Saturday: 3-17-07

Being a member of this Forvm and having brothers in the Legion has been a great experience... I love the fact that no matter what age, race, or area we are all brothers in iron... I have been training since I was 17... I discovered bodybuilding when I got my first weight set... To me that was the beggining of my journey!!! Ten years later I still love it and I think I will live it till the day I die!!! I have been logging my journey in a notebook,but I think its time for me to share it with my brothers.... I'll definitely keep you in tuned with my upcoming splits..... Lift strong and Lift Hard!!!!

Workouts look great...one thing I may suggest with your chest day if thats ok? You have db flys (I am assuming flat bench) and cable flys..I would switch the db flys to incline flys and stick with the cable flys on the pulleys (since your doing pec dec already too), try them with the handles (or without handles is how I prefer to do them), on the low pulley as well.

Hey Sis,
Thanks for the cool tip will give that a try next time... I forgot to put that the DB flyes are inclined and I will try to work in the low pulley as well....
