Goals:
My ultimate goal would be to weigh 200 lbs of fairly lean natural muscle (at a sustainable bodyfat, like ~10%). Of course, this is very far from happening, but I don't mind it. I don't know if my body is capable of holding this much mass, but if it is, I don't care how much time it's gonna take, but I'm going to reach this goal.
My other goals go hand in hand with the first one as they are strength related and we all know the very strong correlation between strength and muscle mass. I want to be able to bench the 100 lbs dumbbells, deadlift 3 plates a side, parallel squat 2 plates a side, barbell shoulder press 1 plate a side, and row the 100 lbs dumbbells, all for reps.
Now, these goals are pretty far away, so I need smaller objectives to help me keep my motivation throughout this journey. You don't climb a mountain by jumping from the base to the summit; you take one step at a time, and that's what I'm going to do. I will keep track of my weight progress by weighing myself every sunday morning before breakfast, and I'll keep track of my strength by noting everything I lift right here.
My short term weight goals will be to gain ~2 lbs per month.
My short term strength goals will be to improve on the number of reps I do or the weight I use on each of my main exercises for each workout.

The Program
I'm following a 2 day split and train 4 times a week. This way I hit everything twice per week, instead of only once with a traditional bodybuilding approach where you split everything on more days.
Day 1: Upper legs, back, biceps, calves
Day 2: Pecs, shoulders, triceps, abs
