Well, finished 3 months of training now. Going good, and very tough! I'm now 11 stone :) Also bought some creatine which should be arriving next week so will be interesting to see if that helps or not. Anyway, been a good 3 months so far!

Well I'm hoping mostly muscle. I do have a bit of a belly now, well its mostly bloat however and in the morning it isn't as bad. Guess I need to measure bodyfat stats but from looking at myself (minus the belly) im a skinny bastard :P

DAY 37: Monday 12th May 08
Barbell squat: 2.5kg increase
(Warmup 10 x 20kg)
8 x 60kg
8 x 60kg
8 x 62.5kg
Struggled to get up on the 3rd rep on the last set and some guy noticed and helped me through the last remaining reps. Don't know if I just didnt rest long enough for that extra 2.5kg just killed me. Squats really are hard.
Standing military barbell shoulder press: 2.5kg increase
(Warmup 10 x 17.5kg)
8 x 30kg
8 x 30kg
7 x 30kg
Glad I changed shoulders to leg days, just so much better and progressing each week now.
Leg Press: 6kg increase
12 x 185kg
12 x 185kg
12 x 185kg
These are only front leg presses (gym only has this one) so I assume that is why it's quite easy compared to the 45 degree one.
RDL:
(Warmup 10 x 20kg)
8 x 60kg
8 x 70kg
8 x 70kg
Laterial rises: 2kg increase
8 x 10kg
8 x 10kg
8 x 10kg
Couldn't find the 9kg dumbells so tried 10kg. Managed them but form was a bit funny.
Calve raises:
20 x 93kg
20 x 93kg
20 x 93kg
5min running on treadmill. Was aiming for 15mins but I just coudln't do it. A mix of being unfit and being leg day. I'll aim to increase this each week.

Creatine arrived today along with some other stuff like omega3 pills etc and I received 2 of everything! I only ordered one of each... got a bit lucky there :D
Anyway, started the creatine today, took with this morning with 500ml water along with my breakfast. I'm not sure if i should take it twice on workout days, like 5g in the morning and 5g pwo. Have to see.

cardio was a long walk home. I will start doing this proper when I'm more settled down.
At a different gym today so weights where different on most machines. I'll be moving to this gym in a few weeks so I'll be reverting to that weight system eventually anyway.
Was good today, deadlifts just are killing me but I feel my form is perfect.. i feel no extra strain on my lower back. I'd like to get a video up but my only source of video capture is my laptop with an inbuilt webcamera... and I'm not bringing my laptop to the gym lol

Won't be able to make the gym as I'm flying back home today. Will pick it up tomorrow. Another day rest should be good anyway.
