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

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.

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...

My Journal

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

My Journal

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.
