OFFSEASON LOG
So with my season coming to an end soon I thought I would start my log up for the entire off season. I had another log that I started a while ago to get ideas for what supplements to buy for the offseason, but this is the official log. I will continue this log all the way til August and I am hoping for this to be one of the most detailed and popular logs on AM. If you guys didn’t know, I play college football and primarily tight end. Last offseason was characterized by injury, setbacks and meeting almost none of my goals and I wish for this offseason to be drastically different. This season has gone pretty well for me so far, ive made the travel squad every week, but by no means am I near where I feel I should be. I tore my hamstring last February lifting like an idiot and it ruined my entire offseason and conditioning for football this year. Because of the injury and having to go through so much physical therapy to repair it I came into camp in absolutely horrible shape. I work extremely hard and last year it seemed to be my demise. I tried to hit a 600 deadlift and tore my hammy and got a hernia all in one day. My body didn’t represent my hard work in August and I NEVER want that to happen again.
LAST OFFSEASON WORKOUT PROGRAM:
Last year I shattered my jaw in the second week of the season and needed surgery to repair it. Consequently I lost 40 pounds and spent 3 months trying to get it back along with my strength. Once I accomplished this I kept pushing harder and harder until I started getting pretty big. I kept pushing harder and harder until I went from 180 to 225 and then I couldn’t stop myself. I lifted way too much and didn’t take days off for months. On February 14 I tore my hamstring completely and got a hernia attempting a 600 dead. I kept lifting on the hammy because frankly I had lost my mind and got hooked on pushing myself. The hernia started to bulge real bad and I hit a reality check and realized I needed surgery. This injury ruined my body and I was unable to run until two weeks before season
THIS OFFSEASON:
Obviously I don’t wana make the same mistakes as last year and I plan on lifting heavier way less and taking plenty of time off and listening to my body because you grow when u rest not when u lift. I’m planning on running 2-3 times a week with a focus on agility and speed. Ill probably lift 5 times a week and I think im gonna start off with substituting front squat for back squat. I will also try and run routes two times a week with my roommate who is a QB. My lifts are kind of weird and my routine isn’t like anything you’ve probably seen but u guys will get the hang of it and the idea behind it. Some of its body building stuff, some of its Olympic lifting but mostly its athletic based functional stuff. Last year I lifted heavy way to much and I really don’t wana go over 400 on any squats or lifts.
NUTRITION:
This part I need a lot of help with. I wana weigh somewhere between 225 and 245 for next season. I haven’t really decided yet on what kind of role I wana play. I don’t eat candy, dessert, cheese, fried foods or anything particurly fattening. I never drink soda or alcohol and stay away from high sugar drinks aside from pre and post workout. My diet is fairly clean, but im in college and I have to consume a lot of food to keep my weight up. I really need some help on dieting and when to eat what and such
SUPPLEMENTS:
I am going to break the log up into phases with different goals and supplements and as it is now my first phase is basically a recovery phase from football to get my legs back so they can lift hard. The first phase is going to consist of creatine mono, alcar, RPM, osteo sport and then cissus, Ginseng, Beta alanine, mutli vitamin, citruline malate, xtend and scivation/ optimum protein powder. I haven’t entirely decided how to dose everything just yet but ill show that later. The second phase is for when my body gets in tune. The first phase will last anywhere from 4-8 weeks and the second will be for four weeks. The second phase is gonna consist of mass fx, rpm and ATD and aPCT or reversitol. I haven’t decided on this but I want to control estrogen and keep my body safe from gyno.
If there is any supplement anyone wants me to run, just let me know your ideas or thoughts. Ive recently run a log of Osteo Sport from AN and it was awesome!!!
GOALS:
1. Get and stay healthy
2. Speed/ agility
3. Endurance- Mile time sub 6:00 (possible?? At 235)
4. Strength- Get huge!!
5. Lower Body fat
6. Increase weight
7. 300+ Clean
8. 350 Bench (huge goal)
9. Maintain squat ( last year was 500)
Body Weight: 225-240 haven’t decided yet on a goal
Mile: sub 6:00
40: 4.70
START OF LOG: The log may start as soon as Sunday. We have a playoff game Saturday at home. Ive missed the last two weeks on account of a hamstring injury in my good hamstring and im going to try and play this week. Hopefully this doesn’t damage my hammy any further, im gonna try and take it easy. Id appreciate any help or advice or comments on anything… thanks guys!!!!
I will post pics as soon as the off season starts and will entertain you guys with my lifts that severly deteriorated over season. Also ill post the stats, measurements and thoughts.....etc....ect...
