Forum: Workout Journals

It's been a long time since I last posted on these forums.

Mostly using this so I have a back-up in case my workout journal gets lost/dies. My main goal is to get stronger and lean up a bit. 250 is the heaviest I've ever been and I'd like to get down to about 225. Training has been crazy inconsistent for years and I'm coming back from a mini training...

As some of you know I've been cutting. I feel I've now got lean enough to do a lean bulk for the long term. I will not be chasing bodyweight increase but will increase food when needed. I have neglected legs and this will be reflected in my starting numbers but I will be training them hard from now...
