I love planning everything ahead, so here are my New Years Resolutions for 06.
1- Learn to cope with having narcolepsy better.
2- To gain a redicolous amount of muscle.
Here is my plan for 06!
2006 Weightlifting Routines:
January And February: Full Body Split #1 (to try and gain strength and gain muscle during the season)
March (1st half of the month): 4-Day Split #1 (to start to get ready for serious weight gain after the season. I might have 1 playoff game each week,
so my schedule me be a little off, otherwise I would start Quatro Dynamo instead.)
March (2nd half of the month) And 1st Week Of April: Chad Waterbury’s Quatro Dynamo (to start gaining some serious weight. I’ve
never done a split like this before, so hopefully it will shock my body)
The rest of April and May: 4 Day Split #2 (working each body part twice a week to try and gain a considerable amount of weight.)
[b]June: 5 Day Split (working each body part once a week to recover from the heavy workloads in my last two splits and
with an emphasis on losing bodyfat. I have a fast metabolism, so one month is plenty of time for me to cut.)
[b]July And August: I will leave this one up in the air. I will do whatever mass building split has worked the best for me in the first half of 2006 to
end the summer.
September All The Way To January 07!: I will either repeat some of the other splits from the first half of 06 if they worked,
or try something new! I don’t want to overplan ahead of time
