I think its about time I started another journal. Ive had a few weeks off over xmas to give my body and mind a break, but now its back into it full throttle. Il take it easy this week to get back into routine and let the doms sort itself out then next week its on. The goal this time round will be different, instead of adding mass at all costs, Im going to focus on body recomp. I want to get fat levels way down, and get my calisthenic abilities way up. I want to be sharp and precise like Bruce Lee No powerlifting going on here, just pure bodybuilding around how my body reacted best in the past. These are some pics from my last journal, the biggest Ive ever been according to measurements. Gonna trim that fat down a fair bit so should be fun and Im looking forward to feeling better for it :d_sunny:
Routine for the first few months will be: Monday: Legs Tuesday: Push Wednsday: Rest Thursday: Legs Friday: Pull Weekend: Arms if I feel like it. I havent finalised what Im doing, will be using this week as a test run to see if its good to go
Awesome man, will be following along. Are you going to be hitting certain macros once you're fully back into it? Or just going by feel?
Diet: The missus and I are saving for a house, and have had to scale back on EVERYTHING according to our new budget for 2014. Shes doing a massive cut as well and has been a huge support with our lifestyle change (plus shes a gym junkie too, what a babe). Unfortunately though it means a huge cut on our food expenditure (less meat ). This is my diet for however long until I have to start dropping cals again, which will essentially just be less oats lol. Breakfast (Post workout) 250ml Milk 1x egg 1 scoop BN WPI 200g oats 50g blueberries Smoko break 95g Tuna (coles flavours) 4 leaf salad 1 x tomato 1 tblspn balsamic vinegar 1 tblspn olive oil Lunch break 100g Kangaroo mince Green beans After Work 250ml Milk 1x egg 1 scoop BN WPI 200g oats 50g blueberries Dinner 100g Kangaroo mince Green beans or salad Cals: 2500 P: 190g C: 260g F: 70g Im a big advocate of eating the same thing day in day out. Have done ever since started training and its the way Il always do it lol. I change the diet once every couple months for a change, otherwise I get everything sorted and packed in bulk and Im g2g. Ive found that I maintain on 2400cals, but Il stick to the above for a few weeks as my body gets used to training again (I ate so poorly over xmas I started to feel sick from lack of nutrition ), and then Il start to drop cals by lowering the oats in the shakes. Easy peasy, lets get to it! Oh heres my awesome purple shakes And what I take to work, Il make usually 4+ days worth at a time

9/1/13 Legs 2 Leg Curl Warmup x 12 67kg 3 x 10 Squat Bar x somthin 60kg x somthin 110kg 3 x 5 Leg Extension 60kg 6 x 10 Hack Calf Raise 110kg 3 x 10 Seated Calf Raise 82kg 3 x 10 Lateral Calf Band Pulls 3 x 20 Bleh when did squats get so heavy lol. Im usually pumpin heavier than this but thought hey better work back into it. Felt like a half tonne ah well a leg session is still a leg session. I still had doms from Mondays leg session but after warmup is was fine. Work has been awful though, trying to get low to put the hoist arms under cars is a mental challenge in itself, and then spending the start of the week doing a cylinder head recall job I was leaning into an engine bay for hours on end. Hamstrings so tight I can play tunes on them :firefirefire: Ok time for my breaky shake and jump back in bed to give the missus some cuddles
