Day 44

Woke up again about an hour later than planned but managed to fit everything in fine.  Again feeling a little fatigued even after my breakfast in the mornings.  I'm even beginning to become experimental with my evening meal.  Adding spices to make things a little tastier and interesting.

Felt VERY tired during my Quad session.  Just seemed to have no energy what so ever, so the session wasnt as good as usual but tried my best.

Trained Quads and alittle Calves:

Squats
Leg Extension (light weight high reps)
Horizontal Leg Press
Lunges
Leg Extension (heavy Low reps)

Seated Clave Extensions on a Smith Machine

Day 46

Didnt manage to keep the journal up to date yesterday.  Quick recap, solid day of eating and training no hicups really, apart from the one piece of bread at about 10pm becasue I was JUST SO HUNGRY.  Trained chest and abs yesterday.  Felt a good pump but again went away pretty quickly. 

Today again so pretty solid. Unfortunately missed my cardio, I just couldnt get up so I shall add a session on sunday.  Food has been really good, getting all the timings and quantities to the T.  Spoke to a guy in the gym today about my training and he was very impressed.  Some of his friends are competing at the NABBA Mr Miss Scotland.  Its good to speak to people who have a good understanding of what bodybuilding is all about and why we do it.

Trained Back today:

Deadlifts
Metal Handle Close Grip Pull Down
Single Arm Dumbell Rows
Seated Cable Rows (25 reps, 1min rest, 3 sets)
Barbell Shrugs

I think my strength has been affected by the diet.  Deadlifts arent as convincing as in the off season.  Today pulled 180kg for 4 reps where a few months ago I managed 200kg for 3.  Its always going to happen.  Veins are popping in places I never knew they were whilst training.  Feeling and looking good.  Bring on the next 8weeks!!!

great stuff mate, any progress pics to add soon??

yea will be putting some more up later this week. Cheers rex

good stuff looking forward to seeing them

Day 49

WOW what a weekend!!!  Work was really busy on Saturday, so havent managed to keep things up dated on the journal however its been a good weekend.  Lots of eating and training.  Saturday was little more difficult but every went in also with a cardio session in the morning.

Caught up on the hamstrings and triceps on the sunday with a good high intense blast.  Feeling a little flat and very fatigued at some points in the day.  Usually after breakfast and later in the evening, around 8pm.  Veins are popping in my lower abs around the hip bone.  Pretty freaky.  Arms are popping all over and striations in the shoulders during workouts are looking good.

Today trained shoulders and abs:

Seated Dumbell Press
Incline Lateral Raises
Pec Dec Rear Delt Flys
Modified Dumbell Front Raises
Upright rows (3 sets 10 reps)

Abdominal workout

Cardio is still abit of a chore but pushing through it.  8 weeks out today, unbelievable I feel like 4weeks out.  This year I'm going to be more ripped and with added muscle.  CANT WAIT!!!!

Day 50

Training and eating was really good today. Slept in on my cardio this morning so will catch up later on in the week.  Pretty quiet at work so was a bit more hungry at the end of the day around 9.  Finding that really hard.

On a side note i've managed to get sponsorship from the gym that I go to.  So I now get free membership to use there facilities, which will save me a lot.  Big thanks to Nuffield Health Aberdeen.

Trained Chest and Biceps:

Flat Bench Dumbell Press
Incline Flys
Cable Crossovers
Incline Barbell Press

Standing Dumbell Curls
Cable EZ Curls
Modified Single Arm Cable Curls

Day 52

This morning was very difficult trying to wake up and do my cardio.  Forced myself to put my shorts and t-shirt on.  Cardio was fine really just hard with an empty stomach and feeling pretty tired.  At work I was on a 10-6 so trained at about 7pm.  Workout was good, really high intensity which isnt often with the diet.  I feel less power full when doing big lifts like deads.  I wouldnt say strenth has been lost just the about of reps with particular weights.

Felt very hungry in the afternoon but nothing that I havent felt before.  Catching up my cardio tomorrow but no weights. Will take saturday off and train hams on sunday.

Tranined Back:

Deadlifts
Lateral Pulldown
Dumbell Rows
Dumbell Shrugs
MTS Row
