*weight in lbs of course

Felt low in energy. May thats due to the limited calories? .....
Yeah, today is my last FAMINE day. Iam looking forward to refeed on protein. All the good eggs, meet, fish and cheese. And Iam excited to workout on upcoming monday. I will shoot photos.

My seven month old boy seems to get his first tooth. Iam very excited. But it also means short nights at the moment. Anyway, I have a really supportive girlfriend, which allows me to still work out regularly.

Here is my first HIT Workout (06-11-2012):

A1) Bench Press 11x154 lbs

A2) Pull Overs 10x53 lbs

B1) Squats 10x198 lbs

B2) SL Deadlift 9x242 lbs

Unfortunately, I had forgetten my mobilephone (I usually train without), so there are no pics. Next session .


My calorie intake was about 3900 kcal (excel said 3812 is the goal ).
This morning I added a Kettlebell and BW-HIIT workout at home. Now its time to rest (active recovery = mobilty, foam rolling, walking) and GROW!!!

Sorry Guys - busy time !

But here is my second HIT workout:

A1) Bench Press 5x 87,5Kg (193lbs)
A2) DB Pull-Over 6x 29Kg (64lbs)

B1) Squat 4x 135Kg (298lbs)
See the video --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USOQS0mtXCk&feature=plcp
B2) SL Deadlift 6x 140 Kg (308lbs)

3rd Workout tomorrow - going for 3x140 kg Squat and 3x95 Bench!

Nice squats!

Thanks man!

Training yesterday:

A1) Bench Press 2x 95 Kg (209 lbs)
A2) DB Pull-Over 3x 34Kg (75lbs)

B1) Squat 2x 145Kg (320lbs)
B2) SL Deadlift 3x 150 Kg (330lbs)

Didn´t felt that good. Numbers are OK but I think I need the deload training now .
Also missing Synthagen - German Customs still keep it because they want to check all the ingredients... I hope I will get it next week.

im new to BP too....how you liking it so far? it looks like you already beat your PR on the squat....thats good money

Hey BP-Army,

Iam sorry, my notebook was damaged. Now it has returned. Iam still running and now in the pre competition phase. As I pointed out, Iam on the Jim Wendler Pre-Comp program.

So at the moment I do the 3-5-1 (usually 5-3-1) with additional singles @ 85% and 92,5% of my meet goal. This week starts awesome. I feel great. The squat @ 145 kg felt "easy" and also the bench press yesterday with 100 kg works realtive easy. Inparticular my form was very good. I had more weight in the tank, defnitly! I will keep you updated.

By the way, the German Customs didn´t allow me to import Synthagen. They send it back to the US. Iam talking to lawyer because they didn´t provide any reason to me. The ingredients are no illegal. I will see .

Stay tuned and train hard(er)!

Welcome to the army Jay!

Yes my PR was 1x145 kg. At my first meet I only finisched with 125 Kg and missed 135 Kg two times. Iam stronger now !

Here are two videos from two weeks ago. My last DL-Session. It was not a good day as you can see:

3x 145 KG Sumo:

1x 162,5 Kg Sumo:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1s0x_is20I&feature=plcp

As you can see the last attempt was bad technique. Instead of Iam pulling the weight it seems that the weight pulled me. I have to incorparate the tps of Rob: deficite DL as well as speed work because the bottom position is defnitly my week point. Till now Ive never missed a lockout.

i just watched ur vids. i feel like if i can get a german guy to yell at me during my workouts it'll make every lift go up by like 10%. that def needs to be my next step
