Having started and not updating my previous journal I thought it was about time to try again.
Last journal was specifically aimed at prepping for the over 50's but fell by the wayside as I picked up niggling injury after niggling injury.
This time there'll be no set target date. The aim is to be injury free, train my ass off as always and assess after a few months.
I'm not ruling out a comp next year, I'll see how things pan out.
I'm currently sitting at around 87/88kg and around 14/15% body fat. I've got upper abs.
Training is 6 days per week as I thrive off volume. I do 25 minutes of cardio 4 to 5 mornings a week before work.
Weights in the evening. Usually split by single body parts although I'm considering trying something different.
My strong points are delts, back, shoulders and triceps whilst my weakest areas are calfs, biceps (stubborn buggers). My hammies and quads are OK but I'd like to improve on them.
Lifts at the current time are:
Squat -160kg x 7 reps
DL - 220kg x 3 and 200kg x 6
DB FLAT bench - 50kg x 8 for 3sets
Decline Bench BB - 180 x 5
Seated OHP 90kg x 5
I trained chest this evening.
Briefly consisted of
Reverse grip Bench press - 6 sets working up to 110kg x 8. 2 sets were TUT
Plate loaded bench press - incline - excellent machine that really hits the pecs. 3 heavy sets up to 75 kg each side and 2 sets of TUT
Cable flys - 5 sets, high to low.
Weighted dips leaning forward - 4 sets up to 40kg added, 8 reps.
Done
