Hey everyone. I've started a training log here before, but I was a pussy and stopped going to the gym. I'm manning back up.

I've been going for a few weeks again now so I want to start a journal. Guess here goes nothing. I'm going in again tonight so I'll write up all my information in an edited first post when I get back.

Some personal info.

Name: Leon
Nationality: Russian
Age: 21

Here are my stats (estimated).

Height: 6"0
Weight: 185lbs

Max's on the big three.

Deadlift: 225
Bench: 175
Squat: 200

My legs are weak as shit. That's going to be one of my main focuses.

Haha, I wish. But I did meet him at an MFC Show (now Bodog Fight) out in Atlantic City about three years ago. He's really, really nice in person.

DAY 3 - Sunday, May 18th, 2008

Really shitty gym day. Got there mad late, it was set to close in 20 minutes. I warmed up for squats. Two sets in, I pulled some muscle (inner-thigh?) and couldn't do another set without failing.

Instead, I moved to the inclined leg sled to finish off. My legs are weak as shit, I really need to focus on this area next week.

Bench Press

5 x 115
3 x 115 [pulled muscle]

Leg Sled

5 x 140

5 x 180

3 x 180

[Bogdan Bozhinov]

Good job, Ruskii. I'm sore today too, but back and hamstings, mostly from deadlifts.
