First, my "before" pictures:

http://forum.avantlabs.com/index.php?act=ST&f=6&t=5254

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.



Biceps4 sets of Wide-grip Barbell Curls/8-10

5 sets of (machine) Reverse Hack Squats: 10 Reps

Chest: 4 sets of Incline Dumbell Presses/8-10

Calves: 5 sets of Reverse Calf Raises/10 reps

Not certain, yet.

Biceps4 sets of Standard-grip Barbell Curls/8-10
4 sets Reverse Preacher Curls/8-10

Abs Whatever I'm in the mood for.


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

Each of us conceals an abyss, though few of us are aware of its existence, and even fewer dare to explore its vastness.

Don't be hating on my socks

Well, I forgot to update this journal, but I have been updating one here:

http://forum.avantlabs.com/index.php...T&f=10&t=5498&

Now, I can keep this journal going here and there. Would have been too much of a pain to cut and paste everything.
