    Monday training in the Romanian CrossFit box. Meeting up with an Olympic Weightlifting trainer on Wednesday. His CV is, to put it mildly, impressive. Going to try and learn as much as possible. Had a great day training myself. All lifts worked really well for some reason, it all just came together with the exception of Back Squats. Felt a bit of a strain in my right glute so did not push beyond 130kg. I really want to get 170kg 1RM this year but not sure it will be possible.

    It's fair to say that yesterday's training was a bit insane. First I had my training and then a 90-minute Barbell Class with the Olympic Coach. This guy helped me more in 90-minutes with technique and such than what I have learned in the last year alone. Crazy! I just walked away, somewhat frustrated, knowing that I do not have access to this kind of coach where I am living, and I know what difference it would make.

    Foam Rolling: Thoracic (Upper Back) – 2:00
    Barbell Assisted Thoracic Opener – 2 sets of 1:00

    Deadlift 7x4 at 70kg

    COMMENT: It's fair to say all my weights got lowered which was a good thing as the Coach was quite crazy about form, as he should be. I mean, I am going to have to reset my Back Squat targets a bit as my form is now "new". Same thing with deadlifts. He was happy about presses and cleans though which is positive. All together, great class.

    I am back in India after 2-weeks of travel and sickness the two weeks prior to that and it is fair to say conditioning has suffered and so has my waistline :-) Regardless, super pumped about starting this bulk today. The last time I bulked I somewhat failed. I was not able to get enough calories in in combination with my, fairly heavy, workout schedule. This is my last chance to bulk before I have to cut in January so keeping it short, 6-8 weeks depending on sides. Nothing crazy in terms of cycle, 500mg of TEST-P/wk (On top of 200mg TEST-E I cruise on) and 500mg of NPP/wk. Since I did not eat enough during my last bulk I am taking no chances this time and will do whatever it takes to gain muscle, regardless of fat, which I doubt will be a huge problem considering my last attempt.

    My workout has been modified a bit as I need to increase my conditioning to be ready for the competition in March which also falls at the same time I am having a photoshoot. The shoot is an ad for a diet method, shall we call it. Pays well but they refuse to use Photoshop as it must be real and I am doing the before pictures in January. Convenient aye :-)

    New workout plan:
    Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday - CrossFit
    Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday - Olympic Weightlifting Technical Drills
    Thursday, Sunday - Aerobic Capacity

    The only change here is the technical drills so it should not be too harsh on the body to get used to.

    Crazy heavy rain all day as we are in the middle of the monsoon, should last another month or so but I skipped my running test. Went to my old gym and ran 5/3/1 on Deadlifts and then, as I pretty much always do, did some bicep and triceps. I will run Deadlifts and Chest in the old gym as that is something I do not get enough of in CrossFit. Had a problem, already, eating enough. Because I ate like a maniac yesterday today I am simply not very hungry. Having a few PB&J sandwiches to make up for some of the lost calories.

    My body is feeling good right now. Feels like it can take a lot and I am getting stronger. Not sure that this past month where I was not able to train as hard was necessarily a bad thing. I would have preferred not to have surgery but it forced me to rest, and now I am feeling stronger than ever. Sincerely hoping this cycle in combination with eating enough and a well-planned workout schedule will help me push through some plateaus I have. We will find out come January.

    Thursday were a fucked up day. We are at the end of the monsoon and my wife calls me up on Thursday late afternoon saying a tree fell on our car. Great. Drove in to help her with that. Because everything got a bit hectic we left my daughters bag at my wife's job. I took the scooter in to pick it up but of course hit the worlds largest pothole and almost wiped out. 2" cut right into the rim. So, two vehicles disabled in one day. I think that is enough. This morning, Saturday, my wife, and daughter headed out to see Grandma and Granpa in Upstate NY.

    I forgot to post my favorite picture from that Romanian wedding I went to. These girls showed up at 3am and it's safe to say they knew how to move.

    The second day on my new workout schedule and it felt good today. The shoulder is good enough for Push Press but ANY attempt at Overhead Squats, and in the bottom part of the Squat, my shoulder cannot take it. It's apparently not enough mobility there and that caused the small injury.

    WORKOUT

    1. Conditioning
    2 Rounds:
    400m Run
    21/15 Calorie Bike
    12 Squat Cleans @ 62kg

    2. Barbell Cycling
    2 Rounds:
    10 Power Cleans @ 80kg
    10 Front Squats @ 80kg
    10 Push Jerks @ 80kg
    Rest 2:00

    3. Double Under Practice
    AMRAP 2:
    Double Unders

    Nutrition update:

    2-weeks into a Test-P and NPP cycle and I am eating like a complete maniac. The simple thought of food at the moment makes me want to vomit so I am eating quite a bit. I am definitely gaining some fat but I really do not care right now as long as I get stronger which I am. I made this mistake before of not eating enough and wasted a cycle. My body REALLY does not want to get heavier, passing 195lb is tremendously difficult but I am determined to do so no matter what.

    Photoshoot update:

    One of the reasons I need to gain fat is because I had too much of a six pack (Ok, not by the standards of this site but for the purpose of what I am doing) and we are taking before shots on January 7. I'll post this when I take them. After that, I need to lose all the fat for the after shots and that should be sometime in March. I am doing an ad for Cryolipolysis as there is only one center in Bangalore doing it and they just got the equipment. No, I am not allowed to get free treatment :-)

    Log update:

    I am going to run a Prep Log in the Competition Section as I really need some help from the pros there this time around. Not leaving anything to chance. That will start January sometime.

    Todays Workout:

    Deadlift
    Warm-up
    5x55kg
    5x67.5kg
    5x80kg

    Main
    14x102.5kg
    8x115kg
    3x127.5

    Burnout
    5x10 @ 67.5kg

    Arms, for that aesthetic touch :-)

    Did not have time for CrossFit today so hit up the old gym and pretty much DESTROYED my legs with Squats, Presses and what not. Could not really walk out of the gym, at least not without support. Should be fun tomorrow.

    Completely expecting my legs to be dead today but I seem to not be able to GET doms ANYMORE. Must be slightly over exaggerated training with the focus on legs that CrossFit have me on. Doubt the same would be true if it was Chest.

    Very quick conditioning WoD today!

    Conditioning
    AMRAP 30:
    500 Meter Row
    400 Meter Run
    3 Rounds of “Cindy”

    1 Round of “Cindy”
    5 Pull-ups
    10 Push-ups
    15 Air Squats

    Got almost 4-rounds. Fell 25 reps short.

    I think my logic might fail me here but the reason I do not use Pre-Workouts is that it many times contain untested stuff. If I use AAS many people have used that for years and years and there is good data to show how I should respond. With pre-workout, I get the feeling that anything goes and independent testing shows that it many times contains absolute crap. Not sure this makes any sense but that is my take on it.

    Today's training:

    Deloading on my Deadlifts so it was very light. Did Arms after that and then assisted the client I have at this gym and she is already seeing some progress.

    Training is not going well at the moment or it feels like it is not going well. Shoulder is really bothering me and I am trying to work around it but it's hard when doing CrossFit to really work around things. Regardless, doing the best I can.

    1. Strict Weighted Pull-ups
    12.5kg, 5 Reps
    10kg, 4 Reps
    7.5kg, 4 Reps
    0kg 10 Reps
    0kg, 5 Reps
    0kg, 3 Reps
    *Rest as little as needed between unbroken sets

    2. Conditioning
    Ascending Ladder for 7 Minutes:
    3 Thrusters 43kg, 3 Barbell-Facing Burpees
    6 Thrusters 43kg, 6 Barbell-Facing Burpees
    9 Thrusters 43kg, 9 Barbell-Facing Burpees
    Ended at 15 Thrusters and 2 Burpees

    3. Squat Snatch Complex
    On the 1:30 x 7
    Hang Squat Snatch + Squat Snatch
    40kg, shoulder hurt so stopped after 3 Rounds. Should have changed this to Squat Cleans.
