Hi, I will be starting the journal up again as of tomorrow. I've completed a back workout tonight but haven't got the time to post it right now. I'm dissapointed with the loss of all the other data, and the lack of a server backup (I am studying for a degree in Computer Network Systems) but I realise that it was completely unexpected and accidental. So all we can do is get these forums full up again and keep this network going.
Currents stats:
Age: 21
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 174lbs
Status: Bulking
Condition: Better than I was New Years day!

Damn right! I'm back on the journal and here to stay. I can't think of anything more satisfying than looking back and seeing where I've made my progress...well actually I can think of something more satisfying but that is not for the ears on here!
I'd be extremely interested to see a journal of your own HARDCORE, would be more than excellent if you could rally the troops and get everyone to start a journal, I believe many people would enjoy reading through these and would be excellent to watch people progress and reach their potential. I realise this is a big ask, but it's just a thought I thought I would kick up in to the atmosphere!

I'm looking forward to seeing your journal Beef and watching you progress, but as far as writing a journal myself well.....I've just never done this for BBing. Back in my PLing days I would create a program with the lifts I was intending to achieve, but this was a percentage program and designed using my current max singles with the intent of attaining a new max for each lift over a 9 week period.

Generally not to bad for both workouts, but with the lat pulldowns I feel that you could drop a few of the lighter sets and really concentrate on the heavier sets. By dropping the lighter sets you may find that you have more energy/strength with the heavier weights.

Well you're education should be the top priority right now, so don't feel to bad. Try keeping a journal in the gym and then transfer it here once or twice a week. |

So did the twist result from trying to lift to much or did you have a momentary loss in concentration? Either way here's hoping it heals quickly, and that you learned from this experience. |

It was only the slighest twist motion, my brother who was spotting me didn't notice a thing it was just something I could feel I had done. I have my squat rack fixed in position and always stand in the same place when squatting so I have a perfect point of focus on the far wall to keep my back straight and neck up, but I moved the rack the other day to accomodate a vehicle in the garage for a day, and didn't put it back completely correctly and it was slightly off centre on an angle, and as I was still focusing completely on the same point I twisted slightly as I rose from the low position.
I never knew something as simple as this could put myself at risk, It's something I definately feel that i've learned from. Make sure the equipment is correct and positioned correctly before lifting is something I will do from now on.

Or find a new spot to look at/concentrate on when squatting. Remember I've competed as a PL and as such when at a contest you do not get to look at the same spot or use a squat rack you're accustomed to so one must learn to adapt, and this is something that you will also need to learn to do over time. |

This was a different workout. I tried getting form perfect on the bench as I've been finding I've been using my shoulders a little too much and seemed to crack it today which was good. Weights gone down a little from last week on the bench but today were much much better focused reps, right down to the chest, up slowly, and down slowly again. Felt very good today, chest felt stronger than normal to be honest, which I'm very pleased about. Oh and the reason there are no dumbell presses on the end of the routine, is that I had to shoot out quick and pick up some goods. :S

Well had a day off working out today, was supposed to be my back day as it's been a little hectic. I had to wire and re-wire the phone lines today until everything was just perfect as we've been getting problems over here with the phone and broadband line so that kinda took priority today. I'll get the back workout in tomorrow, I'm quite looking forward to it  |
