My names Steven obviously, I started lifting September 1st but I've "worked out" a little before then.
I have 2 barbell sets, one standard and one olympic, 10-40lb dumbbells, a pull-up bar, and a nice bench/rack combo.
(I work out in my basement)
I started lifting to pass time after blowing my whole summer on an ex-gf and I wanted a better looking body as I didn't feel good enough. Now those feelings still remain but there's also much more to it. I've been enjoying lifting and I am going to push myself though I'm still more interested in a medium sized aesthetic build than being pure huge.

2. Stats
I'm about 5'10" but I might still grow a little taller.
I started off at around 137 pounds in September and have gained about 15 pounds since (4 months) while keeping my bf% in check.
At the start of this log I'll say my maxes are roughly...
They might be slightly higher or lower but these are reasonable estimates.
Benchpress: 155
Deadlift: 265
Squat: 175

3. Goals
My short term-goal is to keep clean bulking and then cut before summer. I'm hoping that will put me at ~160 pounds and sub-10%bf
After summer I plan to push 170 as far as I can.

4. Workout Plan
I'll be starting off with a modified version of the 12-Week Scivation Tri-Phase Program.
I kept all the phase/rep/set principles but I changed the exercises around heavily.
I'm even going to tweak the program slightly as I go.
This may or may not turn out to be a good thing.
The program calls for 4 days a week. 2 of those 3 off days I will be doing only abs/calves.
I won't be doing HIIT till summer approaches. Just a slow mile or so before some lifting sessions.

12 week triphase.
BACK (week 1)
-Deadlifting 215 was max less than a month ago so this is good. But grip gave out, going to lower to 200 next week.
-Also didn't like the order. Deadlift gave me a moderate forearm pump which ****ed up my pullups, also havn't done them in awhile so they're real weak.
-Changing order slightly next week.
