Hi everyone
I decided to continue my training journal over here. Yes I a former Hitter but my gains truly sucked ass so I switched .
About me
Im from Australia
Im 27 years old been lifting for 6 years (about 5 years of that was HIT)
Height -Im about 5'10 or 11 (I Forget!)
I weigh 87.5kgs currently
Bodyfat is unknown but Im a little chubby (No visible abs)
Goals I would really just like to be as big as possible! (like most of you here) I want to increase my strength and size.I want to lean up too but will work on that seriously in a couple months as summer aproaches.
Here is my current Routine which at the moment is delivering great results.
Mon
Bench 3x3
Chin 1x5
Bi/Tri work for 3x6 (1 exercise each)
Tues
Squat 3x3
Press 3x3
Deadlift 2x3 (currently working on form for these so rep range may change)
Thurs
Bench 5x5 static weight
Chin 5x5
Bi/Tri 3-4 sets of 7 -12 reps
Fri
Squat 5x5 static weight
Press 4x5 static weight
Dumbell Row 3-4x5 static weight
Current Maxes
Squat- 102.5kg x3 reps (last rep was a bit of a stinker so Ill probably call this a 2RM!) I also managed 100kg x4 on Monday.
Bench-80kg x3 (HUGE PR for me!!)
Deadlift-137.5kg x1
Chin BW+12.5kg x5 reps
Press-45 x2 (man I suck at these I wanted 3)
Diet
This is the area that I have to think about the most.I have always gained a little fat while bulking but now Im trying to add a bit slower becuase Im already a tad chubby so I dont want to turn into a lardass.I'm following IAs timed carb diet ATM ,My main problems have been too many carbs I think.I am splitting my diet into 2 phases so to speak.During the first part of the week my cals are very close to maintenence or slightly under, due to the low volume of work but come thursday i tend to crank the calories up as thats when my training volume is higher.Doing it this way I have not registered a waist increase in a couple months.I eat about 1.5grams of protein per pound of bodyweight (I simply cant afford 2grams!) and as mentioned my carbs are higher around my higher volume days.
Ill get a vid up when I can for deadlifts so you guys and gals can tear my form to pieces if need be
Cheers HIThopper
