You got some cracking weights there mate

Bench 115kg
Squat 110kg
Deads 205kg!!

Great stuff

Edit that to 205kg deadlift - you're making me jealous mate

...also need to edit Bench to 120kg (see Dec 5th 2006)

Ah you bugga

I'm gonna have to start eating whatever your having

To be honest though, i recon my diet if far from what most people would want if they are trying to make gains.

Morning: Large bowl of Fruit 'n Fibre cereal with skimmed milk.
Lunchtime: Tuna and coleslaw brown bread sandwich and a cereal bar.
Late afternoon: Tuna and coleslaw brownbread sandwich.
Evening (after workout): Protein shake.
Late evening: 4 egg whites+2 whole eggs scrambled on 1 slice of brown bread.

Anytime during the day i may snack on a handfull of nuts.

My diet is not strict at the moment and it can vary from day to day, also i don't normaly follow the above diet at the weekends.

Im pretty much keeping everything at an enjoyable level at the moment, it makes it easier to stick with it then. Once i get into the new year then i will become more strict with it all.

just had a read thru your journal mate, really good stuff

Cheers!

I've been pleased with my strength progress so far, really enjoy doing low reps as well.

Current bodyweight: 13st 8.5lbs (86.5kg)

Seems to be working though mate!

My diet at the moment is far from strict but once christmas is out the way I do plan to do a proper 8-12 wk cut. Will see what happens!!

This evening i worked my triceps.

5 reps with 100kg
4 reps with 100kg
3 reps with 105kg
2 reps with 105kg
1 rep with 107.5kg


Lying Tricep Extensions (EZ bar)

7 reps with 53kg
6 reps with 53kg
5 reps with 53kg
3 reps with 55.5kg

I've decided that im not going to train over the Christmas period, manily due to extra shifts at work, more late nights and more drink!!

I know that even if i did some training it's better than doing none, but i struggle to get myself motivated for it at all if im not giving it my all. So im just going to relax a bit untill the new year.

I've been pleased with my progress so far and am already looking forward to getting stuck into it in the new year.


Happy Christmas to all!

Thought i'd post up a couple of pictures that i've taken today.

Want to have a record so i can measure my improvements against them in the new year.

Im not particularly happy with them, but i did only start training seriously again about 6 weeks ago and have done nothing the last 2 weeks. It gives me plenty of room for improvement at least.

looking good in the above pics!

whats your next plan of action ?

Cheers!

Although i did'nt really class them as looking good!? My diet at the moment consists of beer and junk food combined with no training!

Once the new year is over with i will be back into training properly. Will mainly be concentrating on strength, not bothered if i gain any size or not at the moment. Then closer to summer i shall drop bodyfat.

I just wanted the pictures for a record of what i look like now before i start training properly again.

Where are you doing your martial arts, mate?
A few lads have mentioned a mixed martial arts club in Werrington on a Sunday - aikido and ju jitsu combined apparently. Sounds interesting.

Don't do them anymore. Did various ones over the course of around 7-8 years.

It all slowed down a bit when i got involved with a girl..... usual story!

I did Ju Jutsu for the longest period, about 4-5 years, not sure who does that over at Werrington though, might know them i see them!?

You thinking about it yourself then?

Yes mate - weekends are the only time I can get away from the gym so thinking about lunchtime ju jitsu or aikido really. The Werrington one sounds ideal.

Used to box with Nige Fairbairn in the gym on weekdays during lunch-hour but he got real busy and real popular, so something had to give, not that I minded too much - he used to batter me black and blue, lol.

Depends on what you want to get from it, but aikido in MMA is a bit unusal. It's not an easy art to put into practical use in my opinion. Not putting it down at all though, i did it for around 18 months but it was'nt for me.

Still, it's worth a look if they're mixing it up a bit, can't really make fair comment without trying them.

What are you aims from it then?

Looking good in that pic mate, keep it up.

Cheers Gaz.

Once i come off the 'beer & junk food' bulk plan that im on .....it will be full steam ahead in the new year!

good luck mate with the fresh start. you have good fore-arms what size are they?
