German NLP - Log

[Chris93]

Could keep the NLP this week, too.
So next week starts with:

Bodyweight: 165 lbs (75 kg)

Squat: 270 lbs (122,5 kg)
Bench: 179 lbs (81 kg)
Press: 116 lbs (52,5 kg)
Deadlift: 298 lbs (135 kg)

[Chris93]

Had a stressfull week (study for my Bachelor degree next to regular 40h workweek), so I had only 1 training session.

Next week will start with the following:

Squat: 276 lbs (125 kg)
Bench: 179 lbs (81 kg)
Press: 116 lbs (52,5 kg)
Deadlift: 303 lbs (137,5 kg)

[Chris93]

Last week I made 2 major changes.

1) I lost depth in the squat so I jumped back a few pounds and work back up.

2) I felt like I would hit a plateu soon. So I decided to increase my calories. Aiming at 4.000 kcal now, from mainly „good“ food. This should increase my bodyweight a lot quicker.

So this week will start with:

Bodyweight: 169 lbs (76,5 kg)

Squat: 265 lbs (120 kg)
Bench: 182 lbs (82,5 kg)
Press: 116 lbs (52,5 kg)
Deadlift: 309 lbs (140 kg) - first time 3 plates Yeahh

[Chris93]

Last week went relativly good. Squat and Deadlift went up but I missed some reps on the Bench and the Press.
Bodyweight ist going up constantly and the 4.000 kcal seem to work good.

If the Benchpress and Press dont go up next week I will increase kcal again.

This week starts as follows:

Bodyweight: 171 lbs (77,5 kg)

Squat: 276 lbs (125 kg)
Bench: 182 lbs (82,5 kg)
Press: 116 lbs (52,5 kg)
Deadlift: 314 lbs (142,5 kg)

[Chris93]

This week I could not do all reps in the Press and the Benchpress, again. Don‘t know why. Maybe my form on the press is not the best, I quess I need to get that checked.
Pretty sure my Brnchpress is ok and I only missed the last rep of the last set. Gonna try it again next week and surely make it.

Anyway the Squat and Deadlift went up even if the squat got pretty much of a grind for every rep.

Bodyweight ist going up too. So I will keep the 4000 kcal.

Next week starts with the following:

Bodyweight: 173 lbs (78,5 kg)

Squat: 287 lbs (130 kg)
Bench: 182 lbs (82,5 kg)
Press: 99 lbs (45 kg) - going back to improve form and increase weight with smaller steps
Deadlift: 314 lbs (142,5 kg)

This week was a bad week Could train only on monday because after that I had some pain under my left collarbone. Felt a little like an inflammation. Not sure what it was, had pain while breathing... maybe I just got it from the freezing cold here in Germany. (We have -8*C right now).
Whatever, it is gone now and I will start training again on monday.

For next week I plan to start with:

Squat: 289 lbs (130 kg)
Bench: 176 lbs (80 kg)
Press: 101 lbs (46 kg)
Deadlift: 320 lbs (145 kg)

I also plan to start with „Power cleans“. Wanna try them next sunday, when the gym is not super crowded, so that I can concentrate and get the movement right.

[Chris93]

The shoulder still hurts a bit but I can train with it.
Had only two sessions this week because the lessons for my Bachelor degree started again on 3 days after work every week. I guess I have to plan workouts better, so that I manage to get 3 every week.

This week starts with:

Bodyweight: 176 lbs (80 kg)

Squat: 292 lbs (132,5 kg)
Bench: 176 lbs (81 kg)
Press: 105 lbs (47,5 kg)
Deadlift: 325 lbs (147,5 kg)

I decided not to start with the power cleans till my shoulder feels better.
