Hello hello, I'm feeling pretty good today! I think it might just be me, but I think weetbix tastes heaps better when it's a new box? Any who, today I tried eating weetbix with honey. MMM It's pretty nice! But I wouldn't recommend it if you want to lose weight because of the extra calories!!
Today's workout was alright. I guess it wasn't that good because I ran out of jack3d and don't have any money to buy any atm :(
I lowered the weight I was using for bench press last week because I'm not really getting a pump in my chest after workouts when doing 5x5. I feel that 3-4x8 hits my chest harder.

My auntie and her husband came over to eat dinner. They brought oysters but I only ate one.. mmm the bitterness of the sauce was nice. My uncle-inlaw is such a talker LOL p.s his hungarian.

I'm trying to learn this song on guitar at the moment, it's quite a nice tune.


Thanks to tiffany for giving me some spotlight in her blog ^_^
Check her blog out Here and also my girlfriends infrequently updated blog LOL Here

I wasn't going to go gym today but I ended up going as I've been going 3x a week for the past 3 months so I didn't want to break my routine. I ended up going later than usual, 5pm. Halfway there and Melbourne's weather took a turn and started raining as per usual. I didn't get soaked that much. Did my core routine, deadlifts then rows but today I couldn't do curls! My forearms were so tight!! I couldn't even stretch them :( I think I might allocate a day just for my arms when exams are over.

Monday was a great day for my chest, the total weight lifted increased for my bench but my triceps were sluggish. Must be because of the awesome work out I did on the previous work out (see the previous blog)

I actually didn't want to go to the gym on Wednesday but ended up going anyway because my girlfriend encouraged me to. It was her birthday on the day as well! HBD baby :)
Performed front squats, leg presses, leg extensions. Overall great burn in the quads that day but my hamstrings didn't get much work. I couldn't get the laying down leg curls to work.

Woo! It feels great to be repping sets of 100kg deadlifts! I think I started on 50kg deadlifts the first time I did them.

Any who, I went to the gym later than I usually do today.

Deadlifts:
2x5 - 75kg
3x5 - 100kg

Tbar rows:
2x8 - 35kg
1x8 - 50kg, I didnt feel like I was getting enough ROM from this weight so I lowered it.
4x8 - 45kg

Iso-lateral pull downs:
1x8 - 25kg
1x8 - 20kg

BB curls:
4x8 - 17.5kg
3x8 - 10kg
My biceps are feeling so pumped up right now!! I couldn't wash my face properly before!

Tricep rope pulldowns:
3x8 - level 8. Not too sure what wright this corresponds to.
I observed a guy with massive arms do them, he performed them different to the usual way where you pull the rope outward. He twisted his arm into a flexed arm position. So I copied what he did and it felt amazing!

Today's session felt amazing. Arms are still feel pumped even though 20 minutes have passed!!

So this is my first official blog related blog (What?). Today was my first attempt at doing front squats (see below)

I tried doing it with just the bar(20kg) in a crossed arm position and found it relatively light so I added 5kg to each side and still found it relatively easy. But when I added 10kg to each side.. oh boy! I was sweating heaps! I went over to the 45 degree leg press after my front squats and did 1x8 100kg and then 3x8 120kg (legs are really weak!) After that I did leg extensions, hamstring curls and benched with Victor.

Overall today was a pretty good effort.

Sidenote: My quadriceps are smaller than my hamstrings at the moment so my legs are fairly weak compared to others.
Weight: 62.4

What do I need to work on more?

Hey guys (I'm probably going be talking to myself for the few days since I have no followers lol!), I'm starting this blog to keep track of my gains from weight lifting and maybe inspire a few people along the way. I'm about 12 weeks in of my training regime and feels great to be honest.
I'll be uploading progress pictures, lifting stats, my diet and pictures of things I eat!
I hope you'll enjoy my blog!
