Ok, basically I started gopro's P/RR/S training "routine" and I have been doing it for the past few weeks and decided maybe I should keep an online journal so you guys could maybe help me if I get stuck or hit a plateau. So... yeah I am posting all my logs so far as I am starting this journal mid way through my 10 week cycle before I take my 1 week break to heal.
I basically stole a prewritten routine written by gopro
I am currently doing his suggestion for the first 6 months of the program as:
P/RR/P/P/RR/RR
then I will be moving on to
P/RR/P/RR/S/P/P/RR/RR/S
As suggested by gopro.
Next post will be my routines.
[Age 19, Height 6'0, Weight 185lbs, Body Fat Estimation 25%]
The high body fat number goes hand in hand with me being weaker than your average 185lb'er. My goal is to bulk up and then do a cut. I want my add muscle all over my entire body, before dropping a good 10% body fat.

Well thanks for coming straight out but a suggestion would be nice as to what you feel is missing in it and how I could make it better.
there is nothing right about your diet. you consume too little protein, not enough good fat, not enough veggies, i could go on and on. read the diet stickies in the diet forum. they will help you big time.
you take 4 different supplements not including the vitamins and glucosomine...etc (those are fine). Get rid of the nitrix, no xplod, cellmass, and axis. if you want get some creatine, thats it. what the fuck is the point of taking all that shit?
and i suggest you type out some real goals. not just "bulk up and the do a cut". too general. more along the lines of... i want to increase muscle mass, limit fat gain, increase bench to 300lbs, increase squat to 400lbs, increase deadlift to 450lbs, do this, do that, make my arms this size, make my chest this size. sounds stupid now but it will help you break plateau's in the end.
I'll post my rep range week tomorrow, I need to get some sleep and hopefully recover from my workout earlier today. Thanks for the early criticism, any added criticism is welcome, just try to be nice and don't call me an idiot. Thanks to all to help me on my journey!
As you can see, many exercises have VERY LOW numbers, and it is not because I am not trying, it is because I litterally am at that point in my fitness. I lost alot of weight doing a low carb diet, 100lbs to be exact, and the weight came off so fast that I lost a good amount of muscle along with it. I am just now barely at the leg strength I was those 100lbs ago, I used to leg press 250lbs with eaze, now I am getting comfortable with 240lbs. But I'm willing to work for my progress.
