Training Log Feb 11 - March 11 2013


Notes: For the first time in a long time I went a week w/o intermittent fasting. (March 10 - 15)
It felt good to eat breakfast in the morning, but the one workout I did do during that week went ok but I felt that my energy level was low. That could have been lack of sleep though.

Training Log Jan 28 - Feb 8th 2013



Here are my logs from Jan 28 - Feb 8th 2013. These were the fourth and fifth weeks of this cycle. So I aimed to meet my previous maxes in the 4th week. During the 5th week I actually made new PRs on Pendlay Row and Deadlift.

Note about the Feb 2 workout. I had missed my normal Friday workout so I went to a different gym location in the area where I was after guitar practice on Saturday. They had installed a rack and floor platform for use of bumper plates. So this workout was the first time I've ever used bumper plates. I was still a bit shy about all the noise I was making by dropping the weights. So I gradually worked
my way up to dropping them from higher and higher heights. By the time I got to deadlifts I really appreciated how much easier it is to just drop the weight after each lift!

Late November through mid December Workout Log


During the week of Thanksgiving I didn't do any weightlifting. I did do some cycling for about 60 miles over two
different sessions. So I was happy to see that I didn't gain any extra weight even though I ate a lot over on Thanksgiving. By mid December I started seeing my body fat percentage go back to previous levels. I guess I need to actually do some more cardio regularly if I want to get lower than 13% body fat.

Finally, In my last workout I tried a reverse pyramid scheme for my bench press. I liked the way It felt. I did 92% of my 1 rep max and ended getting 12 reps at a much lower weight. So I still felt pumped but drained afterwards.

Weight Lifting Log Oct 12 - 31, 2012



Here are my logs for the past 3 weeks or so. During the second week of October, I had worked my way up to
my previous maxes except this time I was about 5lbs lighter and my body fat has gone from mid %15 to mid %13. I even was able to set some new 1RM PRs!

During the entire 3 weeks I was pretty busy at work. So I shortened my workouts by doing fewer reps while keeping the top sets at a high percentage of my
1 rep maxes. I enjoy this type of rep scheme a lot more than the higher volume low weight work.

By the end of October I had started focusing on one or two big lifts then finishing my workout with lighter assistance work to keep the workouts short.

I felt tired, so I tested my one rep maxes!


Lately I've been having trouble sleeping a full 8 hours on the nights of my workout days because
in order to eat most of my calories post workout, I end up eating a lot right before bed.
So I'm trying to shift my eating window up a few hours to correct the problem.

This day I was feeling pretty tired from lack of sleep. So I decided to take it easy and do
low volume. I started to get some energy after my warmup and my squats. So I ended up
testing out my one rep max on overhead press, and deadlift. It looks like I hit PRs on overhead press, and weighted chinups!

Workout Graphs for the past 12 weeks

Charting my progress for the past 12 weeks




Intermittent Fasting Weeks 10 - 12


Here are my logs for the last week and a half or so. Wile still doing Intermittent Fasting I've found that if I move my carbs to pre workout, I can get some energy back and
get a few more reps on the heavy squats. Overall I've been going easy on the squats/deads because I have some weird soreness in my lower core/rear waist area. Its getting better but really slowly. Squats and dead lifts feel fine when I'm in the gym though. So I'm not sure if I should be worried or not.

I've still managed to increase the weight in pull-ups and dips. I even managed to get 17 pull-ups at body weight, which I think is a PR for me.

I also think I've hit the point where I won't loose anymore fat doing Intermittent Fasting unless I change my diet more or add cardio. My short term goal is still to get to %12
but my higher priority goal is still to gain strength and muscle.

Intermittent Fasting Workout week 9 d1 - w10 d1



During the past few workouts, I reached my transition point moving from a goal of
doing 5 sets of 5 reps to 3 sets of 5 reps. So the weights are starting to get heavy again.
Since I'm fasting and having only a small amount of calories pre-workout,
I found that I was runing out of energy (glycogen) and I could not get the desired 5 reps
on squats. So in the next workout that included deadlifts I made sure to eat my carbs a few hours
before working out. That seemed to make a difference and I was able to get more reps in.
Now I'm going to stick with squats at 305 until I feel comfortable that my form
is good again, before increasing the weight.

Intermediate Fasting Plan week 8


I'm feeling good being back to working out in the 5 rep range. I feel like the time I spent working out
at the higher rep ranges has helped my endurance/recovery between sets. So far I've still been able to keep the
rest between sets at about 1min 30 seconds. I'm feeling pretty strong too I won't know for sure until I work back up to
my previous maxes.

Its been a few weeks since my last posts. I keep all of my logs on my phone and I had to restore my phone and I ended up loosing a weeks worth of logs.

Intermittent Fasting Workout week 3 - 4


Here are my last three workout logs.
In the first workout I was trying to find out what weight to use as the max weight for
15 rep squats and over head presses.

In general I'm doing a 2 week 15 rep phase.
as part of a longer term plan to split 6-8 weeks of training into 15,10,5, and 3 rep
phases.

I'm slowly adjusting to doing 15 reps. It feels like there is a huge jump
between doing 10 reps vs doing 15 reps.

Trying out Intermittent Fasting


So I had been doing some reading about Intermittent Fasting as described on the  the leangains (http://www.leangains.com)  blog. I decided to give it a try to get my bodyfat back down from %16 to %12 as my first goal. I started by doing the 16 hour fast with an 8 hour feeding window.

In my first few workouts the thing that I noticed was that I could lift the same amount of weight, but I did not have the energy to do as many reps at that same weight.

In about a week and a half I lost about 1.2% of my bodyfat. However, I seem to be able to gain that back in a day or so of eating too many calories. I'm continuing to tweak my diet to try to get enough protein on workout days, and not over eat on non workout days.
