If you overdo it on the protein, the main side-effect is diarrhea.

oh... thanks for the advice though.... but, i haven't experienced that as yet ...

but, as i mentioned below, i have reduced whey intake by 1 scoop...

Day 13
Workout #3

Hello people...

today was GREAT !

let me tell you why:

Barbell Deadlifts
Set Number.) Weight in kgs x Reps
1.) 40x2
2.) 50x2
3.) 60x3
4.) 70x3
5.) 80x1
6.) 90x1
7.) 100x1
8.) 105x1
9.) 110x1
10.) 115x2
Ok, so my record is the same. but the surprise is yet to come !

Barbell Flat Bench Press
Set Number.) Weight in kgs x Reps
1.) 40x5
2.) 45x5
3.) 50x3
4.) 55x2
5.) 60x2
6.) 65x3
7.) 70x3
8.) 80x2
whoo hoo! i benched 80 kgs ! weighing 78 kgs myself, i managed to bench 80 kgs today. and if you include the weight of the rod (10kgs), it means i actually bench presses 90 kgs = 198 lbs !!! guess i'll have to change my signature now, huh ?

well, after these two lifts i was feeling too good and from past experience i kinda guessed that if i did anything more, forget overtraining: i would ruine my happiness. so i didn't.

i think that perhaps because i took yesterday off, i was able to benchpress so heavy today..!

i was chatting with Kane today, and we started talking about OVT...

not knowing much, i read up on christian thibaudeau's article on the subject (attached below) and i was fascinated...

you know how charles poliquin once said "the best routine is always the one your not on"...? well, i am kinda in that position right now...

but, like i mentioned to 0311, i am gonna continue with this current Total Body Training Routine till the end of February after which i will change hopefully to OVT.... :gulp: kets hope i don't get adventurous about this routine too soon..

Day 15
Workout #4

i slep last night at 12:30 am and woke up at 4:30 am to study for a test today...

so you can imagine what kind of a wreck i was today :(

fortunately my test went off well..

unfortunately, my workout morale was very low...

i worked out for just 30 minutes and flirted with this chick for 45 minutes

this is what i did sincerely.. before we proceed though, please understand that i did 4 sets of 10 reps (i.e. 4x10) with the weight being the same for all sets... so the numbers i have listed below are merely the weight i lifted for 4 sets of 10 reps each... i have omitted listing the set/rep numbers, but if you have any problem please feel free to contact me so i can explain..

Barbell Back Squat
70 kgs
wow.. this was a great lift ppl... i know i last time i had taken 60 kgs, but i realized that the last time i did squats (note: not the workout here, but the exercise), i had done reached 75 kgs for 10 reps on my workout #3 (http://www.bodybuilding.net/personal...ng-1310-3.html) so this time i increased the weight from 60 to 70 and did all 10 reps for each of the 4 sets

Dumbbell Decline Bench Press
56
yes, last time i had taken 52, but i took 56 this time and did it with some degree of difficulty, but great form..

Lat Pull Downs
60
... yes, in case you haven't noticed, my strength has suddenly gone up... thankfully, this exercise was great and i think my lats were screaming in pain

Parallel Bar Dips
Bodyweight
unlike last time when i did only 8 reps, this time i went to 10 on all sets.. but to be 100% hinest with you guys: my form was 100% perfect on only 8 reps, the last two on all sets were worth only 75-80%.. hopefully, i will become better at this exercise....

rememebr how littlt, i slept last night ? - well that fatigue began to take its toll on me... this is the part at which i gave up on my workout, went and had my whey, chilled for a few minutes, met this nice chick and flirted for like 45 minutes... btw, i normally do this only after a satisfactory workout.. today was an exception..

anyways ppl... i should be better on saturday... and yes, i haven't forgotten about OVT...!

well, incase you don't know, i love doing back workouts, but today this lift was fucked... my legs were hurting so royally after doing 85 kgs squats on a 11 kg barbell (whose weight i have not included in the figures) that my legs were groaning in pain when i performed this lift..

Parallel Bar Dips 4x6
1.) 4x6
2.) 4x6
3.) 10x3 + only body weight x 3
4.) 10x5 + 4x3
both these last two sets were drop set. i had a spotter who helped me remove / add these weights onto me

2.) 16x6
3.) 18x6
