Dale 1989 - Training log (Pics pages 1,5, 22) *Deadlift vids p34*

30 mins cardio before breakfast.
Again staying between 80-85rpm.
5 mins resistance 1
10mins resistance 3
10mins resistance 4 - for some reason decided to keep around 95-100 rpm
Absolutely shattered me
5mins back on resistance 1, around 50-60rpm

Still got DOMS in my delts, chest, bi`s, tri`s, and all over my back today. Enjoying the speed type work.

Legs.
Powerclean + front squat.

Same as usual, keeps breaks to around 45seconds, arse nearly to the floor.

39kg - 8 - 8
46kg - 8
59kg - 8
66kg - 8
72kg - 4

Only just made the powerclean, heaviest done since of started back, carried no speed because of my back, but managed catch it because of my arms.
Had to stop there because my back was stupidly pumped could barely stand because of it, i get quite bad back pumps but this was a lot worse than normal.

Was messing about in the garage yesterday, managed to bend a 4inch nail, found a 6inch one, got a decent kink in it but couldnt get the full bend my wrists were too tired, had a go at a 3inch one too, but its too small.
Had hand doms today
Bent 2 more today, easier than the one yesterday, and faster.
Going to work my way up to a 6inch by doing a couple of 4inch ones every now and then.
Havnt got enough strength in my wrists to do a 6 yet.

Also managed to get a 2inch thick bar to go over my inch thick one, so next back day i`ll use that see how heavy i can go, should give my forearms and hands a good workout anyway, might try some static holds.

Cardio in the morning tomorow if i can be arsed, shoulders at night.

No cardio this morning, late wake up.

Shoulders just.
26kg- 5 - 5 - Strict press, slow.

Clean + Push press

39kg - 5 - 5 - I might have been a bit enthausiastic with the first clean and made contact with my chin
46kg - 5 - 5
54kg - 5
59kg - 5
66kg - 3 - Think 5 would have been possible with this.
72kg - 1 - Just missed a second, didnt really go for it enough, powerclean was solid though.
46kg - 10

Better than last shoulder session, everything felt a lot easier, i`ll go for max reps with 66kg next time.

I`m tempted to work towards a 100kg bench next chest session, i`ll see how i feel on the day.

Cardio before brekky;
5 mins resistance 1 - approx 80rpm,
25mins resistance 3 - approx 85rpm.

Really tired this morning so didnt bother with anything too taxing.

May do some cardio tomorrow morning too.

missed this journal

good to see someone else my age training. if i can help with anything just gissa shout, not an expert or anything though

'i split with my gf because it made me feel sick when i saw her eat hi gi carbs'
- swordfish

Cheers for popping in.

Think i`m sorted tbh, know what works for my body, cant keep a structured diet i just cant control my eating at night, which i need to sort, cant think theres owt else, cheers for the offer though

Been following your journal, will probs drop by soon bud.

Chest tonight.
Bench.
Tried a different thing today, as i was going for 100kg.
26 - 5 - 5
50kg - 5
60kg - 3
70kg - 2
80kg - 1
90kg - 1
96kg - 1 - Most ive ever pressed, happy with that - Felt easy, so went for;
100kg - F - Oooops only just missed it to be fair, i know i would have made 98kg.

Really really strong off the chest, but the tri`s couldnt take over, will do some work on this next chest session, really wide grip benching to start, try to take my tri`s out of it, or pre-exhaust my chest or, touch and go, so i can them working more, then do some isolation after with press ups.

I also didnt like this warm up as much, didnt feel right, so wont be using it again.

Well that was a failure tried to salvage by a drop set.
66kg - 10 - Drop
46kg - 9

**** eating day yesterday, **** eating day today, so its my fault i didnt make it, ah well.

Still got light DOMS in my back.
Thick bar back work tomorrow, got myself a 2" thick bar, not expecting anything, as i know my grip isnt very good, think i`ll go for deads, work up in 3`s, see the max weight i can shift, going to look for a way to get more weight on the bar as high rep stuff sucks arse. Then onto Rows, will decide tomorrow if thick bar or normal.

100kg next week mate!

 Body Weight - 75kg
Bench - 140kg
Squat - 180kg
Deadlift - 180kg

Age - 21

I dont know if i dare now seems a bit counter productive.

Think some tri work on shoulder day, try some heavyish doubles next chest, and see how i am from there.

Its not nice moving the bar how you do mate!

Deads tonight.
Used 2 little peices of 2 inch thick bar first;
54kg - 3
69kg - 3
87kg - 3
100kg - 3
Because i was using little bits they were rolling about, so i left it there, will use a long peice next time, and my hands are too sodding small.
Was interesting if nothing else.

Onto 1 inch thick bar;
100kg - 3
111kg - 3
124kg - 3
136kg - 3
145kg - 3
158kg - 3 - Could have done around 2-3 more, legs making it very backy, left it there.

Had a mess about, thats all i can get on the bar now.

Forgot;
Bent over BB rows
46kg - 8
59kg - 8

Limiting factor on deads, is my leg strength, it was forcing me to start with my back more in line with the floor, so they were getting backy come the end. Even though, i still reckon about 170-175 could have been shifted very comfortably on this smooth bar. One with knurling maybe more. When legs get better i`ll have a decent pull i reckon.

My back has plenty of power in it for more reps and weight, its just the first bit with the legs, loads in the grip too.

So the plan is, too keep around 140kg for the next few sessions, pull in 2`s or 3`s, too make sure my form is great, and to make sure my legs dont fatigue. Reckon it will proably take about 3-4 session till they have caught up.

Its annoying knowing what i pulled tonight, i used to be able to pull for over 10, think my best with it was around 13-14.

Alrite session all in all.

 My Journal, Pics And Deadlift Videos Included, All Welcome.....

Wasnt going to train today, left it really late, decided to force myself anyway, start time 11:10.

Not a lot of weight used everyones in bed so didnt want to make any noise.

Legs;

30 seconds break to pick on my legs, 2 seconds down, pause, 2 up.
39kg - 8 - 8 - 8
No break
46kg 8 - back to 30 - 8 - 8 - 8

Back cramp again too, leg and back day swap around i think.

This is shocking, i have no endurance at all, this absolutely battered me i`m disgusted with myself.

Cant wait till i have a rack and can get some strength training in for them.

Ive been crap with the cardio so far due to being a zombie in the morning, decided now when i do cardio, i`ll make it an hour.

Weight still 15 stone, only week so far ive not put weight on, i`ll take that as a good thing.

Managed to get more protein in now, been getting around 200g a day, carbs still near 1000g ive been trying to control myself but it just isnt happening god help me if i ever attempt a cut.

Shoulders tomorrow.

 My Journal, Pics And Deadlift Videos Included, All Welcome.....

Shoulders tonate.

Interesting one this, theory behind it, ignore the weight, and just get the lactic acid started, the rest is basically just going through the movements to add to it, volume and rest breaks making the lactic acid build up.

So;
Seated BB overhead press, 30seconds break,
26kg - 8 - 8 - 8 - no break;
39kg - 8 - 30 break - 6 - 6

Then, no break, into 1 front raise, and 1 side raise,
8kg - 4 of each - 20 break
BB OH press - 26kg - 10 - 20break - S+F Raise - 4.5kg haha - 8 each

Took about 10-15secs rest inbetween;
OH 26 - 8 - S+F raise 4.5 - 8
OH 26 - 8 - S+F raise 4.5 - 8
OH 26 - 8 - S+F raise 4.5 - 8

Straight into BB curls;
BB curl 26 - 8 - 10 seconds then
39kg - 4 straight into - 26kg - 6 - 15seconds, then into - DB alternating curls - 8kg - 7
Straight to BB 26kg - 3 - arms couldnt move anymore.

All done with loads of tensing in between, the pump was incredible even though i was basically just going through the movements.

Come in the house, so about 2mins break, 30sec break;
Against my bed, press ups for tri`s - 10 - 8 - 8

So 23sets in total.

This was great tbh, i`m almost ashamed typing that, it looks pathetic, even more so due to the weights, but the pump was great, still here around 30mins later which isnt usual.

If you havnt tried this before have a go.

Will try to get a cardio session in tomorrow morning, see how i feel when i wake up.

 My Journal, Pics And Deadlift Videos Included, All Welcome.....

Couldnt be arsed with cardio this morning, really hungry and tired, 10 slices of toast, with a tin of beans with a bit of cheese sorted the hunger.

Done some cardio tonight;

Kept rpm around 80-85
5 mins resistance 2
10 mins resistance 3
10 mins resistance 4
10 mins resistance 5 - quite uncomfortable, last 5 kept around 95
10 mins resistance 4
10 mins resistance 3
5 mins resistance 2

People who do this for fun are f*cking barmy, i was bored sh!tless!

Quite hard i was really feeling it on the highest resistance.

 My Journal, Pics And Deadlift Videos Included, All Welcome.....

Done some cardio tonight,

5 mins resistance 2
5 mins resistance 5
20mins resistance 4

Couldnt keep it on 5 me legs didnt agree.

Starting to really get into training, ive been itching to lift all day, i`m actually looking forward to sessions now.

Bent 7, 4 inch nails yesterday, there getting easy now, have to get some 6 inch ones soon.

Think ive decided i`m going to shed some fat now slowly, fed up of being a bloater now.

Chest tomorrow.

 My Journal, Pics And Deadlift Videos Included, All Welcome.....

Chest tonight, didnt feel great soon as i started, felt very weak from the start.

Flat BB bench, all paused.

26kg - 8 - 8
39kg - 8 - 8
46kg - 6 - 6
59kg - 6
70kg - 6
80kg - 3
86kg - 1
92kg - 1 paused - 2nd touch and go.
96kg - 1 paused, didnt lock out, came back around 1/3 of the way, and back up.

90kg - touch and go - 1 + 1/3 rep
90kg - 1 - came back half way, on the way up failed, but i arnt afraid of failing anymore.
Didnt lock out on them, trying to fry my tri`s.

Incline level 2 (around 45degrees) Clean it then sit down with it, 46kg - 8
Incline 1 (around 30degrees) - 46kg - 8
Flat - 46kg to failure - 7

Bench Dips, 5
+ 10kg - 5
+20kg - 10

Pleased how the session ended up, going to train just touch and go for a couple of session, i`m really strong off the chest, i reckon 110 could be moved the about the half way point, but ive got nothing past that, so hopefully touch and go should help.

Also try to get some tri work in, the dips were nearly all tri, and they failed too.

Measured my quads the other morning, right is 1/2cm away from 28inches, lefts over 27now. So over an inch gain to each since i started again.

Back

Felt sh!t before, thought this was going to be a crap session, 3 poor days earing behind me.

Thick bar deads;
46kg - 5
66kg - 3
86kg - 3
99kg - 3
112kg - 3
125kg - 8 - weight started slipping off the end, needed to add more chalk so left it.

Really happy with this tbh, so much easier using a full length peice instead to the 2, 4 inch cut ofs last session, would have happily gone heavier if more weight could have been added, really like these, more than on a standard bar. Your made to pull slower, in a more composed manner due to grip being the weak link.

Feels a lot better in the hands, forearms get worked nicely aswell.

Onto the 1 inch thick bar;
137kg - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3 - 3

All nice and slow, starting really low making sure i`m working my legs hard, really thinking about the technique, so i dont shoot my hips to early leaving my back doing all the work. Bar hurt my hands though after the thick one.

Bent over BB row, parallel to the floor;
46kg - 8
59kg - 8 - 6

Just really burnt out by time these came round, so kept it light, then burnt out totally come the last set.

Happy with this session, all good.

 My Journal, Pics And Deadlift Videos Included, All Welcome.....

Legs;

Powerclean + Front squat.

39kg - 8 - 8
46kg - 8
59kg - 8
66kg - 8
78kg - 5

Not managed to go this heavy before, heaviest powerclean since ive been back training too.

It wasnt the prettiest, but it wasnt too bad, i`ll do some powerclean work after shoulders tomorrow if i`m not too tired.

Took a video of one of my sets, i reckon my arse is maybe 3-4 inches away from touching the floor, so thats very good, even lower than i thought i was going.

It was a good workout, but not good, because i want to do low rep heavy work, i dont like training like this, i dont enjoy it at all. And i cant ever go to failure, because i`ll end up a broken mess on the floor.

Think i might try some barbell hack squats next week see how they go.

Ah well, needs must, at least they are getting bigger and stronger.

 My Journal, Pics And Deadlift Videos Included, All Welcome.....

Strict press
54kg - 4 - straight to;
46kg - 5

Just had nothing left at all, making alrite progress anyway, hope to get 78kg next week.

Think i`m going to try to add a quarter squat into the powerclean next time, should allow me to do it easier.

Going to try to do some cardio tomorrow.

 My Journal, Pics And Deadlift Videos Included, All Welcome.....

Starting to get frustrated on non training days now.

So today, some powercleans.

90kg - 1

Think i`ll use the thick bar next week just for a change.

Wasnt happy, felt very weak and i was sweating like mad before i started, but considering i wasnt properly hydrated, and i was fueled by a pack of beef supernoodles, a tin of tuna, and around 100g of pasta, it was alrite.

Trying to get on top of my eating now, normally eating around 1000carbs, around 800before training.

Try to get sub 400 then go from there, try to get a lot of liquid to stop the food cravings.

Back

I was pouring with sweat before i started, i ended up soaking, this weather isnt good.

Thick bar deads.
46kg - 5
66kg - 3
86kg - 3
99kg - 3
112kg - 3
125kg - 10

Was storming along with these, i reckon i could have gone near 15 today, my grip was really really solid too, happy days.

1 inch bar
141kg - 3
141kg - 3
141kg - 3
141kg - 3
141kg - 3 + Static hold for 10seconds.

Was going to do some 1 hand deads, but not in this weather after that, my hands were in peices too.

All easy today, could have carried on with these but i was so wet, so uncomfortable i decided i wouldnt.

Look forward to getting in a gym, or getting a oly set so i can start going heavy and pushing myself because this seemed very easy, and i dont like high reps.

 My Journal, Pics And Deadlift Videos Included, All Welcome.....

Managed to get more protein in now, been getting around 200g a day, carbs still near 1000g ive been trying to control myself but it just isnt happening god help me if i ever attempt a cut.

How the fcuk are u necking back a 1000g carbs a day.

Solid lifting though mate - but i hate singles doubles and tripples

I`m quite a binge eater buddy.

On a bad day, i`d probs get around 300g from bread, around 500 from pasta and that will be spread over 3 meals, so when the snacking starts it just gets worse, i can just carry on eating all day without being full though, just feel hungry all the bastard time, managed to keep around 300 carbs today though, the weather is helping too.

I like low rep work, but i enjoy high rep work more, i just want to add a bit of strength before i start on the higher stuff, next week will all be higher reps though give my body a bit of a break.

 My Journal, Pics And Deadlift Videos Included, All Welcome.....

If your going to binge heavy on carbs mate eat complex carbs 2-3hours befor you work out, then switch over to simple carbs after your workouts.

It all comes down to wanting to get 10reps+ out of a respectable wieght, that is a hard thing to do.

Ye cheers mukka i`ll look into something like that, tbh i`m trying knock it on the head now its no good mentally or physically.

Eventually i`ll look to getting a good blend of low rep, and high rep work into my routine, i`d like to be good at both, like yourself, your strength digusts me, especially with your age.

Legs
Barbell hack squat.
46kg - 5

R - 10 L - 10
R - 10 L - 10
R - 10 L - 10
R - 10 L - 10

2 leg calf raises - 40

Really burning by the end of that, currently around 17inches, hope to get them to 18inches soon as poss.

Good news, my dad wants to turn the garage into a gym, wants to get rid of the viynl weights and get an oly set so theres more space, also make a scaffold rack for there too, just need to get rid of some stuff from in there first.

Look forward to that, i can start chasing numbers on my deads and squats at last.

 My Journal, Pics And Deadlift Videos Included, All Welcome.....

Just steady this week, did me grandads lawn for him, left at 11, back at 5, didnt have any food till about half 5 - 6, so i needed take it steady really.

Back tomorrow, very light, dont think i`ll to deadlifts tomorrow, my backs in peices after today, think i`ll go for 1 handed thick bar deads, they will be really light, then some BB rows to finish.

Still keeping my carbs right down, odd thing though, even though i`m eating a hell of a lot less, and ive been sweating like mad, ive still not got lighter from a fortnight ago 15stone 2 now.

Is bf down though? Great sign if it is as it will mean you've put on muscle while loosing fat.

Are you cutting to?

 Body Weight - 75kg
Bench - 140kg
Squat - 180kg
Deadlift - 180kg

Age - 21

I`m a lot less bloated bud, couldnt say if theres less fat or not.

I`ll have to take a pic soon to have a look.

I wouldnt say i`m cutting, theres not enough to cut into, just making sure i dont get too fat.

I think my body is good at adapting to changes in calories and carbs due to how ive been in the past with food.

When i did a mini cut when i used to train, i bulked on around 4-5k, and cut on around 1800 with cardio.

Lost around a pound a week, and ended up with abs at 14stone 2.

I`ll put some pics up soon anyway.

Lot harder than mixed grip, my girl hands are no good for this

Reckon there was another 15-20kg left.

34kg - R+L - 1

49kg - attempt with right, slipped off like i wasnt trying to hold it.

Next time i`ll make bigger jumps as i know roughly what i can do now, weight of bar needs to be added, i`ll weight it tomorrow maybe.

Dont know what would be considered a respectable lift on these, but i`ll work towards adding 20kg to each hand.

Going to make saturday a grip work day, single hand thick bar deads, followed by single hand standard bar deads, with some nail bends at the end.

 My Journal, Pics And Deadlift Videos Included, All Welcome.....

Just to add, managed to bend 8 4 inch nails after tonights workout, they are getting really really easy now.

Need to get some 6 inch nails now.

Arnt too sure how to build up to them though.

Plenty of tensing after too, felt really pumped.

Alrite that. Still got fore-arm DOMS from back day.

Still keeping the eating under control, apetite seems to have gone completely, so not eating much at the moment.

Will try to get some tuna and bread down me now, then just tuna again later.

I think i might switch my workouts more aimed at size now, have to have a think about it.

 My Journal, Pics And Deadlift Videos Included, All Welcome.....

Grip

Onto 1 inch bar, single hand deads.

61kg - R+L - 1
68kg - R+L - 1
74kg - R+L - 1

On these, the grip wasnt the problem, it was keeping it balanced, so left it at that.

Good improvement on the thick bar, and improvement from the last time i tried with the inch bar, with more in the tank too.

Still keeping on top of the eating, not enough protein though, but all is well.

 My Journal, Pics And Deadlift Videos Included, All Welcome.....

Foods been good today.

Managing to keep a lid on things, sub 100 carbs for the first time in absolutely ages, around 80.

Hard to keep on top of the cravings i`m getting to just gorge myself though, i think i`m going to have a small blow out tomorrow on the carb front, i`m finding it hard to not really got for it, very frustrating tbh.

Bench tomorrow, going to use the thick bar i think, just to get used to using it, not going to go heavy, unless i feel really really strong, dont think so after this drop in carbs today though.

What did the 80 carbs consist of?

Thats what I eating tomorrow..

About finding it frustarting to not really go for it.. Are you taking anything to help with energy levels/performance? Red Bull, caffeine, eph, creatine?

It was only from bread, just ate it with some tuna, so not really the best source either.

No nothing mate, i try not to eat any processed foods, and wont take anything thats not naturally occuring in the body.

Ive got some creatine mono actually from when i used to train, i arnt sure what kind of effect that would have.

Its not so much the energy levels thats doing it, its more the physical feeling that i`m missing, i`m used to eating 250-300g of pasta with cheese and tomato sauce, with either eggs or a tin of tuna as my breakfast, and i`ll eat that again at tea, with 2-3 other meals in the day.

I know its no good for me how ive been, but its odd, its quite an addictive feeling in an odd way, much like when i used to starve myself, but without the lathargic feeling.

But even after not eating carbs late last night, and having them lower today, i can see i`m already looking dryer, so its making quite a difference.

Just had a quick scan through you had some nice lifts before and they seem to be coming back now! It can't be easy for you going from such high carbs to <100g a day! Im going to start cutting next week and am dreading the lowish carbs

Ye the lifts are slowly coming back, cant go heavy on deads or squats though, i reckon i could dead around 180 now if i had the weight.

Just overhead i`m around 10kg off, rows about 20kg off, beat my old bench though.

Ye it wasnt pleasant, drank about 7 pints of water last night in around 30mins, and it confused my body, woke up this morning and i didnt even feel hungry. I`m going to work low carb days into my routine, on non training days low, and eventualy no carbs, then normal on training days, did this when i used to train and it worked alrite to shed a bit of fat.

Today so far, had 6 slices of cheese on toast then shot out to have a part changed on me motor, got in and i felt sick i was so hungry, 320g of pasta (uncooked weight), fist full of cheese, and some tomato sauce. Flew down like nothing. Just finished that, and i`m still very hungry, it hasnt even touched the sides, so ive got 4 boiled eggs, and i`ll have them with 4 slices of bread, then force myself to stop, then tea at around 5-5:30pm i`ll have 2 chicken breasts and limit myself to 150g of pasta with that. Train around 8-9pm so i`ll probs just have some tuna before, just play training by ear.
