Vic's Layer Log!

Training Logs
1

So, I’ve finally decided to start a log here since I don’t take the time to write things down on paper (and I’m always here on T-Nation).

Anyways, I just recovered from a minor lower back injury so I haven’t been in the gym in a couple of weeks. Here are my stats just before I hurt myself.

Age: 18
Height: 6’1"
Weight: 175 lbs
(I’m converting from kg and cm, for the record)

Maxes:
ATG High Bar Squat: 250 lbs
Parallel Squat: 330 lbs
Front Squat: 230 lbs
Push press: 175 lbs
Low Incline Bench Press: 210 lbs
Flat Bench Press: 230 lbs
Power Clean: 200 lbs
SGHP: 230 lbs
Conventional Deadlift: 340 lbs (this was ~4 months ago, don’t do heavy deads anymore)

Don’t really know what they’ll be like now that I’m coming back, but we’ll see.

Anyways, the routine I’m gonna do:
Push/Pull/Legs/Push/Pull/Legs/Rest, repeat.

Pushing workouts: Low Incline, Decline Bench Press or Push Press.
Pulling workouts: Power Cleans or SGHP.
Leg workouts: ATG High Bar Squats, Front Squats or (maybe) Deadlifts.

The workouts will mainly start with ramping to a 1-5RM, then density work, and finish with loaded carries and chins+dips.
(Except for an occasional Quadruple Strength Layer).

Will attach images soon. The log will probably start in two days.
