Kronik's stength gain/fat loss progress log

[kronik420]

so got into the gym yesterday and started a 5x5 workout.. didn't plan on it.. just kinda went in and decided to start. i've lost a lota strength the past year so just trying to get it back.. i was squatting 150kg for reps, now i struggle with 120kg...grr..

goals: gain strength and fat loss, more concerned with strength gains tbh..

going with Medhi's strongman lifts program, but gonna add in a couple sets of bicep/tricep HIT exercises to the end of each workout.. arms are lagging... as for diet, i won't be counting calories as this hasn't worked for me in the past... can only last a day or 2 of restricting calories... but diet will consist of only meat and veggies, minimal fruit, and only drinking water.. plus cardio a few days/week.. plan on starting another cycle March/April, test/deca .

+ close grip bench press and cable pull downs HIT style 1 working set of each

You need to think about throwing fats in there too bro.. You will have a harder time with this diet change without adding fats.. GrassFed butter, Lite Olive Oil(If cooking) Extra Virgin Olive Oil is for salads, and coconut oil.. Will really help with your energy levels.. Minimal fruits is ok, however if that is the case, you definitely need to add more fats, like a lot more.. Hoping you are watching your sugar consumption too, if you are deleting it that is great, however check your labels as sugar is in almost everything....

Good Luck! If you need any assistance, let me know, I know quite a bit about this thing we call dieting..

but diet will consist of only meat and veggies, minimal fruit, and only drinking water..

Great job, Kronik. Very motivating. Way to hammer the squats. Increasing 25kg in one month is impressive.

Make sure you keep eating enough to fuel those workouts and build muscle. Getting the diet right and then maintaining it consistently is the hardest part.

Keep killin it!
