Carb your enthusiasm.

I'm starting this log to keep track of my training and to help others out who are in my boat.

Right, at the end of 2010 I weighed a whopping 24 stone and am now a fitter,happier 18.5. I spent most of 2011 doing metcons and bodyweight work with minimal,lifting sessions. I was however at my tubbiest big into powerlifiting/strongman although I never competed. I had max lifts of 200 dead,168 squat and a 140 bench.

Due to the type of training I was doing and a few niggling injures these numbers obviously decreased dramatically. Therefore, Its time to lose the last of the weight, get my numbers up slowly but surely and actually start competing. Good Buzz

I'm running Wendler's 5/3/1 with assistance work two days a week, so that breaks down to Monday - Deads and OHP with assistance and Friday - Squatz and Bench with assistance.

I'll also be doing two days of hard conditioning, one day of lower intensity cv and mobility work every night before bed.

I'll be including my daily diet also.

Enjoy reading, any pointers,advice and relevant input appreciated
