The title of this journal is right to the point. I started fresh on a new program today, and I'm ready to attack with all my might. As always, I want to get stronger, and I think I'm going to try and add some quality lean mass too now that I've cut down, but that will be fairly gradual, especially for the summer. Come fall/winter I may get a bit more aggressive with the weight gain.
Also, I'm putting less emphasis on my conditioning work. I'm lifting 4 days per week, and I will do 2 days of cardio per week. I will be skipping anaerobic intervals this time around, but I do think I will stick to aerobic interval work on the days I do cardio.
So, here's what I did today:
A1 Back Squat RI60
275x3
255x4x3
245x3x3
A2 Reverse Cable Chop RI60
#8x8x3
B1 1Leg RDL RI60
65sx3x8
B2 Plank RI60
+70x45sec
That's it. That's all I needed. So, that's basically what the strength day looks like for lower body. My first two exercises are 8x3 hopefully using something I can stick with the entire 8 sets. I started too high here (Should've been better), but I'm going to work this aggressively. My squat just sucks compared to my deadlift, so it's getting priority in the strength department. Really, right now it's been sucking period. Don't know what happened there, but will see what results over than next 8-12 weeks or whatever.
Also, I'm going to the beach for a couple of days tomorrow. I am going to find a gym in Ocean City to workout at on Wednesday, and just let me mad swimming on Tuesday be my cardio, heh. My diet will probably suck while I'm there, but overall I've been pretty strict with that throughout the past several months save for the past couple of nights, so I could use that.
