Ok, I decided once a month in order to chart my progression (mainly in strength and fitness) I will write out some data on my training (1RMs and such). Should make for interesting viewing across the course of the year for me. This month has been the start of daily sessions in the gym and creatine supplementation. Currently I rotate upper, core and lower monday-friday with movement training on weekends. In addition, some skill work is done on tuesday and wednesday in gymnastics facilities and cardio fitness in the form of running, swimming or cycling is also added in when possible.
Physical stats:
Age: 17
Height: 6 ft 1 1/2 - 187cm (aprox.)
Weight: 12st 0lb - 76kg
Bodyfat: 12.0% (US Navy method)
Strength:
Back Squat 2RM: BW + 110kg (1RM attempt at 115kg failed)
Deadlift 1RM: 90kg (from many months ago before my back problems)
Barbell bench 2RM: 80kg (1RM attempt at 85kg failed)
1 arm dumbbell preacher curl 1RM: 12.5kg
2 arm dumbbell shoulder press 1RM: 25kg per arm
Barbell shoulder press 1RM: 50kg
Weighted chin 3RM: 25kg (need a stronger rucksack to find 1RM!)
Cardio:
I haven't had the chance to define my measures of this yet but I'll set some. For this month I'd say I've seen an improvement but I feel like I still have a long way to go.
Supplementation:
Protein: 1 400ml shake at 39g of protein per shake post-training
Creatine: 5g per day of creatine monohydrate mixed with shake
Fish Oil: 3x 1000mg fish oil caps per day (per cap 170 mg EPA, 130mg DHA)
Diet:
Diet is generally good, pretty low on processed foods and junk food. I probably average around 5 portions of fruit/veg per day but I know this is something I need to improve on, particularly on days where I'm out training. I also need to work to control my appetite more and perhaps cut my calorie intake.
Current Injuries:
Still suffering from some problems with my back, not pain as such but some moderate discomfort. Also seems to be very slow to recover after a targeted session. Mobility work and strength work where possible, allowing time for full recovery after any session before repeating.
Aims:
My goal presently is an increase in functional strength all-over with a focus on explosive power. I aim to pair this with a reduction in bodyfat, an ideal target would be around 6%. Maintenance and progression of cardio fitness is also important. I need to eat more fruit and vegetables, trim back on my calorie intake and also try and get more Omega 3 oils into my diet.
EDIT: Turns out that the Olympic bar we use weighs 25kg not 20kg and the locking collars are an extra 5kg total that I forgot to add. Weights updated where appropriate, a pleasant surprise!
