So I decided it's time to change my routine a bit.
My aim is to shock the body and to try something new. I decided to give Layne Norton's PHAT program a try.
Read more about it here!
I've done first two power days and I'm not quite sure what to think about the program.
The volume is just not quite what I'm used to. It's not.. how should I put it.. challenging enough.
It's hard to judge after only two days but I'm used to leaving the gym busted and feeling VERY sore the next few days. Well.. these two days didn't bring much soreness (with exception to my hams) and I wasn't feeling tired leaving the gym.
Oh well.. I'll stick to it for about 4 weeks and hopefully I'll gain some power and mass from it. If I'll notice gains I'll probably continue if not I'll just go back to my old routine ;).
I'm also afraid I won't be able to go to the gym so often in the next few weeks or maybe even months :/
I decided to finish a project I started 14 years ago. That is to finish college ;). I've got a LONG way to go and fitting my work (7AM-4PM), classes (5PM-8PM - in another town), family life and bodybuilding in my schedule will be a true challenge ;).

I want to look like that guy
Have you guys/gals seen that documentary "I want to look like that guy"?
No.. Well you should.
You can see it here.

It's a really good documentary explaining that there is no magic pill or workout machine that can get you into good shape in no time. It shows how much effort end dedication it takes to look like one of those guys on the covers of Fitness/Bodybuilding magazines.
No.. Well you should.

Another Leg day - another record
.. make that 3 records ;).
Yeah. I set 3 personal bests tonight. Squat : 7x150kg, 6x160kg, 6x170kg (assisted). On the last set I did double my body weight.
Well.. 160 and 170 weren't exactly proper squats.. more like 1/3 or. 1/4 squats but still.. never done that before so it still counts as personal best ;).
I'm went to the gym kinda tired. Only had 5h sleep, didn't eat properly since I was at customer whole day long, so my fuel reserves were low and my energy wasn't very high but I managed to psych myself and killed my legs!
Here's some update on my physique.. that's me at 85kg.
And an update on my quads ;). Yesterdays picture.

Woot? 87,7 kg?
Wow.. ain't that something.
I hit 87,7kg this Sunday. Sadly it only lasted two days and so I'm down to 85,1. I was retaining quite a lot of fluids in my body due to alcohol (beer) intake. I expected the weight to drop back to 84-85 by Wednesday or Thursday but I guess my metabolism is a bit faster then before. Usually it took me 3-4 days to drop the "extra (beer) fluids". Usually = 1,5 years ago!
Yeah .. I know what you're thinking. I have a really bad feeling about having those beers :/. But I really, really, REALLY had to ;).

Leg training with Blade
This Saturday I'm going to do a leg training with a proud owner of set of these quads:
I guess I'm going to enter a whole new era of PAIN.
It's gonna be hard but if it were easy, everyone would be walking around with quads like that.
Can't wait!
