I seem to have reached a plateau in both the weight im gaining on the bar aswell as on my physique. Training is becoming boring due to the same old day in day out im stronger than when i started and still gaining slightly but not as much as i would like to. Due to this fact i have decided to start cycling my heavy training in with a 100 rep training program that i researched up on this will mean that i am able to keep my training more interesting as well as the added bonus of all the advantages that 100 rep training is supposed to achieve. I believe that doing this type of cycling should mean that i am able to continue to make the gains i would like to meaning that my cycling program would look as follows:
12 weeks heavy training
2 weeks 100 rep training
4 weeks heavy training
2 weeks 100 rep training
4 weeks heavy training
2 weeks 100 rep training
then repeat the cycle. As i have already done the 12 weeks of heavy training starting next week i will be starting the first week of my 100 rep training.

So 2 months into the training of the new year and the training is going well. Trying a new powerbodybuilding routine which with a bit of reasearch and looking into different training styles i found what worked best for me and designed myself. I have made the best gains both in weight on my physique and on the bar with this program and would recommend it to anyone who likes training hard.

At the moment i only seem to be able to get about 4 proper meals in in a day, i am able to take in the mandatory 4 shakes that i need (upon waking, pre+post workout, just before bed). i would like to increase this to 6 meals a day and just try to fit them in as it would means that i would be able to get in more protein and carbs throughout the day therefore ensuring that i am recovering properly and obtaining enough nutrients for growth. Water seems to be one of the things that i really need to work on as i seem to only be taking in about 3 litres a day.

Really pleased with my deadlift at this stage as it seems to be the lift in which i am the strongest in, as i am focusing on the 3 main lifts to increase in strength and by doing so increasing size my targets for the end of the year if i continue to gain as im doing are as follows:
Bench Press: 150 kg (330 pound)
Squat: 180 kg (400 pound)
Deadlift: 210 kg (460 pound)
If at the end of the year i have reached these targets i will be exceptionally pleased and continue the year after to try gain at a similar rate but that is ages away so will have to see how it goes.

Same as most people i started the year saying i was going to gym hard and bulk up…and i did…in phases.In 2007 i have been as heavy as 190 and stayed at a bodyfat of 12%, but at the end of the year i am at 177.4 and still at 12%. So this year i am making a statement - I will be stringent with my training and diet. I will add lean muscle to a final target of hopefully 200 pound by the end of the year if not mid year while staying at the same bodyfat. Noting will get in my way or distract me. I will get the physique that i want.

To do this i am making plans this week to start at the gym 31st of December 2007 and continue to 31st of december 2008, training with a mass building program made by myself using ideas gathered from other peoples opinons and training methods (to be posted later), doing cardio 30 minutes at least 3 x a week, a new diet and supplementing program (to be posted later), to be strict with all aspects of my change in lifestyle and the only thing to keep me from sticking to them is severe illness.

After being away from training for 2 months having to recover from ligament damage to my knee and damage to my shoulder I am just getting back into my regime again. Weights are feeling exceptionally heavy at the moment but hoping that things will become easier soon and will start to see gains coming again!At the moment im at 178 pounds at about 16% bodyfat and the long term aim is to get to 200-225 pounds at 9% bodyfat so have a long way to go!
