Built like a badass - On cycle started the test today

hey mates, i have been lurking around this forum for a while and i think now's the time to start a journey.

my back ground:
-fatass judoka 89kg with 99.9999%bf  :D
-one year later 75kg with a six pak
-tried booze for first and last time got hit by a car had a back injury.
- healing took sometime
- got back to 80kg with 13%bf
- rowed for college and iam now a competitive lightweight rower.
- now is my ofseason so iam trying to build a base to compete in the heavy weigh class.

i tried splits but i found that i got my best results by training heavy using full body routines.
i have a wide e-library of oldtimers routines that i love to use.

my routine:
i workout sunday - tuesday - thursday. using the following routine as a base i change the excercise variation everytime for instance one time i do flat presses the other day i do inclines and so on. the first 2 sets are warmups and the other 4 are working sets.

workout notes: i haven't worked in the low rep ranges recently so i was testing what i could do today , on tuesday i'll keep going higher.

I used to do lightweight rowing, and it can be hard both mentally and physically to drive your bodyweight up a lot.  On the upside, you should find deadlifting a breeze :-)

My Journal

yes mate deads are my best lifts so are the cleans. it's a ****er trying to gain weight during season thats why iam trying off season.  do u have any ideas?

off day today. cardio done for 30 mins

diet:
brekkie: 6eggs + 1 cup oats + cinammon+ 3 tbsp honey ,+ 3cups whole milk + 1/2 an apple

meal2: 1 cup rice + 1 hen breast + 1 cup spinach
meal3: 1 russian bear shake
meal4: 1 hen breast + 1 cup spinach
meal5: 1 cup beans
meal6: 2 cups cottage cheese + olive oil + oregano

Good lean base to build on there young man.

You might want to search out Barbuda's journal as I believe he used to row and certainly started from a similar build to you before adding some excellent mass in just over a year.

Good luck.

Notes: iam very happy for the Pr's i achieved  and i hope that i can smasg somemore records on thursday. on a side note i had to half ass the mil presses and the arm work because my dad forgot the house keys and yelled at me on the phone to drop the weights and come home so he wouldn't wait. its not my problem he forgot his keys i don't know whats wrong with the dads around hopefully i won't have the same mentality when i have kids.

couple of things, how tall are you?

are you running aas at the monent? just you seem to be popping up in the aas section. if you dont want this kind of chat in your journal pm me and i will edit it out for you.

also, no need for all the colours when putting your weight/routine up, it hurts my eyes! lol

good luck with gaining the weight too.

iam 177 cm , no iam not running aas atm. but iam seriously thinking of it when i hit 70 - 75kg at my current Bf.

i have no problem with u discussing the aas stuff here iam very open about my life. i have been reading every book in biochem and aas functions for the last 2 years. 

the goals i want to achieve from aas use would be body composition gains i would like to hit maybe 85kg at 7-8 % bf. as i don't want the excess muscles to affect my rowing and flexibility.

about the colours i stole this idea from murphey's log been reading it for 2 months now.

thnx and ask any question u'd like to know.

Your muscle wieght will pile back on mate, your diets good and training is fine, what wieght cat. does the rowing light wieghts go up to - are you limiting yourself to how much you put on?

One thing is i dont rate full body workouts but each to there own if its working for you stick with it bud!
