William's Training Log (N00B Log)

I wouldn't add water until the last minute, even though it's probably fine in the fridge.

Creatine accumulates in tissues and acts as a phosphate donator, which gives slightly increases endurance in power based movements. The key word is accumulates, so there isn't much instant effect. Taking it with carbs is a good idea. Slightly more interesting are it's effects on glucose storage, nutrient transport and myostatin inhibition, but that's getting a bit unnecessarily complicated.

All you need to know is that it can help the ingredients necessary for growth enter your muscles, and it's one of the only supplements shown to do anything at all for hypertrophy.

Oh I see and so shall I just save the money even though its really cheap and leave it out atm?
 
Played Rugby this morning (On a killer hang over) last night was my day off for sure!
Anyway so because I turned up late, and coach wanted to put a less experienced side out first (The other team were pretty poor) I was sidelined for the first half then I came on second.. Unfortunately didn't score but stopped a few good runs down my wing :D Good game either way and we finished it like 47-7 I think.

Thought I'd add my Rugby games into my log because one of the main reasons I'm training to help improve my Rugby and well... Why not it's all sport I'm doing :D
 
How am I going to increase my lifts by 2.5KG because he lowest weight is 2.5KG at my gym so that would increase by 5??
 
You must be able to pick up some 1.25's or 0.5's to take in with you.

My gym's lowest plate is 1.25, for most major compounds it's a fine increment but on other isolation's it's a bit of a jump.
 
The gym I went to today had some so I just increased it by 2.5KG (only squats though) like the workout said.

Squats 52.5KG
Press 25KG
Deadlifts 40KG

We completed this really quickly tonight I think we were done in like 25 Minutes as it was an empty gym. Next sessions Wednesday and I forgot to get some film tonight so I will get some on Wednesday. Obviously I'll be doing workout A but if I have time Ill film just a few reps from workout B so you can help me before I go gym next :D
 
I did go gym friday only just had chance to update my log.
Just the standard progression of Workout A really I just increased it all by 2.5.KG
 
Good. Keep to that routine and you'll do well, don't chop and change like a **** like I did.

What are your working weights so far?
 
:( sorry guys. My partner wasn't with me tonight and I could record myself with my blackberry!! :( sorry! I'm finding that I'm really steaming through this session and getting it done even when I'm with my partner in around 30 minutes or less which is really dissapointing because I want to spend more time at the gym!?? What should I do??

Tonight
Squats 42.5 I got lost at what weights I was at :( and forgot buit now I have it on my phone stupid stupid mistake!
Overhead press 22.5 tbh I think for someone reason I've done more than that but I lost count ffs! I need to be a lot more organised because I know I won't get anywhere if I keep ****ing up like this!
Deadlifts 40
 
Indeed, go to Tesco/Asda and buy a small note pad to record everything, you don't want to be making up things as you go along :)

As for recording, stick it on a bench or on the floor and use a plate to hold the phone up...Alternatively invest in a cheap recording camera that stands on it's own accord.
 
I'm just putting it in on my phone! :D and usually I'm with a mate so he can record for me! And any ideas on what I could add to programme as my workouts are so short??
