I have decided to throw up a lifting log for the summer. Since I will have a little more free time, I figured why not! Also, I want to throw it up because booneman77 was nice enough to send me his PPL/PHAT template which I will be following. I am only going to make slight alterations such as the days I train each muscle, the exercise selection, and I will probably add in some extra sets for calves.
So, before I get into the lifting and nutrition aspect, I am going to talk about what's going on right now in my personal life. I am finish long term subbing today. The teacher I am subbing for is coming back from maternity leave on Monday. I may be used as a regular sub, but we'll have to see if I will be needed. In the mean time, I am going to be working at BJ's Wholesale Club and I am looking for another summer job. I love to work, I hate being bored. I am also looking for a permit teaching job for next year. I applied to all jobs in my state and have started looking outside my state. That is what I am doing right now with my life. I will take you along with me on doctors appointments too, which there will be plenty this summer.
My lifting history is as follows. I started lifting at 18. I lost 70 pounds between my freshmen and sophomore year of high school, but got the itch to lift when I graduated. I planned on competing in a bodybuilding show August 2012, but was hospitalized for a heart transplant in July 2012. I started lifting 6 weeks post surgery. I was about 135 pounds when I started lifting again. I was about 175 when I was hospitalized.
Long term goals are to compete. Right now, I want to essentially lean bulk. That way, when time comes to cut, I will not have to for an extended period of time. I know that means it will take me longer to get to where I want to be, but oh well. This is a marathon, not a sprint.
My lifting schedule will look like this:
Sunday - Pull Hyper
Monday - Push Power
Tuesday - Legs Hyper
Wednesday - OFF
Thursday - Pull Power
Friday - Push Hyper
Saturday - Legs Power
I am going to start this Sunday. I may switch the push with the pull, what do you all think? This is my first time following a PPL routine. I may do cardio on Wednesday. I usually do one HIIT session each week, but think that is a bad idea while lifting six times per week. If I do cardio, it will be LISS 20-30 minutes. On my off day, I will definitely do ab work and mobility work.
As far as my diet, I carb cycle. I have two low days, two high days, and three moderate days. I will go more into this when I start the log.
Supplements I will be using are:
CreMax
PES Select
Animal Whey
Orange Triad
Oxiomega
NOW Vitamin C-1000
NOW Vitamin D - 5,000
NOW Probiotic 25 million
Primaforce LCLT
Animal Juiced Aminos
Samples of pre workouts - I have a lot of samples and coming off a stim break and I have a bunch of samples I need to get rid of.
I will also be adding in Myokem Magnitropin and Alphadex. I will be logging those and will have a separate thread for that.
I am coming off a deload so this should be interesting!
