Mister Ed's Pre-Summer Log

Well, last week reminded me that warm weather and long days are just around the corner here in the Southeast USA... We had some upper 70s temperatures and clear skies, made for great cycling and a little bit of remorse for having not done the best job keeping up with training over this cold winter that I am glad to see melt away.

Anyways, yesterday I started working out again. I am testing out a three month program... month one is building strength with a split workout, month two is building muscle, month three is cutting fat.

split is as follows -
M - Legs/Calves/Abs
T - Chest/Shoulders/Traps/Calves/Abs
H - Back/Abs/Calves
F - Arms/Abs/Calves

Month 1 goes as follows for all lifts except crunches and calf raises -
week 1 - 6RM
week 2 - 5RM
week 3 - 4RM <-- might be interrupted by a bicycle trip to the beach :-\
week 4 - 3RM

Month 2 goes as follows for all lifts except crunches and calf raises -
week 1 - 8RM
week 2 - 9RM
week 3 - 10RM
week 4 - 12RM

Month 3 goes as follows for all lifts except crunches and calf raises -
week 1 - 12RM
week 2 - 15RM
week 3 - 20RM
week 4 - 25RM

also cleaning up my diet (which is by far the most frustrating and aggravating task... and off to a poor start today)

anyways... the usual risk factors remain - impatience, overexertion, and impulsiveness...

So I am hoping to get at least a little cut before summer really heats up!

I am also considering trying Leviathan again, since I am not taking Adderall anymore...

yaaay

What's up Ed? Glad to see you're back at it.
 
nothing much just trying to get this plan going... getting ready for a 150-mile two day jaunt to the beach in a couple of weeks... it will be my longest ride of the past year by a good 50 miles, two days in a row... 75 miles a day ore so... on my fixed gear bike :-P

also means i have to figure out what to do with that week where I will be doing this... as it is a pretty crucial strength building week...
