Hi all,
whats up? I'm a uni student at RMIT in Melbourne, Australia. There is nothing i am more proud of than being aussie, i LOVE Aussie Rules football and i kno that this is a big call but it is the BEST SPORT EVER (aside from lifting). The Bombers will get up this year just you watch.
It has now been about 18 months since i first started lifting weights. I think i've come a fair way. As of Monday next week i will be posting my training log. But i thought i would take this opportunity to get my sh*t straight and figure out just what it is that i want from it.
Basically when i first started i had one and only one objective in mind: get bigger. That has changed somewhat and i'm finding myself wanting to be able to lift the heaviest weight i can so am i drifting towards getting more into powerlifting? i'm not sure myself.
My program will consist of two days a week focusing on the major compound lifts and a few accessory ones.
Day 1: Bench Press, Back Squats, Pullups, Calf and grip work
Day 2: Deadlift, Overhead Barbell Press, Dumbell Curl, Rotator Cuff work
My Goals: basically they're one rep max's for the major lifts
Bench Press: 140kg
Squat: havent really thought about this...
Deadlift: 200kg
Overhead Press: Bodyweight (prolly gonna be 95-100kg)
Goal bodyweight: dunno probably 100-110kg at less the 15% bodyfat
My current best lifts:
Bench Press: 110kg, 1 rep
Squat: again havn't really tried i'll say 90kg for 3 sets of 10 reps but i intend to try for 100kg for reps on monday
Deadlift: 140kg, today, but feeling that form was not the best
Overhead: again havent tried for 1 rep max but i'll say 60kg for 5 in good form, again today.
Current bodyweight: 95kg not sure on bodyfat, not too high though can see my abs pretty easy!
Current Height: 192 cm (6 foot 3.5 inches)
Another goal which is almost as important is to find a training partner.
Still not sure how i'm gonna go about sorting how many reps and sets i'll aim for. I'm trying to get out of the 3 sets of 10 reps mindset, think i might have a chat to someone about it. Right now i'm thinking of about 3 work sets of 6-8 reps and possibly a fourth set to go heavy for as little as two, hmmm i dunno.
Well i guess all thats left is too get stuck in. Wish me luck
