Bodyfat



I wonder how accurate those bodyfat measuring tools are, did some simple calculation with an online calculator and got this:

Estimate #1 based on height and weight
Your "Ponderal Index" is 12.98 which gives an estimated body
fat of 13.9% (22.9 pounds of fat)
Estimate #2 based on waist size and weight
Estimated body fat of 11.3% (18.7 pounds of fat)

Not sure how accurate it is, it feels accurate, but then again, it only used my height, weight and waist girth in the calculations. The reason I'm wondering is that I'm not sure whether I still wanna bulk or start cutting some for the summer :) Bulking obviously starts again after summer. Guess I'll start doing some moderate cardio on offdays next month or something, if nothing else my overall health will get better.

Spring

I can confirm spring is here for real, nice nice. My new workout is kind of fun since well, more variety because it's a 4 split, it's a lot heavier aswell, not sure if it's a good or bad thing, i barely feel recovered after one off-day. Guess my body will get used to it in a few weeks.

Change of workout



Decided to change my workout today, it's a 4 day split with 3 days a week. It goes something like this Mon#1 Wed#2 Fri#3.....Mon#4 Wed#1 Fri#2 etc. It's more focused on isolation moves than compound and a little more focused on the upper body than the lower, quite the opposite from my previous workout in every aspect in other words. Started with the #2 today since it didn't involve anything back or legwise, my legs and back were still sore as fuck from my previous workout so. Oh right, here's the workout:

1.
Squats 3 x 5, 1 x 10
Ham Work 3 x 8-10
Pullups 20-40 reps
BB Rows 4 x 6 (Gonna do DB rows personally)
Curls 2 x 10

2.
DB or Incline Bench 2 x 5, 2 x 8
Dips 2 x 8
DB OH Press 3 x 8
Side Laterals 2 x 10
Skulls 2 x 10

3.
Deadlifts 2-3 x 5
Leg Press 2 x 10 or 1 x 20
Chins 20-40 reps
DB Rows 3 x 8
Curls 2 x 10

4.
Bench Press 2 x 5, 2 x 8
DB Flyes 2 x 8-12
Military Press 3 x 8
Side Laterals 2 x 10
Skulls 2 x 10

Daylight Slaving

Just came home from the gym, morning ftw, no crowd and I got generally more energy in the morning. Even though today i felt a bit lazy, skipped hyperextensions and situps :|. But you are allowed to do that when you got deadlift pass, IMO. Some pics for my own archives. Speaking of which, need to get my bodyfat % lower before beach 2011 :)

ok

SuP!

Started again with meh bulking, shit is going fucking GREAT, everything's awesome, spring is almost here, I'm feeling good. Shit's good! Had some beers with my uncle tonight and his wife/gf/we and his son was interested in starting gym and shizzle, so i told him some tips and shit, what to do and what to avoid. Prolly giving him some introductory shizzle at his gym next week. Also gave him my SS workout schedule, works magic on newbies! Other than that, life is good and all that GOOD JAZZ (day9).

PS. Fuck this is good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHb0phCLiOA

Snap back to reality

Came back home yesterday, after a lovely ~20h train trip. Feels like someone has been hitting me with a baseball bat for orr 20 hours, that's how comfortable the "beds" are in the train. On top of that i apparently catched some kind of stomach virus since I'm feeling nauseous and almost throwing up stuff all the time. School won't start until next week luckily if this virus persists, I guess I won't start with gym until next week either. Something positive aswell, feels awesome to be home and get back to the routine, the trip have been so exhausting, especially for my liver :| Waiting for spring already, rainy +3c at the moment in Göteborg, from -30c at worst to this is something I welcome. Hoping for +20c in march already. Gonna lie down a bit now see if i get better before the evening so I can actually do something today.

Hoohoo


Seems like there's basically just one or two weeks school left and then xmas break, feels good. Not sure whether I'm going up north the 26th December, even though I already booked and paid for the tickets. It's only 600kr anyways so. The reason for this is somewhat private and I'd like to keep it that way since the matter is quite sensitive in a way, but yeah. We'll see. Gym is going bad, or well was pretty terrible yesterday atleast, felt like I couldn't perform even at 80% of my normal level properly and felt light-headed and whatnot. Analyzing the day now afterwards, I've come to the conclusion that it had mostly to do with the fact that I hadn't been eating properly that day and the fact that I've been trying to cut down some lately, my weight that is. From 80kg to 76kg in just 2 weeks or so, bodyfat gone down some aswell, which is the goal with the cutting. Other than that, everything's just peachy and feels good that xmas break's just 'round the corner!
