Rossco's journal

Hi there.
It´s really nice if you can train at home. I don´t have enough space at my apartment here in Brazil, so I got to go to the gym everyday. I am not a lifiting weights person, but I guess your routines are really good, considering lifters goals.

great workouts always

all the best

for assistance exercises I was thinking of sticking to 4 sets 8-10 reps, this would include: dips, chins, curls, tri extensions, lunges etc. wendler does say it doesn't really matter and not to dwell too much on assistance but I feel I should have some idea of what I'll do.

I feel ancillary/assistance moves are important as they're only going to compliment your main lifts. Posterior chain and core movements should take the front seat, and I'd personally probably look at bringing more shoulder work than you have listed. Other than that, don't get too hung up on what exercises you're going to do ~ just make sure you do them

I hear ya although that list was just a few examples, I'll be doing side raises rows and loads of other stuff, just need to get in gear and make a list of what I'll do and when, I've already written out quite a few cycles of 5/3/1 :p

Less than a week until I get things going again! I think this resting period is doing wonders, I'm eating and sleeping perfectly and feel super relaxed.
New years eve was amazing went out with my gf and brother not expecting much but ended up bumping in to so many close and old friends, had a chine takeaway (fried bean curd) at 2am on the walk home. I'm still off work and college until the weekend so I'm sorting out my room for weight space
Hope everyone had a great new year, to all my friends on here I speak to regularly, thankyou for all the support, motivation, inspiration and laughs this year! Bring on 2013 xx

Hei friend! Nice New Year´s Eve, have a great year.

Good to hear you're all rested up and raring to go. What's some of your goals for this year mate?

[vegan_rossco]

Hey mini! Fitness goals for the year are to just get bigger and stronger, sort out a little cheap home gym and do at least 4 months of 5/3/1 whilst enjoying training

Did you put on or lose any weight over Christmas and New Year mate? Just curious !!

[vegan_rossco]

My weight hasn't really changed, stuck around 78/80Kg I ate sooo much over christmas day boxing day but have recently not felt like eating too much,had a huge dinner today at a carribean restaurant :p
How about you dude? What weight are you entering your next meet?

How about you dude? What weight are you entering your next meet?

Still the same weight class but I'll need to be as close to 145lb as possible so I can compete at my heaviest, and hopefully strongest. Next meet isn't until April so plenty of time to put on a little more size
