Thought I'd make one of these for any advice/criticism and for a log I can look back at in the future.
Back at the gym since 4 weeks. Prior to that it's been 3 years since I was last attending.
First off I'll start by saying my current diet is not that great at all however once I've got a few things sorted that will change.
Secondly, my routine will be changing once I've either; changed gym or bought some equipment to do so at home. Been looking into Stronglifts a bit and will probably go for that.
The reason for the heavy machine usage is because the time that I go to the gym is peak, all benches are taken/queued up for and there are no barbells of suitable weight available. If there are free-weights available I'll go for them.
Daily food currently consists of..
7am - Cereal (Still need to decide what to have instead - not a fan of eggs, could probably stomach scrambled)
9am - Protein shake (44g protein / 52g carb)
11am - Generic breakfast bar
1pm - 200g of Rice and Chicken or Pasta and Tuna
3pm - Generic Yoghurt (Probably will replace these with "Protein Yoghurts")
5pm - 100g Cashew Nuts (18g protein)
7:30pm - Gym, protein shake when I finish.
9:30pm - Cashew nuts / Yoghurt.
Pretty much only drink water. No juice/fizzy squash, alcohol rarely, perhaps once or twice a month but nothing too heavy.
I don't think I could manage much more than the above!
Current bodyweight is 74.9kg, height 5'11.
Without further ado, yesterdays session was a somewhat quick leg day.
10 Minutes Crosstrainer
Seated Leg Press
18x 135kg, 18x 145kg, 18x 165kg, 18x 185kg
Seated Leg Extension
16x 75kg, 16x 85kg, 16x 95kg, 12x 105kg
Seated Leg Curl (This machine sucks and it's fairly difficult to keep my back straight/still - that's my poor excuse for the following)
16x 55kg, 16x 57.5kg, 16x 55kg, 8x 55kg.
No squats as it was too busy.
10 Minutes high-level crosstrainer to finish.
