I didn't workout yesterday(Friday), I think I'll take 1-2 weeks off, I have been doing the same program for 9 weeks now, I will start version 2, a modified version of this program when I start training again.

I'll probably do that for 4-8 weeks, then a week off, and I'll start a new log and do ws4sb or something.

Log will be dead for a while..

Not much happening training wise, been working on some chin-ups(supinated).

Last Sunday I tested my max as 14(from dead hang), with the 15th getting to about 90 degree elbows. I've been working chin-ups since then and today managed 15, the last one wasn't quite as good as the rest, but my chin went over, so I'm paying it.

I want to get 16 chin-ups by next, next Sunday - 1.5 weeks time approximately.

I will likely do some Benching and Bent-over Rows tomorrow with a friend, reps on a light weight.


Also, I'm now half a week into my school holidays, holidays this week and next week, then 1.5 weeks of school, then muck-up day(go crazy at school and possibly chuck eggs at people), and then nothing(study time), then final exams in november.

I also submitted my University preferences today:

Undergraduate preferences:
38101: Commerce (New Generation) (University Of Melbourne (The), Parkville, F/T, P/T)
28531: Commerce/Business Information Systems (Monash University, Clayton, F/T, P/T)
28621: Accounting & Finance (Monash University, Clayton, F/T, P/T)
28061: Commerce (Monash University, Clayton, F/T, P/T)
28421: Business Information Systems (Monash University, Clayton, F/T, P/T)
27771: Accounting/Management (Monash University, Caulfield, F/T)
27561: Accounting/Banking & Finance (Monash University, Caulfield, F/T, P/T)
27261: Accounting (Monash University, Caulfield, F/T, P/T)
27421: Banking & Finance (Monash University, Caulfield, F/T, P/T)
27081: Business (Monash University, Caulfield, F/T, P/T)
38691: Information Systems (University Of Melbourne (The), Parkville, F/T, P/T)
21061: Finance (La Trobe University, Bundoora, F/T, P/T)

I wonder where I will end up next year!! :p

I will post whatever I do tomorrow, I'm thinking 3-5 sets of max reps with 157.3lbs in the Bench Press and Bent-over Row.

30/9/07 Sunday
Weight:173


sets x reps x weight

Bench Press
1 x 15 x 157.3lbs
1 x 8 x 157.3lbs
1 x 8 x 135.3lbs

Bent-over Row
1 x 15 x 157.3lbs
2 x 11 x 157.3lbs

Hammer Curls

5 x 5e x 38.5lbs

Concentration Curls
1 x 6e x 44lbs

Comments:
-I had a friend over, so we did some stuff:
-All Bench sets were taken to failure, probably would have done some heavy benching, but I don't trust my friend holding much more than 157 over my head - he would have to bring the bar out to me, as my rack positioning is exactly the width of my grip on the bar
-Rows were taken to failure on the 2nd and 3rd sets
-My friend did some concentration curls with 44lbs, so I just had to beat him haha.

I'm probably going to order some books from amazon in the next few months, I'm thinking these:

Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training - Mark Rippetoe;
Men's Health TNT Diet - Jeff Volek;
Men's Health Power Training - Robert dos Remedios;
Science and Practice of Strength Training, Second Edition - Vladimir M. Zatsiorsky;

That will keep me busy for quite a while, especially the last one.

The Australian dollar is at like .88 USD now, and we should hit parity(1:1) in the next few months! Sweeett..... cheap-er stuff from the US.....

not a great time to be an american now, in terms of $...if you're anywhere else, you're good to go...

I've got the 2nd edition of SS on pre-order, really looking forward to that.

I don't know if you know this, but you can find the whole TNT diet online, if that's what you're looking for. Should be a good read anyways.

and I've heard of the zatsiorsky book before, let us know how it is.

Well I'm not going to be following a diet really, I just wanted a book with some good information on nutrition, and some good tips. I want something that will be useful for me as I am moving out of my parents house in the next few months - healthy stuff to cook, etc.. I haven't really read much on nutrition compared to what I have read on training.

Is just the diet template online? or most of the book? Worth buying the book?

As for the zatsiorsky book, I think it will be one of those books with a crapload of graphs, charts, references to lots of studies etc. Probably similar to "Science of Sports Training" by Thomas Kurz(I read probably a third of it, ages ago, I'll get around to it one day :P), one of those books with heaps of general information backed up by scientific evidence, that will take me ages to get through, but with information that I would like to know, and I will probably learn alot from.

here's the tnt diet online. Check this out and see if you still need the book.

and I had a feeling that the zatsiorsky would be very technical. Probably won't read it for a while, I have plenty of dense reading to do for school already.

Thanks for the link,

I'll probably buy Starting Strength 2nd Edition, Power Training, and The TNT Diet once they are all available(there must be loads more info in the book). Unless a lot of reviews are saying Power Training is a load of crap, or something like that. 70USD = 80AUD - probably less once starting strength 2nd Edition is released.

Just a bit of a [b]rant[B/](the \'training\' part of this log died, and then got kicked a few times):

Pretty much an update on my situation...

Parents(meaning dad) are forcing me to sell all my training equipment(dammit!), I\'ve already got rid of some of it. So I\'ll be out of it for a few months now, giving a chance for some people to catch up to me (just kidding, actually everyone will be kicking my ass once i get back on track).

I will be joining a gym, but I have to find out where I will be living(not here) in a couple months time, which depends on what university I go to(If i can pull that off)/job i have, which depends on my grades and cash...

I\'m kinda pissed, had some training goals I wanted to achieve, and had some good stuff planned for the next couple months.

So, thats not so good, but Oh well, can\'t really do shit about it right now.
