Decided to start me log up over here. Ive been logging my lifts on other forums for little over a year and a half now. In the past I was geared more towards strength and power lifting, but shifted to bodybuilding at the beginning of the year. Currently I'm doing a slower bulk, looking to hit 210-215lbs by the end of the year. I currently sit at 202-205lbs depending on the day. I only lift 3x/wk mondays being a pull day, wed a push day and friday legs. right now this is the only system that allows me to get enough rest. I was on a 5x/wk split a month ago and just wasn't recovering properly so I switched it out do get enough recovery time. Since then I've seen very nice gains.

Training wise my pull days go Incline Curls, BB curls, spider curls superset with cable curls, BO rows (grip position varies usually 3 overhand and 3 underhand), One arm rows heavy weight, and seated cable rows preforming FST-7 (7 sets little rest between sets preformed to failure)

Push days - DB skulls, Reverse Grip Flat Bench, Flat Press, DB Incline Press, Standing Should Press, and a rear delt exercise.

I have to different type of leg days which I alternate between. Front squat (lighter weight more reps) or back squat depending on the week (heavy weight with fewer reps), SLDLs, Lunges, and Leg press performing FST-7.

My rep range is usually 8-12 reps, unless noted as heavy which then indicates 6-8 reps.

I do have a constant problem with my right hip which is imbalance. I get regular chiropractor work on it so I'm still able to lift.

With this log Im going to try to be more detailed then I was in the past. Posting lifts and weights for best lifts along with diet for the day. All criticism, comments and questions are welcome.

Good to see ya bringing your log over here MCSS13.

Thanks BI I've been really busy as of late but I'm gonna try to keep them up-to-date.

Ill be doing a shock week and then change up the days I lift so I have more rest. Im also going to try to eat more. Ive set my goals for the rest of this year and next. Im need to get to 212lbs by jan 1st, hit 230lbs by april of next year and first contest regardless of weight will be next october. Ive been putting it off for to long and i think that might be the problem as i work best under pressure. Im hoping to hit the light heavy first time out.
