So, lets see where I stand, 2 - 3 weeks later. I am currently in school right now, and its really tough for me to get in solid workouts, but I’m managing, and making progress. I have not included in the FST7 routine like I was planning, too much planning, I’m just sticking to the basics involving compound movements. My deadlifts have started to sky rocket, that is the one exercise I have noticed that has improved. As far as the supplements go, I still can’t tell how the Beta Alanine is effecting my workouts. I have noticed the Myotest, which is, that I have more energy, and have more positive energy. As of right now, I am somewhat disappointed with it, but I know not to expect miracles, so maybe I should be happy with it, just not sure if it is worth the price tag.

I am contemplating competing next summer, so I have started to count my calories, and protein intake, with desire to add 5 -10 lbs of muscle this winter. Workouts are going strong, and being consistent!

So I’m going to keep a more dedicated blog, help me to reflect, and in a way analyze my workouts.

First off my goals. I did my max’s on Sunday so I can judge my progress. Bodybuilding.com max calculator was pretty close. My Squat was 350lbs (not impressed), bench 285lbs (felt I could get 300lb but didn’t have a spot), my deadlift was 415lbs and my push press 175lbs. I will like to improve on all 4 of these lifts. I want to add strength, and I’m going to aim to add a bit of size as well, lower reps, eating more than usual.

My diet is in check, just have to make sure I get enough veggies in me.

My supplements have two new additions than the usual suspects, and that is SAN Myotest, I want to see if this stuff actually could work, and Beta Alanine for pre workout. Other than that, protein, multi-v, fish oils, and finishing off a tub of EAS phosphagen.

My workout will be split into 4 workouts, chest and shoulders, legs, back, and power exercises.
I will do 4 sets, 6-8 reps, of roughly 4 exercises per major body group. My tri’s and bi’s see action in only one exercise each, appropriate to the major muscle group ie. tri’s w/chest, bi’s w/back
I am also going to incorporate this new type of training FST-7 which I’m sure you’ve heard about. Each week, I will train a different body part using FST 7 training. For example, since I’m starting this week, my chest and shoulders will be trained FST 7 style. The second week of my workout my legs will be trained FST7 and so on.
My cardio will consist jogging, HIIT (along with riding my bike, other than when its raining heavily), at least twice a week.
The objective of this blog right now, is to a) see if I notice a difference with Myotest, and b) form an opinion of FST 7 training.

Cheers,

Well its been just over a week and my motivation, along with my training intensity is at a maximum. I just finished a back/bicep/abs day and I feel great. My strength is coming back, and i’m focusing on my technique much more as well. Which is hard because being away for 8 weeks I just want to get right back into the weights. But I know I will get better gains if my technique is perfect, and the strength will come eventually.

I’m taking a good assortment of supplements, and my eating habits are the best they have been in my life. Although, I probably should be eating more than I am, since I am trying to hit and maintain a muscular 185lbs.

 My diet is great, my workouts are intense, I feel that my supplement stack is supplementing my diet and workouts perfectly, and my reading material, mens health, and arnolds encylopedia of bodybuilding, is making my goals very attainable.

So I’ve just completed my weekly routine, and I am in a ton of pain. I was hoping to take it easy enough, to warm up the muscles, remind them, but apparently, expectedly I went overboard and am having a hard enough time bending over. Hopefully the aches and pains will be out of the way soon enough and I can begin to push myself physically as I am mentally ready.

I’ve recently been travelling in S. America for 6 weeks, and I was away from home for 2 weeks before that. My training went from optimum, to nothing in a short amount of time. But I’m back, and looking forward to it.

So right now, I’m slowly trying to ease myself into it. My chest in shoulders are in a lot of pain right now, and I’m scared for my legs tomorrow. My confidence is much lower as well. But I know that will all change. I have the desire and motivation to bounce back once my muscle fibers remember what training is. So lets see how quickly I can get back to the fitness level I was and push myself even further!
