Cool cool =D

I dunno but it must have been the coffee extract flavour i put in the shake but todays workout was way way better?

It was like this:
Workout 1
Squats - 5x5 -57.5Kg (+)
Deadlift - 5x5 - 70kg (+)
Overhead Press - 5x5 - 24Kg (+ 2x12kg DBs)
Chin-Ups - 3xF - (5)(5)(4)
Plank - 3:00 - (=

Guys i havent got a spotter for the O/H Press so im using 2x DB's instead,
This would be alright wouldnt it? (I know how its all meant to be Barbell)

I have a squat rack but with the shape of it and the bench i cant get into the proper position without the barbell pulling my shoulders back to put it in the spotters, which aint so good,

Any tricks for doing barbell O/H Press without spotters? (=

Oh and todays food log, i found a pretty good selection of online bulking calculators and came up with a ballpark figure of around 2500/2600kCal for me (i have been forgetting to recalculate as my BW goes up )

But heres todays (Im rather proud thanks dogz and allan5790)

Well i do about 200 a day even if its non training and have been for nearly half a year so im well used to them
Finally got 52.5kg on my squat today! another 2.5kg and its BW

Oh yeah theres a big difference now ill take some pics tomorrow, my arms and chest have defo gotten bigger but one thing that still pisses me off is my mid section is still really "V" shaped, i think its my lats need work..? or is it obliques?

Im on a 1 min rest in betweeen sets i time it on a stopwatch to make sure, you on a 5x5 at the mo as well man?

Closing in on that BW squat and 1.5BW Dealift quite nicely!

Well as long as your seeing differences then thats all that matters!
It takes time to build muscle but little time to build fat, so keep your diet around what you have and if you are not gaining or feel undernourished then eat more.

Yeah i have started too but was a bank holiday this weekend so have not done anything and this week I have my final year project for uni in and i have just started so need to squeeze in 1 years work in 3 days!!

I have managed to try routine once and have to say looks good, although a few exercises it takes a while to do and those reverse crunches and killer. I only needed the weight at the last few reps of each set but still they can hrt, but i havent worked out properly for a good few months.

How would i add weight to a reverse crunch?
DB between legs type thing?

yeah basicly.

for barbell overhead press try doing the HCPP, the hang clean gets the bar up while giving your traps a good work, then the push press, or just press, replaces the militry press.

or failing that, db mil press's are more than good enough, if not better than BB mill press. As when using a BB your stronger side tends to overcompensate.

I saw that move in a book just today and i thought to myself "I have to try that" >.<
Its all gonna end in an ugly mess hahaha

Im doing the military press at the mo but ii find it hard cause i can only move up in 2.5kg DB's =/

HCPP it is then

Non workout today by the way,
Hows this look macro-wise?

I tried to reduce carbs as much as possible as there was no training and increase fats that are Monos and Polys good idea to go for a more ketogenic approach on non training days?

What the hell, if i'm reading this correctly it says 514 grams of carbs.... thats 2000kcals on its own, foodfocus must have screwed up in the calculations.
