I've decided to start a blog in order to track my progress and keep myself motivated. So here goes.

A little bit about me.
I'm 20 years old
Weigh about 74kg
I'm about 5ft10.
Not sure about my bodyfat%, as a scanner recently said 14%, but measurements state closer to 10.5%.

I've been training for about 10 months now, and have made some good gains. I originally weighed around 63kg so I have put on around 11kg. I'm trying to bulk up and gain lean muscle mass, which I find very difficult possibly due to me being diabetic along with having an extremely fast metabolism. I don't easily put weight on at all, be it muscle or fat, although the gains I have made have all been lean.

Anyway, I intend to log my measurements and workouts often on here, and hope to benefit from your input.

I'll log yesterdays workout in a moment, which was back and triceps, and also my usual diet.

6"Box Squats 1s 120Kg ; 5s 170Kg Managed to maintain my arch throughout today and oh my! Joshua felt it in the glutes and lower back.
SLDL 5s 120Kg These were just to fry off my lower back which was already sizzling somewhat.

Jacuzzi 60min This relaxed my lower back a fair bit.
PShake (50g P)

Gym Critique & Reflection
Gym was extremely busy today, humidity was very high and I found myself getting a little irritable.
Failed to do ZSquats or LegExtension because waiting times were doing my nut in.
Failed to do cardio due to laziness

I have been zapped so many times today, I feel like a San Quentin inmate, who was scheduled to meet his maker, but has suffered at the hands of an incompetant executioner.

I may introduce a new protocol throughout the night of a very low intensity pulse throughout the big muscle groups (quads and back). I will see how it goes.

Diet
High Protein, Low Carbs, Low Fat
Supps: as before, no MT2
BCAA: at 20g.hr-1

Sleep
Volume: Very high 8hr + 5hr in naps
Quality: Poor
Phase: +4hr

Biometrics
Libido: Low to medium
Mood: Edgy & Moody
Fatigue: High
EPOC & Training Effect: HR Monitor battery failed so no logging.
Other: My definition and pump in my lower back was monstrous:bounce:, even if I do say so myself.

Dips 1s TBM+50Kg ; 3s TBM+77.5Kg ; 0s TBM+80Kg Tried to hit the TBM+80Kg but couldn't get back up
Arnies 4s 47.5Kg Forearm was a little wobbly during these.
CableLatRaises 5s 25Kg
HighCableCross 6s 45Kg

Jacuzzi 45min

I felt quite tired in the gym inspite of the low volume.
Even though I failed to hit the TBM+80Kg I was still happy. Reps were higher on the prior sets.
I failed to have my PShake postworkout, but consumed a large clean solid meal when I arrived home.

EMS protocols are firming up now, I am getting more competent at motor point location and it is going well. I will be getting a new range of electrodes soon which should improve placement and keeping them in place.

Diet
High Protein, Low carbs, Low fat. Compliance was good.
Supps as before.
BCAA during workout at 20g.hr-1

Sleep
Volume: 9hr + 4hr in naps

Still feeling quite tired and lethargic.

Biometrics
