Quick update.

Trained Monday awful session.

Squats 110kg - 5/5/2/2/0
OHP - rested
Deads - 137.5kg - 0

Ok so basically started off ok on squats and then just collapsed.
Quite literally on the last set safety bars took the weight.
Shoulder was still not 100% tried testing a bit on the warm up but wasn't happy.
Deads was a joke couldn't even lift the bar off the floor !!!

Also being skinny and still cutting has started fcuk ing with my head.
Starting to get comments off people telling me to put on weight etc.
Felt a bit fed up.

Spoke to Dtlv about it and we're gonna start lean bulk at the weekend.
This is slightly earlier than planned and some may not feel I'm lean enough yet. But for me I'm just fading away and the fear is how low I have to go in weight before I'm properly lean.

The target was 160 pounds and I reckon by the weekend il be round about 162 pounds so pretty close.

To be honest I would much rather pack some size on and cut back again later on if necessary. My goals aren't to be ripped up anyway, I just wanna look like I train, look fairly big in t-shirt without getting too fat.
Staying below about 15% body fat.

Basically look bigger and better than the average joe, so not unrealistic.

Looking forward to eating more and hopefully gain some good quality size.

Pics and stats etc will be uploaded over next few days at start of the lean bulk.....

Look forward to seeing how you get on with it bud
 
This weeks weigh in 162.4 pounds.
Loss of 1.8 pounds.

So this should be lowest I go. Starting lean bulk from now so cals being bumped up. Had a week off shoulder seems to be ok so gonna try a training session today.

Pics for start of bulk to follow shortly.
