Honestly I've been eating whatever I want for the most part. Pizza and chicken nuggets are staples of my diet, lol... I've been doing cardio 3-4x/week though, so I've been able to stay around 8% bf.

Good workout today... 10x10 on leg press is always fun. I had a lower back in injury in Oct of last year that kept me off work for a month, ever since then I've been slowly building my strength back up. My strength was way down on anything that puts stress on the lower back (deads/squats/etc) and I've had to be really careful while building back up. I'm back to normal on pretty much everything else though, and I do alot more core work now than I did in the past.

Off or maybe some light cardio tomorrow, then Chest/Shoulders.

Good workout today... like I mentioned before I'm still building my lower back strength back up from a back injury last October. It was diagnosed as a slipped disc based on initial x-rays but the doc revised it based on my recovery and it was changed to strained ligaments. My lower back is still the weak link in my posterior chain, but its getting better. Power cleans went well, no lower back issues at all. Pairing them up with pullups/chinups makes for a fun little circuit. I like to keep moving in the gym and rarely do an exercise by itself anymore. Finished off with some BB shrugs, cable rows/pulldowns, and straight arm lat pulldowns. Off day tomorrow, then Arms.

Good leg workout w/ some cardio aspects thrown in. I've been slowly bumping the weight up on squats, and I've been using things like supersets and decreased rest times to get a good leg workout without putting too much stress on my lower back. Jumping rope is an easy way to keep my heart rate up and work my calves a little at the same time.

Great chest/shoulder workout this morning... strength/endurance were way up. I haven't gone over 275 on incline bench in awhile, so I'm pretty happy with 3x3 w/ 295. I breezed through some machine presses and shoulder presses, and I still had alot in the tank for weighted dips and DB laterals. Its been a looooong time since I went over 2 plates on dips, mainly because of my shoulders, but I had no issues with them today and 3 plates felt great. Back workout tomorrow...

Also, my weight has been 204-206 the past few days... starting weight was 200-202, so it will be interesting to see what my bf% is at the end of this log.

Great chest/shoulder workout this morning... did some heavy (for me) doubles and they went really well. Unracking with no spotter was the toughest part, but my shoulders held up okay. Weighted dips felt good, 3 plates for 12 is close to PR strength for me so I'm happy with that. Finished off with machine chest press and smith upright rows. Back tomorrow!
