    Holy Moly didnt realise id gone so long without updating this!

    Met with a nutrition fella who gave me a meal plan for 6 weeks, apparently I don't weigh enough to go full on dieting so he had me carb cycling instead.

    Went from 72kg down to 70.5kg, and from 19.5% bodyfat to 16.4%.
    Not too bad considering I was still going boozing/not sticking to the plan on weekends, I knew it wouldnt be a huge transformation in only 6 weeks but wanted to see where he would make changes in my diet.

    Done the same routine but added in a 3rd working set on his suggestion as he wanted to focus on getting nutrition/sleep/cholesterol and training output instead of just losing weight.

    I'd also fell off the wagon cardio wise but am slowly back into it now, up to 4 miles :o

    Current routine is Gym: Mon/Weds/Friday
    Jog: Tues/Thurs
    Circuits: Saturday (if I get a chance)

    Must get back into logging here!

    Lowered weight on deadlifts as grip has been an issue lately for some reason i cant figure out. Form much better as a result of lowering weight.

    Right havent updated this for a while (again) so summary for myself:

    December - Training went well, was increasing all weights (slowly), and particularly running had improved, last track session before xmas break managed 4x400m all below 1:50 after doing a 2.5 mile warm up and felt good.
    Diet was all over the place... and that was before the xmas binge! :o

    January - getting back into training routine, going with full body 3 days a week at the moment and trying to run 3 days a week as well... running has gotten tougher, whether due to the break or because im hitting legs 3 days a week now im not sure...
    Diet is getting better, still afew kg up on where I should be and abit bloated, but going back to nutritionist at end of month so just looking to get back into the healthy eating habit before then.

    Main issue at the moment is finding a training plan, body part split probably isnt the best but might be the only way to juggle with running 3 days a week

    Crippled today

    New program, 3 second negatives, 60 seconds rest between exercises....i was sweating b@lls after the squats and stiff legged deadlifts, used to a much longer rest! Hamstrings were bate... program apparently meant to go along with running and promote hypertrophy... it promotes DOMS so far

    Haha, brings back memories.

    3s eccentrics will leave you in a world of pain to start with.
