Joined the gym 3 years ago, but had a huge thumb/lower back injury that took me out until late January last year, spent the next 4 months cutting, then clean bulked till school. Was dirty bulking from October until January and have cut around 20 lbs since then. Sadly I had gone full retard on my bulk and although I am way stronger than I was before I'm still in skinny-fat/ doyouevenlift.jpg mode. This log will be from the day after I turned 21 to my next birthday.
Pics from this morning after a night of beer and extraordinarily high sodium food.
Current lifts
Bench: 195x1
Dead lift: 295x1
Squat: 205x5 (remember that lower back problem? Acts up on squats)
DB shoulder press- 55x6
Currently cutting for a bit longer, but at the end of June I intend to eat 200-300 over maintenance and clean bulk. Goal lifts are 225 bench, 250 squat (will be greatest challenge) and about tree fiddy on dead lift. Then cut. Then repeat with new goals.
One year, more than a reasonable amount of time to invest in myself.

Oh, and doing PHAT while training for Tough Mudder in August (just means I have to run more and get to eat more).
Cardio day: 25 minute run. I knew the one mile mark and looked at how long I had been running for and I was around 7 minutes, not bad never really timed it since grade 9 when I was at 9:13 lolEat Right. Lift Heavy. Be a Fat Manlet.

I'm going to make one hopefully. I'm kind of stuck in between two options. Either I keep cutting for like three weeks, or I maintain for now. Both options end with a lean bulk. I just feel like there is nothing else to cut to. I can see my top abs with really good lightning, but other than that, I see no point to continue to cut.

Either way you don't have much fat left, get on that bulk lol.
It feels like the way the load is being held puts pressure in that specific area. It's very strange but I honestly think dead lifting is what has healed my back as much as it has.Eat Right. Lift Heavy. Be a Fat Manlet.

Knew this ******* would arrive shortly.
Not a great start to the thread ended the day at 1635 calories, only 120g of protein. Also did some cardio so I'm closer to 1300 calories, a good thing to make up for yesterday's birthday meals.
Tomorrow is back/shoulders hypertrophy, pumped for dem pull ups.Eat Right. Lift Heavy. Be a Fat Manlet.

Back/shoulder hypertrophy today:
Pull ups: BWx 10,8,6
Seated cable row:
12 plate x 20
14 plate 3x8
7 plates till failure
DB Row:
60x 14,14, 10
Close grip pull down:
130lbs 2x15
90 lbs 1x13
Seated DB shoulder press:
40 lbs 3x12
upright row:
50 x15
60x12
lateral raises
20 lbs x20, 15,12
Ended with face pulls super setted with db shrugs.
I've never gone past 8 reps because I've gotten a very low rep mind set. So for hyper trophy days I'm really trying to stay around 12 and not go under.
Also, reps to whoever tells me how to change fonts so I can make this less disorganized from now on lol.Eat Right. Lift Heavy. Be a Fat Manlet.

Chest/ arms hyper trophy
Flat bb bench:
135 x5
155x3x3

Starting the whole explosive's sets on hypertropy days, determined to get my max up now that I'm so close to 200.
Incline DB:
50x10
55- 2x7 Dropped to 45 for a set of 10
Hammer strength press:
45 plate 2x15
Decline bench: I've been doing this for the last couple weeks but something didn't feel right today, so I only did 1 set of 50s for like 6 and left it
Cable cross overs
45- 2x15
30- 1x15
EZ curl bar curls:
70- 2x7
60- 1x10
seated alternating db curl:

close grip bench:
95 lbs- 3x10 (I've hit 135x6 on this but my triceps were pretty wasted today)

Main goal for this day is to get some explosiveness on the flat bench and make my triceps stronger. My chest grows very well naturally so I know it will come along as long as I'm consistent and am finally eating some decent calories.
Macros so far today 799 64g 17g 82g (C/f/p).Eat Right. Lift Heavy. Be a Fat Manlet.

It started with my thumb, I smashed it while adjusting the incline on the bench without paying much attention to what I was doing, and it fell from pretty high right on to the knuckle, has nerve damage. Took 8 months to recover. A few months into this injury I was helping my mom bring one of those riding mowers off a truck and she let go of it at the highest point, my back twisted hard trying to catch it. Took for ever to fix it with stretching, squats, and deads.
Thumb probably rarely bothers me, lower back one still does unfortunately.Eat Right. Lift Heavy. Be a Fat Manlet.

Lower Power
Squat:
135- 2x10
210- 2x5 and a set of 3
Finally making some progress on squat again. Felt strong, might have done all 3 full sets if my knee didn't act up out of no where, felt I should stop.
Dead lift:
225x8
275x2
225x8
Wanted 275 for 3x5, but I think my legs were done. I'll have to reconsider lower power days when I get back from my vacation in 2 weeks. Probably just do what Layne suggests and use sldl as a supplement to squats, then change it up every few weeks to regular deads and squat supplement.
Captains chair- 3x15
weighted decline sit ups- 25lbs 2x10
Should have done some cardio today but I think the extra calories won't kill me with this squats, deads, and abs on the same day. Sitting at 1,460 119 47 134 (C/F/P) Gonna add in 300 from steak and some brocolli, should be around 1,800 119 65 180Eat Right. Lift Heavy. Be a Fat Manlet.

Nothing to report today. Ate like crap and didn't count macros (probably around 2400 calories and 130g protein). Poor decisions were made based on 4 hours sleep and having to much money. No lifting or miscing until next Sunday though, shall be drunk every day until then. I better make up for it later.

Florida my boy. As a Canadian that's kind of a big deal, you people have dirty cheap alcohol (even Canadian alcohol's cost less in the USA because you guy's don't tax alcohol nearly as much).
Plus, this gives me one week to let my CNS recharge itself to its full power. Let the PR's come at me.
Here you will find reps and support, I hope Frumpy shall gift you with his green cawk as you join me on this journey.Eat Right. Lift Heavy. Be a Fat Manlet.
