Fark.. even though you have 20lbs on him, Martin uploaded a recent vid of 4x81kg military press and you're hitting 2x80kg OHP @ 15. You're cheating the world if you don't become a powerlifter, haha.

[AdamNW]

thanks brad haha, martin is definitely someone i look up to anyway, especially his lower body movements.
ill most likely compete in powerlifting one day.
oh, and i hope your backs feeling better

Scary to imagine where youll be at my age lol

[AdamNW]

Bench Day
Bench 87.5kg x 5, 97.5kg x 3, 107.5kg x 1+(4)
DB Seated OHP 2 x 10, 1 x 7
Bench Rows 3 x 8
DB Shrugs 2 x 12 BB Shrugs 1 x 12
Tricep Extension 3 x 10
DB Curls 3 x 10

was REALLY tired all today since sleeps been a bit of an issue - but i just got so full of energy before this! was quite happy with 4, was actually expecting 5 but i just couldnt quite lock out on that last rep (its the closest ive ever been to locking out without being successful) which was irritating. hoping i get 5 next 1+ week with 110kg, then ill bump it up 5kg for the next cycle. really appreciating all the support im getting from you brahs - its an awesome feeling.

oh and if youre wondering about the shrugs, i have a weak wrist which im sure i mentioned earlier in this log. whenever i do DB Shrugs, the dumbbell seems to like slip in my hand (because of my wrist im fairly certain) and like dig into my wrist which makes me have to let go and causes alot of pain, so i just swapped over to BB for the last set

Scary to imagine where youll be at my age lol

haha we'll just have to wait and see what happens brother

[PumpingFreak]

Have you been eating the same amount of calories from the start of your bulk till now? And how much weight are you aiming to gain a week and a month? I've started my 5/3/1 bulk this monday eating around 2800 cals and my weight has been swinging from 76,9 to 76,7 kg. I think i should bump cals to 3000 ?

[muscletraps]

Great benching man, what routine are you doing?

[AlphaSaiyan]

That's some respectable benching Adam.

[AdamNW]

@pumpingfreak - no ive increased cals since i started. and yeah go up to 3000cals if thats the case

@muscletraps - thanks man im using a modified 5/3/1

@alpha - thanks brah, always good to hear from ya

[beardymcbeard]

Sheeeiitt strong benching man!

[AdamNW]

107.5kgx4

Sheeeiitt strong benching man!

thanks

yeah, both have exploded in recent weeks since i injured the damn hamstring. thanks alot though! ill be quite pleased with myself the day i catch up to you, thatll be a hell of an achievement. what will take longer, and ill be happier with, is when i catch up to your damn (box) squat!

[Chris806]

I'm onto you Adam!

I can probably throw up 100kg or so for a rep or two, we'll find out monday

[AdamNW]

Squat Day
Squat 90kg x 5, 100kg x 5, 110kg x 3
Standing Leg Curl 3 x 8
Leg Extension 3 x 10
Calf Raise 3 x 12
Ab Work

well i worked all the way up to 80-85% of my 5rm and to be honest it wasnt too painful at all. the last 2 reps of 110kg were a struggle to be honest, and i dont know if thats because im not used to squatting or the injury restricting me. regardless, pain wasnt bad at all everything else went well too - but i cant wait to give 100% with concerning myself with moving the weight rather than the injury. looking forward to seeing how deads go on wednesday too. was happy with the session today, was worried i wouldnt be able to get 100kg haha.

I'm onto you Adam!

youre onto me ? haha
and i look forward to seeing how that goes! ill be watching your log.

[Chris806]

Leg Press 3 x 240kg x 9
Leg Extension 2 x 12
Hamstring Curls 2 x10

well thats up another 40kg! it was only by 1 rep because i couldnt do the next one, it wasnt painful just my hamstring wouldnt allow it like other times. was happy with this - even leg press was decent everything else went well too. hamstring is feeling better and better each day, can free squat without any pain.

[Teenwolf2]

Pressing skill is chronic bro, I'm crazy envious. Let us all know how the physio goes. I'll be going for 140kgx5 on deads on Saturday, trying to catch up haha

How's school going?

thanks bro - your deadlift will be ahead of mine by the time im back into it. good luck with 140kg ! doubt youll need it though - we know youve got it in you.
schools not bad, exams in week 2 of next term which is ridiculously early so study has to start early
i read your article by the way bro in mens fitness - good to see theres stuff in those things that arent written by fitness gurus who can tell me how to get ripped abs in 12 days. great read bro. hows life with your family ? heidi going well i hope?
