Ok first off i'd like to say its the first time ive visited the s/p forum. I finally started to take advantage of the training log here and get more serious about being in the gym. Heres a little background about myself. My senior year i was an allstar R/B and safety in highschool, should of continued in college but i decided to get to work instead since i got a good job. I always have been a naturally strong athletic person, but after highschool i stopped going to the gym and went from a solid 185LB ball of muscle, to a lazy slob bloated around 220. I started hitting the gym again in May 2007 so its been almost a year since i've been back at it.
My first goal was to establish a diet and drop the weight. By august due to intense cardio i was down to my lightest weight ever, 158. From that point on my strength training began.
My recent stats are:
Age: 20
Height: 6'2"
Reach: 78"
Weight: 180LBs
Lifts:
Bench 200x5
Squat 275x5
Routine:
Day 1-Chest Day 2-Rest or legs Day3-Arms Day4-rest Day5-back Day6- cardio repeat
I'm almost back to my old physique, my abs are well defined, arm are toned, broad shoulders, defined legs.
My overall goal is to gain another 10-20Lbs of muscle- more upper body and arms, and drop a small amount of fat since i've slowed down on the cardio.
I'm a newb when it comes to strength training. I've never been taught anything, everything ive learned has come from watching or reading so bear with me and any help is greatly appreciated. I'm heading to the gym now to work the chest so i'll update the log when im back on how my lifts went
edit-fixed my routine, was in a rush when i first wrote it
