Background:
Training:
-Currently 5 days per week. M-F, weekends off.
-Brief overview of roughly how it will at least be starting->
M- Snatch, Squat, Run
Tu- Upper Pull, Circuit
W- "LISS" (Run)
Th- Clean, Deadlift, Circuit
F- Upper Push, Circuit
-That is super generalized, it is a decent bit of nearly full body every training day as my circuits are pretty mixed.
-Usually it is a two week rotation, meaning one week it might be Back Squats on Squat day then next week is is Front Squats, then keeping that rotation.
-Overall volume is probably a little lower compared to my past self, but I am actually ramping things back up as of late. I had to drop things down over the last couple years as it was tough to recover from my workouts, but things have been better recently so trying to build back up.
-"Conditioning" work will be pretty high. When summer fully hits and my schedule adjusts again and when this all should be at its highest levels of volume I will probably move to some AM/PM split sessions to move the different workouts apart from each other.
-I'll make other notes during workouts as things come to/dawn on me that may be relevant.
-My training is pretty "intuitive". I have a pretty laid out and set plan, but based on lots of past experience and tinkering I have found what works for me quite well. I am pretty open ended with when exercises, intensities, reps, and progressions shift based on how I perform each week (specific metrics on past results help guide when the shifts occur) since I don't have any specific end dates to "be ready" for. I'll admit it probably looks pretty messy from the outside, but it is all very structured "behind the curtain".
Diet:
-Restarted the Macrofactor app.
-My intake is low compared to my past logs, but is also seemingly in the right place for now based on weight gain and weight stabilizations over the last few months.
-Training days are roughly 2400 cals and off days are roughly 2200. This is what the app has given me. Weekends are pretty busy and I don't train so I may see about manually shifting less calories onto those days (when I don't feel like eating as much) and more on training days, but we will see.
Supplements:
AM: 1-2 Uro-B, 3 Anabolic XT, 2 Cardiovascular Support, 2 Stress and Anxiety Support, 1 Sabroxy XT + 150mg-200mg Caffeine, 1 pump XPG Curcuprime on knees/ankles
During Training: 25-50g Carbs (HBCD/Carb10) + EAA + Betaine + Creatine
PM: 3 Anabolic XT, 2 Cardiovascular Support, 3 Doctors Best Multivitamin, 300m extra Magnesium Glycinate, 2 Orange Oximega
+ Looking to add some Peak O2, Amentoflavone and maybe some more of the XPG topicals in the coming months.
I wrote this up a couple weeks ago and was planning to start it as a Anabolic XT + Anabolic Effect log, had some stuff happened and pivoted a little bit, but wanted to get this posted as I am feeling a little bit more motivated (finally!) this year and hope even an infrequent log can keep me on track.
Goals:
-I was really planning on pushing things in a pretty dedicated way (tracking my macros with intent, etc.) through the beginning of June, but if the log gains momentum and I feel good I may keep it rolling to track some progress and provide feedback on some of these products.
-I don't really need to lose any weight as I am pretty lean right now, but I still am aiming for a few pounds dropped over these next two months to just kind of stabilize my baseline then try to ramp into some more hefty volumes to hopefully build some more strength and a little muscle through the end of the year.
-Current training block just shifted when I started tracking this two weeks ago with heavier emphasis on running (finally nicer weather) and just riding some of the momentum I had going with my other exercises.
Final Background:
-I've been on the boards for a long time. You can see a few logs and inputs I have put together over the years if interested. Honestly the last couple years have been pretty tough between some long haul Covid symptoms, large life changes, struggles balancing life, family, and running a business, depression, and just how slow progress can be after this long of training and being natural. I've still hit some PRs surprisingly the past few years, but even though I pretty much have stayed beyond dedicated I have not been nearly as motivated.
-This year things have finally started to click back into place and I am hoping to foster that and keep building. I don't know EXACTLY where I am going, but getting back on track for some of my older long term goals (which I can expand on) is the short term focus.
-I love training. I train for fun. My workouts are pretty weird sometimes, but I like a very balanced approach that allows me to shift focus on specific goals when I feel motivated to attack them. Who knows where that will go, but I am ready for the journey again.
