I just keep it updated every couple of weeks/months with pictures etc. Don't really post anymore.

Well done dude. Nice benching. Think you posted in my log a couple months back.

Finished my bulk around the end of the first week of January. Been cutting for 3 weeks as of tomorrow. Aim is to hit around 10% so I can continue bulking. For me I'm guessing that'll be when I lost...

Lulz have been had.

Time for a little update.

Still running 5/3/1. Making some gradual strength and weight gains. Managed to hit a 165kg x 8 deadlift and 130kg x 8 squat, although the squat wasn't to failure (the...

April 2011 I was around 175lbs, moderate bodyfat. Bulked to 206lbs by November 2011. Cut back down to 180lbs by April 2012, low bodyfat. Been clean bulking ever since.

50/50 to be honest. On one hand I like the physique aspect of training, but it's also nice to have a decent amount of strength. How long you been training for?

Thanks dude. Doubt I'll be aiming for shredded though till like summer. Just trying to slowly put on size atm.

Roughly 192lbs at the moment (5'10). Planning to bulk for about 6-7 more weeks at a small surplus before a 4 week mini-cut, after which I'll probably continue bulking with a similar surplus. Overall...

You're probably aware you bulked too fast. It's an easy enough mistake to make when you first start lifting. I made a similar mistake last year and whilst it is frustrating, you simply learn from...

I trust there's a progression scheme?

Frequency is too low. You're most likely going to see better results hitting every muscle group 2-3x a week instead of 1x a week. With an increase in frequency should come a reduction in volume as...

Going to be updating this log less reguarly than I am now. I'm still recording my workouts and so forth but it just won't be done here for the timebeing.

Getting back into a normal routine now as my first week of university is over. Hopefully my performance in the gym will be back to normal within 1-2 weeks. Did 6 nights in a row with barely any sleep...

Main Lift - Squat

Squat:
105kg x 5
112.5kg x 5
120kg x 5

I'm going to be chopping 10% off of my ORMs and recalculating my maxes as suggested by Wendler. Luckily I'm at the beginning of the routine so this shouldn't be an issue.

Squat - 155kg = 140kg....

Finally uploaded the video. Got to uni yesterday as well. Going to check out a gym today, but went out last night so don't hold out for too much.

Anyway, back to the deadlift problem. My hips...

Some pretty basic but effective supplements are:

Whey Protein. Fairly self-explanatory why it's useful.
Creatine Monohydrate. Proven to slightly improve performance.
Fish Oil. Helps with joint...

Firstly, soreness is not an indicator of growth, like everyone has practically said. It's essentially a red herring.

You also talk about switching around exercises and ways to 'shock' the muscle...
