    Hi all,


    Some back round,

    around this time last year i started doing some lifting before i went overseas(6 weeks).

    In the 6 weeks i got up to

    Bench 93kg x 5x5 (BW at the time)
    Squats 160KG x2
    Deadlift 160KG x1

    and 15 pull ups.


    I was overseas for a while, And lost alot of mass, around 3 stone by the time i got back.

    Now i did come back a few months ago, But to be honest i stopped all training and put 3 stone back on but this time fat!. ( I was being lazy i know that :D )

    Anyways, I started training again this week. This is what i have done so far.

    How about adding in some dips, chins and pullups.
    Should be training 3 - 4 days a week to see gains I would think.

    Id suggest doing deadlifts and squats on different days and definitely not doing them one after the other since it looks like your lifting near your 1RM on them.

    As someone else mention, well worth adding in chins but you do have inverted rows so maybe your building upto chins eventually?

    How about mixing up your training as well by putting in lunges or split squats as well instead of deadlifts and squats the whole time

    I love squatting and deadlifting, I hate bench pressing tho.

    As for chin ups. I was going to add them in at the end of my workouts for next week.
