background info
i started out boxing and doing muay thai when i was a teenager
i was always pretty small and skinny, wieghing about 180 at my heaviest. 8 months ago i just got burned on the training and started hitting the weights i have gained about 30lbs mostly muscle but some pudge aswell
now that im thickening i want to actually develop a base and get some solid numbers under my belt

Goals

i dont really have a program i have been getting my noob gains off of a modified bbing routine where i just focus on the big movements (squats deads bench sohp rows) all done with a barbell
i have been reading the faqs im just hesitant to change my routine when i have gotten so much gains off of what i am doing i figure i might just milk it till it stops giving me gains

okay so i havent updated in along time

i have been lifting but i have went back to my bodybuilding routine. today i shucked those methods though and i traveled to a power lifting gym, it was amazing. everyone was cool i got a million pointers on my form and i feel like i got a real workout, i wish i ahd done this sooner. although due to my situation i cant go there everyday i feel like i have finally found a group that will help me reach my goals strength wise.

im going to discontinue this log but watch out im going to hit my 1200lb total sooner than you know it
 
new year new goals im gong to start up the log again to keep myself honest

Lifting: my ultimate goal is fight now is 500lb squat 600lb deadlift and mid 300's bench
i want to comfortably above 1200 lb total by the end of the year. by that i mean i would be able to easily put weights up that wouldput me in the 1200 lb total range

to do this i need to work on my technique so this year im going to work on my bench and squat technique
and work on my bodyweight exercises no more being unable to do 5 pull ups

boxing: rebuild my base i have been very unhappy with my boxing for awhile,
i feel like im too easy to hit, because i get too aggressive and come off balance and im so jumpy that i have a hard time countering or thinking in the ring.
outside of practicing boxing i also want to work on watching and evaluating fights

im going to work on this by sparring more and working on alot of the stuff sin brings up in the standup section

Weight: i want to get my weight up to around 230 so my body is comfortable there and im not carrying to much fat at that weight

im just going to have work on my diet


so far for lifting i am doing madcow 5x5 i restarted my numbers low because my technique wasnt right so this year is stay on schedule and dont skip assistance work
 
w3d2 madcow
squat SOHP deadlift
120 85 185
155 100 225
180 115 255
180 135 295
i also did 10 sets of 5 of fat guy pull ups, 3 sets of sit ups bwx15 super setted with 3 sets of incline db press 50x15 60x15x2

weight feels good and my retooling of my squat form has helped alot with my back and the weight feels like nothing
the wide grip SOHP is going good aswell makes my shoulders feel much better
deadlift is working good aswell once again the weight feels really light but thats a good sign hopefully i will be able to blow through this 9 week cycle and move on to a much tougher next cycle
 
w3 d3

squat bench bent over rows
120 115 90
150 145 115
180 175 135
210 200 160
245 235 185
180 175 135
i also did 10 sets of 5 wide grip pullups
behind the neck press supersetted with weightd dips
barbell curls supersetted with barbell tricep extensions

sqauts felt great i fell like i really fell back into form and the 245x3 was extremely easy and i had no pain afterwords.

bench is going great im doing this entire madcow cycle with knees up pressing, the 225 last week was tough but for some reason the 235 this week was so much easier

being that im an idiot, snd then combine with excessive drinking nothing good really ever comes out of that. i was drinking last week and ended up trying to sumo wrestle some of friends on an iced up parking lot. i fell flat on the middle of my back on concrete fuckin hurt like bitch, the next day anyway.
so i took a couple days off to let my back recover sso i am restarting week 4 yester day was week 4 day 1 redux
