Okay so this workout lasted about 2 days. I know I got a good chest and triceps workout yesterday, and I got a good back and biceps in today but when I was done I just did not feel done. Like today my back and biceps were fried but other than that I did not feel taxed at all. I felt like minimal energy was expended during the sessions compared to my full body or push w/ quads, pull w/ hammies workouts. So I decided to recreate one of my old push w/ quad, and pulls w/ hamstrings workouts.
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]This program goes in a rotation every other week each group gets worked 2 times. Every other push or pull workout will alternate between higher reps / lighter weight, and heavier weight / lower reps.
Lifting days will be Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday with an additional day for shoulder and arms on Sunday.

The Sunday workout will look more like this.
HS SHoulder Press, or Smith Shoulder Press Partials x3
front raise x3
reverse flies x2
lateral raise machine = HST-7 Sets
Oly Bar Curls x3
DB Hammer Curl x2
DB Incline Curl = HST-7 Sets
Dips x3
Rope Ext x2
Cable OH Triceps ext = HST-7 Sets
Nutrition-
Here is what my nutrition looked like yesterday. Once again just a tiny bit low but I planned it that way since adding in the extra day. With the new program I will have much less to change as far as nutrition goes. I already have a big carb meal on Sunday with our Sunday Family Brunch so I will go to the gym early knock the workout out then come home and fill up on waffles, eggs and turkey bacon as well as some protein powder to get the protein up high enough. That keeps me with the same 3 cardio days a week and gives Sunday Brunch a place to go other than my waist line. So it is a win win situation.

Totals 310.075 68.2 218.125
Calories 1240.3 613.8 872.5 Total Cals - 2726.6
Honestly from what I can tell I would have had to drop my calories more to adjust to the much lower energy expenditure level. As you can see I rolled it right back to something I know will work for me and make a few changes from there. I am really expecting to see some great progress with this current set up.
LOL
I started at 208 and am down to 204, bodyfat and update pictures will come this weekend.

^^^...Going to be interesting seeing how the change in training affects things (if it does), Chris.
