I decided to start a log so I can keep track of my training and get input from more experienced lifters. My current split is as follows…

Thursday- sumo dead lift- heavy set of 5, leg press- work up to set of 8, 1 leg calf raises.

so today was…

db bench- 95’s x 7 + 1+0. I’ve been giving rp a try and got buried today

push press- 155x 5. I use leg drive to get the bar to my forehead where my shoulders can really take over. Just started these today.

underhand lat pulldown- 220x8.

This new split really emphasizes frequency and intensity. I’m going to run it for 3 weeks, take a back off week and run it again for 3 weeks and see what kind of progress I make.

forgot to mention…

I do cardio after every lifting session; after upper body I do 20 minutes on the stepmill, after legs I do 20 minutes of balls out intervals on the bike. I’m doing a “recomp” right now. I plan on getting a little leaner by doing cardio, eating cleaner, and walking a lot. The past 8 weeks I just lifted and ate a lot and went from 255 to 275. I really don’t want to go on a cut for awhile because all my lifts have been coming up nicely.
