xCx Posted May 23, 2009 Author Share Posted May 23, 2009 This week has been complete and utter crap! Writing a 30 page assay on the history of Danish literature and working to pay the bills has given me NO time to go work out.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xCx Posted May 24, 2009 Author Share Posted May 24, 2009 There is always next week! Haha, that's true It's just that I'm usually a very active person, and when I don't get to move around I get annoyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xCx Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Exercise is looking good. how's your diet? Thanks! At the moment I'm not following any specific diet. I basicly just try and eat well, which can be a bit tricky though when you're a student and on a bugdet A typical day would look something like this: 08:00Large bowl of oatmeal with soy milk + fruit 10:001-2 Bananas (sometimes i drink a brown rice protien shake) 11.30A large bowl of salad (usually with lentils/beans and nuts) 15:004-5 pieces of rye bread with humus/tofu, avocado and mushrooms 18:00Brown rice with fried tofu, veggies and beans 20:00Leftovers or 3-4 pieces of rye bread with bean spread and mushrooms Also, on the course of a day I'll drink a buttload of water, atleast half a liter per meal.

xCx Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 So, todays workout was fun. Before i even got started some noodle-armed choir boy couldn't manage his 7kg DBs on his OH press, so somehow he fell and dropped on of em' on my thigh.. Anyways, i helped the guy on his feet and adviced him to try out a pair of leighter DBs Sunday (B) 31/5-09 SquatWarm up sets: 5x20kg - 5x40kg - 5x60kg - 5x80kg - 3x90kg - 2x100kg3x5 110kg (From is getting much better.

xCx Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 It's been one of those weeks again. Exams have been taking almost all of my time and this week i had to write a 40 page assay on ethics, so basically I've just been sitting on my couch reading and writing days on end. So, what am I going to do now you ask? fucking sleep, that's what!! I'm so mentally exhausted that I can hardly focus on updating my log Nighty night!

xCx Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 Monday (A) - 08/07-09 I took a maintenance day today. Lack of sleep for the last couple of days has made me quite sluggish. Will add weight next time.

xCx Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 The mystery of the missing squat rack have been solved. Apparently someone fell and busted his ass using the rack and our gym manager deemed it to dangerous for our gym, so the genius sold it I'm speechles.. Who the hell sells a rack just because some meathead can't handle his weights!?! Christ! So now I'm on the lookout for a new place to work out..

That's some serious weight/reps on the Squats you had going. I'm looking forward to squatting my own bodyweight for 5x5 that's my first mini-goal. Hope you find somewhere soon so you can keep building on them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
