School begins and hopefully a year for improvement

[Scarback]

As I just started my sophomore year in college, I wanted to post a thread to help me stay on track. Living off campus presents a lot of opportunities for excessive drinking so I hope to control myself a little as my lifting is at a good point with summer ending. Comments and criticism are more than welcome.

...and so the journal begins

August 22, 2008

Bench Press warm-up 135x15, 225x10, 315x10

I'm working on a hybrid split. As my strength is up from a summer full of hard work, I do not want to piss it away. As far as supplements go, my budget only allows for Muscle Milk and currently Nitrotech Hardcore protein bars.

I'll likely complete a leg workout tomorrow or the next day so I'll post that. Also, look forward to a completed split incorporating a lot of powerlifting movements.

Any advice on a split incorporating two leg days quads on one hams on the other and then two bench days, dynamic on one, max effort on the other?

As I couldn't make it to the gym this weekend, I ended up repeating Friday's workout with some slight differences. This is my first time working out at our school gym. I was happy benching went ok as the school benches are extremely narrow, much moreso than what I was previously used to. Also you'll notice some of my DB lifts are weaker as the DBs here are a little shotty due to how wide they are.

Dynamic Bench Press warm-up 135x20, 225x10, 315x10, 225x3 for 5 sets
Incline DB Bench 50x10, 100x12, 45x20
Plate Frontals Supersetted w/ Laterals 25x10/10x10, 45x10/10x10, 45x10/10x10
Seated Cable Row 100x10, 150x10, 150x10
Face Pulls 90x15, 120x15, 90x20
Dips BWx20 for 2 sets

Also, here is my split.
Day 1 (Monday) - Dynamic Bench, Chest, Shoulders, Back, Rear Delts
Day 2 (Wednesday) - Squat, Deadlift, Legs, Lats, lower back
Day 3 (Friday) - Max Effort Bench, Arms

possibly adding a day 4 in the mix which would fall on sunday. I would be doing a quad dominate leg workout, meaning I would probably just do box squats with bands on wednesday. I'm going to take my time with that as currently a three day split is most suitable due to classes

Here is day 2. Wasn't very happy with this workout as the gym was exceedingly crowded and I felt kind of sick: allergies are kicking up.

Pause Squats (really lazy with these) 135x10, 225x5, 225x5
Leg Curls 3 sets of 10 with 50 lbs added
Lat Pulldowns 120x10, 150x7, 90x10, 90x10, 90x10 TUT changed
Close Grip Pulldowns 120x10, 90x10, 90x10
Reverse Pec Dec 90x15, 90x15, 90x11
