I will be detailing my weight loss progress based on goals.

Fullbody Challenge - 11/29



Monday
Bench Press 3x5
Barbell Rows 3x5
Seated Military Press 3x5
Squats 1-2x12-20
Sumo RDLs 3x5
Barbell Curls - Max Reps 5 Minutes

Wednesday
Deadlift 3x5
Dips 3x5
Seated One Arm Dumbbell Press 3x5
Squats 1-2x12-20
BB Calf Raise 3x10-20
Weighted Situps 3x10-25

Friday
Dumbbell Bench 3x5
Seated Military Press 3x5
Rack Chins 3x5
Squats 1-2x12-20
Sumo RDLs 3x5
Concentration Curls - Max Reps 5 Minutes

Notes:

Squats. It will take me a few weeks to build back up to 20 reppers. My endurance is week.

Sumo RDLs. Sumo RDLs are ramped sets. 60-80-100.

Deadlifts. Deadlifts are ramped sets. 60-80-100.

3x5 sets. All 3x5 sets are a Reg Park style 5x5 except for rack chins. I plan on a dding weight to rack chins, but there will be a learning curve.

Curls. I am going to pick a weight and just rest-pause the heck out of biceps. I won't use any specific rest periods, but will just hammer away as much as possible. Heavy curls don't feel good to me, so these will allow me to drop the weight a hair and kill my biceps.

Military Presses. My left shoulder is a bit tender during BTNs, so I'm sticking with seated military's for a while.

185 Days To Go

October 13th, 2010: Back

Weight Target = Plus 1.2 pounds

I am tracking my weight based on amount left to lose and days to get there. Ate a bit more pie this past Saturday then I should have. Weight is slightly above target.

Supplements:
--Pre-workout: Anabolic Impac
--Protein Powder: MGN Cinnamon Bun
--Test Booster: AromX-RD by Advanced Muscle Scince
--Others: Scivation Xtend and Essential FA. Multivitamin and joint supplement.

Diet Notes:

Post-workout is currently a whey shake and a banana. Running about 2100 daily calories (give or take) depending on how many apples and pickles I have at night.

One weekly refeed - Saturday.

Today's Workout

Workout Time: 48 minutes

Workout Grade: A

Daily Cardio: NADA

Solid effort. Tried pullups for the first time in decades and nailed them. Anabolic Impac is giving me real good energy and solid focus. AromX-RD is helping with recovery. I do not feel sluggish during the day, nor during my workouts. When not on test boosters I can notice a difference.

Currently doing a 5 on, 1 off split. This will change, I am sure.

Thanks man. Taking it easy. They used to bug the hell out of my biceps. So far so good.
