Gutsy workout. I had a horrendous headache right at the back of my skull after the squats. My eyesight went for a few seconds, thought I was going to throw up for a sec. Had to rest for about 5 mins but the headache was there, I could feel every heartbeat in my skull! The Pulldowns were particularly painful and I almost called it a night but just kept taking 1 set at a time. Started to ease off after the Military Press so I stuck with it.... I aint got time for no pain interupting my HST :/

Not sure what caused but I had an 8g serving of OAKG pre-workout which is the only new addition to my routine. I'll cut it back to 5g from now on!

Slightly rushed workout as I wanted to get back for the Spurs v Inter game. Forgot to do the Gironda's until halfway through tricep press, not good! Rest times were a little short on some also but decent workout. Back work wasn't as good as I'd like, needed to push quite hard and was worried about aggravating the injury.

Supposed to train yesterday but spent most of the day in bed. Weird pains in my stomach and my back was just aching like mad from my neck to my backside. Felt very lethargic, if I didn't know better I'd say it was a light dose of food poisoning. Didn't sleep well at all last night due to sleeping all afernoon either but decided to train anyway, feel better now :)

Been low-carbing and had surprising energy levels, wasn't looking forward to this workout. Shame I cocked the weights up a few times, I seem to make lots of silly mistakes when low-carbing.

Very little protein powder used, almost all calories are from steak, liver, lamb, mackerel, eggs, cheese, cream and coconut oil. Just a single 40g protein shake each day to boost intake. Looking quite lean now and around the 15st 4lb mark.

4 days with very low carb, under 15g yesterday and around 20g today but still feeling full of energy despite low calories aswell. I'm glad I bought the OAKG as this is kicking in now and making some of the pressing movements easier, as last time I tried it, it doesn't seem to help with pulling movements weirdly. It only seems to boost strength in chest and shoulders.

I've decided to boost calorie intake to minimise muscle loss during this low-carb phase and try to keep energy levels up. As before very little protein powder used, almost all calories are from steak, liver, lamb, mackerel, eggs, cheese, cream and coconut oil. Just a single 40g protein shake each day to boost intake, also using:

20g OAKG
20g Glutamine
20g BCAA - 4:1:1 ratio (training days only)

As it's been over a week since that last session of 10's and how ill I've been with hardly any food, I decided to start over again rather than try to continue. The 15's should give a nice easy break in without stressing my immune system too much. Still not fully recovered yet but I feel like I've lost all the progress I made.... bloody annoying! :rolleyes:

Its a shame. was wanting to see what kind of weight you got to with this. Good call starting again though, slow and steady and you might make it to the 5's :)
Good luck.

That's my new goal..... just see if I drag my knackered old carcass into the 5's without killing myself, don't care what I lift :)

By starting again at least I have more of an idea what weights to use instead of just guessing like I was before. Those in green are the differences from Workout 1 of the last cycle.

Only got to the gym at 9pm, by the time I'd warmed up it was 10 past so had exactly 50 mins to get the whole workout done.

Good focus throughout, very good workout. Though the low carbs were biting a little with the short rest times.
 
I feel like I've got the weights pretty much spot on, might not hit 15 on some of them but it's fine hitting 12 rep max's in week 2, just hurts more :)

Can't wait to see the results of this HST run along with the CBL diet, I've leaned up quite a bit already :)

Yeah, will be interesting to see the 2 combined.

HST and CBL seem made for each other and on paper at least it looks like perfect synergy. Haven't had enough time to report if it really is that good, got struck down with an awful virus exactly 1 day after I finished the 10 day zero carb start, gutted :(

Oh, I suggested pressing a car earlier, on our deadlift frame in the unit. Apparently it would be too heavy...... for now :D

Weird one today. I'm on leave but wanted to provide a buffet lunch for the office as one of them is leaving today, it's anothers birthday and they all did really well last month so wanted to say thankyou. But I'm CBL so to enable me to eat the buffet meant I had to to train this morning, which I HATE! Squats just woke up? Yuk!

Got the timing wrong and had to leave the gym early otherwise I'd have missed the lunchtime window. So I might go back this afternoon and finish the rest off... I feel sleepy now after all those carbs though lol :D
