CaT_SPeW 2013 Transformation

CaT_SPeW

extra crispy
ok after a half arsed start to the year i figured i'll take the plunge and enter the transformation comp. if this journal is still here in 12 months and ive made some progress then ive been successful regardless...

Stats:
Age - 33
Height - 177cm
Weight - 76.5kg
Waist - 86cm
BF% - unsure maybe 17-20%

Current lifts:
Bench - 70kg x 4
Squat - 80kg x 4
Deadlift - 120kg x 1

bearing in mind im returning from an injury and had about 4 months off so my current lifts are not that accurate. prior to injury i was getting repping around 100kg squat, 85kg bench, 130kg dead @72kg and my overall best 1RM's are 125kg squat, 102.5kg bench, 185kg dead @ 84.7kg

i think my approach will be to drop some of the holiday weight im carrying while pushing the big 3 lifts (bench, squat, dead) and getting my cardio up for Tough Mudder in april then from there i guess i'll lean bulk through the rest of the year or something like that.

6.5 km run would hospitalise me....top effort Dave.

I wish you all the best with your transformation, but you're beautiful just the way you are. You know it, I know it.

Your left kneebone in those pics....it does something to my groinular region.

Just Vladimir Putin dat out there.
