Day 1

As some of you may or may not know, I had a previous blog to this, where I expelled all my thoughts and secrets for a select few of you to read. I also used it as a organisational diary, so I don't miss out on important deadlines, and also to keep a log of my progress in the gym. Ever since a certain few events, I couldn't bring myself to post back on there, and of course everything else went out the window too (I'm really, really disorganisesd, I need an external force to help motivate me). So, I decided to pick my game up again, continue my workout log, except this time I'll keep the soppy stuff out of this; it's going to be purely about my journey to become a beast.

So sorry for the long-ass introduction, I've got a bit more to say before I kick-start this thing. Feel free to comment on this, give me some constructive criticism (although I probably won't take it well), give me motivation, anything. I write blogs for myself to read and to just get my thoughts out on paper, but I'd also appreciate anyone else's thoughts and opinions.

So, day 1 again. I'll take a few measurements when I can be bothered but for now I'll just post a log of my latest workout and my nutrition. Oh and in case you don't understand, it's weight x reps (x sets).

Monday's workout:
Squats 85x5x3
Bench presses 60x5, 62.5x4, 62.5x4
Deadlift 100x5
Dips +17.5x5x3

and the rest was just accessory work like abs and blah blah. Anyway yes, so I have lost a bit of strength from my 2 week break but it's okay, I'm slowly getting there, and I still have plenty of time to reach my goals of

squat 100x5x3
bench 70x5x3
deadlift 115x5

Anyway, my nutrition has been spot on so far, with my calculated maintenance calorie intake of 2500 calories. That's, 250g of carbs, 250g of protein, and 55g of fat. I started my FitDay calorie journal yesterday, and I'll post results

2545 calories @ 250.3g carbs, 210.6g protein, and 78.8g fat. Getting the protein in is alot harder than I thought (I have four scoops of whey on training days), and I got a fuckload of fat from eggs, milk and nuts wow. Anyway, today was slightly better with

2831 calories @ 282.3g carbs, 256.8g protein, 74.5g of fat. A bit better, although I actually had more carbs than that, substituted peanut butter with nutella today (did not end well...too sweet). Anyway, fat was slightly lower due to no eggs but instead cheated with some maccas which probably boosted it (with bad fats too). Ah well, at least I got my protein in for today (and only two scoops of whey and a scoop of casein that I'm about to have before bed). Eating big isn't as hard as I thought, or at least I overestimated how much I needed to eat. Anyway, 500cal above my maintenance should be enough for me to gain significant weight.

Gonna end this one here, my cursor went missing somewhere. Gonna figure out tomorrow how to structure my posts to make it easier to read and check out my stats. Not sure when or who I shall give the opportunity to read this, but for now it'll just be something good for me to keep to every day.

Sleep now (yes sleep is the one thing I've been sucking at lately). Peace.
