Introducing myself as requested by the forum, here goes:
Pat
20 year old male
6'0", 170 lbs
Thin body type
I did a lot of speed strength training for football and soccer in highschool. I had tremendous improvements in strength over the 3 years I played, but, I hardly had any mass increase. I don't think I ever broke 180 lbs. I guess the upshot is that I stay pretty defined when I do work out. I haven't worked out much since highschool and I am just getting back into it. Started about 2 weeks ago. My biggest setback is my diet. I love to eat, but, being a poor college student I am limited in the amount of food I can buy. I am really interested in good nutrition on a budget.
I want to see some visible improvement in mass and definition. No specific goals set yet though. I'm not familiar with setting goals that are not strength related.
Here is my current workout plan, though I'm sure it needs some adjustments:
Day 1 - Sets of: 12,10,8
Bench Press
Incline Dumbell Press
Skull Crushers (triceps)
Butterflies with Cables (I could use some help with technique on this one)
Day 2 - Sets of: 12,10,8
Squats
Lunges
Calf Raises
Day 3 - Sets of: 12,10,8
Dumbell Curls
Machine Row
Lat Pulldowns
Reverse Curls
Exercise similar to Preacher Curl Negatives
I also do about 30-40 minutes of Abdominal work before each workout
Right now I fit cardio in about 2 times a week
I usually just do all three days, skip a day or two, and then start the cyle over again. I don't really go on a week by week basis.
I don't have much to say about my diet other than it sucks, I eat whatever I can, and I am still trying to learn how to fix it.
I occasionally drink muscle milk or a smoothie king smoothie after my workout.
Thoughts/criticism welcome.
