Re: RE: My Journal - 30 September 2008 21:15
Update, training is going well still training hard since january, i have improved half a stone of solid muscle with a simple diet no steroids or supplements, im going to start putting how training went and what i done after every workout soon so i can look back on it as my training split is very inconsitant at the moment, im open to answer any tips/advice.

Now im back at college studying sports coaching devolpment fitness great course reccomend it have 2 years left on it, at the end it will be 3 a-levels during that time i wanna get up to level 3 personal training, get a lifesavers certificate level 2 coaching football and level 2 volleyball then bring on the real world of traveling/uni/work.

Been doing brazilian jui jit su for around 4 months now getting on really well fitness and flexibility improving still needs working on but my strength from gym is really helping me out!

Supplements once i have my routine sorted again they will be back in my life watch me pack on solid muscle as im only 17!

Re: RE: My Journal - 06 October 2008 21:58
Havent trained since my last post been so busy with parties college and work last night i was itching for a gym when i was in bed, and after colege today i finally made the gym going to make sure i do it every day this week also adding cardio-vascular cause i have photoshoot friday which i wanna be looking good in.

Monday (Legs & Abs)

Diet
Making sure i have banana and weetabix for breakfast i had a subway today foot long chicken and bacon there just irrestible, come home had some tuna fillets 30 seconds in the microwave there nice, then cheese runner beans carrots brocolli and chicken in some weird dish, with potatoes on the side very nice

College sports - a mile run completed i just under 7 mins, and 100 metre sprint completed in 13 seconds.

Gym

Bike Machine level 5 (hard) 3 minutes 0.79 distance i hope to improve on this before every leg workout

LEGS

Smith Machine Squats
25kg each side good form
first set - 12 reps
second set - 10 reps (thumb was hurting getting cramp in the abductor pollicis brevis its not nice)
third set - 8 reps

Machine Leg Press
180 - Setting 5 - 16 Reps
230 - Setting 5 - 10 Reps
Full Stack - Setting 5 - 8 Solid Reps

Leg abductors
Plate 10 Full Stack Setting 3 (quite wide)
Set 1 - 18 reps
Set 2 - 18 reps
Set 3 - 22 reps

Hamstring Curls
Dont really like this machine the settings always change and can never get it the way i want one day im going to stand there figure it out and write it down maybe next monday! or getting someone to put a dumbbell between my feet on laying on my stomach on a flat bench whats the exercise called?? anyway that.
Set 1 - 130 - 8 Reps
Set 2 - 115 - 8 Reps
Set 3 - 100 - 10 Reps

Smith Machine Calve Rasies
stand there with close width on between my legs rep range between 15-25 i always lose count i leave the same weight on as i have the squats and just do 3 sets simple.

ABS

Decline Bench Crunches
3 sets of this my lower abs were dead and there what i need to imprve so i left it at that i couldnt be bothered to count so i just let the feel take me through it i need to slowly improve my ab workout.

Another quesion. how do you manage to get a really defined v below your abs does that just come when you reduce your bmi or what?

MUSIC -
Young Jeezy presents U.S.D.A great cd the tracks really get me going!

My journal i about to get going on my path through the cold winter watch out for me people!!


Whos watching unbreakable channel 5 that progam is nuts!!

My Journey: The Road Ahead - 07 October 2008 18:11
Not gonna go juijitsu this evening my legs are too smashed from yesterday ill do the stretching at home. Rugby for college 2moro, then gym ill train back biceps, that leaves shoulders left which is my biggest mistake as i can never be bothered to go gym just for them then they slack so i must train them this week, must remind myself to do measurements of myself and take full body photos.
