Fair play mate! Sure you'll be back up to that standard in no time! That is some dead for a 17 year old!

Oh, thanks guys!

Sorry, haven't been active for a bit. Got a good Internet access now and a good access to a fine gym.
 
BTW 1MR, I've been following your journals for a while. All nice stuff and impressive last couple of months, esp the deadding.

Weighing a piss-light 83kg this morning. Almost lost 10kg over the summer. Going to bulk hard when winter comes, I think.


Last Week of Workouts (from memory),

Sunday:
Powercleans: I put 80kg on the bar, pretty easy - just working technique and getting some exercise. Did 5 triples or so.
Front Squats: 2x5 @ 100kg, 2x4 @ 120kg, 1x10 @ 100kg
Strict Press: 3x6 @ 60kg, 1x8 @ 70kg
Plate high pulls: 20kg plate, 4x10 reps each arm nonstop. Idk what to call these... basically grap a plate and pull it up so elbow is in line with shoulder and fist slightly above.

Monday:
Sprints and uphill runs etc in the evening

Tuesday:
Abs and jog outside in the morning on empty stomach

Wednesday: did a bodybuilder's style back workout - pumped!
Wide pullups: 2x6 (warm up)
DB rows: 4x10 @ 50kg
Seated low cable rows: 4x12  @ stack(150kg) - felt lighter than what it said it weighed
Wide Pulldowns behind/front of neck: 4x12 each

AM jog outside on empty and abs
Did another bodybuilder's workout, chest/arms

embarassed writing this out.. I'll try some manlier stuff next time

Trying to gain weight again. I'm up 1kg this week, so weighing 84 right now. Keeping the calories at a minimum of 3500 and they reach closer to 5000 on lifting days. Not just about the weight, I've been jogging and bodyweight exercising. Can do 20 overhand pullups without much difficulty now and closing in on 100 push ups, also got a little 6 pack going on. Trying to keep that going while still gaining some weight. Lets aim for 90kg.

Hit the gym today. I focused on shoulders hard, but not heavy - bodybuilder style. Going to do some heavy squats tomorrow to make up for that.

Thursday
Military Press 4x8 @ 60kg
1 arm DB Press 1x3 @ 42.5kg - stopped because wrist was hurting - a little bruised and swollen
Behind Neck Press 4x10 @ 55kg - slow and some veins popping
Side/Front Raise Supers Both(3x12 @ 12.5kg)
Plate High Pull 4x12 with a 20kg plate

Squats and some back tomorrow...

that's some nice fronties there.
do you do them clean grip or bb style?

Thanks daKensta. I use a clean grip. They're probably my favorite lift, managed a ~150 (325lb) single a couple of months ago.

Did some close stance deep back squats today. I felt weak. My hams were really tight.

Friday
Oly Squats 2x8 @ 60kg , 2x8 @ 100kg , 2x3 @ 140kg , 2x15 @ 120kg
DB Rows 4x8 @ 50kg
Wide Lat Pulldowns 4x12
Lat Pdowns behind neck 3x10
Upright Rows 2x10

I put 135lbs on the bar and did as many reps as I could with multiple breaks in between. I did as many strict as I could, then it moved onto push presses then jerking. Did a total of 80 reps - just couldn't lock out anymore, too much blood in my arms.


... going to do some events on Saturday

Today, very limited what I could do: Shoulders/triceps/traps completely fücked up after what I did in the post above... and my back was a little sore.

Front squats (could hardly rest it on the shoulders nor keep the clean grip because my tris were so sore)
2x4 @ 205lbs
4x4 @ 255lbs

gave up and stretched/massaged sh/tri/traps for 20 min

Tire flips (very humid day, slippery tire and floor)
total 30 reps with about 700lb tire, kept the rest to a minimum

Cheers mate- I was please because I was a) in calorie deficit and b) not done deadlifts for ages.  Just returned to the gym after a lay-off of around 7-8 weeks so hopefully get it right back up there again soon.

I find it hard coming back after lay-offs and getting back into routine. Having a fresh lower back, though, is great.

Btw, saw you're into boxing. I've been preparing for it for a long time, but never found anyone or a place until now as I just moved. I'm starting classes in a few weeks. Got a little Rocky mindset going on... actually a pretty huge one. Hope I'm as good as I think I am

Bodyweight: 180lbs. Had been thinking about just staying this light: very comfortable, can run forever, cardio at an all time max, very lean and feeling healthy. But tonight's session made me feel strong and I love that feeling, so I'm thinking about bulking up to 200lbs and do a strongman competition early 2010.
