There has been a lack of updates mainly due to me not doing anything that exciting.
I think you have the idea of what I do training wise.
Three training session per week, focus on heavy compound movements with isolation in there as well.
My food is pretty basic also. I only eat processed foods once and a while and have a few treat at the weekend. Other than that it's natural foods cooked well. My main focus with food in the couple of years off is to get the calories up while still staying within a decent weight limit. For me I won't sit any heavier than 70kg max. Thats over 10kg from stage weight and I find getting weight off a challenge. I will do this by slowly adding food, rather than just eating 4000 calories.
Supplements wise. I will be very basic on this front.
My sponsorship with Smart tec has ended so I will have to be careful with what I buy due to cost.
I plan to use. A protein blend or whey, creapure creatine and Branch chain amino acids during training.
Which I will be buying from www.bulkpowders.co.uk SG39238
fOR Money off
Other than those three. I will get glcosamine, multi vit and vitc. Just a supermarket own brand. Maybe vitamin d in the winter months.
So that's my off season plan. Very simple. Get bigger, get stronger and have some fun.
I had a delivery this week from Muscle food and was very impressed with the quality.
My reveiw can be found here. SG667 will get you some free food.

30/11/13
A solid week of training, nothing to set the world on fire but decent non the less.
Injury is nearly healed so I will try a few deadlifts on Tuesday and see how it feels.
This weeks Training
Back
Chins
me x 15

I have a goal of getting to 20 reps of chins, not far off now.
Bent over rows

80kg x 12
80kg x 12
80kg x 10
dumbell rows
50kg x 10
50kg x 8
tried rack deads but the fact the rack won't go low enough and I'm mega short meant that they didn't work very well.
Smith shoudler press
50kg x 10
70kg x 6
70kg x 5 then a double drop set
seated laterals
14kg x 10
14kg x 8 then a few partials
rope crunches x 4 sets
My glute issue is getting much better, not wanting to do anything potentially risky this week but bent over rows were out last week and felt fine today.
Chest and arms
15 degree incline press
2 warm ups
80kg x 4 to heavy for me
70kg x 5,5,5,4
flys 2 sets
had my partner provide extra resistance in the negative by pushing against my arms.
incline press
50kg x 7 then 4 drops
alternate dumbell curls
1 warm up
18kg x 8
18kg x 6
rope hammers

each rep was from a dead stop
pushdowns

32.5kg x 10
incline close grip bench
50kg x 9
60kg x 6
overhead rope ext
10kg x 20, just fancied a nice pump
Job done. The 5x5 took up a bit of time and meant the rest of the workout seemed a little rushed. Got through and felt it was productive.
Guess I am never going to be the strongest presser but it gives me something to work on. Last year off I defiantly thickened my chest, quite a bit. Thats my main priority along with thicker abs and not getting to fat
Legs
I have been free from pain for a good week now, injury wise so I thought a session based on squats and form would be good.
Legs ext

hamstring curl

60kg x 10
60kg x 10
80kg x 8
80kg x 8
100kg x 10
100kg x 7
Every rep was bang on and obviously shy of failure. To be honest I think going to failure on squats is blinking dangerous. I'd rather have another rep in the bag and them all be perfect than go for that last rep and it be a touch of and get another injury.
Hamstring curl
35kg x 20,, rest paused out the reps
calf press on the plate loaded leg press
ss
standing bodyweight calf raises
4 sets back to back. Burned big time
A lot of stretching and there is a slight tightness in the lower back just above where the glute was knotted but really nothing to worry about. Quite happy that I got through the session.

24/11/13
With a month till Christmas it's time to really crack up the intensity before we have some down time and rest.
This was last weeks training
The glute is getting better. Generally pretty pain free. Sitting all day makes it a bit sore but it loosens. Really giving it time to heal. Foam rolling, hot baths and deep heat are helping as well.
Back and Shoulders today
Chins
me x 11, 4,4,4
row row machine
70kg x 9
70kg x 8
dumbell rows
36kg x 12
36kg x 15
All reps were very clean, nothing risking at all.
Dumbell shoudlers press
1 warm up
30kg x 9
30kg x 6
seated strict laterals
10kg x 11, 10,11
cable shrugs
30kg x20
35kg x 20
Can't do deads so wanted to get some blood in the traps
Did some rope crunches
Really like the faster pace of doing sessions this way, we can always go for lower reps when we feel the need and there is not pressure of log book beating when you don't feel right. If we are strong we will go heavy if it's an off day or we have a twinge, higher reps more sets
Chest and arms today
Taken chest away from shoulders as chest is a weak point for me and I want to have it as a priority
15 degree press
bar x 30
40kg x 20
60kg 9
80kg x 2 ds 60kg x 5
incline machine press
60kg x4 ds 50kg x 5 the first set was to heavy for me
50kg x 6
flys, 1 set, started at incline, then flat then decline

35kg x 10

dumbell preachers
8kg x per hand x 12
8kg x x10
few rest pauses
decline skulls
35kg x 12
35kg x10
That was that. Finding a bit of pyramiding throught the weight is helping with the elbow niggles and I feel more ready when the sets get heavier. I might not be quite as strong but I feel a lot less like my muscles will tear and I feel the stress in the muscle rather than the joints
Legs today
This time last week, I really tweaked the already injured glute minor so I was a tad nervous.
Leg press
2 plate 50 reps
3 plates 20 reps
4 plates 20 reps
5plates 20 reps
5 plates 10 reps low, 10 reps mind, 10 reps high
leg ext

seated hamstring curl
Just went back and forth. Sets of 10. Must have be 6 sets each
seated calf raise on smiths
130 x 25 rp
Did a lot of stretching, during and after the workout. The glute is much better. It's more of a slight soreness when I have been sitting still rather than a sharp pain.
Next weeks going to be the same kind of workout plan and then another sports massage on the Saturday. Should be sorted by then to do some sensible squats and deads

A Slightly PAINFUL WEEK
A big of news before the training.
After the leg session last week, I got up from my chair at work and my back felt stiff. A bit of foam rolling and It felt fine, I was just careful with it. Well this Friday during a set of dumbell deads I felt a pain in the top of my left glute. After a very painful day at work Friday I had a sports massage and I seem to have a big knot in my left glute minor. The sports massage and acupuncture has given me a lot of freedom back and now, no pain. So this week will be a very careful week in regard to selection of exercises.
Here is last weeks workouts
Back and biceps
Had to be careful as my left lower back is really tight. So playing it safe.
Chins
me +10kg x 5 rp 2 rp2
then did 2 sets with bodyweight
lying on a bench rope pulloevers
15kg x 20

this was one set

then did some abs
Back hitting chest, shoulders and triceps. After doing chest and arms with Mr Fruin on Saturday and Bodybionic in Thatcham
Bench
85kg x 4 rp 1
ds
60kg x 5
front shoudler press
40kg x 11 rp 5 rp 5
skull crushers
40kg x 12 rp5 rp 4
tri set
flat dumbell press
laterals
overhead cable ext
did that 3 time
Now I still have this lower back twinge and I think this trying to beat the log book every week is going to cause me or Bnej and injury. I feel we are walking a fine line between safe and unsafe.
We both want some more volume and I need to be able to change the workout based on how my body is feeling.
So I will be doing workouts a bit more on the fly. Still based around free weight compounds and heavy weight. Probably more in the way of working up to the weight. So days we feel strong we can hit it heavy, if not more volume and drop sets
Legs today
Doing a bit more volume now. Bit faster workouts.

Product Review L-GLUTAMINE FX
L-Glutamine FX is 100% pure l-glutamine.
Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in human muscle, it's responsible for repair and recovery, helps the immune system stay strong and really helps digestion.
People at work know when dieting i quite often just put a teaspoon of glutamine in my mouth and wash it down with water. This really helps the sweet cravings and hunger when your dieting and also stops muscle breakdown.
This off season I have been very fortunate to be supplied a good amount of glutamine Fx by my sponsor Smart tec. So for the forseeable future I shall be getting in 30+ grams a day to see if that benefits me.
I will be posting about this in future blogs.

This weeks Training
This is the first week where we had to beat the log book back from week one and we sure did.
Before I list the training of the week, I just wanted to let you all know that I will be offering my services as a prep coach for next season. I have a wealth of knowledge after competing for the last 4 years. Couple that with my constant research and I will guide you to the path of glory.
This week so a weight gain of nearly 1kg. Bearing in mind the only change I made was the use of turkey thigh mince as my main protein source that must have been the reason. It's much more fatty than turkey or chicken breast. Had a restock so back on the leaner sources with my good fats this week.
Here is the training
Back and biceps
chins
me +5kg 8 rp 4 rp 2
deads
140kg x 9
110kg x 20
ez curls 35kg x 13 ro 6 rp 3
hammers 18kg dumbells x 21
super set straight bar pulldowns and revers grip pulldowns x 4 supersets. no rest
Good workout. Destroyed the numbers from last time. The gym now have mirrors in front of the smiths machine and squat rack. So I can now keep and eye on my form for deads and squats. Just gives me a bit more confidence.
Chest, Shoulders and Triceps
flat bench
80k x 8 rp 3 rp 2 added 10kg from last time
seated free bar press
40kg x 12 rp5 rp 3 having no back support was a no no for me. We did these sat on the floor last time
decline skull crushers
30kg x 15 rp 5 rp 6
5kg up and many more reps
then did a superset of flys and lateral raises. Did that 4 time back to back with no rest. Like one giant rest pause set
Legs
Got the legs warm with 50 reps each of leg ext and hamstring curl
sldl. Done them again to get them away from squatting
120kg x 13 rp 6 rp 5
leg press
300kg x 13
220kg x 22
calf press
130kg x 9
then some walking lunges
Doms all over after this weeks training. Benj is working like a trojan and we are having some great workouts

Product reveiw Smart tec Whey Fx
I will be reveiwing a new product or supplement every week.
Smart tec whey fx Today
Whey Fx is a blend of whey protein concentrate, milk protein isolate and whey isolate. Perfect for those times when the body needs protein quick. I use whey Fx post workout and pre workout.
This product has only 3.3g of carbohydrates per serving, tastes and mixes fantastically well.
For me digestion is a big factor with the food and supplements I use. I get no bloating at all with Whey fx and find it sits very well.
Also if you use SCOTT10 you will get 10% at the Smart tec online store
