Well due to my irreparable shin splints (and therefore a very unfortunate career shift), I can now at least concentrate on lifting (which is a HELL of a lot more fun than speedwork). Tomorrow (Monday 4/2) begins the fourth week of Rippetoes, I stupidly haven't kept a journal yet but am starting tomorrow. So far, this is me:
20 years old
Male
5'10
162lbs
est. 15% BF, will get an accurate reading this week
Cutting for summer.

That's it till tomorrow, here are a few pics. The first one for some reason won't acknowledge that it's resized, but you get the idea...






Yeah, I know I have a huge nose...I'm Polish

Man, do not cut! You can bulk up and that will mask any little bit of fat you have. (Standing up straight with your chest out also help get rid of the stomach flab ) You don't have much muscle, so cutting will make you look super skinny. I don't think you'd be happy with the look you'd get from a cut. Just my $0.02, its your choice.

The journal's a good choice too. It will definitely help you keep on track...especially with all of us constantly looking at it to make sure

ps. I'm polish too, I know the curse of the big nose first hand

Wanna know the fun part? That's my natural back curvature...I'm all sorts of jacked up I'm kind of going back and forth between cutting or not. My main concern is that I have free access to a gym while at college, but can't afford a gym membership yet for the summer. Probably won't be able to save up enough for a year membership until summer is over (darn college is ridiculously expensive ) I don't know what I'm going to do about summer, I'd really prefer not to take the entire summer off of lifting, but we'll see what has to happen.

I just realized how frequently I said summer in that post...Can't wait till I can edit posts lol

Here's how today's workout went. This week is BAB. 3x5's, unless otherwise noted. (in lbs, for you crazy Canadians )
Squats: 155
Mil. press: 90
Rows: 115
Pulls (locked elbows to chin above bar, 2x8): 25lb
Leg raises (3x12): no weight

Hamstrings are hurting again (discussed in training forum), hopefully they'll stop and I can figure out what's going wrong by Wednesday.

A workout, BAB week

Squat: 155
Bench: 150
Deads: 195
Dips (2x8): 60
Ab work...done

looking great brother!

I was starting to lose form on the squats, but I'll try 5lbs up next week. I think I can fix it just paying a bit more attention, but we'll see. And I have no idea what was going on with my dips today, couldn't do nearly the weight I usually do. Oh well, improvement elsewhere

Squat: 175
Bench: 155
Deads: 225
Dips: 2x8 at 50
Abs: done

Tried a 5lb increase on the overheads today since last time felt fine, but only got one set through before I had to drop it. Will try again on Friday.

Squat: 180
Overhead: 95
Rows: 130
Abs and pullups done

As long as you keep trying everything will get there. Just keep plugging away man you're doing good.
