Training Log - Update

Been a bit since I have posted my training logs. As it happens, when training is going great I sometimes slack on posting my logs. After slaving away at work, then smashing some weights I tend to get a bit tired and just put it off.

Much like the Emperor said in Return of the Jedi "Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen." (Yes I had to look up that quote). I keep a written log in a notebook that is very detailed with weights, reps, sets, feelings, measurements, etc. but I try to keep things simple on here.

Rather than go through a whole weeks worth of training in one post I will simply say that every workout has been like the previous week except with increased weights on all lifts (main lifts and accessories). I will post up today's workout (Sunday light bench day).

Wide Grip light bench presses- 4 warm up sets then two working sets of 10 reps. Backed off this a bit, as the previous weeks the last set I would hit 15 or more reps but that was kind of defeating the purpose of going light. I use a light day to help with recovery by getting blood flowing into the muscles.

Dumbell Flyes- 4 sets of 10 reps then a final set of 20 reps to burn out. These felt great.

JM Presses- 4 sets of 10 reps ramping up in weight each set. Last set was pretty tough but felt good.

Superset of
Tricep Ext- 4 sets of 15 reps
with
21's with dumbells 4 sets.

Superset of
tricep pressdowns with a light band 3 sets of 15 reps
with
hammer curls 3 sets of 10 reps

Wrist Curls Palm up- 3 sets of 15 reps

Done.

Diet for the past week has been hit or miss. Appetite has been through the roof so I have been eating a bit more than normal. Still working on the carb cycling thing. Trying to tighten that up this week. I will get back to posting my diet on here as it is somewhat different than it was previously.

Weight is up 6 pounds from 2 weeks ago but my waist is down 1/2 an inch. Lets me know the weight gain is quality muscle. Biceps measured 20 inches exactly last night, with a 56 inch chest, and 30 inch quads. Not real happy about the weight gain as it puts me further from the weight class I want to lift in but it happens. I'd rather lift in a higher class than sacrifice gains at this point and so long as the waist is shrinking things are good. Going to add in some more cardio sessions this week.

As far as supplements go, I take the same thing everyday twice a day. One multi-vitamin and multi-mineral, 3 fish oil pills, and glucosamine with MSM.
