Gone squatting Member 12, 386 posts SQ 250, BP 155, DL 260665.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Thought its about time i start a log so here goes. Currently at 620kg total. 220 squat, 150 bench, 250 deadlift. My aim at the minute is to do a 650kg total at the BDF comp in January. My routine will look something like this, although i'm not totally set on it. Monday Bench Board Press T – Bar Rows DB Shoulder Press Tuesday Squats Deadlifts Abs Shrugs Thursday Front Squats Good Mornings Shrugs Abs Friday Close Grip Bench Push Press Weighted Chins Lat Pulldowns Bench is going to be 5x5 starting next Monday at 110kg. Board Presses will just be heavy singles I will go heavy on squats light on deads one week, then alternate them the next. I would prefer to do front squats / good mornings on Friday, but I also don’t want to have both upper body sessions in the morning (Mondays and Thursdays will be before work). Overall the plan is not ideal but because I want to continue with Judo and wrestling, I think it’s the best I can do. Any comments / ideas are welcome. | ||

Like you say it can't be perfect with your other commitments but I think you've done a pretty good job considering. What's this comp in January then? Haven't heard anything about it. Best of luck with the log. | ||

Basically you will need to get wedged for ditching sundays sessions, though i can understand the reasoning. If i was you, and i am f**king happy i am not, i would actually just train weights three times/week with a formula like 1. bench & rows, 2. squat & abs, 3. deads and board presses. Or even push on all three sessions. Your wrestling and MA work takes its toll, no escape from that. | ||

Gone squatting Member 12, 386 posts SQ 250, BP 155, DL 260665.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | why would you not want to be me? Sexy irish accent, aero-dynamic hairstyle, i look great in a singlet but best of all North West Chomp. Oh and i'm stronger than you fatty. Training three days a week may be more beneficial, but i just couldn't do it. I love lifting and to be honest i would be in there every day if i thought i could get away with it. But i'll see how the training goes, i may swap some of the exercises around. | ||

We share the aerodynamic hairstyle and weird accent, though it will still be few years before i can claim to be north west chomp! Originally posted by Adam... Training three days a week may be more beneficial, but i just couldn't do it. I love lifting aye good point. Not the first time love becomes a liability. I think you just need to play around with the volume and intensity and like you said, see how it goes. Still plenty of time till the january BDFPA comp. | ||

Gone squatting Member 12, 386 posts SQ 250, BP 155, DL 260665.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | First session back from Ireland yesterday. Due to losing about a stone i have decided to start very light on bench and build it back up. Bench seems to have been hit the hardest, lat work went quite well. Bench Press (in the old gym, freshers pissing me off), 105kg x 5,5,5,5,5 Chin ups BW x 5,5,5,5,5, Boards 110kg x1 120kg x1 130kg x1 140kg x1 T-Bars 50kg x10 70kg x10 80kg x10 90kg x5,5,5 Standing DB shoulder press 22.5kg x5 25kg x5 27.5kg x5 30kg x5 32.5kg x5 Standing DB presses are fecking hard, i used to do the 50kgs DB's quite easily seated. Oh and Jo has joined the "i fart when i deadlift club", even though she tried to deny it. Quite the ripper it was as well. | ||

Gone squatting Member 12, 386 posts SQ 250, BP 155, DL 260665.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Tuesday's session wasn't too good, i still feel quite weak on most exercises. Deadlifts 205kg x 2,2,2,2,2 Squats - just form work, worked up to 130kg, but i was using one of the s**t bars so i got fed up and stopped there. Shrugs - kept these fairly light as well, just up to 140kg Abs Pulldowns 49kg x 10 56kg x 10 I've been keeping a food diary the last few days and what immediately stands out is that i am not getting enough calories. Calorie intake has been around 2500 - 3000, so i'm going to bump this up 4000, and depending on how that goes, maybe 4500. Aiming for around 50% carbs, 25% protein, 25% fat. | ||

What was your calorie intake when you were getting up to 15 stone? | ||

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | s**t man, that is a really low calorie intake for someone with your activity levels and muscle mass to maintain! That is not enough for a maintenance even is it. Nice one for spotting it out though, food logs can have their purpose. Now what you need is Operation Apes**t, or perhaps even GFH: http://www.sugdenbarbell.co.uk/index.php/articles/35 Lets get f**king huge man! | ||
