I'll set everything straight later in terms of what I'm trying to do (as I never truly know, myself).
For the main part, this is for my eyes, so that I can keep track of what I'm doing. Generally, I do whatever I please until I get sick of it, then I move on to something else. So you won't here me stating "here's what I'll be doing for the next ten weeks."
If I wanted to do nothing but jumping-jacks for two weeks, by glorious Hell, that's what I'd do.
As of recently, I've been lifting with my (mental) health in mind, so I do what I'm going to enjoy (plus, I'm training around several ailments/injuries).
I love push/pull splits as I can train a given bodypart several times per week, and have moved away from that for the past two weeks. But, I'm itching to do another push/pull split, so that's what I'm going for.
As of now I'm still working out the details. I'm planning, however, on getting away with as much volume as I can, so I'll be keeping my caloric intake high.

Thinking to myself:
This will be done ROB-style, so I won't be keeping track of weights (and at this point, due to said injuries, I can't lift as heavy as I'd like to, anyhow, so why train with loads which would only serve to aggravate the condition).
Day 1: Push V1 Quads: 5 sets of Sumo Squats/10 reps
5 sets of (machine) Hack Squats: 10 Reps
Chest: 4 sets of Bench Presses/8-10
4 sets of Dips/8-10
Calves: 5 sets of Calf Presses/10 reps
5 sets of Calf Raises/10 Reps
Shoulders: 4 sets of Push Presses/8-10 reps
4 sets of standing one-arm lateral/ 8-10 reps
Triceps: 4 sets of Close-grip Benches/8-10 reps
4 sets of Skull Crushers/ 8-10 reps
Day 2: Pull V1 Hamstrings 5 sets of Good Mornings/8-10 reps
5 sets of Leg Curls/8-10 reps
6 sets total for Abbductor/Adductor/8-10 reps (unlike most men, I love doing these, and will start from a near full-split position).
I need to bring up my hams to match my quads, so they'll be getting some extra volume.
Back/TrapsShrugs: 4 sets/8-10. God, I fucking hate shrugs. Too boring. However, for now I can no longer perform Hanging Cleans (which I absolutely adore), due to my bicep tendon.
But, knowing me, I'll try them regardless (been trying to find a good brace for my arms, but I have yet to find one).
Not certain as to what I'll be doing, as of this moment.
Repeat. I'll take days off whenever I sense the need. This is how I train, always. If I feel like lifting, then I don't care if it's my "day off," I'm going to get in there and tear shit up.
It makes me feel good
