Hi guys i’m currently 88kg/194lbs at around 6’2/6’3 and what this log is going to be is aN detailed description of pretty much all I eat and everything I do in the gym, with a few of my own personal thought a quires. Ill throw in a bit of back ground about myself, i am currently work at a gym training to be a Personal trainer I train 5-6 days a depending on how many day i work that week most likely 6.

I would also like to add that I am a newbie both to this forum and to training in general, as I have been lurking on this sire for 5-4 month and training since May 2011 and I had a 4 month gap from August - November last year due to work, school and personal issues. that isn’t just a weak ass excuse either i was leaving for college at 5am and leaving college at 6pm and then straight into a night shift in the kitchens until 1-2am. But now I’ve been hitting the gym hard since then and training smart since finding this site.

My current workout is the one Kingbeef wrote up for Do This Routine Instead of That Dumb One - Competitive Bodybuilding - Forums - T Nation and I had my first work out today so I cant rate it yet. But if it makes me look half as good as he is I’ll be happy.

So today the workout was.
