My last few blogs have been centred around topics outside of my own training so now I thought it would be a good time to touch base on my progress, as much has changed!!
Ok so Ive been back into serious training for about 6 solid weeks now and everything is going brilliantly. My plan of attack is working and my new diet and training program from my new coach is working well. I am making some very solid gains and I have already seen some extra size added to my main areas of focus.
I have also set my new goals and also planned what comps I will be competing in next!!

Body weight is at 110kg and that's on an empty stomach, I am definitely feeling strong! My current training split is as follows.
Saturday - Chest & Calves
Sunday - Arms
Monday Off
Tuesday - Back & Abdominals
Wednesday - Shoulders & Calves
Thursday - Legs
Friday - Off
This routine is working great for both me and my training partner. My workouts are very focused and in each session I have a plan off attack. I record every session, each rep and every weight we lift, the following week my job is to perform either more reps or more weight on all given exercises. I never compromise form in order to increase the weight however if my training and diet is working as planned I should in theory be able to lift more and more on a weekly basis, up to now I have been upping the weights weekly keeping my form which is great!
My diet at the moment is high in both proteins and carbohydrates and my coach recently instructed me to adjust my carb intake to actually increase them even more. I have added an extra 60grams of good fats to my diet in the form of Flaxseed oil also. Mass Nutrition have of course supplied me with all the supps I need however I typically only use a Whey Protein Isolate in the form of ON Whey Powder and I also use Gen-Tec Pure Carbs. I sometimes use a Pre Workout and I will mix this around and try the new ones that seem to appear on a weekly basis but I don't like to have too many stims. I use Universal Aminos and I also use Animal Pak as a daily Multi.
Currently I am eating 7 meals a day, this is because my job as personal trainer sees me starting work very early so my first meal is in me by 5:30am and my last meal is just before bed at about 10:00pm. I eat every 2.5 hours and for me I make eating my full time job, nothing comes before my food, I plan my day around when I need to eat because all my mentors and trainers drilled into me that food and a consistent diet is the key, so for me my nutrition comes first, always!
James!
