    LOOK my New Journal

    Well after a lon layoff from any serious journal inputing I decided to go back at it (Just for you Gary!! ) Anyways, I haven't been able to do what I've been wanting to do lately due to a bad right rotator cuff. I pretty much have it back to normal other then some slight soreness on occasion.

    I'm 27yo about 6'0 tall and 185lbs. I'll post my body fat possibly on Monday or Tuesday, I'm awaiting my bodyfat calipers to arrive in the mail. If I were to guess I would say between 16%-18% mostly belly fat.
    My Training split is as follows...
    Sunday- Legs
    Monday-Chest/Back
    Tuesday- Bi's and Tri's
    Wed.- No Workout (Softball!!)
    Thursday-Shoulders
    Friday-SOFTBALL!!
    Saturday- OFF.
    I also mix in on my workout days about 30-40 min. in my backyard hitting off a batting tee at a continuous rate.

    My Supplement intake...
    2000mg a day Vit. C
    800 iu Vit E
    800 mg Calcium
    1 Serving Labrada's Liq. MultiVit.
    Glutamine
    V-12 (will discontinue when I run out)
    Syntrax Nitrous(will discontinue when I run out)
    Joint Care
    BCCA's (Beverly Internation Mass Amino)

    I'll update when I change anything up. My goal is to get down on body fat. When softball is over then its time for the bulking cycle!!!
    I welcome all advice so if you have any recommendations please feel free to holla'. I won't start to list my workouts until Sunday which will begin the workout week.
    Thanks!!
    The beatings will continue until morale improves!!

    Personal Goal: I WILL be playing "C" tournament ball next year!!!

    Legs and ABS

    Let me start this off like this. I won't be doing squats until the off season for softball with fears of blowing out my knees. With that being said here is my workout for today...

    Stiff Leg Deadlift
    115x10 135x10 145x10 165x8

    Leg Extentions
    100x10 125x10 140x10 150x10

    Leg Curls
    45x10 55x10 60x10 70x6(MF)

    Calf Raises w/ Dumbells
    30x15 40x15 40x15 55x11(MF)

    ABS

    Reverse Crunch
    3 sets 15

    Cable Crunch
    50x15 60x15 60x15

    Pretty good workout overall. I forgot to add in my opening post that I workout at home and I don't go to the gym. Also forgot to add ZMA as a supplement that I'm using. Please feel free to critique my workout.
    Thanks!!

    I've been doing only db incline and flat lately but really no shoulder workouts. The max on the db's were 55x10. My shoulder is still kinda weak to do heavier flye exercises though.

    Id do light cuff work twice a week maybe. That area of the shoulder gets very little blood, so it can take a long time for things to heal. You can do shoulder work, but keep it light and keep form stricter than you ever have before. The tendons holding the shoulder together are just so damn fragile.

    And yeah, i got a little pain in my cuff... its just some tendonitis/bursitis, not an actual tear, but it kept me out of any movements that stress the cuff for about a week and a half. It's still a little tender, and i had to go really light for chest today.

    Anyway, just be careful... the faster it heals the faster you can pack on the beef.


    EDIT: or 3-5 times a week, whatever works for you
