I like this kind of instinctive, raw, unadulterated rage type training. It rules. I will do a little bit of something every day, unless I don't fancy it, in which case I wont do anything.

Did about 3hrs of garden work today and about 2hrs of painting. So that my cardio for the month :045:

Weight down to 185 so obviously not happy. Getting too many comments along the lines of 'Hi, Rob. Have you lost weight? You look different, smaller?' So I am force feeding myself as of today, with a slightly more scientific approach than I usually take.

So I plan to bloat out for a week-10 days. Get my glycogen stores back up to absolute bursting point, then really really eat lots of protien whilst not going above 3700kcals/day until I am considerably larger.

Hernia feels great so training is maybe a little more productive.

Bloat. Day 1.
Weight: 185lbs.

1. 0.5ltr apple juice. Coffee. 2x cheese sandwiches. Multi vit. 0.5ltr water.
2. 0.5ltr water. 2x bananas.
3. Bowl of all bran. 0.5ltr water.
4. Lasange. 0.5ltr water.

Random training. Day 1. Week 1.
Floor press - 40x2x30
Reverse Curl + Front squat - 40x10x2-3*
Row - 40x1x50
Curl - 7.5x1x35
Calves - BWx2x50

*Not even close to failure obviously. Stopped the set as soon as became taxing.

Grip training. Day 1. Week 2.
Bar bend - 200x1 180x2 200x2
CoC#1 - 3x4

Random training. Day 1. Week 1.
Curl - 40x5x5
Claves - BWx2x30
Floor press - 40x1x40

It means my wrists are severly, chronicly, hurting and I have decided to not do any grip work today and instead try something new. I.e. Curling, no where near failure, throughout the day. Completing maybe 20-30 sets of 5 reps. i plan to do this all month.

Weight: 184lbs :(
Ate shit all yesterday. I am gay.

1. 2 poached egg sandwiches. Coffee. 500ml water.
2. Liver and bacon and shepards pie. 500ml water. Cadbury twirl. Coffee.

Random training. Week 1. Day 5.
Curl - 40x12x8
Calves - BWx12x20
Floor press - 45x12x8

So that looks a little extreme. Its because its split up throughout the day..

Bar bend - 200x1x5 (about 5-10seconds rest inbetween bends)
