all i had time for, these workouts seem short but the added cardio and high reps really do me in and require longer rest periods, hopefully i can start adding in a little more leg work, i think i might make thursday a non cardio leg day just to get some more volume in.

hey guys, didnt want to clutter the training logs with all my rehab bullshit training, ill post more on the updates later but for now ill just say im following a bodybuilding style training and possible planning a small cut this summer, but i have some pics for ya guys. Im not quite as strong as i was pre injury but my size is up a decent amount and ive been getting mnore stretch marks as of lately.

lighting is a bit off on these first couple, and my posing makes me look retarded hahaha

it was just a high level of degeneration, so no squats or deads or other spine loading exercises. ill be experimenting with glucosimine this summer to see if i can return some fluid to them. o well, i deal with what i got.

heres my training now:
mon. - heavy legs/arms
tues. - chest/arms
wed- back/arms
thurs- shoulders/arms
friday- high rep legs/arms
sat- optional recovery ciruit
sun- off

i do 4-5 sets of biceps and triceps each day for high frequency but moderate volume total. I think arms fatigued quickly but also recovery quickly and im setting out to test this so well see how it goes. The sets i do for othermuscles has me sore almost till the next week and im experiencing rapid stretch mark increases so i assume this is a good sign. Ive been implementing this for a month or less seriously so ill give it another month at least and see how it goes. Any comments, suggestions or questions are welcome.
