Im back,
It felt so awesome to be back in the gym today!!
Squats, low bar, fairly wide stance, below parallel.
barx10
40kgx8
60kgx20.
got the first 8 reps, then it was doubles and triples, felt good. Difficult but within my capabilities.
Im going to do this twice a week, adding 2.5kg per session, and see how far I get.
DB Press 28kgx3. Didnt like this without a spotter.
Bench
62.5kg 3x5, which matches my PR, I think 65 for 3x5 is within reach.
Leg curl. 3x8-10 82kg PR
OH DB Press 3x5 18kg. Not so good, could get 8 reps before the break.
Tricep cable extend 3x10 26.5kg.
Weight 74kg.
I dont appear to have lost any strenght over the break. tommorow I will do rows and misc, then in a couple of days set up a proper SPBR again.
Im planning to cut down my job hours and take up wing chun kung fu, which I will do 3-4 times per week, that should A. get me in really good shape and B. give me somthing to do with all this strenght.

Todays workout was pretty good.
20 repper- 62.5kg
I did 8 reps, then 6, 4, 2.
My form was good, Lower back ached like hell at the end, its not used to it!
This felt easier than the last one, I guess because Im back in the "groove" of squatting now, I suspect it will get difficult very quickly, bring it on!
Seated DB OH Press 18kg.
2x8, 1x10
Strength recovered here, which Im happy about, aiming to get 18kg for 3x10, then up the weight and see how many reps I can get.
Ham curls, got 89kg for 5, then they gave up on me so I stopped. I think Ive reached the limits of "catch up" with this one now and I'll have to grind it up like all my other lifts.
close grip bench press, 40kg
3x10
Tricep cable extension. 3x10 29.5kg PR.
good.
Some ab work to finnish. weigh static at around 74kg.
Im definatly getting leaner, my "V" taper is looking awesome in the mirror, But I still need to put on considerable muscle mass to get the "cover model" look.
Slowly but surely, diet could be better but is good enough for now, I need to reintroduce supplements, fish oil and eggs.

2x5, 1x6(+one assisted) PR Happy with this.
65kg for 20 reps. I did 10, then 6, then 2 and 2. Very happy with how this went. I need to focus on getting depth, its fine at the moment but need to keep an eye on it as the weight goes up.
2x10 glute thrusts.
Shoulder Press, 18kg per side. Wanted 3x10. I got 9 reps, and 8x2. Never mind.
Dips, on the assist machine.

Crunches and planks and stuff to finnish.
Also the other day I went for a 20 min interval run, was great. need to get atleast 3-4 a week in.
Diet still going ok.

Was easier than I thought it would be, you were right Quag I could lift it right now, its all in my head.
My knees clicked somthing aweful but that always happens when I lift a weight for the first time. Next time I dead I will try 130 for reps. then for a 140kg single.
DB rows each side 26kg.
3x8.
left side still slightly weaker.
chin ups 3x5
Stretching and flexibility has kinda hit a brick wall at the moment, but hopefulyl will fix itself if I continue with the stretching.
Im starting a wing chun/san shou class on wedesday which Im really looking forward to. Will be great to train with somthing other than weights.

Todays workout was hard, havent had it take it out me like this in a while.
Squats.
Barx10
40x4
67.5x20 (8, 3,3,2,2,2)
Tough, but got throught it, for 70kg I need to eat pleanty in the run up, and make sure form is good on every repetition.
Im close on body weight for 20 reps now.
ham raises, using a barbell to keep my feet down.
3x5, but I had to use arms to assist for 80% of the way up.
I thought my hamstrings were strong, turns out they are not!
I will persevere with these, aim is to get at least one rep of all the way up without arms.
glute raises with a 20kg BB. x10 and then x20.
Only the higher reps seem to work with this, so will be doing 3x20 in future.
one leg calve raises, 2x10 per side with a 10kg dumbell.
Left it at that for today. Im going to a new martial arts class tommorow night so I wanted to leave my upper body and core fresh for it.

weighed in at 73.5kg yesterday, down a little but not worryingly so.
Just got back from a double class, Wing Chun followed by San shou Kickboxing.
It was amazing to be back in a martial arts class, Im so glad I got motivated to go.
I will pay a set fee of £50 a month, for that I can go to as many classes as I like, I think I will start with 3-4 a week and see how it goes.
Its a 12 mile bike ride there and back so pleanty of added cardio as well.
If I start doing multiple hours of extra cycling and martial arts I will need to up the calories. Back on the milk soon I think!
Im going to take a couple of days off.

Todays workout-
Squat 70kgx20. PR,
Form broke down a little in the last 10, I tend to go down, then lift my arse up a bit, then lift my back up and push down, should be one smooth movement. Will work on this.
I'm going to switch back to 3x5 format now for a bit, then try to get the 20 repper up to 80kg in a few weeks.
Bench 3x5 65kg PR, bout time I got this. Happy.
Glute barbell thrusts. 48kg bar, 3x15. Good, but I'm not sure how effectively this is hitting my glutes, time will tell.
Ran out of time, but wasn’t planning to do much more.
Weight static at just over 73kg.
Quag, you are quite right doing lots of cycling and martial arts will make it pretty difficult to get stronger.
I’ve had a think about it though, and really, what’s the point of being “strong”. Being strong is pointless and a waste of food unless you have something to be strong for. I don’t see the point of training for trainings sake. I want to be as fit, strong and generally athletic as possible, which means training in a number of disciplines.
Six months weight training exclusively just made me bigger but very unfit. I'm currently 4kg lighter than my all time high, but stronger than I’ve ever been.
Thus I'm going to cross train martial arts, free running, and weights. My goal is to get stronger and faster. If I need to get bigger to achieve that, I will, and it’s likely I will.
I’ve started back on the raw eggs today, and will reincorporate sups and fish oil tomorrow.
The plan is to do the martial arts and cardio training, and eat a **** load, focusing my weight training only on-
Squat, deadlift, Bench, Row.
With OH press and pull up as secondary exercises. Aims-
Bench and row body weight.
Deadlift 140kg for reps, and double body weight for a single.
Add at least 10-20 kilos on my various squats.
I will eat a load for the next few weeks and see how it goes. Tweaking as necessary in a few weeks time.
All advice and comments very welcome and appreciated.

Well Im in pain today,
My shoulders hurt like hell from benching, and my glutes hurt every time I contract them, I've definatly found an exercise that targets them!
Went to martial arts today, it was great. The bike ride is tiring but the class itself is pretty easy, cardio wise.
raw egg intake- high.

Good stuff, I'll take attempts to do something similar
cheers guys,
Did martial arts last night, really enjoying it. Its not massively intense, so long as I eat enough to cover the calories expended it shouldnt hurt my strenght gains.
Gym today-
5 pulls ups
squats, warm ups to
3x90kg
2x5 90kg
wussed out on the first set, could have got all 5 if id tried. The bar felt REALLY heavy. but Ive not squatted in a few months now so 12kg off my PR isnt to bad. Will work this up to 100kg again over the next few weeks then try and go for a PR. Not sure how well that will work if my weight remains static.
Rows
5x40kg
3x5x65kg, but some reps were dodgy so wont call it a PR yet.
Next time. my Row has caught up with my bench now, which is good.
Hamstring exercise again. 3x5 approx, still nothing like strong enough to get body weight so may move back to the machine.
Glute bridge raises. 48kg for 3x10 ish.
Glutes are a muscle I really need to develop, they are lagging WAY behind my quads. I dont think my squats are likly to improve untill I correct this imbalance.
5 more pull ups.
overall, a bit meh. my lifts are crawling up so slowly its agonising. Ive only put 5kg on my bench in four months!! I guess I just need to get more disiplined, eat more, rest more, put more effort it.

40x3
60x3
80x3
100kg 3x5
much more like it compared to a few days ago!! only a few kilos of my all time max, this was difficult, and I wasnt going much past parrallel. Ive found I can engage my glutes/hams better with my feet on a block (ankle flexibility issues) so I will be using one from now on I think.
Bench, warmups to-
2x67.5, 3x65
5x65
5x66
going up in 2.5kg jumps doesnt seem to work so well for this lift and similar, but 1kg jumps is doable.
Im getting fractional plates!!

A whole weeks worth to report!
Ive had 3 martial arts sessions with associated cycle rides. which were great, although doing the martial arts classes has really shown the gaps in my fitness, my muscle conditioning is terrible, but cardio is acceptable and getting better with every run.
I also managed to fit in 3 work outs I think, but cant remember all the details, Important are the PR's Ive made.
row- pendlay style lifting from the ground each time.
67kg 3x5 PR
squat -
3x5 105kg. PR
felt really heavy, as it should, but I got it.
Bench- SO FLUCKING CLOSE argh!
I got 67.5kg 2x5, but only 4 on the last set, had to dump the last rep on the bottom pins, so fraustrating, but still awesome progress in only a few weeks so Im not complaining, Ill get it for sure next session.
Ive not deadlifted in a while, so will do that later this week, friday maby.
Weight remains the same at around 73.5kg, but Im definatly leaning out, still a way to go but I will get properly fit in time.
Happy with my progress in the last week, even if its been exhuasting!

barbell row (from the floor each rep
warm ups to-
3x5 67.5kg PR
stiff leg deads.
4 warm up sets to 1x5 with 100kg.
My legs were knackered from martial arts, cycling etc, so I couldnt go all out with this. 110 is my PR but that was with injuring myself, I want to do some heavy deads soon, its been a while, this saterday should be a good day for that.
Also did martial arts monday and will again tonight.
Diet is going well, Ive started cooking so im incorporating more beef and veggies like brocoli!

107.5kg 3x5 PR :cheer:
Really difficult, completely new feeling of "ache" in my legs after these and some really SLOW reps. But got it all, and all reps were at least to parallel.
Tried doing bench, but was totally shot from the squats, ran out of time also, so no other exercises.
Our gym has just had a bunch of new equipment put in, including an awesome new squat rack!
body weight still 73.5kg, I need to start slowly increasing it again. Back up to 75 to start with.
walking in the lake district for a week as of tomorrow, so till next week, cheers!

Walking holiday-
was awesome, and Im unfit, I was beaten up the moutains by a friend of mine who weighs 17kg less than me, he definatly had the advantage! Just proves how much more progress I can make with the cardio training.
martial arts- good to start this again, I really ached after mondays session because I spent 30 minutes after class practicing full power striking on this awesome latex dummy man they have.
gym yesterday- a quick, slightly experimental session.
pull ups 3x5, and also 6 singles.
rows-
warm ups, 60kgx5, 70kgx3x3.
I wanted to see what the higher weight felt like, its doable but I couldnt have got 5 reps with good form. will try for 3x4 reps next time.
It was weird, after the martial arts my back ached, but I could still row just fine, I guess its a different kind of muscle fibre or somthing. If anything the lower part of the row felt easier. Im hoping the martial arts training will have beneficial cross over effects on my strenght training.
I also did some sit ups on the new machine, and some cable "punching" extensions.
Diet- still going well but room for improvment.
weight- 73.9kg. I want to get this moving upward, but slowly and without any fat gain, im getting really lean and I like it.
Cure.
was awesome, and Im unfit, I was beaten up the moutains by a friend of mine who weighs 17kg less than me, he definatly had the advantage! Just proves how much more progress I can make with the cardio training.
martial arts- good to start this again, I really ached after mondays session because I spent 30 minutes after class practicing full power striking on this awesome latex dummy man they have.
gym yesterday- a quick, slightly experimental session.

gym a couple of days ago- havn't had internet access till now.
Bench-
warmups,
60kg 2x5
these felt really really difficult, but it turned out it was all in my head becaseu I called over a spotter and then did-
70kg for 3+1 assisted.
75kg for 3 reps, assisted. The first rep was almost all me, but it was higher than body weight so I wasnt expecting to get it all by myself.
this was awesome and my chest still aches 3 days later!
Deadlift-
warmups to 5x125kg PR.
Good. Grip was the weak point here. I could pull 130 for 5 with a stronger grip I think.
3x5 dips, and some ab work to finnish.
Martial arts tonight! then a pull day tommorow.
Cure.
