This will be my workout log for at least the next 30 days, as I finish the final 4 weeks of my mock 10 week contest prep plan, and also while I am an official tester for Scivation's LipidFX!

Old Workout Log(thru 12/8/05):
http://www.forum.bodybuilding.com/sh...340904&page=21

Currently:
Age: 22
Sex: Male
Height: ~5'9.5"
Weight: ~238(thanks to a cheat meal tonight!)
Bodytype: Endo


Current Training Schedule
I typically lift 4 days per week. I've never been a fan of saying "Mondays are legs, Tue are...etc". I typically split up as:
Chest/Tricep/Ab
Back/Bicep/Forearm
Delt/Trap/Ab
Legs

I use *EXTREMELY* short rest periods betweens ets(usually between 10 and 40 seconds) and msot days average maybe a total of 21-25 sets in roughly 35-45 minutes. Rep ranges and weights vary.

Current Cardio Schedule
I am doing this as if I was 4 weeks out from a show, so my cardio will change weekly. This week will be as follows:

6 days per week(only off on leg day), morning and post-workout(or evening if an off-day), using a treadmill.

first 10 minutes 3.0mph @ 1.0 incline
second 15 minutes 3.5mph @ 2.0 incline
third 10 minutes 4mph @ 5incline
last 15 minutes 3.0mph @ 13 incline

Next week will either be the same, or 25 min HIT style on other cardio machines and 25 min on the bike.

last two weeks cardio will be every day, low-intensity on leg day, and one hour sessions split between machines.

Current Supplements:
LipidFX
ON Protein
Multivitamin
Vitamin C

Current Diet:
Again will vary as we go along, but at the moment:
Workout Day:
1)(pre-cardio) 25g protein shake in water. multi, vit C, LipidFX, Green Tea/Coffee
2)(post-cardio) 50g protein(shake or lean source), 50g carb, green tea/coffee
3) (pre-workout) 70g protein(shake or lean), 25g carb
4) (post-workout) 70g shake with 50g dextrose. multi, vit C, LipidFX
5) 50g protein, fibrous vegetables
6) 50g protein, large salad with balsamic, Vit C, Multi
large amounts of COLD water, coffe/green tea.

Non-Workout Day:
1) same
2) same but only 25g carb
3) 70g protein, salad
4) 70g protein shake
5) 50g protein, fibrous vegetables, LipidFX
6) 50g protein, multi, Vit C

Short-Term Goals:
For this 30 days I would like to get down to ~220, gain alot more definition/vascularity, and move closer to my shorter term goal of ab outlines

Long-Term Goals:
Compete in a bodybuilding contest next summer
