Right thought i'd do an online journal this year not only so I don't forget what I did the week before but also to get some advice along the way !!
I've been training for about 2 1/2 years now - the first six months were a waste of time ( practically all isolation exercises and a million curls ! ). I then discovered MT and moved onto Frankies 3 day 5 x 5 split for about a year or so just tweaking the lifts every now and then. Then due to work committments etc and trying to get a business off of the ground I moved to a 2 day split for about a year.

Stats : I'm 23, 5'10 and 88kgs - I've done one 3 week cycle of SD and put on about 2kgs

I have just started Big Als 4 day split which does have a bit of a chest emphasis but i'm lagging here anyway but you dont know untill you've tried.

Monday 16th January

Light flat speed bench ( 5 x 15 )
70kg - 1 x 15 ( knackering - never gone above about 6 reps !! )
60kg - 1 x 15, 1 x 12
50kg - 1 x 15

Was just burnt out - will start with 60kg next week as I underestimated how taxing that would be

Incline bench ( 3 x 8 )
40kg - 3 x 8

Decline situps ( 3 x 15 )
Bw only - 3 x 15

Not a bad session although I was very weak on the bench !

Diet :

7.00 am - Whey in water, oats, cup of tea
10.00 am - egg cob
1.00 pm - ham and cheese sandwich, banana
3.30 pm Tuna cob
6.00 pm - Training
7.30 pm - homemade chicken curry

Roughly 3 litres of water thoughout the day

Tuesday 17th January

Deadlifts ( 3 x 5 )
60kg - 1 x 8
90kg - 1 x 6

Wide grip chins ( 5 x 5 )

Bent over barbell rows ( 5 x 8 )
50kg - 1 x 8
60kg - 4 x 8

Not bad - again just trying to find the right working weights really
I'm not sure on the chins though as I cant do that many anyway and I think the Lats take a real bashing with this routine so might just do Lat pull downs ? ? Any thoughts ?

Diet

7.00am - Whey in water, oats, cup of tea
8.00am - banana
10.00am - egg cob
1.30pm - ham and cheese sandwiches, bag of chopped carrots and celery
4.00pm - tuna cob
7.00pm - Training
8.30pm - PWO Whey in water
9.00pm - Chicken pie, potatoes and peas

Roughly 3 litres of water throughout the day

Wednesday 18th January

Today is a rest day - good job because I ache !!

Diet

7.00 - Whey in water
7.30 - Oats ( 2 packets of Oats so simple ), cup of tea
10.00 - 2 x egg cobs
2.00 - turkey sandwiches, scone
6.00 - Tuna cob, banana
7.30 - Chicken, pasta, garlic bread !

Also 2 to 3 Litres of water throughout day

If I ache this much tomorrow I might miss the heavy chest and shoulder workout ? Perhaps 4 times this week is a bit ambitious when I have only been going twice a week

Hey I remember you from ages ago mate.

What's this Leg Curl rubbish about? Not into SLDL's?

Some would say it's better to stick at the chins (regarded as a superior exercise) as you are going to improve eventually and become competent at them. I'd probably agree with that.

But Lat Pulldowns aren't a bad exercise at all in my opinion and they in my routine right now. That has a lot to with uncertainty about my shoulder though, and once I am fully confident with it I'll go onto chins. Chins are something I've always wanted to tackle but have never really got around to doing!

Hello mate ! Yeah well I was on here loads when i first joined - you couldn't get me off lol
I've been lurking for ages and not posting so thought it was about time I started posting again !!

No mate not a fan of SLDLs ! could never get the form right - I like the GHR's but havent got the facility at my gym at the minute !

Gonna alternate the chins with the lat pull downs for the time being untill I get better at them !!

Is that you in your sig mate ? lookin good

Yeah, I'm back after a year away from here too... I didn't have much time for internet forums as it was my final year of uni study, and I was also quite non focused in my training during that time.

And yep, that's me there but it was about 9 or 10 months ago, with a bit more upper body size than I have now - I had a shoulder problem and couldn't train much of my upper body for over 4 months. Getting it back now though.


SLDL's - it's all in the ass, as you move down you've got to visualise it moving towards the wall behind you. Well... that's how I got overcame a phase where I couldn't find my form on that exercise.

Good luck with the Chins!
