October 7th personal update:
As promised, here is a little personal update as well as a briefing on my patterns etc.
Supplements:
Pre-Workout: Cellucor C4
Recovery: BioX Power Whey Complex
Cardio:
Cooper test (2.4 km run) at 11:50
Beep Test at 10.5
Cardio is not my strong suit and it will be worked on; however I am fairly pleased at how well my cardiovascular fitness is considering a lack of attention on it.
Weight-Training:
I have gained about 25 pounds of muscle over the past year; about 5 of those have been in the past month. Current weight is 205 pounds at 5'10"
I haven't really tried to max anything but here are my current stats for core exercises:
Barbell Squat at 365 pounds X 3. PB is 425 lbs X 3
Reverse-Grip Row at 245 lbs X 6. PB is 275 X 6. X 3 reps has not been tested
Dumbbell flat bench press at 80lbs X 6. X 3 not tested but I'm guessing ~ 95 lbs. PB is 100lbs X 3.
Hex-Deadlift has not been tested at all. PB is 475lbs X 3.
In terms of lifting I am well on my way to shattering all of my PBs by the time the second semester comes around. Progress is pretty damn quick. I have been setting PBs in other lifting exercises so pretty proud of that.
Diet:
Could use some work. I could probably start consuming more calories (goal is 4,000 calories/day) and eating more veggies as well
Sleep patterns:
To be honest they are pretty damn horrid haha. Average bed time is around 1 am and average wake up is 11 am. I need to start getting to sleep earlier.
Overal feel: Feeling pretty great! It's amazing how much happier a person can be when they are exercising regularly. Alertness, sleep quality, bloodflow (hehe), appetite, grades etc have all improved since the start of the semester!
