Caporegime
My last log has grown to quite some size and for anyone trying to gather useful information it can be difficult. This is partially due to size and also because I've been swapping and changing routines a lot recently. This new log will help make things cleaner to follow.
I have been struggling to decide on which direction I want to head with my training. I have good strength and decent size, but ultimately I decided I want to focus on strength for the long term. This should provide a little size and possibly some fat shredding. I'm also introducing sprinting on the treadmill to help with conditioning.
I'll be doing Jim Wendler's 5/3/1, which I have finished cycle 1 and about to start cycle 2 today.
Here's what cycle 1 looked like. I didn't take a deload before starting, so I'm not sure how much this affected things.
I'm hoping that introducing sprints won't hamper my lifts too much, maybe in the short term they will but that's fine.
I currently weigh 82.7Kg and my diet is aimed at being a little over maintenance. I've decided to stay off caffeine so that means pretty much no pre-workout, but I will be taking 5g creatine daily.

Here's a couple recent pics which I can use to mark progress in a few months.
For those interested. I'm 27 and 5ft 11" and have been lifting since I was 19, but only seriously the past 3 years.
