Update: 1st December 2012

TRAINING
Training has been going great. PRs on all lifts last week I am amazed at how as i manage to get lighter i have been getting stronger.
Dead lifts up for 440lbs x 1
DB bench 42 kg x 7 ( first time since pec tear!)
Pendlay row 120kg x 4
Military press (slow and steady up to 60kg x 4)
Weighted chin ups 30kg attached x 8

Diet
Macros still at p210/c250/f50. This has been giving me great energy in the gym and good pumps. Weight has stabilized around 77kg, so i have added in 2 extra cardio sessions per week. 1 will be box jumps x 10 rounds and the other will be a 40 minute LISS session AM.

Sleep
6-8 hours per night. This has been tough as i get leaner. Does anyone else find it a bitch to make it through the whole night?
I originality thought it was hunger but now im not even hungry as i leave some macros till 10pm everyday.

I am tossing up weather to compete next April.. i guess i will keep pushing and make the call over the next month

True that! No problems homie.
Thanks for watching!

[demonwareltd]

I'm in for this... Need to get some more peeps up in this log too! I think once contest prep season is in full tilt you will see much more activity in this sub-forum. In the meantime, keep taking care of business in and out of the gym my man!

Yeah buddy need to get this section pumping!
Update today: new low 76.7 have been lurking around 1-2 lbs above this.

Training has been solid to say the least. Strength and energy is there! I'm noticing recovery is slowing a little. Thinking the cardio could be affecting this. I always notice my recovery is slowing when back stays tighter, hips feel kinda heavy and elbow takes longer to warm up.
Solutions
- more mobility and foam rolling on off days
- going to try get 3 nights of 8 hours + sleep

[sculpt07]

Update pics from last nights push B Hypertrophy workout:
*may not seem insane but this is the leanest and dryest my triceps have been.. So I'm happy
I told myself 4 years ago that If I can ever get a tricep straition then I would never lift again as that was the goal. This now seems attainable!! But quitting training ain't gonna happen!

[bigryan03]

DUDE! Fking lean as hell. Your physique...I want!
What gym in Sydney do you train at?

Quick update before i train some Push
Yesterday did strength B leg workout.

- Lying hamstring warmup 3 medium weight sets
- Stiff leg dead/Romanian 5 sets of 6 on 140kg (felt heavy, possible because it was an early morning session)
- Front squats got up to 3 sets on 100kg (still getting back into) Felt really good and powerful out of the bottom 1/4

ha ha yeah the weight is certainly dropping bro!
Have a fair bit more to lose around sides and lower back to be ready but this should be a good first show. Legs are small but im hoping i can get diced enough to make them look sharp

I have the logins for the client resources is that what you meant? So far i am super impressed with the coaching and how professional yet loyal their setup is.

Keep Pushing hard dude
