Weight: 138.2
BF: ~8%
I'll be lifting again starting tomorrow. I will probably be doing 4 weeks of hypertrophy training (8-12 reps) and then 4 weeks of strength training (4-6 reps I believe?). That is as far as I've looked into the future. That would be April 27th, and I'm hoping to be up to 148-150lbs and no higher than 9% BF.
Guess we'll see if I can do it. I've got pictures somewhere that I'll add in a few minutes...

Dear God. It is sad, but this is already killing me lol, I'm going to have to get an elevator in my house. My pride really hurts right now, but I'm trying to remember that it HAS been 6 months so I need to cut myself some slack, and I'm also trying to be very strict on form and tempo. Had it leave the lunges off because I have a class at 9 and this was taking longer than expected, but I will finish them off after school. Oh yeah, and my class is on the 3rd floor...and did I mention there was no elevator? Shoot Me.

Tuesday
Towel Pull-Ups - 1xfailure
Straight Bar Rows - 1x12 @ 95
One Arm DB Rows - 1x12 @ 70
Straight Bar Rows - 1x12 @ 95
One Arm DB Rows - 1x12 @ 70

Wide Grip Lat Pull-Downs - 1x12 @ 100

Grip. Grip. Grip. This is my first day back when my grip might affect me...and it did. My forearms may as well not be there. Definately gotta get on that because it cost me some weight on a few lifts today. But other than that I felt ok, still trying to kick my ego to the side and use good form and less weight, hopefully it pays off.

Tuesday
Incline DB Press - 4x12 @ 35
Flat DB Press - 1x12 @ 45; 3x12 @ 40
DB Flies - 3x10 @ 25
Not again... When I got to the DB presses I got a small, but sharp, pain in my left shoulder on my first set so I kicked my ego aside and dropped the weight. I've had problems with my shoulders before and it always seems to come back...suggestions? And then on my flies I really dropped the weight just in case because my right shoulder kept popping when I was bringing the weight down. No pain, but it sounded like it could get bad lol. Really got to focus on my form and flexing at the peak of the lift so that felt good. Any help with my shoulder problems?...

Yeah I'm not big on the whole "I spend hours in the gym, I have to make great gains from this". But from the other side...sometimes I feel like I'm shorting myself and should do another lift or a few more sets, etc.

Wednesday AM
Standing DB Press - 1x10 @ 20
DB Squats - 1x10 @ 50
DB Clean and Press (lol) - 1x10 @ 20
Push-ups on 20's - 1x10
Snatches - 1x10 @ 20
The college soccer coach had me try his 300 workout. Supposed to go through that set of lifts 6 times in the shortest amount of time you can. I had a class I had to get to so I only made it through 4 rotations but it was pretty exhausting, shows how much I've actually lost in the strength AND stamina departments. I liked it thought because after yesterday's workout I can already feel my shoulders giving me trouble again and I think this will help strengthen them up without having to get heavy and risk injuring them worse. So I'll probably hit arms and shoulders harder after school today and then get the ole' legs goin Friday.

I was just curious, I thought you were much shorter because you have a great physique for being so light, I figured you were more like 5'10.
