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
