Timber's first journey into the HST world..

[Timber]

Hey everybody, I thought I would keep a log to track my progress for myself and for everybody else out there interested in HST.

I am splitting up my routine alternating major muscle groups instead of doing a 3x a week full body split. This works better for me schedule wise and energy wise. Instead of doing an AM/PM split, I am doing a 6x a week split.

Day 1 (Chest/back/arms): Monday/Wednesday/Friday
Incline Press 2 sets
Dip 2 sets
Lat Pulldown 2 sets
Barbell Rows 2 sets
DB curls 2 sets
Tricep Pushdown 2 sets
Shrugs 1 set

Day 2 (Legs/shoulders/abs): Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday
Squat 2 sets
Leg Curl 2 sets
Calf Raise 2 sets
Military Press 2 sets
Lateral Raise 1 set
Forearm curls 1 set
Crunch 2 sets

I'm in day 3 of the first week of my 15s. It's going pretty well so far, I have never spent less time in the gym. I can work out with intensity now and get out within a little under an hour.

Feedback appreciated!

WT: 196 (weighed at night with gym clothes on)
Biceps:?
Chest:?
Thighs:?
Calves:?
Waist:?

Good to see another journal!

I'm interested to see how this one pans out.

End of week 1 update:

Weight: Ended up weighing in at approx 202 lbs (at gym with clothes on, up 6 lbs. Some is prolly water weight from the creatine I started.)

Measurments (in inches, taken cold with the muscle stretched not flexed)
Biceps:13 (15 flexed)
Chest:37.75
Thighs:22.5
Calves:15
Waist:34.25

The program is going pretty well, I'm into the 2nd week of 15s and the weights are starting to get a bit heavy. I estimated my maxes so I will fix whatever errors I made in estimation along the way. I had a good judge of my maxes since they haven't gone up previous to this program.

I am really enjoying the short duration at the gym and going every day. It keeps me motivated and on track.

I will update with pics in a little while.

Week 0: 196 lbs
Week 1: 202 lbs (+6 lbs)

Wow, I have been busy and haven't really updated, but I'm pretty happy with my results so far! Only thing I'm not really happy with is the waist, but I haven't really been eating super clean either, (got a bit drunk last night and had a ton of pizza!). But wow, my results are pretty damn good. I'm gonna to eat a bit cleaner but wow, I'm doing pretty good I think.

Tommarow will start my second week of 10s.
