Hey first time checkin out the site and making a thread. Gonna post up my training logs, thoughts, diet etc...
So I'm 165 6'0 7% bf.. Working to make serious size gains.. Had a broken foot in october to November but coming back strong.
I have been a lot of diets but the one I'm doing now is really working for me.
Sticking with a meat/fat based organic (or non gmo) diet, I eat a lot of starches for heavy days pre and after but shoot for low carb typically.. Some days I carb the fuck up.
So for my program it isn't something seriously strict I usually go for a big lift every day on and do auxiliary supporting muscle group exercises/corrective exercises.
A good back/leg day for me would look like
Foam roll, Warm up with supinated rear delt raises and supinated dumbbell rows at 10 lbs for 35 reps each
Then warming up with DB stiff legged deads with 25 lb for 20 reps.
I usually jump straight into the big stuff.
Supinated snatch grip stiff legged Deadlift 12-12-15-12 (95-125-135-150)
Supinated wide grip bent over row 18-15-12-12 (65-85-125-125)
Lunges 15-15 (20 lbs)
Sumo glute ham raise 25-25-25-25
Wide grip supinated lat pull down 18-18-12-12 (70-70-100-100)
Supinated T rear flys 12-12-12 (10-10-10)
Seated dual pad leg curl 12-12-12 (60-60-60)
Trap bar shrugs 12-12-12 (95-95-95)
So usually it's been about hour and a half and I'm cooked and gotta walk home.
I will cook and eat right as I get home, I'm not supplementing protein at the moment, typically use a undenatured organic source such as Raw meal, living fuel, grass fed non pasteurized whey.. My meal will consists of heavy meat, 1/3-1/2 lb. chicken, turkey, beefalo, liver, heart, cow, lamb, pork, salmon.. Whatever I have, I try to rotate food every meal. So I will do that with some vegetables like red or green kale, carrots, onions, beets, celery, cauliflower, broccoli... I'll add legumes or potatoes for carbs and sometimes rice. Lately I have been liking black, garbanzo and pinto beans with yukon gold or red potatoes mixed with basmati white or jasmine rice..
After the meal it's just studying, hanging out listening to metal with the boys, watching people compete, doing art or going to work.
So that's it! Just a little overview of a day for me, I love studying exercise, I'm a kinesiology student and every minute out of the gym I focus on bringing myself to growing mentally and physically for my own life and to help others succeed if I can. I look forward to stickin around the forum and making something of this thread, hopefully you fellas enjoy reading.
