shibs' training journal

how has the training been coming along man?

Sorry just got that message. It's going good i just finished the 15 rep mesocycle and made new PR's in all my lifts :)

Feeling pretty good now and super excited to go to the 10 rep mesocycle. I'll include the program for my 10 rep cycle on this post for you guys to view. Please note that the calf workout i'm doing is Nelson Montana's.

+ Doing weighted decline crunches for abs.

Also, idk if its from the workout or not, but i suddenly shot up from 170 to 180 in the last week and a half or so. I'm not a newb in weight training, so i know its not just the newb gains so idk. i'm not complaining though haha
 
Sooo... some bad things happening now damn it....

1. For some reason, i hit my bench good on the first day of my 10 rep mesocycle, and i haven't hit it since then. i'm confused. I've been eating good, and even got a ton of sleep this weekend to try to hit it today but i had to get help on my 9th rep. Slightly disappointing... All my other lifts are going good.

2. Started boxing training for fight in mid-April. Today was fucking brutal and it completely exhausted me. Boxing is mostly cardio so i don't think its impacting my results, i've just gotta make sure i keep putting down the food. I did the training after my workout, but i think next i'll do my workout after training.

All the lifts are going good and i'm still keeping up with everything else. I am however still concerned with the lack of volume... one set really doesn't feel like alot and its getting hard to tell if this is working well or not. Anyone have anything to say about this? i could use some reassurance lol.

And if anyone could help me out with my diet... i usually eat as much cottage cheese as i can, along with tuna sandwiches everyother day with whole wheat bread.. just bought some liquid egg whites for breakfast :) and being a highschool kid, my lunch is limited to cheap fast food choices so i try to keep it just to subway. chicken bacon ranch on whole wheat is the best haha. basically i just try to eat alot of protein and whole wheat healthy foods, and cut out as much junk as possible.

Thanks for any input fellas
 
Finally the 5 rep mesocycle... i loved todays workout.

Thanks to andalite, i have a good scheme going. A B & C workout, each once a week for two weeks.

Today was flat bench press 215 5X5. I hit every set except the last rep on the last set.

SLDL.... 225 3X5 Again hit every set, it was a bit easy. considering going up next time.

Wide grip pull ups... Just with body weight. All in all, pretty easy. the last couple sets were getting tough but i got them all with not much rest between sets.

Front squats... 225 3X5 Hit every set.. i wasn't used to doing front squats so these were a little hard. my wrists were killing me in the last couple reps, even though i swear i have good form. Elbows up, bar resting across my collar bone, but when i'm going down i wanna almost fall forward, and then i have to push more with my wrists to keep the bar balanced, and thats what was hurting them.

Pretty good workout tonight. came home, had a potato and a protein drink. been drinking a gatorade after working out so the sugar can help fight anabolic effects on my body.

I noticed after working out that my backs really finally starting to develop :) this made me pretty excited. The rest of my body hasn't been developing as well, and i'm kinda disappointed about that, but still hoping it'll pick up.

La da la da da da...

Dude you don't want to fight anabolic effects, that is building muscle. You want to fight catabolic effects. Great workout though:)
