    Following the nurtition advice in the above article, I will be adding calories linearly.

    In my case, if my bodyweight doesnt increase in one week (using 2-3x weekly measurements and a 'trend line') then I will add 1 glass of whole milk to my diet.

    I've started today with 1 glass in the morning. It's about 325 calories per glass.

    Also, following the advice from Jordan and other users I'm ditching AMRAPs for now.

    I'm sticking with a GSLP A/B setup as it saves workout time, allows extra recovery, more flexibility etc but I'm going to step up the progression.

    Sticking with 3x5 (no amrap) with faster increases on weights until I hit a few resets. Along with 'linear progression bulking' this should suit me for a little while. Adding 2.5kg to all lifts, 5kg to deads, until resetting then slowing progressions down a bit.

    After this 'Greyskull SS Variant Program' I'll probs move to GSLP or TM for intermediate work.

    I'd love to have a 150kg squat, 100kg bench and 180kg deadlift before that though! Not sure how achievable that is yet though!

    How big are your glasses of milk or is that the milk with the cream still on top? Pura milk here is only about 160kcal/ 250mL.

    Hey, about 400ml cravendale whole milk so about 260 cals.

    Will probably be adding a 2nd glass next week.

    Was going to lift and weigh myself yesterday but was so beat up from work decided to rest up instead. Hopefully lifting today.

    FitNotes Workout - Monday 27th March 2017

    Currently the heaviest I've been for a long time. 95.2kg. I put it down to this weekends over-indulging!

    Second try at 50kg press today.
    Went at last set like a sprint. Suddenly everything felt solid and tight. Could have got one more maybe but form would have been shite!

    Today has been a day of injuries so doing deadlifts with caution.

    I had a metal bar fall on my head, and I feel on my knees at one point and hurt my back a bit.

    Deads felt heavy as fuck.

    Two sets of chins and called it quits.

    ** Bodyweight **

    FitNotes Workout - Wednesday 29th March 2017

    Wrists aching in the bench warmups. In fact bench felt REALLY heavy today, which is mental since I got 9 reps with it last time.

    Think my wrists arent staying straight during the bench, theyre leaning back.

    Can't remember if I got 7 or 8 bench reps.

    Felt weak / running out of time so called squats at the heavy warmup point.. will be resetting these next workout. Back to 107.5kg I think.

    Deffo feeling fatigued and can't figure out why atm. I'm eating about the same as I was before starting my new job, if not a bit more some days, and my daily activity / workload has at least halved in the past two weeks.

    ** Bodyweight **
    - 0 reps

    ** Flat Barbell Bench Press **
    - 71.25 kgs x 5 reps
    - 71.25 kgs x 5 reps
    - 71.25 kgs x 7 reps [PR]

    ** Barbell Squat **
    - 110.0 kgs x 2 reps

    ** Chin Up **
    - 12 reps
    - 6 reps
