I think its time I start logging my progress in a bit more public way. I'm not going to put down all the specifics because I have all that in files and notebooks at home, instead I'm going to log what I'm going through and hoping I can get the motivation to get there.

My goal is to break my plateaus and get bigger than I ever was. I have my Max measurements and pictures from a a little while ago and will be comparing with them. I never was huge but think I had good size.

I stopped lifting at the end of July when My garage started being built and Flag football started. I felt overwelmed and thought that a break would do me good. That break lasted a little too long. I lost a lot of size but On Oct 14th I decided It was time to start lifting again.

Week 1 - Oct 12th
I decided on the following split:
Sun - Back
Mon - Nothing
Tues - Chest/Shoulder
Wednes - Core/legs/calves
Thurs - Biceps/Triceps
Fri - Rest
Sat - Rest

I was on travel status for work for 3 weeks so I bought a 1 month membership to the gym next to the hotel. I usually work at home but was excited to be able to use all the equipment that I usually couldn't

That week I was extremely sore every day.

Week 2 - Oct 19th
Changed things up a bit:
Sun - Back/shoulders
Mon - Core
Tues - Chest
Wednes - legs/calves
Thurs - Biceps/Triceps
Fri - Rest
Sat - Rest

I drank an AMP energy drink (Grape-endurance) an hour before I hit the gym on Sunday because I had been lazy all day and feeling really unmotivated. I was ammazed at my pullups and strength through it.

Had mild soreness through the week except for my Quads. Man they hurt. I knew they would because I could barely walk up the stairs when I got back from the gym

Week 3
Shifted everything a day because I was home on sunday and busy but back on travel on monday. Friday I was back home working in the "home gym"
Sun - Rest
Mon - Back/shoulders
Tues - Core
Wed - Chest
Thurs - legs/calves
Fri - Biceps/Triceps
Sat - Rest

Barely any soreness this week. was getting sick of going to the gym. The socialiser, the teen punks and the Flirty cougars were annoying as hell. was looking forward to getting back into the basement.

I'll update more later,
