PB=FAIL? Meh.

Great mark Pickle! Your legs must be full of hard and well shaped muscles (no homo, but you know that)

Hey kids, I still want to get stronger and build my physique if possible Im going to aim to gain 5-10kgs so im gonna draw up a strict calorie plan over next few days. Basically ive got to change my training. I need to get more conditioned for a) the police force b) my own health c) professional wrestling. ha ha. The small show Ive been helping out has a heap of oppurtunities coming up and ive always liked wrestling and definately want to work to get on the show. Im already bigger then anyone on their regular card but my conditioning is out of whack. Yesterday I had some in the ring training taking bumps forwards and backwards, doing dive forwards rolls,forwards rolls, and back rolls, grappling, shoot wrestling and about a billion bw squats and burpees. The squats and burpees absolutely killed me but at least i was doing them properly. Anywho in short, even tho 5*5 was probably a good scheme for my strength it had a few shortfalls and these are made obvious to me now with the new interest im pursuing. A dude came up to me in the crowd and said are you getting training id love to see you wrestle youve got a good look for it. lol. Anywho I will do some research on programs I still want strength but I want it over higher rep ranges.

Before anything ill read up on 5/3/1 again I think that could really be good because your pushing for a rep max and you can do high volume supporters. You get to do a lot more exercises then what I was doing in 5*5.

what do u guys think if i ran something like this.

mon- Squats 5/3/1, Front Squats, Leg Curls, Weighted situps, reverse hypers
Tues- Militaries 5/3/1, Pushpress, Dips, CHins, Inverted row
Wed- Conditioning Bw squats, burpees, pushups, Farmers walks? , Touch footy
Thurs-Cleans, Deads 5/3/1, Weighted hypers, Weighted crunches.
Friday- Bench 5/3/1,Pushpress, Dips, CHins, Inverted row
Sat- Conditioning
Sun- OFF

I feel as if i need to include weighted neck work and direct bi,tri,shoulder work as well. If Im gonna be in the ring I have to look the part thats all. I havent tried to grow my arms for ages and my delts have just been stagnate.

Obviously straight up Ill have to be more deligent with calories working out and eating to a clean surplus...

 

[El Freako]

I'd adjust it so that you have 2 full days off training, possibly:
mon- Squats 5/3/1, Front Squats, Leg Curls, Weighted situps, reverse hypers
Tues- Militaries 5/3/1, Pushpress, Dips, CHins, Inverted row
Wed- Conditioning Bw squats, burpees, pushups, Farmers walks? , Touch footy
Thurs- OFF
Friday- Cleans, Deads 5/3/1, Weighted hypers, Weighted crunches.
Sat- Bench 5/3/1, Pushpress, Dips, CHins, Inverted row, Conditioning
Sun- OFF

This will allow a bit more recovery time and give you a chance to grow.

Or split your days, lift in the morning and conditioning in the evening? You could get 3 days rest doing that.

 

[_ROBERTiNHO_]

For neck do some bridges, back and front. And maybe some weighted extension/flexion.

 

[Pickle]

thanks rob. i might do neck as part of my conditioning workouts

did 1rm testing tonight for 5/3/1 didnt test dead as i have ever intention of being conservative on that lift

New pbs.
180kg squat. (a2g)
135kg bench (should of got 140 but had a case of stupid tricep syndrome)
80kg milatary (should of got 90kg but had a 2nd bout of tricep syndrome.)

so my maxes for 5/3/1 cycle will be.
162kg squat
121.5kg bench
72kg military
and im gonna go with 140kg deadlift lolol.

mass cuddles?

 

[Skeptic]

[Natzo]

[Pickle]

So i have every intention on getting upto 105kgs. I've had my BMR tested a few times (just for interest sake) averaged out to about 2300. Ill sit down with somone and do the rest of it more scientifically but just for a rough guide atm. ive been hovering around 99-100kg for about 2-3months so Im going to strictly watch cals (first time ever) I may even log it lolol.

Using Health Information, Resources, Tools & News Online - EverydayHealth.com
my maitenance cals are about 3339 and my gain 1 pound a week which is what ill shoot for 3839. Sounds like fun no?

Meal 1.
1 cup fullcream milk, 1tbsp milo(choc malt flavour for all you foreigners playing along at home) 2 scoops whey concentrate.
411.5 Cal

Meal 2.
10 weetbix, 1tbsp honey, 2 cups light milk
954 cal

so far sitting on 16.5 fibre. Good ol weet bix

trained just an easy session tonight ill all into 5/3/1 from monday.
did 2 sets legpress, stiff leg deadlifts low weight but for 30 and 20 reps
No benches were free so I cleaned the oly bar had 60kg on and did 2 sets of straight up milataries. 1*10 and a minute later 1*7 If I push pressed it could of been epic. Hopefully I can do better when i start 5/3/1
Did bw dips superset with seated row for 12 and 15 reps 2 sets
did rear cable fly superset with cable fly lol 2 sets of 12 reps
then just took 45 secs between sets
2 sets of side raises
2 sets of db tri overheads
2 sets of preacher curls

I was pretty epicly swole at the end lol. First "pump" id had in a long time. Arms felt like they were pushing 18inches lol so in King of the lurkers terms they were pushing 45 inches.

will stretch later.

I have about 1000 calories to go to make target as well.
Meal 3 was baked beans on 3 peices of fruit toast lol
meal 4 was a protein shake and an orange in 1 cup light milk
after workout was protein shake with 1 cup light milk tbps of sugar and a killer pyton. BAM

Gonna have a shit load of green beans and some garlic chicken breast and hopefully that will get me near the 1000 cals i need...

No wonder i never gained weight lol, I was always eating at a caloric deficit it seems and only the occasional fast food binge brought me to maitenance loolpolol
