Road to a Big 3 Thousand!

[Goodwinm]

Okay. Thought i'd create a new journal to track my new split.

Works really hectic working 40+ hours per week. I hardly have time to see my fiance let alone work out! lol So ive devised a new training split. basically its like this.

Back/Chest/Shoulders - Rest - Legs/Bi's/Tri's - Rest And repeat. Might vary but this is how things are gonna run for a while.

Im training for maximum power. Im training for upcoming PL meets. Might do one in december. Or might wait a litle longer til im a daddy. I'll wait and see. But my main goal with this new split... is... To hit that 1,000lb Big 3 mark!

Current Lifts are as follows.

Bench - 225
Squat - 270
Deadlift - 405
Total - 900

My Target Lifts for Christma are as follows.

Bench - 250
Squat - 315
Deadlift - 440
Total - 1005

Wish me luck! hehe. Im determined. I will do this! I'm not too bothered about what weight class im entering. As long as I can hit 1,000 by Xmas i'll be happy. Im likely to stay around 80kg (176lbs) or under.

All the best.

first post! hah, good luck with the plan.. I think some of those goals look pretty reasonable especially with access to better equipment. good luck with the new plan.

[Goodwinm]

Cheers Chris! I think theyr prety reasonable. I wreckon if i would have put my all into it today I could of hit a 300 squat. But 270 x 2 will do nicely.

Thnks for being the first poster hehe

[Coke]

Good effort overall man, keep rolling...

[Stumprrp]

great work keep it up

[offhegoes03]

looking good man.. good to see the milli press back up there.

[Guido]

Those look like attainable goals, man. Well done.

I was a bit confused at first, though, looking at the title of your journal. I thought you were trying to total 3,000 lbs. Might be a few years and a hundred pounds before you reach that!

[Chubrock]

Nice lifting man. Looks like we're both trying to get stronger. Stop by the journal sometime.

[Goodwinm]

Coke, stump - Thnks a bunch guys!

Chris - Yep my millies coming back to winning ways yay!

Guido - Hey thanks man! I tried to be realistic and I think I can get those goals! haha 3,000lbs would be insane at this bodyweight! I'll probs never total 3,000lbs in my life.

Chub - Cheers dude! Ill stop by definatley. Sorry I havnt popped in for a while!

[Can'tstopnow]

If you keep hittn the wts as you are I think your goals will have to be raised before too long, nice work. Do you do your military presses seated or standing?

[Goodwinm]

hey thanks dude Mi lpresses always standing. Makes me feel like im in control alot more. Thnks for stopping by .

[SpecialK]

Nice pressing there

[KingJustin]

I'm definitely liking the term "power curls." I might have to steal that.

Good lifting and good luck with everything.

[Can'tstopnow]

I've always done militarys seated, think I'll give the standing a shot to see how it goes.

[Goodwinm]

K - Thnks dude!

Justin - haha power curls rock. They really work your back aswell as Bi's!

Can'tstopnow - Give it a try. Definately. Some ppl prefer seated. somepeople like myself prefer standing. Standing requires alot more stablilty so whatever your seated mil pressing I can pretty much garuntee when ur standing u'll be doing less. Not always the case. But going by personal experience..

[Goodwinm]

Back/Chest/Shoulders Tomorrow morning!

*brushes dust off journal*

Well guys, due to personal reasons I will not be weight lifting for quite some time now. Its a decision ive made with thought And i think its for the best. Works killing me quite hard. And its a a real struggle to find the time to lift weights at the gym or at home. So im putting it on hold for a while. Probably a long time actually. Ill still be keeping fit and doing heavy lifting, (Delverys constantly at work will help me stay in shape a little bit).
Ive decided not to attend the meet in December. Id probably just injure myself anyways. And i wudnt be training for it. So all n all. Im very sad to not be able to have proper workouts anymore. But Im sure my body will thank me for it. (heavy weight lifting and doing heavy ass deliverys is probably shredding my CNS)

Well see you guys around. Thank you to all of you guys. Espeically - Coke, Stump, offhegoes, KingWilder, and more who reuglarly post in here and add tips, advice and friendly banter. Cheers guys. I wish you all the very best with training and all!

Ill pop in from time to time. Hopefully next time i check over eveyrones journals.....

Coke - Will own his own gym full of superiour HS machines. And continue to be a beast!

Stump - Will have deadlifted over 6pps. at sub 190 bodyweight.

Offhegoes - Will have Mil pressed 180lbs+!

KW - Will continue to kick ass on everything. At his goal BW of 200lbs. You can do it man!

Special K - Will have moved up to 540 x 5 on deadlifts. Keep it up man. Your doing superb!!

HB - Will have mastered the squat technique and hammered home a 6pps squat at least!

[offhegoes03]

damn dude.. that sucks about not lifting anymore, but you gotta do what's best for you. good luck with everything and I'll attempt to milli press somewhere close to that number, but probalby not quite that high
