    Havn't updated this in a while. I finished off 6 cycles of GVT, it was a success. Gained 2 inches on my legs, 1.25 on my chest. 0.6 inches on my arms. So happy enough with it and according to the body calipers i'm down 1% bf. Weight is up to 93kg, up from 91. Could have eaten bigger but life got in the way.

    Anyway.

    Bench:
    60kg x 5
    80kg x3
    90kg x 1
    100kg x 5
    100kg x 5
    100kg x 5

    Did a strict 3-1-2 tempo with these, happy enough, felt nice to lift something heavy.

    Incline Db press:
    40kg x 6
    40kg x 6
    40kg x 6

    Dips
    Lack of dip belt meant I had to hold the Db between my legs which I hate

    Pull ups

    Hiit:
    Rower 30sec on/30secs off.



    My power off the floor from deadlifts is up, however my lockout/lower back strength is down as is my grip. Hopefully I can rectify this in the coming weeks.

    Pull up strength is also down. Once again I hope to rectify this.

    Today I started German Body Composition training in the attempt to cut bodyfat. I've changed up my diet to something that resembles Paleo and am trying to be as strict as I can. I started today at 93.5kg and 15% bf according to the callipers.

    A1: 45* Db press 40kg x 6
    A2: 45* Db press 25kg x 12
    A3: 30* Db press: 15kg x 25

    My shoulders were sore from sunday so unfortunately I had to drop the weight on the last "Set"

    B1: Chin ups+10kg x 6
    B2: Bent over Rows 60kg x 12
    B3: Facepulls x 25

    This was all very painful due to the amount of lactic acid build up. But if Poliquin is to be believed, it's a more effective fat burning pathway than aerobic. I'm doing this program in particular as a favour to a friend, who will be keeping track of measurements and what not for me. I'm might even be getting a free Dexa scan out of it!
