HawMc's Log (2)

I made one a long time ago but I kinda forgot about it, tried to open it up again but I couldn't find it. That's why it has the boring name of "HawMc's Log (2)"

So anyway about myself I'm from Wales, Uk. 15 years old, nearly 16 and I'm something like 5"4 in height maybe a teeny bit more/less. I just weighed my self, an embarrasing 7stone (98lbs)   As you can see this was my main reason for starting to weight lift, I'm already destined to be light with my small height genes but my ectomorph type body and old eating habits didn't help at all Been stuck at 7stone since the summer as well so I'm just waiting for the day of my weight spurt

I saw scoob's vids a looong time ago maybe more than a year ago and I used to do pressups and situps every day, something like 300 reps for sit ups. Then I got a coupla dumbbells and used to do a lot of reps + bad form so I didn't improve really (except for my traps?!).

Anyway at the start of the summer I joined a gym and did mostly machines and all that crap so I went on the internet for routines and found scooby's vids again. I really liked his site and I went on these forums just to ask for a good routine, here I am

I took pictures in mid summer ish time and some about a month ago ( I'll try and put a back one in sometime)

New:



And i got some others on my profile if you wanna see ( btw the improvement isn't that great, I think the lighting in the old pic is pretty bad )

I've finished on doing a split routine and now I've started with Wolf's 3 a week full body routine, changed it just a little...

WORKOUT A
   squat - 2-4 warmup sets, then 3x10
   incline BB bench press - 3x10
   (weighted) pullups - 3x5-8
   military press - 3x10
   cable pushdowns - 3x10
   standing/seated calf raises - 4x15
  
WORKOUT B
   deadlift - 2-4 warmup sets, then 3x6
   bent-over BB rows - 3x10
   (weighted) dips - 3x5-8
   Shrugs - 3x10
   DB curls - 3x10
   reverse fly - 4x10

So yesterday I did Workout A for the first time ( I'm doing Sunday, Tuesday, Friday. I have footie on a saturday and wednesday. Thai boxing on a wednesday as well and circuit training on a thursday ) and I got crazy DOMS in my legs (worst I've ever experienced) since I haven't worked out in a while (especially my legs). It went:

WORKOUT A WEEK 1 WORKOUT 1
   squat - 1 warmup (bar) set 3 (20kg on bar and 25kg on bar x2) 10 10 10
   incline BB bench press - 3x (27.5kg) 10 10 8
   (weighted) pullups - (4kg) 8 5 7 (second set was wide)
   military press - 3x (22.5kg x2/20) 10 10 10
   cable pushdowns - 3x (30/35/40kg) 10 10 10
   Seated calf raises - 4x15 (61, with the seat close so its harder)

I found it a good workout. I might try and bring in some cardio in later months but not yet.
So there ya go, feel free to comment and if you notice I'm not updating just post it here so it reminds me, thanks  

I also want to improve my posture, I'll keep trying, hopefully it'll come with time.

EDIT: Nutrition has been my let down point, I am eating healthier than before but not a great deal better. If anyone from the Uk can tell me what kinda tasty stuff you get at the shops, I'd appreciate it

LOW FAT COTTAGE CHEESE!!
Its awesome for cottage cheese, just 1/5 of a small tub is 5g of protein!
Honey Ready Brek is nice for breakfast aswell as it being 100% oats

Thanks, ive just been surfing the forums ALOT and been trying to get as much info as possible, absorbing like a SPONGE
For cottage cheese, you can eat it on its own in a small bowl, on some crackers, in a sandwich, anything really, I love it
Also, cottage cheese with pineapple is nice but you can only get the small tubs of it

Alright thanks guys, I'll tell you what its like when I buy it I'll most probably have it on its own as a snack, hopefully its filling

Well, filling, yes it is. For me, it's probably the most filling food around. But without anything else it tastes... Empty... Eh, can't find a word for it in english
But yeah, try it by itself, then start mixing it up
Uhmm... Sausage and cottage cheese...

My take on breakfast cereals: buy whichever tastes better for you. I've tried different brands of high% wheat, and what not, and I hated all of them. I always went back to the good old cheerios, or chocapic. The difference isn't that great, either way. Unless you can get kashi cereals, or something of the like. 26g protein per 100g  I wish...
Anyway, with the type of cereals I eat + half a liter of milk, I still get over 16g of protein. And carbs are much more important than protein for breakfast, as according to my low, and possibly wrong knowledge, says that while sleeping, we burn our sugar thingies. And we mainly run on carbs, so a good filling in the morning is the best. You can compensate later on, for the short protein of this meal.

Getting my cottage cheese ina bit  But I STILL have leg DOMS, not as bad as yday at least I can walk now but it's still pretty painfull. It shows how I use to neglect legs. Won't workout today because I still have slight DOMS and I'm revising for a science Gcse for tomorrow Wish me luck lol.

good luck to you both, i have geography standard grade (GCSE in England)  tomorrow! Ah! ive done like nothing for it cause ive been on this! . ah well, muscle building is more important than geography
