one of the hardest aspects of training is being consistant with your food .
everybody has off days its inevatable.

as long as the good days outweigh the bad you will be ok

Thanks for the comments guys! Well diet is way back on track today so i suppose that's a positive.

Todays session - legs/shoulders:

Squat
warmups
80kg - 20 reps. This was difficult but nothing majorly mind blowing, but still going to slowly cycle the weight up and hopefully a few months down the line i'll start squating a less embarrasing weight.

Leg press
110kg - 8, 10
130kg - 8

Leg extensions

35kg - 12,12, 11

Ham curls

20kg - 12, 10, 9

DB Shoulder Press

28kg - 8, 8, 7

BB Shoulder Press

55kg 6, 6
50kg - 8

Lat raises

10kg - 12, 12, 10

Decided to slightly decrease my DB Shoulder press to concentrate on slow stric reps and this worked really well my shoulders were really screaming at me. Both DB and BB Presses are done sitting down.

Thanks

Well yesterday was weigh day and shockingly i was still 13 stone 12. Really up for nailing the diet from now on.

Supposed to be training chest/triceps today but i'm still a bit sore off earlier sessions this week and i've got cold and bad throat. So i'm going to have an extra day off

Thanks

No need for DB and BB Shoulder Press Youngsta - they both hit the same muscles.

Looks like your hammies may be lagging from your numbers, which will affect your Squat.

Youngster · 17-04-2008, 10:24 PM

Yea the whole legs are lagging Tall!

To update:

Training going well and diet has been brilliant. Weight today was 14 stone 2, which is the heaviest i've ever been. Only 12 more pounds to go until i re-evaluate what i'm going to do i.e. Continue bulking or cut.

Thanks

Try Box Squats instead of normal squats, and alternate SLDL and Ham Curls each week.

Youngster · 18-04-2008, 03:39 PM

Yeah i will probably give those a whirl Tall thanks!

Todays session was Legs and Shoulders

This really zaps the energy out of me!

Squats 85kg 20 reps I decided to increase by 5kg instead of 2.5kg because my training partner said last weeks squats looked too easy. Anyways this wasnt too bad, difficult yes, but form stayed good. I will continue to increase by 2.5kg from now on.

Leg Press

160kg - 12, 12, 10

Leg extensions

40kg - 12 10 9

Ham Curls

25kgs - 12, 11, 10

DB Shoulder Press

27.5kg - 10

30kg - 7, 6

27.5kg - 7

Lat Raises

10kg - 12 10 10 8

I am really pleased with the way training is going. Constant Improvements

Thanks

Really need to start updating this a bit more.

Since the last little upset with trying to keep my diet on track, it has been excellent. (I just wish i knew the importance of diet when i first started lifting) But anyways training has also been great and have definatley put size on. Might even get some pics up soon to keep track of my progress.

Was back biceps day yesterday and got a HUGE (for me) Deadlift PB. I done 3 sets of 6 at 162.5kg. I done this by accident. I put the 10kg plates on instead of the 5kgs and didnt relise until after 2 sets. (No wonder my eyes were nearly popping out of my head). So absolutley chuffed with that and i'm so sore all over today which feels great.

Weight today is 14 stone 2, (first thing on empty stomach) which is not an increase but is pretty much the first week where i havent gained any weight so not too worried about that. 198lbs... just a couple more pounds and i've hit the 200 mark

Thanks
