Been deliberating this for a bit, and a workout log would be helpful to kick my butt into progressing rather than stagnating.

Height : 178 cm
Weight : 185 lbs
Age : Thirties

Current body status :
** Recovering from lower back injury. Almost recovered, able to do bent over rows. Deadlifts due in one month.
** Fractured ankle, recovering. Estimated recovery another 1-2 months off. No leg work sucks.


Goal : What's in the mirror and remaining athletic.

Current supps :
- Fish oil + multivits
- Protein blend (Myo/Syntha)
- Creatine mono
- BCAAs (Xtend)
- Pre-WO, White Flood (Rarely used, only when feeling sh*tty before workouts)

Lower back was from the deadlift a couple of months back. It's just one of those things that happen, but luckily for me it was muscular in nature and not spinal. Ankle from footie.

It's recovery season for me.

Thanks guys.
As far as poundages are concerned, I'm only trying to keep up with you strong mofos!!

Achieved a long time goal I had as a scrawny ecto to achieve BW Bench press, 1.5 BW squat and 2 BW deadlifts.
My upper body was always the weaker half as compared to my lower body, and the BW bench press seemed the furthest away. But since injuring my ankle and lower back and forced to focus on the upper body lifts, it's quite a surprise I hit the BW Bench Press first. Yes! Did the 4 on 175 lbs and felt good enough to try to hit the 185 lbs.

Hello BW bench press club! Feels good mang.

9 Nov - Back and Shoulders

Back from vacation today. Was a good vacation, the 'gained 3 kgs in a week' kinda good vacation.
Totally wasted when I got home, still made time for a quick trip to the gym.

T-Bar row

100 lbs x 10
150 lbs x 10
170 lbs x 10
180 lbs x 8 x 2

30 kgs x 10

Slight headache came on near the end. Called it a day.
It's amazing how much difference not working out for a week and pigging out throughout feels in the gym. Just shows you stay strong if you keep training. In the end, you can't cheat your body.

Forgot to up the previous session.

Retracking on Monday.

14 Nov - Chest


Smith Bench Press
(Weights only)
90 lbs x 10
140 lbs x 10 x 2
160 lbs x 8
170 lbs x 6
180 lbs x 3

25 kgs x 12 x 3


Skullcrushers

It's the Smith, waiting for the day I can do it on the flat bench.
It's only impressive until I put it against your HS poundage. You don't seem to ever stagnate.

I go by 'feel' when trying PRs. Certain days my body just doesn't seem to be up for it and I adjust it lower. Usually train alone without a spotter (Though sometimes I can get one of the bros to spot a set) so I'm usually more careful, especially in situations where I can get pinned.

Today is....motivation day! Watched the Rock on Raw.

Impromptu switch as my meeting lasted till almost 10 pm. Life's like that sometimes.

Eh, the later segment of the Rock was probably the most entertaining. He's looking good, in great shape and he's captivating on the mike.

Back to the routine tomorrow. Finger's crossed I don't get into another draggy meeting. Yesterday's workout was great, really feeling it today.
