EDIT: Things have changed since I last posted. New stuff is on page 2, may update this front page when I have some time
So I’ve tried to keep a log here a couple times, but haven’t been able to stick with it (hence the title) This time I’m gonna keep at it as I really want to write my stuff down and track it as well as having other people take a look at it. Here’s some basic info and also how I train.
Height: 6’3"
Weight: Bout 220 right now
BF%: Somewhere around 10%
Best lifts:
Squat (Oly style): 200kg- 440
Deadlift: 260kg- 575
Front Squat: 160kg- 350
I don’t bench as I don’t need it for my sport. Haven’t maxed on anything else noteworthy lately.
Goals:
Squat: 500lbs
Deadlift: 600lbs
Weight: 210
Vertical jump: 40" regularly (at about 38" right now, was at 40" at my best)
BF%: Would say 6-8%, but I don’t really measure anyways. So we’ll go with looking awesome haha
Nutrition: I’ve done all sorts of different diets over the past couple year, including V-Diet multiple times. It worked for what I wanted, but I don’t plan on using it ever again. I’m also not in a rush to lose weight this time around too. I used to also have a bit of carb-phobia, but am starting to get over that. Right now I do kind of a bastardized John Meadows/carb cycle type of diet. I just started it a couple weeks ago, but feel it has made a difference (love eating carbs!) It looks something like this:
Monday: Higher carb/higher protein/lower fat
Tuesday: Slightly lower carbs then monday, slightly more fat
Weds: High Protein/ High fat/ low carb
Thursday: Same as Monday
Friday: Same as Tuesday
Saturday: Same as Wednesday.
Sunday: Refeed/junk day (not whole day, usually just a meal)
I’m still playing around with how I want to set up Sundays, but I like eating some junk as Monday is my heavy leg day and it helps me be stricter the other 6 days.
Here’s what my lifting tends to look like right now:
Monday: Hard leg day
Tuesday: Upper
Weds: Mobility/ recovery work
Thurs: DE lower
Friday: Upper
Saturday: play sports/ runs or jumps/ off (Varies)
Sunday: Off/Prowler and recovery
Normally I play a fair amount of sports, but right now I have a bum wheel. Once I’m recovered I will be playing a fair amount of basketball/beach volleyball. These usually take place on the weekend and don’t affect my workouts too much. You’ll notice my upper body training is a little different as I do not have the goal to get bigger in the upper body (except maybe my back) so I do not do a ton of heavy pressing (no horizontal pressing right now at all) I’ll post my workouts from the last couple weeks as that is when I changed my workout template a little bit
I did Dan John’s 10,000 swings in December only completely changed it and ended up doing 500 swings 6 days a week for a total of 12,000 swings in the month on top of my normal workouts. It was fun to do but I definitely hated KB’s by the end ha. I am probably going to add back in a volume day as well as a speed day (with bands) of swings. This week I just finished up the 3 weeks to a wimpy back, so was doing 4 days a week of back. I normally always do some type of chin/pull up 4+ days a week, with non-upper body days simply being bodyweight and not to failure. What I’m planning on doing for upper body is 3 weeks of high frequency for a certain body part (just did back, shoulders are next) then taking a week off before going to the next bodypart. We’ll see how that goes. I will try to add in more things as I remember.
