@Frogger nice work man. You’re doing a killer job. Keep after it.
Approved Log My First Log - Cleaning Up and Locking In Before Blast Off
- Thread starter Frogger
- Start date
Last night's session as I ate and went to bed before writing it up yesterday
Legs + core
Cardio - incline steps again ranging from 6-9% incline
Leg press - relatively low weight and high volume because I wanted to to a pressing movement but also don't want to risk making the hernia worse while I wait for a surgery date
15x40kg
15x120kg - 4 identical sets
10x120kg
10 static lunges on each leg to burn the quads out a little more
Incline sit ups +15kg plate on the chest
3 sets of 10
Laying hamstring curl - cut this short a bit because something about the machine made my knees feel really bad. Strange because I've used almost identical machines before without any issue
15x46kg
10x76kg
End of session
Rest day today and then back in the gym for some chest + tri on Good Friday

when you do legs you gotta do a quad shot bro EVO family loves them @Frogger
My quads are hairy and underdeveloped but I'll grab one next time
maybe they awesome bro
Hey guys, been a little while. I had some long term personal/family issues come to a boil last week which lead to some insomnia while I was losing sleep over not being able to make people have the conversations that needed to happen. I can't say the issues are solved at their core, but I finally made the conversations happen and I'm no longer losing sleep over it. Pair that with night shift and a killer toothache this week that I'm waiting to get into a dentist for and my personal accountability has gone to shit temporarily.
I'm not up to speed with the sydney city supplements as we hadn't spoken in a bit but fortunately I hadn't received any gear that wasn't fully paid for so that's taken some potential mess out of the situation. Hopefully that whole thing gets worked out because his gear has been incredibly smooth for me. The very small amount of tenderness I'd come to expect off inch deep pins over the past couple of years, thinking it was from the needle itself, is nonexistent when I use his stuff. I'm thinking it has to be a difference in carrier oil or something to what I have used before so if anyone knows what he uses it'd be great if they could pass it on.
I'm still getting in the gym and eating clean with high protein, but I can't guarantee I'll be updating as frequently as I should be. If one of the mods feels the need to remove the approved log tag for now until things are back to where they should be I won't have a problem with that.

@Frogger sorry to hear about your personal issues, hope you get them resolved. What are you taking as sleep aids?
You should change sponsors for your log and keep going, it will make you feel in check and dedicated to getting your life back in order.
I have melatonin but I try to use that sparingly to avoid developing a psychological dependency on sleep aids.
As for sponsors, at the moment I'm planning on using the gear I already have (I don't believe any is from current Evo suppliers) rather than making a deal that I may fall short on. If I purchase more from a board member I'll definitely mention my experience with their products here.
sleep aids I'm thinking more magnesium, zinc, valerian root, melatonin, thats not a problem for you right?
I should have mentioned those others because I have everything you mentioned as well. I'm not worried about any physical effects, I just don't want them all to become a part of my normal sleep routine. It's probably an unfounded concern, but I have heard of people developing a psychological dependance on melatonin.
If you're worried about being addicted to zinc or valerian root, I wouldn't be, that's not a reasonable worry. @Frogger
Quick workout log from late last night. I've been in the gym a few times since I last updated but I hadn't logged my lifts.
Soon to be officially signing on with @KAOS Anabolics who has been a well known name in the Aussie scene since before I knew anything about gear.
1km run as a warmup (had also just come from work so I wasn't fresh and full of energy)
Dumbbell bench press
10x30kg
10x45kg
10x40kg
10x40kg
Low pulley cable crossover
10x7.5kg
10x12.5kg - having not spent a lot of time in the gym lately, this made my front delts really tight so I had to stretch them out for a good five minutes before continuing
10x10kg
Tricep pushdown narrow grip on a short EZ bar
20x25kg
15x35kg
15x35kg
Tried to finish on some dips but the base of my left thumb wasn't happy with the pressure, a mix of repetitive strain from work and from the DB bench earlier in the night.
Wide grip push ups - I had actually meant to do these as a warmup and I only remembered once I was looking for an alternative exercise to finish off

Not a balls to the wall session by any means, but it did its job and I can feel the muscles worked now that it's the next morning. Back and biceps session tonight.
Feels good to be back in the gym

@Frogger, as you've been training more, I'd like to see pic udpates end of week lets see how strong your base is now, I think you are improving well
Definitely a lot more blown out around the mid section as that area fills out with water and fat first when my calories come up. Not sure on our plans for the evening yet but tonight is either a rest day or shoulders/abs and I'll get a good pump on for that if I head in.@Frogger, as you've been training more, I'd like to see pic udpates end of week lets see how strong your base is now, I think you are improving well
I got in for the back/bicep session last night. Performance wasn't the best and I got called home a bit early to help give a pet some medicine, but I'll hit biceps and upper back with supersets when I'm doing shoulders next.
@Frogger amazing job on this man. I love the tricep push downs and the wide grips.
@Frogger Bro, you a true champion on this The workouts look, fantastic. Keep it up.
Not too far behind me on that dumbbell bench
I don't think I'll catch up any time soon. The 50's are the limit of what I feel I can get into position at the moment
@Frogger Bros. Solid job on this. Lots of good exercises. I like the different grips you're doing.
