also putting you all on, try premiumsupplements for your preworkout, the dosages are INSANE for the pricepoint. If you buy their non-stim + stim combo its like 30 bucks a pack.

I normally take this with a caffeine pill for my preworkout

Diet Overview:
Aiming to stay at a slight calorie surplus to gain as much muscle as possible while keeping body fat low, however I may incorporate a minicut if I believe my body fat is getting too high.

Training Schedule: (days per week, types of workouts)
I train 4 days a week, following an Upper Lower split. I aim for a high-frequency low-volume training approach with a rep range of 4-9 to minimise fatigue. Further details on my exercise selection will be provided as I update the log

Goal for the Competition:
gain muscle while staying lean

Good on ya mate, 18 and already on top of your training and diet. The size will come if you keep at it. Eating in a surplus and staying lean is not easy. Main thing is to just stay consistent and trust the process. You’ve got time on your side and the right mindset. I'm sure you'll get some good results.

OVERALL REVIEW:
been quite busy this week so i'm filling in all the workouts this week right now, I have decided to switch to a upper lower split 6 times a week instead of 4 because I cannot bear to be without the gym for 3 days a week. As a result my volume for most session will take a hit as I'm am still trying to fit that 6-8 sets per muscle group a week to minimise muscle damage. Being in the gym more days is definitely more fun I must saw however and I'm hoping 3x a week frequency will help bolster my muscle development even if it is slight.

probably the best part of this change (at least for me) is that I can use a wider variety of machines when compared to only 4 days a week, this is great because there are so many movements I enjoy that I can finally fit into my program now, progress pics soon

OVERALL REVIEW:
solid progression but quite a few overshoots in terms of loading which caused me to get slightly less reps than I wanted (3 compared to 5-7), otherwise overall a great session. Attached are progress pics in both shitty lighting and gym lighting to keep consistency compared to my first set of pics.

also attached will be some recordings of my sets.

You're looking @oraphan

Weights are climbing up and still getting decent reps. Nice

 

[BigAPE]

Any updates? So far looks like your smashing it.

 

[oraphan]

Today was Upper 2 (Back Focused)
OVERALL NOTES:
woke up (slept in) had a tim tam and went straight to gym. Felt a little low on energy but didn't affect my lifts as much. Will probably have to switch out machine fly as I've maxed the stack and it's far too light now. Recently i started training serratus and the effect on my physique is insane, i'll post a update on physique soon if I remember

 

[BigAPE]

You can get away with Tim tams and still grow, that’s the beauty of being young. Enjoy it bro! You got age on your side 100%

Good to see you're staying consistent
