Started a new training routine a few days ago. Currently training with my bro Staudt.

Stats:
Age: 20
Height: ~5'10''
Weight: ~185
Bodyfat: 10%ish
Bench: 265x1
Deadlift: 425x1
Squat: 425x1

I have been lifting about 2 years but have got much more serious in the last year. Planning on blowing these old maxes away in the next month or two. My diet pretty much consists of me eating as much as I feel like which turns out to be about 6 meals a day. I really only eat "whole", quality foods (eggs, lean meat, fish, whole carbs, fruits, vegetables, etc.).

As far as supplements go I have been taking Animal Pak everyday for the last 3 or 4 months and love it. For the next few months I will be supplementing with Pak, Flex, and either Shock/Storm or Pump.

Training:
1. Squat, Hams, Calves, Biceps
2. Off
3. Bench w/bands, Tris, Abs
4. Off
5. Deadlifts, Upper back, Biceps, Calves
6. Off
7. Incline Bench, Shoulders, Tris, Abs
8. Off

I hit all the lifts listed first really hard, and don't see a need for doing additional exercises for those body parts. I hit these major exercises doing 6,5,4,3,2,1,1 reps usually. My body has responded well to this kind of training in the past and I love pushing for higher weight each week. Ill post my lifts and thoughts here after training sessions and we will see how this turns out.
