Started in Feb 2006 fat at 176 lbs to be exact. Joined a boxing gym and ate about 2000-2500 calories somewhat clean and dropped down to 150 lbs. I then continued boxing but added heavy lifting eventually hitting 155-163 lbs with a max deadlift of 405, max bench of 245, and max squat of 295. Fast forward to present as of 1/8/13 I am about 180-185 lbs with a max bench of 275 lbs. I have not maxed my deadlift or squats since then but I am sure it is a lot higher than my max when I was in the 155 range. I will try to post daily of my workout routine. But overall my schedule is as follows: Mon- Back/biceps Tues - Chest/triceps Wed - Legs/Core (abs, deadlifts, squats etc.) Thurs - Shoulder/Biceps Fri - Full body workout ((chest/back/legs but lighter weights) Sat - Full body workout (chest/back/legs but lighter weights) Sun - Rest Additionally, Mon-Sat I will be doing boxing again for 1-1.5 hours every evening. My lifting is every afternoon while at my work at the onsite gym at 11am-12pm.

Nice and steady progress! Have you ever thought about doing a strength routine? I'm sure your numbers would shoot up.
Thank you sir! My goal is to reach 170 so I can be a bit faster and *MAYBE* look into getting back in amateur boxing.
Any suggestions or new routines to look into? When I was a newbie I basically did a 5x5 Set focusing on the big 3 doing Chest/Legs/Back working out on M/W/F. Fast forward today thats the routine I use M-Sat workouts, Sun off. Back/Chest/Legs/Shoulders 4 day split and the other 2 days being "light" full body workouts. I am open to suggestions though, thank you for your time and comments!
