Hey man, your progress is really fantastic! Congrats!

Also, awesome with the deadlifts. Deadlifts are the greatest! Nothing makes me feel tougher than just pullin a bunch of weight off the ground

Ty, so far it is my favorite lift, nothing can beat the joy of deadlifting =)

I follow your journal also, you have some good deadlifts there =)

Another quick update,

leg day, aiming for:

deadlift 4 sets x 8 reps x 120lbs~55kg

legpress 45º 4 sets x 8 x 132lbs~60kg

one leg squats 4 sets x 8 x 66lbs~30kg

Well, gotta share something with whoever reads this.

Today I was feeling really crappy, I'm feeling small and weak because I`m cutting, this is the first time I ever do this. ( have in mind that I started training early january this year ).

 

So the time I got to the gym the first thought I had in mind was `fuck, I wrote I was going to hit 55kg on my deadlifts, what if I don't?`

This thought got stuck in my head so hard that I thought it could ruin my training.

What did I do? I got the 10kg bar, loaded with 50kg worth of plates, total of 60kg (132lbs) and nailed every rep with that 5kg extra weight, and even did 9 reps in the last set =)

All of this so I would not dissapoint anyone that is reading this! I wanted to show myself that all the bananas I ate throught the week are worth something!

 

So, here`s todays training session:

 

6 sets of abdominal exercises to warm up

overhead press 4 sets x 8 reps x 30lbs~14kg dumbbells

cable upright row 4 sets x 8 reps x 99lbs~45kg

lateral raises 4 sets x 8 reps x 15lbs~7kg -> light weights because my forearm really hurts doing this, maybe because I'm a computer programmer

 

deadlift 4 sets x 8 reps x 132lbs~60kg -> felt heavy, the last set I did 9 reps!

legpress 45º 4 sets x 8 x 132lbs~60kg

one leg squats 4 sets x 8 x 66lbs~30kg -> last set I failed in the 6th rep, but it felt good

seated calf raises 4 sets x 8 SLOW reps x 88lbs~40kg

 

Pretty much nailed this training session!

I guess I`ll be sore by morning!

Hi guys,

I`ve been neglecting my virtual log, but rest assured I`m still lifting. Or, well, trying to lift!

Finished my cutting diet, almost total failure! Lost a lot of lean mass, but at least I learned a lot in the proccess.

 

I will try to update more!

 

About the deadlifts, haven`t improved since my last update, cutting diets suck and make you weak!

Just started a bulk again, now the good times will begin =)

I had the same problem last year. Bulked hard = gained fat.

After this bulk, I did a cutting diet and shed 8kg (17lbs ). The cutting was easy for me, I`m a `skinny` type of guy like you.

 

Now I`m planning my diet and training with a vegan bodybuilder which is a friend of mine here in Brazil.

The first thing I did was to cut processed processed carbs. That means no sugar, no flour, no bread, no pasta . . .

My carb sources are brown rice, sweet potatoes, regular potatoes, oats and fruits.

 

Right after I decided to stop cutting, I slowly switched to a higher calorie diet, that`s one mistake I made in my past bulk, I calculated that I should consume 2600 calories and started eating that amount overnight. This time I`m taking my time, in the end of my cutting diet I was consuming 1600 calories a day, I switched to 1800 calories and in the subsequent week to 2000 calories. Doing that my goal is to gain max. 0.5kg (1 lbs) every 10 days.

So i kept weighting myself (first thing in the morning, fasted, after i pee) until my weight seemed to go up. I got to 2200 calories. After 10 days eating 2200 calories I gained exactly 0.5kg(1lbs).

 

So, thats where I am at right now, it`s not even been a month since I went back to bulking, almost 1kg (2.2lb) up. And that will be my strategy, go up slowly and without consuming anything processed.

 

My training is a simple ABCD split, 4 days a week (5 if I feel like going an extra day). And sometimes if I feel like it I do some intermitent running (run 1min/walk 2 min/run 1min/walk 2min) for 15 minutes top.

The training strategy is to keep the weight training constant and as I consume more calories I will do more activities to burn some extra calories and speed up my metabolism ( some short HIIT activities, never exceeding 15 minutes)

 

Was that clear? If you want I could post my current diet. Seems to be working now that I have some help from a friend =)
