Start Date: Monday December 1st, 2008.
I'm coming back from 5 weeks of inactivity as a result of injuries sustained from our last two Rugby matches in October. The following will be my Journey through 36 weeks of preparation for my last season of Rugby for Rowan University. This routine is based off of a plan from my fraternity brother Z-Cock, a strength and conditioning specialist. The first 10 Weeks will be alternating mix and match of Endurance and Hypertrophy exercise rep and recovery ranges. The first goal will be to increase my overall fitness base and cardiovascular level. During which I will be eating a relatively clean diet at a slight caloric deficit to drop down to a slimmer weight before I start adding lean mass. Protein intake will be ~200g. Start Weight is 205.2. Let the Journey Begin...

Holy Hell this short recovery crap kicked my ass.
Skipped the 2nd Mile because we had an indoor soccer game so I didn't want to completely drain myself. Lower half tomorrow, can't wait to see how much my leg's have atrophied.

The plan looks good. You've obviously given it a lot of thought, and you have some good guidance.

Training for specific sports goal is always different than straight bodybuilding or powerlifting, so hardhit71's advice of keeping those goals in mind is right on the money.

Heh. I sympathize, truly -- I'm 4 months back in the gym after 2 years off for a back injury and surgery, and I look at some of the weights I'm using, as compared to what I used to use, and I get real frustrated.

But then I remember a motto given to me by an old First Sergeant of mine when I was a Motor Pool officer -- after one of the mechanics dropped an engine on his foot and we lost time getting ready for an inspection.

"F.I.D.O.: Fuck it. Drive on"

Sometimes that's all you can do.

the workouts look really intense and solid. keep up the good work bro, and good luck!

The thing I had to my advantage today is that the entire gym was empty at school. I set up the weight on Squat, Dead and Press prior to getting started. I literally hit each set of 12 with an exact minute break in between, I was absolutely spent. The minute break will stay constant between sets and exercises til I hit my next phase. In case you were wondering my weeks are and will be:

December 1st Endurance 2x20 20 Sec Recovery
December 8th Endurance 3x20 20 Sec Recovery
December 15th Taper 1 Set Recovery
December 22nd Hypertrophy Week 1 8 Sets of 12
December 29th Hypertrophy Week 2 10 Sets of 12

Then it'll cycle back to a variant of that starting in Jan. I'll post it up when the times comes. Until then, thanks for the support brothers, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah, and "Festvius for the rest of us" haha.

Happy Holidays to you and yours as well. To be honest my knowledge of recovery and the science behind it is limited at best. My fraternity brother, affectionately known as "The Ineffable Lord Z-Cock the Pussy Slayer" or just Z for short was two years older than me growing up here in our small hometown. He graduated Rowan as a HES major, got several Personal Training certs and then got his Strength and Conditioning Specialist certification last year. I basically just ask him what to do and how to do it and roll with the punches.

Here's what I get to look forward to in the month of Jan:

January 5th Hypertrophy Taper Week 1 60-75% of weight, same 8sets for 12 reps per muscle group.
January 12th Endurance Week 1 3x20 20 Sec Recovery
January 19th Endurance Week 2 2x15 20 Sec Recovery
January 26th Endurance Week 3 2x15 20 Sec Recovery

Gonna do a cycle of Stak to help boost the test levels for all the benefits. Looking forward to the results. I'll compare the first two weeks of endurance from the start of my program to the last two weeks of this Endurance set to judge the difference. So it'll be Pak, Stak, & Omega.

You may be asking why the big decrease in mile time. Well like a jackass I fucked up the calculations. Turns out 11 laps on the outside or 12 on the inside lanes of our indoor track is a mile...not 10 on the outside and 11 on the inside. So none of my previous runs or times were correct. I was pissed at myself, but hey fuck it, can't cry over shit you can't change. Learned my lesson, corrected my mistake and now I just need to bear down and work harder on the cardio. Obviously I've got some catching up to do.

Holy hell I can't walk. I tried the pre-exhaust on the legs and mother of God could I feel the difference. That being said I also went up 20 pounds heavier on Squat because I felt 185 wasn't challenging me enough. 205 felt a lot tougher but I still was able to gut it out even after pre-exhausting I was able to get through it. Taper week is next week so when I switch over to hypertrophy, I'm definitely going to start somewhere north of 225 and keep banging it out till I pass out afterwards or puke.

Weighed in today at 213.2. Gonna guesstimate a high at 20% BF. Next paycheck I'll have the Rec Center at school give me the actual percentage. Shame they don't allow students to use the Water Displacement test in the Education building as I've heard its the most accurate way to access one's BF.

The stack has definitely started kicking in. I'm hungry all the goddamn time so I keep feeding about every 2-3 hours. And I feel so focused with between M-Stak, Pump and Shock Therapy. I feel like its still coursing through me for 3-4 hours. I legit get done cardio and on the drive home I feel like I'm still wide awake. But then 5 minutes after I get out of a nice hot shower I'm out cold. I love these supps so far.

After a piss-tacular performance by us as a whole we managed to eek out a 7-6 win. Our inside center broke off a nice run to the left side for the try. Only shitty thing being he downed the ball 3 meter away from the left end line. Talk about a shitty angle. I kicked the go-ahead conversion with 10 minutes left and we managed to hold on for the win. A lot of work to be done during the weeks to come before our next game. Time's a wasting.

We had the NJ State Cup Tournament this weekend.
Knocked off Princeton in the Semi's but lost to Willy P in the finals.
All in all not a bad showing from a team that was self coached the first two years of its existence. I feel pain absolutely everywhere, but its the price for achievement. Not to mention I scored my first career Try this weekend along with racking up another conversions.

Holy Hell I am beyond spent. No amount of sleep or glut will have me not hurting.

Seated Calf Raises 255x12
Ab-Duction 190x12

Sprinting before hand definitely took at toll on my squats and if it weren't for good music on the I-Pod I wouldn't have cracked 800 on the Leg Press. Legs haven't hurt like that in a while. Guess that means they plan on growing.

Holy, fucking, hell. I haven't done the power segment in over a year and a half. I finished up and I am feeling completely exhausted. Excited though because I've won myself a bout with Project C. Can't wait to see how its gonna work.

I got a solid 9 hours of sleep and when I tried to get out of the bed, it was not fun. Haven't hit the core that hard since before the season started. Everything else just the normal "haven't done that lift in a while" pain. Went for a light jog in the am. Cooked all the meals for the day been at work since 12, will be here til 8. Head out to the closest field with goal posts and kick for a bit. Then relax with some Halo 3 and sip on some EAA stack til the gf gets over later tonight.

High Pull and Push Pull both went up. More me getting familiar with the moments again versus the weight. I'm swallowing the ego trying to keep the form and explosiveness of the rep versus pushing up biggest numbers. Still waiting on Project C

Feel like the body is adapting to the new movements. Feeling much more confident. Hopefully at long last today Project C will arrive at my door. Gym early tomorrow then off to the Bronx for Yanks-Phils.

Back again in here after a month. Had a nice run with Project C. Def go grab it if your looking to drop some weight and recomposition your body. I went from a little over 221 down to 212.

I'm now it the middle of Hybrid training as my bro calls it. Combination of power exercises and strength training M,W,F. I wake up earlier on T,R,S and do 30-45 min of cardio, Sunday is complete rest.

I had a buddy at the gym analyze my form on several exercises to see whether or not I was cheating. As it turns out, I was sacrificing my form in order to put up bigger numbers. Big no-no. Therefore some of the weights you'll see me using will have dropped reasonably from my Project C log for the sake of form.

Monday I woke up, downed M-Stak, cooked breakfast watched sports center waiting for it to digest, took my Pump and the stim from M-Stak with two tea spoons of Eaa Stack preworkout. Intra I sipped on a combo of a teaspoon of Eaa Stack and a scoop of Intra Aid. Finished it off with 48g of whey & 10 grams of glut. From on my supp log for lifting days looks like:

M-Stak- Upon Waking
Pak - Breakfast
Flex - Lunch
Omega - Dinner
Zma - Bed
Preworkout - Pump + M-Stak Stim Pill + 2 Teaspoons Eaa Stack
Intra - 1 Teaspoon Eaa Stack + 1 scoop Intra Aid

Start weight is at 215. Lets get it re-started.

I normally just stand in a shower for about 20 minutes with the hottest water I can stand to stretch out in. Needless to say I have no problem falling asleep early. This is the last week of these workouts. Body is telling me to move on, not feeling like I'm experiencing the muscle confusion anymore. Gonna be switching it up big time after I do a week of active recovery.

Time to make up for the slacking on the updates. Here come the last 2 weeks. I finished up 5 weeks of hybrid training. Have been cycling Through the other stages. Did Endurance last week and have been doing Hypertrophy this week. Will go back to strength next week before I'm off to Colombia for 2 weeks. While there I'll be doing a lot of cardio. Need to take advantage of the high altitude to give me a leg up for the coming Rugby Season.

Looked good, bro. What's next?

Well for now I'm going to be visiting my grandmother in Colombia til the 15. I'm looking forward to getting up in the mountains for cardio. If you ever thought it was hell try it at over a mile up. Won't have access to weights while I'm there so I'll have to rely on tr old school staples of pushups situps pullups and body squats. I plan on really upping the cardio. Figure that once I get back I should he in pretty good cardivascular shape. Then it will be te to start a new journey as the season will be upon me.
