My Training Journal

[Tblock1]

hey bro, I have always gone heavy on deadlifts, 1-6 rep range and my back is probably my best muscle group, heavy deadlifts are the only back exercise that I have done since day 1. The reason I was doing 6x3 for deads today was for active recovery. My best deadlift is 319 and I got 325 to the knees but couldnt lock it out, this was at a bodyweight of 175. I love deadlifting heavy though and I dont think I would ever go above 8 reps unless I was doing some sort of crazy 20 rep deadlift challenge or somethign like that lol.

Lol it does feel good to know Im stronger than alot of people, and I would go as far to say Im the strongest kid in my school. Weightlifting is no were near as big over here amoungst school kids as it is over in the USA, to give you an idea Iv never heard of a high school ages sports team that include any sort of weight bearing exercises in the training, its unheard of over here.

Im thinking of posting pics just before I start a cutting diet before the summer, Im bulking right now as you might have guessed from the meal I posted above. Although this year I havnt made much progress in size gains, the first 4 months or so were great, I had a big growth spurt, but after that I was fucking around trying to loose bf and ended up not gained much mass at all. That has changed now. I've only got two pics of posing before I started lifting, but Ill try and find some of my on the beach or that sort of thing from before I was lifting.

"Everyone on here is proud of your training and the gains you've made so far" wow thanks bro, feels good to hear that lol

Dude do they really not lift for sports over in England? I would think that they would for sure lift for football or wrestling?

football over there = soccer

soccer teams don't normally lift. They do more conditioning and bodyweight work. My team did jack shit as far as lifting goes which is sad because our teams Achilles heel was our strength- pushing people off the ball and winning 50/50s

That's a shame your schools aren't into lifting as much over there. Weightlifting is a good hobby that builds mental and physical strength, but also keeps you out of trouble (sorta). I'll just say worse trouble! It's pretty popular in America, but it's still an underground sport for the most part. People look at me funny and ask me questions at school for drinking protein shakes, ect. but they wouldn't say shit if I was smoking!
I remembered reading your stuff before, and saw it again today. It made me proud to know there are still younger people out there that give a shit and kick ass at lifting.

besides football (i live in the US) there aren't many sports that do really intense lifting. Lacrosse does some as does basketball, but not required to do deads and squats. I get where you're coming from with this post

Lol wow I wasn't even thinking about the whole football=soccer over there! Actually our soccer team at my school does do some leg work such as squats and leg press, and every one of our sports teams does some lifting.

there are probably 10 kids in the whole year group of 350 or so that use the school gym at school, and the school gym is just cardio and a few machines and cables, doesnt even have a benchpress lol

wrestling isnt big over here either i had never really heard of high school wrestling until i came onto EF

Nice workout lil bro

thanks, yeah it wasnt a big cheat at all, just sort of a bounce off my legs to get it started. And the fats pwo, i dont normally eat that much it was because i added the cheese and milk though that the fat went up.

do you think the anabolic window is very important?

@ 15 yo it's not a big deal, but later on you might wanna take it in consideration...
