The Westlife Dynamic Effort Approach

    Decided I'd finally start a log... might force me to leave out the silly **** from my workouts and help focus me. Weighing about 94/95kg. In terms of supps, use whey, creatine and casein.

    Going to use a convention of Sets x Reps x Weights. BW = BodyWieght.

    Going through a 3x3 phase at the moment. Aim to hit 5/6 movements, use to overtrain like mad but taking an approach of 'if I can't say why I'm using this then I won't do it'. Focus my training around the compound lifts. Chest = Bench, Legs = Squats and Back = Deadlift (or variant thereof). For each one I do a heavy day (80 -90%) then 3 days later a much lighter day (max of 75%).

    Sunday April, 28.

    Flat Regular Grip Bench.
    12 x 20kg
    5 x 40kg
    5 x 60kg
    3 x 80kg
    3 x 105kg
    3 x 115kg
    3 x 3 x 120kg

    3 x 55kg
    3 x 75kg
    3 x 95kg

    Chin Ups

    Squat felt terrible, depth was definitely there but I felt so loose under the bar. Think it was down to two things:
    1) I set the rack pins too high. I like to set the pins lowish so I have to squat the bar out of the rack, rather than "shrug" the bar out. I should have stopped and reset the rack but I stupidly didn't.
    2) Compounding the above, I wore a loose and sleek (no homo) Under Armour polo, and just couldn't get the bar tight to my back.
