Go hard or go home

Naos

Okay my last fitness thread has been lost and I'd prefer to keep it that way as it was pretty abismal. I'm doing this one properly though...

I'm male, 83kg and 5' 10". Ideally I'd like to get to around 80kg, losing bodyfat but increasing muscle. I have pics but am not brave enough to put them up just yet! So I'm going to post both my diet and training here in order to make me stick to it.

All weights start from the bar and I add weights up until I get to the 'max' sets. All are in Sets x Reps x Weight.

If anyone has any suggestions to changes in my diet / training please don't hesitate to advise/critise - all feedback welcome.

How long did you spend training on Monday like 3.5 hours?

It would appear to me you are eating far too little. Thats probably why the DOMS is so bad.

pvt.joker

All the best with your new log.

The doms i'd put down to just getting back into training, bound to hit you if you've been away from it for a while. I was getting bad ones till I started taking RAM after a session. Maybe give it / that Recovery stuff a try?

Yeah about that. I want to lose fat too though - but will take that into account!

Yeah I was off for a month or so but still came back able to lift near what I was lifting, so I probably wasn't pushing myself hard enough last time. I'm feeling much better today anyway!

And my RAM and more Whey came yesterday so I've got that for PWO now

I'm dropping weight in squat and DL as I felt my form was way off.

Diet was good during day, then had went to town and had a fair few pints!

Diet was pretty crap today tbh, even got a dominos. After 5 days of 'good' eating and then today, I realise how much better about myself eating healthy and have decided to bring my own lunch to work now everyday.

Nice work yesterday B, twas good to see you again!!

You say you had an excellent work, but you forgot to mention that you managed 90kg x 6 (a PB) and then 100kg x 2 on the bench!! You had a great session, well done, particularly on your bench but also with everything else. I'm glad we could be of help, although I don't think I really showed you anything...I was too busy showing off!!

I can't wait for you to see TF now, I'm gonna ask D about those passes when I see him next!!

Naos

Haha thanks L, great having a spotter on the bench! I really did learn a lot and put it into practise straight away today

And you helped bigtime with my barbell row, was really concious of my hand being tight today and did the trick!

Yup sweet I look forward to it, even without the passes I'll pop over in a few weeks, probably when my SS is nearing an end!

Today:

Squats: 3 x 5 x 80kg
Missionary Press: 3 x 5 x 50kg
Barbell Row: 3 x 5 x 50kg
Chins: 2 x 8
Incline Abs: 3 x 10 x 25kg
Shrugs 3 x 8 x 80kg

Malteaser!

I meant to ask you yesterday, how was your body feeling after the session?? Were you sore heading into the gym yesterday?

Military Press perhaps?

Unless you're pressing with a cross:D

I was okay actually. Was a little sore in the morning as had trained day before and not used to consecutive sessions. But I was fine when I got in there and warmed up. Last night I was pretty exhausted though!

Lol Al. Thanks for that!

Today:

Benchpress: 3 x 5 x 90kg
Squat: 3 x 5 x 80kg (Deep )
Deadlift: 1 x 5 x 100kg
Dips: 2 x 8 x 20kg
Bicep Curls: 3 x 8 x 20kg
Incline abs: 3 x 10 x 22.5kg

Everything seemed to go really smoothly today. My improved form (thanks Malt & Hanley) seems to be working, although I'd still like to do more work on my Deadlift as not 100% on that.

Malteaser!

*hint, hint, hint*

Naos

Lol! I'll keep working on it and watching videos online - then come up to ye two in a month or so and have it nailed, mark my words

Malteaser!

There was nothing actually *wrong* with what you were doing the last day. What you tended to do was stiff leg them, so imo that's the biggest thing to work on. It almost seemed as though your legs were straight before the weight had even moved so you were missing out on a load of leg drive. Tbh I think it will just come to you with some more practice...you know what you're supposed to be doing at this stage. We're only down the road if you ever need a hand.

Naos

Cheers L, will keep an eye on it!

Good session, weight slipped from my feet when doing dips which threw me off though

Pleased with my bench and DL. Am chasing a 120kg bench and 3 plate DL within 6 weeks.
