TRAINING

I start the log with first day of 10s... so:

21 January 2013
Today i felt well rested from the weekend. I was also 67,5 kg on my scale this morning... I think it was some water because im really gaining a lot of weight very fast and im also leaner. Probably the creatine?

Deadlifts: 3x10x52,5 kg
Leg Press: Myo Reps 1x15 + 4x5 x 75kg
Military Press 2x10 + 2x5 16,5 kg
Pendlay Rows 3x10x27,5 kg
Dumbell Bench Press Myo Reps 1x13 + 3x5 + 2x4 x 11 kg dumbells

Then i felt like doing two myo reps series of curl and skullcrshers and some crunches... Overall very good training day, felt very pumped, love hst!

This morning i was 68 kg right after waking up. I continue to steadily gain weight, right now i gained 4,2 kg since 01/01/13 (about 9,26 lbs). Waist about the same, i start to see veins in the shoulders and arms. Im really motivated, i'm seeing results real fast.

Today workout felt really good. What i've done:

Dumbell Curls: Myo Reps 1x15 + 4x4 x 6kg
Crunches

Total time, about 50 minutes

Probably 1-1.5kg of that is creatine + water, but that doesn't mean you're kicking any less a$$. Beginner gains are awesome, keep it up

 

[Stemad]

Yeah, without the probably, 2 kg are water for sure But it's very motivational Would be wonderfull to gain at this rate forever lol, it's a shame it's a short lived thing

25 January 2013

Deadlift: 2x10 + 1x8 x 60 kg
Leg Press: Myo Reps 1x15 + 4x4 x 85 kg
Military Press: 2x10 + 2x5 x 20 kg
Pendlay Rows: 3x10 x 32 kg
Dumbell Bench Press: Myo Reps 1x10 + 4x5 x 13 kg
Lat Pulldown: Myo Reps 1x14 + 4x4 x 40 kg
+ Some arm work done chatting with a friend that i didn't see in 2 years and some crunches

So first week of 10 done. Strenght continue to increase in every lift, but i've shooted some photos and compared with those of last week, it seems to me i'm a little more bloated, and not really much different on upper body mass. On the other hand, legs are growing and i see a difference.. Oh well, this is a game of patience, so we will see at the end of the cycle what gains i will have. Too bad that i don't have a plicometer to measure BF. I can only rely on circumferences equations or an impedance scale that put me at 25% (impossible ) so i don't have a really precise method of measure BF apart from the mirror, and the mirror tell me it's going up right now.

On a side note, when i look at myself in the mirror, i like myself better than in the photo. It can be my mind it's playing tricks on me and in reality im not as good as i think when i watch myself, or im not really photogenic. it's sort of when you hear your voice in a recording, you think to have a really sexy and deep voice and then usually you are disappointed when you hear it lol.
