Are you still with the same girlfriend, I remember your old journal too.

I am indeed. :P


Saturday: 40 mins roughly cycling.

Sunday:
Dealifts: 60kg, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120kg. 
Punch bag work also.

My grip fails me on my deadlift, my left hand fingers just seem to give way, it's really annoying. Need some chalk.


Today:
Bench: 20, 40, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75kg
Abs
Skullcrushers
Tricep pulldowns
Rows: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 (weight)
Flyes, 12kg 4 sets superset: Lat Raises + Reverse flyes

Then went for a swim, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi, very nice.

I am able to go to the gym with my friends at the moment but I don't know how often I'll be able to go as I rely on my friends. My girlfriend is here for a week tomorrow.

OK. Forgot to update this.

Recently I've:

Deadlifted: went up to about 120 but my grip failed me again, annoying, need chalk.

Bench: One rep of 90kg. Happy with this as I only managed 3 reps before I stopped the gym for a year.

Squats: Managed 120kg. Better form did 90kg. Multiple reps.

Throughout the week cycled 3 times or so.
Cycled twice yesterday.

Weighed in this morning at 90.0kg.

As you can see, not making great progress because I keep getting distracted by friends and the girl. Need to focus and not let socialising mean my diet goes out the window.

Off to cycle now.

Yesterday: 18th July 2010

Shadow boxing 3 minutes
Press ups  3 x 12
Pull ups 2 x 8
Press ups (triangle) 3 x 8
Pull ups 2 x 8
Press ups (wide arm) 3 x 10
Back raises 3 x 25

OK Haven't updated in a while.

I've been with my buddies, been weight training regularly for the last 2-3 weeks or so. Regaining a bit of mass. Haven't lost weight though.

Will update soon.

Well I finaly got a job. I'm working for Oceana Nightclub, good times. Done two nights so far, hard work but enjoyable. Was stuck in 'Disco' bar though and the head barman there is a bit of a ****. If you're reading this, you're a ****!

Anyway. Once I've got a bit of cash flowing in I'll hopefully be able to start going to a gym again (thinking Cheetahs). Also I'd like to start some form of training again. MMA preferably but ZT fight school is expensive so I may stick with the boxing at Cheetahs. Good times ahead.

Weighed in at 89.4kg the other day.

Got my first pay day. Now I'm gonna figure out a plan for when to go to the gym and I'm going to try include some cardio. Then after that It'll be my diet.

Good times ahead.

OK starting from next Monday I should be going to the gym 3 times a week, cardio twice a week. I'll be doing a Push/Pull/Legs split. Worked well for me in the past.

Oceana!

Good luck with the 16 year old girls!

Oceana!

Good luck with the 16 year old girls!

Haha I know there are a lot of them! There's a lot of old folk too I never seem to notice them when I'm out. Young'uns are nicer to look at. Really enjoying it there though.


Anyway I did about 3 hours of training yesterday, muay thai followed by MMA and I think I actually died. I felt unbeleivably light headed for quite a while but I finished. Still did alright considering I haven't trained for over a year.


Planning on going to gym tomorrow and doing my first Chest session. Looking forwards.

Also bought these 'Alpha Men' multi vits from myprotein. They apparently are good and make your pee glow :O we'll see. I'm thinking of buying some ZMA too. I don't sleep so well.

I decided it would be a good idea to go out and spend £40 so I've now got none left to go to the gym this week. A tad annoying but I will start next!

Also I ordered some protein. Impact Whey Myprotein. Chocolate Nut flavour. Should be getting that tomorrow. Excited.

Got the protein today. Well it arrived at like 4 and I woke up at like 4.30 :S so I had to go get it off my neighbours who were right grumpy pants but oh well. I got it I wanna try it but I haven't yet. I'll have one before bed.

At the moment for my diet I'm gonna eat normally, but healthily, slightly smaller portions and I'll aim to have no carbs before bed, just a protein shake. I'm wondering how far this'll get me, but I'll stick with it until I feel I'm not burning enough fat. Then I'll change my diet.

One thing that's getting to me is that when I work, usually about 9-4am. I can't eat, but I get one break in which to eat and I keep forgetting to bring food with me so end up eating out the vending machines. But from now on I'll try keep it simple with a sandwich in my break then a shake when I get home. Maybe I'll just have two shakes if I go to the gym before.

Anyway, tomorrow I'm going for it, exercise and fat burning here we go.

Other day, push:

Benched 70kg 5x5. Kinda wanted to do 75 but wanted to do a sure weight.
Shoulder press: 17.5kg 5x5.
Dips: 5x5
Abs: 3x10 weighted crunches, 5kg.

Was a relatively easy workout but good.

This morning: 86.4kg

I should really stop drinking so much though...

OK. This is weird I paid for my phone bill. It should have reduced my balance obviously but according to my internet banking it hasn't.

Tomorrow I'm going to walk to my local cash point which is about 15 minutes away :@ and see what my balance is. If I have enough, I'm going to go into Brighton and sign up at a gym called 'The Gym'. I plan to go to this one as it's £15 a month, with a £20 sign up fee. This is markedly cheaper than Cheetahs. Also a few people from work go there. I'm just crossing my fingers that there are deadlift, bench and squat facilities. Bench and squat should be a cert but I'm not sure about deadlifting. Also I want to use chalk.

Anyway, tomorrow might be the start of my new gyming program! Hope I'm able to.

I've been sick in my stomach for the last two days it's really annoying... Anyway, recently:

Bench: 75kg 5x5
Dips: 5x5
Shoulder Press: 17.5kg 5x5

Deadlift: 110kg 4x5sets. 120kg 5 reps.

After:

Bench: 77.5kg, 4 sets of 5
              80kg 1 set of 5

              85kg 1 set of 4



Deadlift: 120kg 4 sets of 5
              122.5kg 1 set of 5



Shoulder press: 50kg 5x5

Crunches: 10kg 3x10

OK tomorrow I'm finally joining a gym!

I've withdrawn £50 and managed to find £10 on the floor whilst working last night whoop! So I now have the £35 to sign up for this gym and a bit extra for travel expenses. I plan to go into Brighton tomorrow, look around and if it's good, join. Can't argue with £15 a month....

Now I'm extremely bored during the day when I don't work so I'm not sure whether I should do a 3 day PPL or a 4 day split as it'll use up more time. I've always been used to doing PPL though. Oh well a change can't hurt.

Excited.

Weighed in this morning at around 90kg.

Alright...

Went gym on monday, didn't know you had to sign up online before you go, so I didn't gym.

Went earlier today, made the mistake of going at around 6.30. Now for a really cheap gym, peak time was RIDICULOUS. Sooooooo many people there literally no equipment free. So I left and I'm never gonna do that again.

I will be going tomorrow though.

My body is improving slowly. Will put a picture up when I think the difference is worthy.
