Just finished a competition and a cycle of PheraVol, and wanted to have something obsessive to do now that dieting is over, so why not keep a log? This is my first log. The following is my split:

Sunday- Rest
Monday- Chest, Tris, Shoulders, squats/legpress.
Tuesday- Back, Bis, Traps
Wednesday- Legs
Thursday- Chest, Tris, Shoulders
Friday- Back, Bis, Traps
Saturday- Rest

Diet:
300 grams of Protein
7 meals (one atleast every 2.5 hours)
3000-3500 calories/day
Pretty much eat what I want.
Post workout shake: 1 scoop whey, 20oz. skim milk, 3 scoops of gatorrade powder, 5 grams of creatine (460 calories, 43 grams of protein, 69 grams of carbs)

Supps:
Fish Oil
Multivitamin
ALA
Creatine Monohydrate

post cycle therapy Stuff: Powerfull, Restore, Cissus, Anabolic Pump, Milk Thistle, Clomid.

Now that contest prep is done with, I will be focusing on strength. Kinda like a powerlifting routine. I cannot do barbell bench press due to an injury, but I can do dips. So dips will replace bench press. I will focus on the big 3 (dips, squats, and deadlift) on M-W-F. Tuesday/Thursday will probably be lighter, with higher reps, unless I see progress going heavy everyday. I plan on progressing in some way every workout, whether it is weight or reps. If you noticed, I do legs on Monday and Wednesday. I just noticed that doing squats twice a week helped my legs grow more than anything. And for me, one day apart is enough time for recovering and making gains.

So, here are some stats:

Height: 5'5"
Weight: 152 (contest) 162? (current)
Bf %: <10%

So here is today's workout. I took it easy on my diet and lifting last week. Just went in the gym to get a pump, and only ate 6 meals a day. Today I bumped my meals back up to 7/day and began training heavy again.

Weighted Dips: 90lbx5, 100x4, 110x3, 120x2
-This was extremely easy. I will likely start with the 120lb dumbell hanging from the chain on Thursday or next Monday.

Close Grip Bench Press on Hammer Strength: 3 plates/side for 3 sets of 5.
-I dont know how much this equates to, but it was easy.

Decline Skull Crushers: 90x12, 100x10, 110x8
-Pretty easy until the last few reps of the last set.

Cable Side Raises: 50x8, 40x12, 30x16
-Easy. Add reps next time.

Leg Press: 610x12, 700x10, 790x6
-Kinda died on the last set. Depth is as good as it can get.

Pec Deck Flies: 165x12, 180x10, 195x8

Dumbell Front Raises: 40s x 24

Seated calve raises: 170x30, 200x30, 230x30.
-Calves suck, so I hit them 3x/week.

Pretty good for a first day back going heavy. I actually felt great and I expect to make some good gains now that I am eating more.

Tomorrow is back, bis, and traps. No deadlift tomorrow. That's friday.
 
Tuesday: Back, Bis, Traps.

Pretty good workout today. Went in a little later than normal and didnt feel as energized. I just need to get used to it I guess.

Close Grip Pull Downs: 180x12, 195x10, 210x6
-Didnt take enough time between 2nd and 3rd set. Should have weighted longer but my brother rushed me. lol

Stirrup Grip Pull Down: 180x12
-Brother wanted me to try these. Felt different. Uses an extremely close grip and involves more biceps. I will use these on my DL days.

Wide Grip Pull Down: 105x12
-Just messing around. My shoulder injury doesnt allow me to do this without much pain.

Close Grip Cable Row: Stack x 20, stack+15x16, stack+25x12.
-Easy. I just like the motion. Seems to target my lats and upper back the best of any rows.

Under Hand Cable Rows: 150x20
-Just wanted to get a little more pump.

Straight Front Lat Press Downs: 140x20, 160x16, 180x12
-Hope you all know what these are. Basically the same movement as DB pullovers but done standing.

Alternating DB curls: 50s x 16, 45s x 20, 40s x 24

Alternating Cable Curls: 16, 20, 24.
-Cant remember the weight. I feel this in my bis better than anything else. I stand to where the cables are slightly behind my body to get the best possible ROM.

Machine Shrugs: 4 plates/side, 4 sets of 20.

DB Hammer Curls: 30s x 40.
-Burn out set

Cable Wrist Curls w/stirrups: 2 sets of 20 on each hand.

So, today I did 12 sets for back, 3 for traps, and 7 for bis.

Legs tomorrow. Back to squatting heavier. This will be a slow process. Should be fun!
 
OK, first heavy squat day in months was today, and really, it wasnt anything to call heavy. Man, I have lost a lot of strength. Just taking it easy today, but it was hard:

Barbell Squats (ATG): 273x3, 315x2
-275 was easy, as I expected, but 315 killed me. Remember kids, hack squatting is no substitute for barbell squatting.

Leg Press: 790x7, 700x10, 610x12, 430x20
-Not too hard. The first set was difficult, seeing as how I missed my last rep.

Lying Leg Curls: 130x8, 110x12, 90x16

Leg Extension: 170x16, 210x12

Seated Calf Raises: 3 sets of 170x30.

Probably will be sore tomorrow. Hopefully I can get my squat back to where it was before I started cutting for the competition.
 
Thursday: Chest, Tris, Shoulders.

Dips: 120x5, 120x5, 120x7
-Felt a little saucy on the last set, so I went max effort.

-Missed my 2nd rep on 4 plates/side.

Incline Neutral Grip DB Press: 45x8, 60x8, 80x8.
-Hadnt done incline presses in over a year due to injury. The neutral grip doesnt hurt my shoulders. I will be using the 100s+ in no time.

DB Side Raises: 35s x 16, 40s x 12, 45s x 8

Flat Skull Crushers: 120x7
-Not quite up to old form.

V bar Tricep Press Down: stack x 12, stack+7.5 x 8, 150 x 20

DB Front Raises: 60s x 5(each side), 40s x 12 (same time on both sides.

Pretty good. The food is treating me well. I will weigh myself tomorrow and see how much I have gained two weeks after my comp and one week of hard lifting.
 
OK, didnt get much sleep this weekend, so I was worried about my performance in the gym. Boy, was I wrong..lol

Dips: 130x5 for 3 sets
-Easy. Only weighed 165 today, so my bodyweight in addition to my bodyweight for reps is on the horizon.

Neutral Grip Incline DB Press: 80s x 8, 90s x 6, 100s x 4
-The DBs are harder to balance using this grip and the lift if just harder overall, but I am just glad to be pressing again.

Cable Side Raises: 50x12, 40x16, 30x20
-More weight next time.

Decline Skull Crushers: 100x12, 110x10, 120x8
