Oh yeah, also just weighed myself at the gym - 193.5lbs. Heaviest I have ever been by a fair amount! I guess I'll be close to 200lbs by the end of the next linear training cycle.
At which point I should probably consider cutting!

Back in the gym today after a 6 day break - I wanted to have a full week off but just couldn't stay out of the gym that long!
This is the start of a new cycle of linear 5x5 for hopefully approx 7-8 weeks (that's my target at least!)
13/04/08
Squat - 5x67.5, 5x85, 5x100, 5x117.5, 5x135
Bench - 5x52.5, 5x67.5, 5x80, 5x92.5, 5x107.5
Row - 5x40, 5x50, 5x60, 5x70, 5x80
All weights fairly comfortable - although the last set on squats wasn't overly easy!
If I can last 8 weeks on this programme, I will be:
squatting 160 for 5
benching 127 for 5
deadlifting 188 for 5
Rowing 94 for 5
Seems ambitious, but that is my nature!
Bring it on!

good lifting still fella, good luck on getting to 200lbs
it depends on what you look like, if you do not have a large amount of fat it may be an idea to keep bulking, only photos can tell us that though

26th April
Should have done this workout on the 25th but was too knackered.
Squat - 5x5x72.5,90,110,127.5, 3x150, 8x110
Bench - 5x60,72.5,85,100, 3x117.5, 8x85
Row - 5x42.5,52.5,62.5,75, 3x87.5, 8x65
Tidying up my diet and adding two days of cardio on Sat and Sun to try and cut slightly - but still trying to get stronger.

Starting to cut up now my diet so far is this:-
Wake 8:30 - Protein shake / 2 weetabix / water
10:30 - Protein shake / banana / Fish oil caps
12:00 - Tuna / Mince / Chix low GI Carb source (rice/sweet potato etc)
2:30 - Protein shake / banana (or apple) / Fish oil caps
17:30 - fish / toast
19:00 (on training days only) weetabix / milk
20:00 - 21:00 - Training
21:00 - Protein shake / dextrose
21:30 - Chix / Fish / Cottage cheese / some protein source with some low GI carb source (good sized meal).
If hungry something else before bed (no carbs)
Quickly totting up the protein = approx 225g protein (understated - I'm sure it's more than that)
My goal is to keep improving my lifts, and slowly cut. Should be interesting, I will find this hard work I think.
