Weighed in at 183lbs again this week. Ugh, I think I would have gained weight but I ran out of gainer about half way through last week and made the mistake of just buying protein since I'll be cutting soon. Well I traded some protein for some gainer with my buddy so I hope to still gain for the next couple weeks or so.

Squats
bar x 5 (warmup)
135lbs x5 (warmup)
175lbs x3 (weight acclimation)
205lbs x1 (weight acclimation)
220lbs 3x5 (work sets)

Pretty damn happy about completing this. 225lbs coming up this friday!!! This is a new PR as well.

Standing Military Press
45lbs x 5 (stretch)
75lbs x 3 (warmup)
95lbs x 2 (weight acclimation)
120lbs 3x5 (work sets)

Finished this too. It was a struggle but its my new PR.

Deads
60kg x 4 (stretch)
90kg x 2 (warmup)
110kg x 1 (weight acclimation)
125kg x 5 (work set)

Deads were not so good today... I think doing heavy squats and deads on the same day is out of the question for me from now on... The last rep I got so out of form. My back was just too tired from squats. I dont' know how my buddy held it together. I'm really hurtin now. I really hope it heals up by friday so I can squat again. Ugh, stupid me, shoulda just put it down after rep 4. I really gotta start the one week schedule instead of this ABA style. Every other week is just hell on my back.

Pull ups

BW+ 17.5lbs - 3x5

Finished these this time. It was heavy but at least its done.

Standing Calf Raises
90lbs x 8 (warmup)
180lbs x 8 (warmup)

Diet

2:45 - workout

PWO - protein shake (out of gainer...)

PPWO - chicken breast + noodles/tomato sauce + veggies

10:00 - gainer ( I need to get groceries bad but I'm *SO* busy at school lately its insane)


Thoughts

Well I'm pretty pissed about hurting my back. That was just dumb... I really hope it heals up quick. I'm gonna go super light on squats on wednesday (if at all) and I'll just gauge how it feels.

Hoping to pick up my weight gain again and hit 185lbs before the end of my bulk session. That would mean I've gained 15lbs since sept...not too bad. I'll be cutting from about the 2nd week in Dec till middle of February when I fly to Cancun for a week. Yes! Thats good motivation. My food scale came today so I'm ready to start counting my cals etc. Bring it on cutting!
