the road is a long one, training has been inconsistent at best but now back with a little bit of time to play around with so going to start another journal and see where it takes me.

this year has not been great training wise, ripped my quad at the start of 2015 front squatting so tentatively getting started again.

I was also weighing a consistent 105-108kg for about 2 years, thinking this was a combination of good diet and hard training I was getting cocky until I took 150mg of voltarol one day and essentially vomited blood all over the inside of my car while i rushed myself to hospital. I found out I have completely destroyed my stomach lining taking voltarol, anyway I should have realised as I was knocking back gaviscon constantly.

after a bit of surgery its all sorted (although I cant take ibuprofen, aspirin, voltarol etc or I may bleed out so be careful kids!), I can now digest food, resulting in a 20kg increase in bodyweight.

so basically, Im fat, weak and aging.... I have also stopped training at virgin active and lost the ability to use sunbeds every 2nd day so I'm pale, like a potato.

currently weighing around 120kg (and not a good 120kg), about 80% where I should be strength wise and need to do something about it.

tonight:

brief back session to find out where I am

Deadlifts
very light
to 220kg for 3 singles

underhand bent over rows
I went up to 210kg for these for 2 sets of 5 reps. form is awful but I want to overload the back to force it to get used to weight
dropped weight to 180kg for 2 sets of 6 (decent form)

partial deads (no straps) above the knee to 350kg (mostly for grip and shoulder girdle to again get them used to some weight.

chins (using gymnastic rings)
3 sets of bodyweight for 5 reps

hammer strength pull downs
60kg a side for 3 sets of 10 - controlled


Ive started back doing a bit of boxing training, I used to box every day and my fitness was really good (the first rung of the boxing ladder but for me it helped tremendously), my rest between sets was literally the time it took to put another plate on and my recovery was excellent. Im also training BJJ when I can more because I enjoy it than any other reason.

so mission is to train weights 4-5 times a wee, box 3 and BJJ 5. reduce weight to 105kg and get strength back to a decent level. If it does then I may do a GBPF or GPC (because they look more fun).

year end target
squat
250 for 10 (wraps)
bench
190 for 10
deads
300 for 10

20kg for 10
40kg for 10
60kg for 10

all slow and squeezed, i have no point of reference for these in terms of weight so i may aswell enjoy them

worked up to 12 plates on the selector then once i hit failure i dropped the weight by 2 plates for failure right the way down the stack. decent pump
cable extensions

pressups
bodyweight for 40 - s**te

Chist
trained at PureGym at some ungodly hour. they dont have a "proper" bench, the benches they have are an odd height from the floor and the squat racks pins are also an odd height. In order to put the rack height at arms length i had to place a 25kg plate and a 2.5kg plate under each leg of the bench to lift it. this meant i couldnt put my feet on the floor and had to bench almost feet up. Anyway....

Bench
20kg x 10
40kg x 10
60kg x 10
80kg x 10
100kg x 10
120kg x 4
140kg x 4
165kg x 10 - I stopped when I thought I had 2 left as I dont have a spotter
100kg for 35 reps just for a pump - aim to get 50 shortly

Incline in Smith Machine
a number of reps with some weight

incline dumbell flyes
24kg x 10
46kg x 12 then 10

press ups
50 then 30 then 23
