I have been training on and off for a while, so am fairly aquainted with the iron lifestyle.
Anyway, my aim, as my title says, is to get fucking HENCH without any needless restriction, which is why I placed my log under general training - I don't need any really stringent routines or guidelines to get where I want.
And i've decided that I don't even like squatting that much, which is why i'm going to cut back and do it 'every other day'.
I will train what I want, when I want and will use more than 3-4 exercises.
My primary aim is to develop a balanced muscular, athletic, fit physqiue with raw strength, power and explosivenss whilst keeping my bodyfat between 10-15% at all times.
That's why i'm going to focus on the big lifts, plyos and HIIT.
That being said, I do enjoy loading up on No2 and blasting my pecs from time to time so EZ bars and cables are not entirely out of the question.
Stats:

Just over 80kg

It's 1:30am and i've been training for five days in a row yet i'm still full of energy. So much in fact that I just decided to do some push ups.
70 push ups.
Not bad considering I trained chest this afternoon and on Saturday. I'm going to leave it at that though, want to serve some energy as I might do some dead lifting tomorrow.
Though I think I may go for a walk/run around the block right now.

Today:
Came across this thing on another site called the 'dead lift challenge' where a user posted a video of themselves dead-lifting at 80kg for as many times as they could and challenged people to beat it. Thought I might give it a shot:
Did two warm up sets -
40kg 1x8
60kg 1x5
I managed 80kg for a grand total of 22 reps. I didn't beat the challengers 36 reps, but they were bigger than me and looked like they had been training a while (This is assuming they were natural) so I didn't care.
It was touch and go, but the person in the video used the same style.
I was still extremely pleased with my reps and looking around the gym people were taken a back, I even caught the eye of one the hot personal trainers.
Though I am a little annoyed about doing the warm up. If I hadn't I could've definitely squeezed out a few more working reps.
Took a ten minute breather cause I thought I would pass out, then thought I might as well test my chin and dip maxes at bodyweight while i'm there.
Managed 13 strict chin ups.
21 dips, but only after a few 'warm up' sets. I don't know why but my dips always suck on the first few sets. And then suddenly I will manage twice as many. Weird, I never have this problem with chins.
Might try out my pull up max next time i'm at the gym.
Finished off with some bicep curls.
All in all, a good work out. I am extremely pleased with my progress.
