I’ve been trying to lift once a week, run once or twice, and go to boxing twice a week.

I’m the most well rounded I’ve ever been although some areas do need improvement.

My big lifts are..

Bench press - 170 lbs for 2 reps or 155 for 5 reps

ATG squat - 155 for 5 reps

Deadlift - 155 for 6 reps

- I havn’t tested my mile time in awhile although I’m positive I could run below 8 min 30 second mile.

- I’ve been boxing with a trainer (which makes a BIG difference) for 4 months, and I’ve seen big improvements in my muscular endurance, and some good improvement in my technique.

My lifts are about as solid as they’ve ever been.  I just wish they were stronger..

My goal will probably be to

Bench  - 155 for 8 reps

AGT Squat  - 165 for 8 reps

Deadlift - 165 for 8 reps

I’m also in the process of building up my legs, since I’ve been running more I eased up on squats and deadlifts and now I’ve ended up with chicken legs.  Hopefully I can improve on that by the summer!

Boxing routine - 40 sit ups, 10 leg raises W/assit. 5 leg raises without,

5 rounds shadow boxing, 5 rounds punching bag

2 - 3 rounds hand targets with Coach

3 - 4 rounds speed bag

2 rounds jump rope

Goal - to weight 175 pounds by April 1st (Only 5 pounds so not too hard)

 Off the top I STILL weigh around 170 lbs so that part of my training hasn’t gone to well.. but there IS a reason.  I’ve been running miles, and sprinting.  So even though my strength has increased a great deal, my weight has stayed the same.

 I guess from a functional point of view thats actually great, but I was hopeing by now to atleast have added a few pounds.

My bench at the moment is 155 pounds for 6 reps.  (Just did that today) - I"m usually able to add ONE rep each week or atleast every two weeks to my bench.. and afterawhile I add about 10 more pounds to the bench.

My pull ups have gotten alot stronger.. whereas I might have only did 4 or 6 pull ups before NOW I can do 3 sets of pull ups with 5 pounds extra hanging from my belt each set 9 - 5 reps

My max pull ups (Good form always) is 15 reps.

 I’ve added some size and definition it looks like although my weight has stayed the same so I’m happy about that.

 - All around I’m in alot better shape than I was this time last year

 Only issues is today I had to wake up early after getting off of work and basically I couldn’t eat breakfast (very bad)  I’m hopeing I made up the calories during the day however.

 Also I need to be better about taking my suppliments on time and regularly. 

 I just need to keep in mind that the end results are worth it and that I’m making progress with my training I just need to build the size to show it

I recently added Regular Deadlifts to my routine to hopefully pack on some size.. since I just started doing them I started at 115 LBS but I plan to take it up to 125 lbs by next week since I’m already stiff legged deadlifting 165 lbs for reps. 

 My diet still needs work but I’m doing better with more protien shakes, boiled eggs, tuna, milk and so on.  I hope by may 6th I finally reach 175 pounds.  Once I do that I plan to begin taking creatine.

 Tonight I sat down and realized I really need to improve for this summer put on some weight and make that damn 175 lbs goal by april 20th I’ve got only a few more days.. Honestly I don’t expect to be 175 on the nose because it would be unhealthy to gain that much weight so fast (6 lbs in 6 days)  even for my skinny frame but I do expect to be well on my way and to have improved my diet even more.   I will make this goal!

Peace

 Also I’m going to weigh myself probably monday on a very accurate scale to see how much I can gain!  I’ve lost a few pounds due to my martial arts training.. alot of running for endurance and a good share of sparring.  Now I want to gain back the pounds I lost training and add weight to my body while maintaining my wind/endurance/speed and overall sparring ability.. It wont be easy but few things worth while are..!
