Feel Free To Post In My Journal!!
I guess i'll start one. I'll see if I can keep up with it. A little back ground info. I'm currently 195-200 @ 11% I started out at like 250 @ 40% a few years ago. I'm 21 now. I started lifting when I was 17, got serious about BBing about 2 years ago. Im in college so it can make things difficult at times (read drinking and not enough sleep). So here goes:
Sunday - Off -
Diet:
Meal 1:
1/2 cup oatmeal
1tbsp flax oil
2 scoops protein powder
16oz water
with 300mg ALA
5g glutamine
meal 2:
Chili
maybe 8oz lean beef
and some kidney beans
20oz water
meal 3:
1 can albacore tuna
1/4 cup cheese
20oz water
meal 4:
1lbs sirloin steak
1 medium potato
300mg ALA
20-30oz water
meal 5:
6oz chicken
1/2 cup cottage cheese

Journal looks good. I like the military presses, a good old fashioned lift that you don't see many people doing anymore. You should post your split so everyone can get and idea of what your training looks like.
If you feel your chest is lagging then I would stick with training it first to make it a top priority.

Good idea neil. What is listed is the order I did them. MP's are great, since i've used them in my current routine I can tell my shoulders have gotten bigger and other people have commented on it as well.

Yeah i've been blessed with a place to workout with a lot of hot girls, although yesterday was a really slow night for them.
I hate legs!!!! Supposedly I have big legs, hence my name, its a nickname a lifting buddy gave to me. I just can never get into lifting legs.
Calories? not sure, i'm not real big into counting calories. I just estimate about what i'm eating. I know I SHOULD count, but I find it to be a hassle. I used to, just a pain.

I am THE IFBB pro!!! lol j/k. No the wannabe's are ( every gym has them) the guys around 130-160lbs walking around with ILS (Inflated Lat Syndrome) and think they are THE ****! Its like they think they're 5 weeks out from the Olympia.
The hammer? 2 weeks ago my Investments professor needed some help building a retaining wall at hs house ( he paid us) so he asked in class for soem help, i helped. During the construction of it I was in a 3 ft trench we dug trying to hammer a couple nails at the bottom of the wall and swung back and nailed my right knee. And the way the leg curl machines are set up here at the school gym the bar goes over the knees, its weird.
Squating sucked man! I used to be able to get 365x6 easily. and even 405 for 3. Now its reduced to 315 for 6. BLAH!!!!!!

Workout Notes
had to sorta rush through workout, late getting started, then when I got to the gym I forgot my lifting straps. So I had to run back to my apartment and pick them up. I'll blast my lats saturday, which will workout well. Since my back will be rested from tonights workout, and they need the attention, and I will be able to devote a full workout soley to my lats. I may end up doing this from now on. We'll see. Thought?
Hot Girl Count=2; Although there were about 25 hotties playing volleyball in the gym area and in the racquetball courts.

Yeah I know what you mean. My back recovers failry quickly. We'll see how it goes though. I may end up overtraing. i'll have to experiment.
Less is more? Neil would relate to that. He;s a hardcore HITer.

Thanks for the props mda.
Rob, as a HITer I would recommend trying some intensifiers for your back, possibly slower tempo, or pre exhaust. If you feel your arms are doing a lot of the work during your back days then try some straight arm pulldowns supersetted with pullups, chins, or rows. If you have a pullover machine at your gym those work great too. If you decide to take the increased volume/frequency route then I would say hit your back twice a week and cut down the volume on the rest of your body, kind of like a back specialization routine. Maintain the rest of your body with lower volume work, and blast your back a couple times a week. I would probably go with the increased volume if hypertrophy is your goal.
