Workout B 12/01/16

Squats 5x5 @ 22.5kg

OHP 5x5 @ 20KG

Deadlift 1x5 @ 40kg

Definitely more of an evening gym person that a 5:30am gym person :o
 
So yeah, I went slack again after new job stuff, doing my ankle in again and cricket nets starting again.


Workout A 19/2/16

Squats 5x5 @ 20KG
Bench Press 5x5 @ 20KG
Barbell Row 5x5 @ 30kg

Felt fine considering nets were last night. Just gotta stick to this for it to be worth it...
 
Workout B 21/02/16

Squats 5x5 @ 22.5kg

OHP 5x5 @ 20KG

Deadlift 1x5 @ 40kg

That feeling of 'eurgh' in my muscles is coming back to me, hah.
 
Week 2 Workout B 26/02/16

Squats 5x5 @ 27.5kg

OHP 5x5 @ 22.5KG

Deadlift 1x5 @ 45kg

Felt in agony for a fair bit mostly due to nets being last night and bowling a lot more than normal and particularly noticeable on the OHP which I feel I struggle enough with already. Was tempted to leave it another 24 hours but somehow dragged myself in for the sake of routine.

Ho hum.
 
Week 2 Workout A 28/02/16

Squats 2x5 @20KG, 5x5 @ 30KG

Bench Press 5x5 @ 27.5KG

Barbell Row 5x5 @ 35KG

Barbell Rows at the end were a bit of a nuisance. Still feel like my form might be iffy on everything, grip felt a little awful on squats at the end. Will read up on SL site tomorrow, but so far, relatively good.
 
Week 2 Workout B 1/03/16

Squats 5x5 @ 32.5KG

OHP 5x5 @ 25KG

Deadlift 1x5 @ 50KG

Managed the OHPs but only due to taking 3 minutes off rather than the 90 seconds. I'm starting to think this is a lot harder the second time around and I've no idea why.

Also a rough food diary, am I kinda doing it right?

Breakfast: 3 eggs (scrambled) w 3 slices of bacon OR porridge, 25g whey with 150ml whole milk, orange juice, coffee

Mid morning: Belvita biscuits or some nuts of some sort

Lunch: Chicken, lettuce, tomato on wholemeal x2, Arla 20g protein soft cheese, yoghurt

Mid afternoon: Nature Valley protein bar

Dinner: Generally leftover chicken from Sunday in a curry with rice and a naan bread, or pasta w/chicken, sauce etc

Evening: 25g whey with whole milk, cup of hot cocoa.
 
If I eat any more I will die. Remember I'm absolutely tiny.

Somehow need to go tonight but cricket on the Thursday is pulverizing me; took the first bouncer to the chest of the season last night, eurgh.
 
Week 3 Workout A 05/03/16

Squats 2x5 @20KG, 5x5 @ 35KG

Bench Press 5x5 @ 27.5KG

Barbell Row 5x5 @ 37.5KG

As above, needed that extra rest day, but even now still a little sore.
 
Week 4 Workout A 12/03/16

Squats 2x5 @20KG, 1x3 @ 30KG, 5x5 @ 40KG

Bench Press 2x5 @ 20KG, 5x5 @ 30KG

Barbell Row 5x5 @ 40KG

Unable to go the last few nights so lost track a little. Slowly starting to feel the aches, better be worth it, hah.
 
Week 3 Workout B 19/03/16

Squats 2X5 @20KG , 3X3 @ 30KG , 5x5 @ 42.5KG

OHP 5x5 @ 30KG

Deadlift 1x5 @ 60KG

Obviously not helped by not going in a week, played football Monday and subsequently suffered for it, followed by Thursday nets. Currently wondering how on Earth I am managing the OHP...
 
Workout A 21/03/16

Squats 2x5 @20KG, 1x3 @ 30KG, 5x5 @ 45KG

Bench Press 2x5 @ 20KG, 5x5 @ 32.5KG

Barbell Row 5x5 @ 42.5KG

Squats and the barbell rows had me putting a real sweat on. Jesus.
 
Another hectic week means another long gap...

Workout B 26/03/16

Squats 2x5 @20KG, 1x3 @ 30KG, 5x5 @ 47.5KG

OHP 2x5 @ 20KG, 5/4/5/2/0 @ 32.5KG

Deadlift 1x5 @ 65KG

First failure with the OHP doesn't come as a surprise compared to the last time, if anything I'm not even fussed because I knew it was inevitable. Real tough to do it when I'm still feeling it from squats. Also regarding the former I'm starting to feel a fair bit of pain afterwards in the right wrist, so that needs addressing for sure...
 
Reviving this after almost 3 years. Ah. Life just in the way too much to commit like I had intended back then, but now with a new-ish job and a gym next door with everything reasonably priced I'm ready to dive back into SL from scratch, and with any luck also be able to do Mon/Wed/Fri fairly consistently.

Starting this Monday; I will more than likely post some videos of my form so you guys can weigh in again on where I'm going right/wrong

Cheers!

Get in.

Just crack on, get the three days in bud. I go at lunchtimes, which granted is a bit of a rush but it works for me
