| Re: My Weight Training Journal Nice journal fozy. ;)
I would dump the flys for chest, they are more a finishing move when getting ready for a contest. You need a foundation mate the flys will only hold you back from pushing more weight on the compound exercises, IMO.
I would focus on the 5 best exercises that the strongest and biggest men use. Bench, squats, deadlifts, military press and pull-ups.
Think of multiple joint exercises, just a thought.
Train like a power lifter eat like a bodybuilder.
If you are not getting stronger on your lifts you are either over training or not getting enough sleep. You do way more exercises that me and I have been training for over 30 years.
I train every other day. You don't grow in the gym, you grow while resting.
I just started doing dead lifts (because of your brit guys) and I have gained 10 lbs in 3.5 months and put 100 lbs on my dead lift. It's still a learning experience for me too.
Here is the bottom line (IMO). Add weight to the bar, have a clean diet and add weight to your body.
The more muscle you hold the more you get to eat....lol ;)
Feel free to blast me a pm at any given moment.
P.S. If you start to stall, just switch up excercises and rep ranges.
Example, use dumbells instead of bar, instead of 8 reps to 5 or 12.
Love your journal and starting up a journal with pics and poundage will only get you that much closer to your goal mate.
