Approved Log My Training Log - Another old man trying to live life as a young man

I'm not sure whether I'm excited or annoyed. Trying to buy a new wetsuit this morning and after measuring and comparing multiple brands I've got the same issue. Looks like my V shape is starting to come, I'm either too small in the waist or too large in the chest

Starting to look like I'm a disco diva in some of my medium t shirts, slowly starting to phase out. Never really planned for the new wardrobe when I started training properly.

Nice problem to have lol

Bit short on time this afternoon but managed to get 90% of my workout in. Slight improvement on the deadlifts but still having adductor issues so can’t push anymore for a while.

Forgot my lunch so sadly it was toast and a protein shake. Stupidly left it out in the kitchen when I left for work so probably not even edible now.

Need to work on widening my shoulders and chest. Shoulders are small but happy with chest thickness just not the width.

Thanks slowly getting there. 177th workout today. Lots of ups and downs but happy with progress.

I want to be 90kg at 10% body fat. Long way to go as means another 5.5kg of muscle to gain and about 1.5kg of fat to lose.

Only being able to train three times a week is a hurdle. Guess I’m another 18 months away.

Another 5kg of tissue on your frame would be a killer look. Would you ever do an extended bulk to get there or gradually gain and sit just above maintenance cals?

I'd like to just do a longer cycle and extended bulk, but I just can't eat enough. I'm struggling with eating enough now at 86kg, Have been considering just buying carb powder or apple juice and adding that in. I'm just worried due to the amount of sugar what are in them. Had a look at Karbolyn what @Dunstone recommended, that looks great, but I just can't afford to add that in.

Once I'm back to my pre injury lifts I'll start my deca cycle, and increase my calories, but I think it's more likely to be a leaner bulk than I'd prefer. I really don't know how you guys manage to be able to eat so much (cleanly).

I like the idea a leaner bulk with a small calorie surplus. A few extra carbs around training helped kickstart my bulk. I must admit though, towards the end of it at 3800 cals and 50mg anadrol it wasn't always easy to get the food down!

You've got the best food out there too! You should see what I have to force myself to eat

Happy Friday all, real rush today so not full workout, max of 60 minutes to train and wash. Managed to smash this out in 43 minutes, leaving just enough time to wash and eat.

Didn't have time to setup for box squats, so 2/3rd range of motion on the leg press to alleviate issues with my adductor and fractured toe.

Slight increase on everything, looking forward to getting back under the bar for real squats.

New injection day today. Decided to move to tues, thr, sat. Training first thing Monday morning is dehydrating myself too much before testing. Also creates a mad rush to get to work. Testing on the Tuesday is better as I can ensure I’m hydrated better pre testing without the rush.
