Hi,
Since I finished my bulk I have been strength training and I have to admit it has been very successful. I can't believe in around 8 weeks I have improved my strength on my chest, arms, legs and back. Strangely I have found shoulders the most difficult to gain strength on, but I will let it go as I have been so progressive on everything else.
On Saturday (9th May 2015), I am starting my Cut for summer and I am really looking forward to it. After gaining size and strength over the last few months it will be great to get lean for summer.
So with my strength training this is my updated personal bests:
- Bicep curl: 20kg
- Hammer curl: 16kg
- Squat: 105kg
- Bench press dumbbell: 40kg
- Incline Bench press: 82.2kg
- Barbell bench press: 92.2kg
- Triceps rope pull down: 30kg
This is a new high for me being able to lift heavy, before I started the strength training I was benching around 70kg and bicep curling 14kg so it's a massive improvement.
Moving forward to my cut I am starting a youtube channel to give a idea of what I am doing during my cut and the type of stuff I am eating doing to get my weight down. It will follow my life as I cut down and the the sort of things that work for me. I am doing it with my mate as I think it will spur me on more to succeed.
For now I will leave you with some videos of my personal bests and I look forward to updating soon..
