Ah ha. Now we have your motivation for training. You're just fishing for compliments from young women! Well now that you've accomplished that, where do you go from here?
In all seriousness, that is a nice additional benefit of training!

You thought about doing a bodybuilding comp or even giving powerlifting a hoon? You've got a mean base for either of those bro - good excuse to get a few tips from your mate Jade too!!
Any numbers in particular you want to hit for lifts or bodyweight/bodyfat?
-
Nah neither really for me mate
I can get diet tips off her anytime tho. Seeing her this weekend actually as we got a wedding to attend.
No real goals numberswise but gonna do this programme I've had passed on from one of my jacked powerlifting mates. Just gonna follow it, eat well and see where it takes me.

New programme underway - 14 weeks with first 2 weeks being a hypertrophy phase followed by 4 weeks of technique focus and then 2 x 4 week strength blocks. I got it from a powerlifting mate of mine who had it done for him by PTC in Gold Coast who have a great rep as strength and conditioning specialists.
Bloody thing is a PDF and doesnt appear to copy well so a bit difficult for me to track in my own book. I've had to convert all his weights to mine using basic % of max lifts. All seems pretty light for now but will get harder for sure. Actually only the squat, deads and bench are prescribed weights. Accessory work weights aren't detailed, just reps and sets with only limit being that you shouldnt be failing any reps.
Plan for each week is Lower Mon and Thurs, Upper Tues and Fri with weds being a rest day so probably light cardio, mobility etc.
Today's workout
Squat - 5 sets of 10 @ 70kg
Lying hamstring curls - 3 sets of 10 @ 43kg, 46, 46
Leg press - 5 sets of 10 @ 90kg (these leg presses at my new gym way feel heavier than any other i've used)
Lunges - 3 sets of 10 @ 15kg/side
Hanging leg raises superset with deadbugs - 3 sets of 10
Banded bodyweight squats - 5 sets of 10
Banded clamshells - 5 sets of 12 -
Day 2 and a fairly easy day as I'm still doing main lift at 45% max.
BB bench - 5 sets of 10 at 50kg
BB row - 3 sets of 12 at 50kg
Seated tricep extension - 3 sets of 12 at 27.5kg
Incline DB curls - 3 sets of 12 at 15kg/side
DB side lateral raises - 3 sets of 12 at 7.5kg/side (seated)
Internal / external rotations - 5 sets of 15
Prone cobras - 5 sets of 10 -
No doubt you've got that mint form locked in bro. Can still be really satisfying lifting well below your usual range and making each rep tumeke. You'll be frothing by the time the weight gets challenging too!
