This is my journal. I am planning on keeping this one untill I finish cutting in 2-4 weeks. I'm 6'1" and 187 with shorts, shirt, shoes.
I'm doing a P/RR/P/S type routine. I'm doing P/RR/P/P or p/rr/p/rr for legs.
My shin splints came back a few days ago form leg day, B-Ball, and cardio day. I hate my flat feet.
Last year at college I just kept playing B-Ball and runnin with the shinsplints; it wasn't smart.

I know it's sad that I have an arm day but it's so much fun.

lawl, the ol' arm day. I see alot of advanced guys doing it, works for some I suppose. I don't know if I have shin splints but when I walk fast or run for a very short amount of time the front of my lower legs get super tight and feel uncomfortable. I have flat feet too.

I think that is impossible with todays medical knowledge.
I just realized during my workout that I think my leg problems are bein agrivated by these new leg exercises I am doing. I think my tissue will develop and be stronger in the end.

Nate K

Damn feet. It seems that evolutionary speaking all this would have taken care of itself.
We should have all gone shoeless from birth, eh?

Yeah getting used to the front squats can take a bit, just do them consistantly and keep those shoulders high and tight. Nice lunges, I haven't done those in a while.

"What is he doing walking back and forth holding the heavy D.B's? I bet he can't curl it."
There was a fine blonde doing walking lunges but she won't look at me. I would farmer's walk all over her.
