Right, gonna try this log business to try keep me focussed. Was making great progress with the oul Body before the snow and exam period, which severely impacted my ability to get to the gym / eat properly, and then Christmas did what it does every year and rounded me out again.
I started the Stronglifts 5x5 programme in September, and made pretty decent lifting gains in it, however, was in the gym Monday and today, and found I'm back a fair few kgs from what I had been lifting.
I'm also going to throw in some of my study goals, and time spent studying "properly" over the next few months, as I don't want to fall into the cram trap once again, which is why I couldn't keep my fitness regime during the exam times.
Current Me
Height - 175cm
Weight - 81.7kg (went from 85->78 between Sept and December before exams took over my life)
Bodyfat% - Too much (have to get this checked)
Goal Me
Weight - 73kg
Bodyfat% - Less
Stronglifts 5x5 is simple stuff. Two sessions, three times a week.
The plan is to lift the heaviest weight you can (while maintaining correct form for the lift) for 5 reps, rest and repeat 5 times.
Current Weights
Squat - 75
Bench - 60
Overhead - 40
Deadlift - 50 (Can lift far more than this, but only did it for first time in 2 months today).
Diet
Today was a baaaad day dietwise.
Breakfast
Flapjack (woke late, rushed to bus, grabbed something I could eat during lecture)
Lunch
2 eggs, 2 sausages, 2 bacon, 2 hash browns
Dinner was good
Chillies, Peppers, Sugar Snap Peas, Baby Sweetcorn, Turkey Breast pieces. 2tsp of Green Thai Curry sauce and a splash of milk
Snacks
Nuts (probably too many )
Sliced Ham
Cucumber and light vinegarette salad dressing.
Gymwork
Did Routine B
I'm going to try get back into the Keto diet starting as soon as I get my sleeping pattern fixed. Few heavy gym sessions and no booze during this week should sort me out I think.
Keto = no carbs pretty much. Target Calorie intake ~ 1800
Study work
5 hours of lectures, little to no work done since
