Right now it is a 4 day split

Current Macronutrient Information

Carbohydrates: 200 - 250 g/day

Overall Goals
My overall goal is to get to 170 lbs with 10% bodyfat. 27" quads, 17" arms and 17" calves.

Short Term Goals
Also to break 405 lbs x 5 reps on deadlifts, 315 lbs x 5 reps on squat, 185 lbs x 5 military presses by years end.

Oh trust me, I willl. I am pondering the ideas of starting the 5x5 today and maybe just skipping the deadlift part.

You could, but isnt the 5x5 3 days a week?
Im just saying maybe you should take 1 day off first..

Yeah, it is. But the only way I can fit it into my schdeule and keep actually have time to workout is on a T/Th/Sat type thing.

That sounds fine Im on a M/W/F routine, plus abs/cardio on off days or on weekends

Best of luck buddy!

**JHICKS3301** · 07-17-2007, 07:39 AM

did someone say bagel bites!?!?

**Mickfootie** · 07-17-2007, 07:51 AM

'Subbed' I'm along for the ride Kurt.

**XCriticalBenchX** · 07-17-2007, 07:55 AM

Nice start once again. Sorry i didnt follow through with ur last one.. following logs is very hard for me and i always get sidetracked on something else!

What supplements are u using besides the basics? And dont worry aobut the strength loss when cutting.. when i was bulking up at school.. i was benching 285X6, i dont even think i can do that for 1 now lol.

But as you know.. it comes back

Mike

**Steve0178** · 07-17-2007, 07:59 AM

Alright ladies, time to GFH!

Dude where is your bench goal...i want you to put at least 5-7 inches on that chest...blow that **** up

Glad to have you hear, Mike. I pray that the strength does come back and it isn't some tall tale.

What number do you want to hit?

**5Six** · 07-17-2007, 08:28 AM

Honestly, I would be content at 225 lbs x 5 reps. After that it will prolly be 275 lbs x 5. I was never a big fan of bench number. For me, it was all about deadlifts and squats.

fawk that dude, is that why you want to hit chest 2 times a week to bring it up? In the words of Arnold "cmon, dont bullsht me!" No really man, i think your chest could really benefit from some heavy liftin!

**Beejis60** · 07-17-2007, 08:45 AM

Let's do it!

**Kernkraft** · 07-17-2007, 09:26 AM

Sexy's back!
