G'day guys!

Just a quick intro, I'm a 50 year old dad with a job and a pretty regular life. Divorced, couple of kids. Got a few hobbies and generally pretty active. I canoe on a regular basis with a club, train twice a week and now getting back onto the gym train! I want to pack on some mass and as the canoeing season is kicking off I want to be stronger and more conditioned for competition.

Previous to this my diet was ok, well.... and now I've cleaned it up. Back to whole foods, clean protein, clean carbs and my favourite...fats!! I'm not a big eater so it's hard for me to pack on weight but I know I'll have to eat more if that is my goal.

Just as an example I had a homemade burger patty, 3 fried whole eggs, piece of toast and a glass off milk. Oh and 5 fish oil caps.

Planning on having 4 regular meals a day, and see how it goes. I'm sure as I train more my body will get hungrier for food. I'll keep you posted.

As for training, I'm back on board doing 3-4 weight sessions a week. Being a middle aged old fart sometimes I can only manage 3 including canoeing and my construction work.
Training will be focused on mainly compounds for body parts with challenging but not hugely crazy weight. I used to annihilate my muscles but was completed rooted by the end of the week both physically and mentally. Burned out. So more balance approach now.

As for my PED's I'm currently on self prescribed and managed TRT, ranging between 125 - 250mg sustanon 250 and sometimes test E. I'll be cranking that up gradually to about 400mg, and adding some deca into the mix for an extra kick. As the season really kicks off I'll be switching to EQ for the endurance properties. Well that's plan anyway. Never used EQ or Deca but already have purchased.

I haven't used Gearmaniacs products before but I will be sure to in the future as he is sponsoring me here on this log. I will definitely share my experiences with you guys when the time comes.

Well that's basically it. I'll be doing this for 6 months. Photos will be coming soon. I would appreciate any comments, criticisms,advise, opinions on any aspect of my goals and log. This is my first time logging, it'll be a great experience and keep me accountable!

Cheers for reading

Ok guys, update.

Weight this morning is 83.5 kg.
Bfast was a ham, cheese, lettuce sandwich and black coffee.
Lunch was scrambled eggs with salad
Banana and mandarin.
Dinner was vegetarian pasta! Delish and a protein shake after workout.
Will finish off with cornflakes.

8 hour work day in construction and 12.7k steps in today.

Training tonight was a starter doing chest, triceps and shoulders. Working up to a 10 x 10 volume training style.

So today was

3 x 10 bench press
3 x 10 military press
3 x 10 skull crushers
These were all working sets with warm ups before hand and plenty of stretching

Will work up to a 10 x 10 set/rep routine.
Also, will be rotating different exercises as I go but still all compounds.

Training 3 times a week. Upper/lower/upper body.

Cheers guys.

Yeah, I also water train twice a week in canoeing. No, I don't count calories. I just guage it by eye and my stomach. As long as I get in the three macros in most meals I'm pretty sweet

 

[mung_bean]
