Starting training log so I can watch progress - never really done this before so will see how it goes…
FYI all units are in metric… also when i am using a machine, ‘plates’ weigh about 5kg on that thing.
About me:
I’m 16 y/o male, currently weighing 81kg at a height of 189cm (6"3 i think) i.e. quite skinny not much muscle). Trained reasonably seriously for about 6 months but haven’t trained for the last 3 or 4.
My goals are basically that I want to be bigger leaner stronger and faster would be nice too. I will be working out Monday, Wednesday and Friday in my home gym (adjustable bench, squat rack, multipurpose machine thing, chin bar), and the plan is to do (i think its called block periodization?) for example 2 months bodybuilding 1 month strength/power, but i’m not stressing too much about that atm - will cross that bridge when i come to it down the track.
Gainz time!
ps feedback appreciated on workout structure and suchlike.
1st Workout log - also worked out on friday but didn’t take note of stats.
Overall workout time 1.5 hrs. moderate rest periods whole way through, imo this workout had too many exercises.
Was having issues finding the right weights because i haven’t done it for so long.
