Well a friend suggested i start a training log here, so here it is and ill try not to forget to update it.

Currently i'm following the 5 3 1 program and have been for the past couple of months, though i usually do 2 heavy sets instead of 1 for each lift and skip the deload each cycle until i feel i actually need it.

At the moment im about 80kg and my best lifts so far are:
squat 205 x2
bench 140 x1
Deadlift 215 x2

In terms of goals, i want to get my squat to 220 for a single or double, bench i have no idea as i just hit my long term goal of 3 plates each side last session, and a deadlift of 240 would be pretty good.

05/12

Squats

160 x3
180 x2
200 1x3,4

First set on 200 felt really shaky and nearly failed the 3rd rep. Form on 2nd set was much better so pretty happy with 4 which is a pr.

Went and had a 10 minute lie down in the stretching area as i felt completely dead.

Leg press

410kg x10
450kg x7

Normally do leg extensions for the hell of it but not today as i wanted to make it home.

You are strong. Impressed with lifts. How tall are you? And do you compete?

Missed my squat session on monday as ive been working non stop for the past few days to try and get my essays finished before the deadline, and so have barely been eating or sleeping either.

14/12

112.5kg x3
127.5kg 4x4

Felt pretty awful really and i should have got 5.

Been a while since ive been so was expecting to be be fairly weak, made worse by the fact i am really ill at the moment...

06/01

Deadlift

180kg x5
190kg x4

Both sets the weight felt reasonably light, just i had very little energy.
Really wanted to get out of the gym at this point as i just felt horrible, so just rushed the rest of my workout.

Good mornings

100kg 2x8

Lat pull downs

70kg 3x10

I think i'm probably 5-10kgs down on all 3 lifts so will take a couple weeks to get my strength back up.

Nice. Shouldn't be long until you have fully recovered. Just curious how long have you been lifting for ?

You have impressive squat and bp for your height/ weight :P

[Andrei]

Hmm not sure exactly, a few years or so with a couple of 6 month breaks in there somewhere. I started squatting about a year and a half ago though.

I see. Nonetheless strong stuff!

11/01

Bench press

100kg 1x5
115kg 2x5

Tricep pushdown

40kg x12
50kg 2x10

Lat raises

10kg 3x12

Went fairly light as its been close to a month since i last benched. Form was a little off and i felt much weaker. Probably going to take a few more bench sessions to get back into it.

[Andrei]

Okay so its been ages since i last trained properly and my body weight has gone down to about 73kg from not eating much over the last couple months.

Either way i'm completely focused on getting my strength back to where it was and then getting even stronger, so going to be returning to 3 sessions a week (squat, bench deadlift).

22/02

Bench press

100kg 5x5x4

Squat

140kg 2x5

Felt weak all round, but was to be expected
1-2 months of serious training and all will be well again.
