sufficient for a fair while yet that way.

Good thinking mate.

Ruddy rubbish back (Pull) workout. No need for the details.

Couldn't get my lower back loose

+ Was tired and demotivated

I know why this is which is even more annoying - working too much, staying up too late and I had some beers last night, and then slept in so haven't eaten on time.

Legs were still recovering from wednesday.

I'd tried a switch around to see if I got better results on my workout days which hasn't worked so I'm going to return to the old plan:

Mondays: Pull
Wednesday: Legs
Saturday: Push

This seems optimal for me in terms of recovery - hams are still recovering today from Wednesday which affected my deadlifting.

Ahhh fun and games.

Hi THS,
I wouldn’t worry to much mate you seem to know what’s up both very good points; good rest and nutrition are very important and you’re never going to dead lift well with recovering hamstrings. Have a good feed mate and not so much to drink, and honest I haven’t signed the pledge!
Cheers

haha yup you can't train very hard and enjoy the beer - it just impacts on your recovery time doh!
