Member 4197, 4 posts SQ 187.5, BP 115, DL 205507.5 kgs @ 87kgs UnEq | So I'm sitting on my sofa, up to my eyes in co-codamol. Two days ago, a surgeon was rummaging around in my nose lopping bits off and I don't exactly feel great for having the experience. To pass the time between my pill-popping, I'm going to copy up my log on here for whoever wants to have a look at it and tell me how much strength I'm gonna lose over the next 3-6 weeks not lifting. I started training in September 2011. Age 20, weighing in at 75kg, 5 feet 11 inches tall, I was already a monster, the expert noob that I was decided a rough plan of a 3 day split with Bench, Squats, Deadlift was the right way to go, and would aim to run this twice a week while trying to put some weight on the bar and some weight on me. | ||

Would be good to see how you're progressing, we're roughly at the same level at the moment. | ||

Member 4197, 4 posts SQ 187.5, BP 115, DL 205507.5 kgs @ 87kgs UnEq | September to December I trained in my university gym 4 days a week, usually in the mornings before my lectures which took up 9am-5pm most days. I spent too much time going in clubs and other late night activities, but I didn't take any days off training that weren't completely necessary. I didn't keep a log but I just ran the same program trying to make new rep PRs and going for a max every so often. I wasted loads of time not eating enough/the right food; doing abs, flyes and calf raises; and pretty much every noob mistake possible but by the end of the christmas term I weighed 79kg- a 5kg mostly lean weight gain. All of my information came from the internet- sites like Tnation, Elitefts, and lots of powerlifters on Youtube. | ||

Ill have my progress so far summarised by then, and ill be able to work straight on here, hopefully with some videos too. I appreciate the interest, thanks! By the way, the co-codamol was strong enough! the first few days after the operation I had the 30/500 tablets and I was just sitting in a daze all day, hence the lack of progress on the log | ||

Member 4197, 4 posts SQ 187.5, BP 115, DL 205507.5 kgs @ 87kgs UnEq | I tested my 1RMs when I was at home (Northern Ireland) over Christmas because I was training with my cousin who trains powerlifting and he was there to spot me. My results from the Christmas 'meet'- 135kg squat, 95kg bench and 170kg deadlift. I got a powerlifting belt for christmas, before this i had been using the old, thin, worn out leather lifting belts at the gym. With my new maxes I decided I needed to try and tighten up my programming, so it was a toss up between Skeiko and 5/3/1. The volume of Sheiko appealed to me so the next week I began Sheiko number 29. 1 week in, I thought it was too easy and I didn't like training only 3 days per week, so I decided to run Sheiko 'CMS prep' (I hadn't realised at the time what this meant, and I know this will look stupid to anyone who knows anything about Sheiko. However, I have absolutely no regrets.) | ||
