Well here we go with the next move forward, ive been meaning to start a journal for some time and i think what stopped me was the feeling that any negative feedback would somehow knock my confidence but thats just me. Any way i came back to training in Sept 2006 to get fit and ended up going in all the way, when i started i went on a bulk and got to 202lbs at one point and finally stopped at 199.5lbs. Im now on week 4 of cutting and at the moment weigh in at 190lbs;.
Workout.
Day 1.
CHEST & BICEPS
Day 2.
Quads,Hamstrings & calves
Day3.

All workouts at the moment finish with 30 mins of cardio, and Day1 & Day 3 i work Abs as well.

Hey Colin do you not incorporate am cardio into your routine?

From my cutting experience i find it much easier to loose bf thrugh am cardio. I find when im doing a weights session i want to smash the weights then get out of the gym ASAP.

Good look anyhow.

I would love to be able to do that. But my AM cardio is running after three energy abundant girls and get them fed and ready for school and nursery. lol

LMAO ok you win hands down lol.

Amazing workout last night but when your in with the big boys you just push you all the harder, im finding that im getting a really good pump these days maybe because ive changed my routine slightly and its more of a challenge or iys more to do with my mental standing as when your looking in the mirror when your pumped and saying to yourself" looking good but this could be better & that needs to worked on. happy days!!

Anyone gives you negative feedback and they are not worth bothering about, this is a section for people to improve themselves and post up improvements or lack of
Others on here, should be here to offer encouragement and to share the highs, and help you outta the lows.

Anyway, what I am saying is good luck Colin, I'll pop in when I have time and I hope you achieve your goals..

  
You only bench, squat and clean!!

yeah it's true, check my journal

Thanks m8, got back to my diet seriously to day as this must be the basis for everything to grow from. my wife has decided to get back to training so more power to her, ive started taking my creatine with my protein drink in the morning and at night and this is a new thing to me but i thought id give it a try, Delts & Triceps tomorrow so itll be a hammer session and cardio for dessert..yum yum!!

"A man can be anything he wants as long as he,s willing to pay the price"

Just got back from the gym and it was triceps & delts today, really starting to get there as i was told by a couple of the peoplr training that my definition is really starting to come through and my cut seemed to be going really well. Im also getting that buzz just s i walk into the gym in knowing what im going to do and it really kick me off to go hard , maybe this is just the vanity kicking in when people stop and look when you train either that im making a complete b****x of the whole thing lol.
weight up on rope pulldowns 3x8 at 110
also on seated presses 3x8 at 44lbs

I know this is the third straight entry but who cares, im eating for the frst time in 48hrs as i caught some kind of virus and couldnt even hold any fluid down so as of yesterday i was 6.5lbs lighter. My wife reckons i wont be able to train until properly re-hydrate so it will be wednesday before i get to the gym , it can seem that you take one step forward and two steps back sometimes, but hey ho onward and upward!.

"A man can be anything he wants as long as he,s willing to pay the price"

Weight back up tp 186 lbs and throughly rehydrated so back to the gym today, i swear nobody reads this log. ah well at least i can use it for a reference.

Best of luck mate - will pop in from time to time to see your progress.

Keep it going

GRIFF'S JOURNAL

For the first time back i had a really good workout but when i got home i felt a bit light so my wife done my blood sugar which was 5.1 so i been told to diversify my diet for the next few days as i still may be missing a few things ( a brain for a start) so ill comply and start to step things back up and start cutting again .

"A man can be anything he wants as long as he,s willing to pay the price"

getting back into the swing of things and feeling good apart from my right knee giving out during deads, this has happened now with both knees and i must admit its p****** me off cause i feel its holding me back as my calves and quads were coming on and now i feel ive lost size on my quads or is this muscle dysmorphia?. Chest and Pecs tomorrow and time to upgrade my weight on arms as my wife said my arms look thin!.

"A man can be anything he wants as long as he,s willing to pay the price"

finding it difficult to get rid of the last 8 lbs and get to my target weight, it could be that catching the viral thing last week kinda knocked me sideways more than i thought. Should be legs today but im still having problems with my right knee so ill have to change my training routine for the next couple of weeks to let this rest and start with light weights to begin with, apart from this still feel good and confident about getting to the weight and size i want to be...Bring It On!!.

"A man can be anything he wants as long as he,s willing to pay the price"

Dropped a jean size and strength gains are going well,All my weights are up as i feel really motivated and confident as the the weather is fantastic this helps your state of mind. Still having trouble shifting that last 6-7 lbs but thats the challenge and it wont beat me!, ive also put half an inch on my biceps (YAHOO!) so it feels like its all coming together.

Chest and Biceps today and the Pit was quiet with no six stone Schwarzeneggers around so i could focus. Chest seems to be coming on with the DB presses and flyes feeling good also really getting into hammering Biceps with single arm preacher curls at 40lbs on 3x 8 reps and barbell curls on 44lbs for 12,10,8 & 4 reps, im still waiting to feel flat so im wondering if im doing something wrong as when i look in the mirror i feel i look good apart from the AB,s but thats what dieting and doing three ab workouts per week is for, my target is 180 lbs and im in the last 6lbs towards that and dropping more carbs may be the answer so rom this week im trying to have just veg and no potato,s and see how this helps also cutting Burgen out as well.
