I’ve never ran a training log on AM, and since we’re stuck in quarantine currently, I figured now would be a good time.
My goal currently is to just keep progressing on lifts. More focused on size then strength, but they’re correlated so why not bring both up. My workouts are more hypertrophic-based, but since I’m using a home gym which is focused around a power rack, I’ve been doing a lot more compound lifts in a lower rep range. I used to do a lot of powerlifting in college, and while I was relatively strong, I didn’t have a great body comp - at least it wasn’t where I wanted it to be. Since college, I’ve focused a lot more on higher reps and I found I respond significantly better. Looking back, I’m sure I was also guilty of ego-lifting, which hurts progress.
Anyway, here’s what I’m planning for this log.
I split my training into 4 different workouts, and hit each muscle at least 2x weekly. The core of each workout is below:
Day A: Deadlifts
Day B: Bench
Day C: Shoulder Press
Day D: Squat
Day A/C has a focus on back, shoulders, and triceps.
Day B/D has a focus on legs, chest, and biceps.
I’m about 180lbs, 5’10”.
Calories are around 200-300 above maintenance right now. Some days less some days more.
