I deleted my last post…I don’t know how many,if anyone, saw it..to sum it up I was going to stop posting blogs on here because I started a journal on the forums http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?p=278482751 (hopefully that worked.) Since that post I’ve decided that might have been a tad dramatic!! So, to the point, I’ll update my blogs with the bigger changes, i.e new rourtines, etc. and try and keep the journal updated every 2-3 days, so please check it out and leave comments, etc. 

After getting a bit of the "run-around" by people (receptionists,etc.) at school I got in touch with a super cool guy, who helped me re-arrange my schedule; Therefore I finally got to get my new routine laid out today! sadly I’ll still only be on a three day a week schedule, trying to fit  cardio in on a fourth when I can. This is the final semester so I’m expecting to have a pretty heavy workload this time around.My Split is going to be:

Sunday: back/reardelts/traps, Monday: Legs, Wednesday: Arms/delts/chest

I know the Wednesday looks pretty heavy but I’ll probably only be doing 3-4 sets for chest (Inc. db press.) I feel the size of my chest highlights (in a bad way) my lagging arms so have decided to just leave it alone for a bit, hopefully this will allow for a more even chest to upper arm ratio. Originally I was going to start a "diet" phase from now untill June, but felt I’d lose too much of the little muscle I’ve gained during my bulk, I’ve opted to keep at a moderate level of cals. 2400-2800, split over 5-6 meals, my protein intake is pretty good @ 1-2 g per lb. and am trying to watch my carb intake, without cutting them completely. I think this will keep my muscle’s full, maybe even growing a bit, and keep fat gain to a minimum, maybe losing a bit, I’ll probably try an actual "cut" around mid april. I think this will work out pretty good for me this time around…Lets get some abs this year dammit!!!

After two weeks of slacking off  I finally got my lazy ass back in the gym today… I didn’t start a new routine yet  and so decided to just throw out a "freestyle" shoulder workout. It felt good to be in there again, It’s pretty amazing what one workout can do for my mindstate, I feel so much more at peace right now than earlier this week…I still need to re-configure my school schedule (hopefully by tomorrow), and so won’t have a routine set until next week…

Unlike a majority of people around the world I generally don’t make New Year resolutions. Personally I feel if you need to wait for a specific date to make some sort of change you’re starting your path to any goal with an excuse, but thats just my opinion, "Why Wait??!!"  Anyways, that was an irrelevant rant.  Warning: I am feeling rather, for a lack of better words, BBLLAAAHH/depressed so ignore my wh’cha-matude….  

I took some progress pics (I don’t feel I should call this set that tho) today and am extremely dissappointed, I knew I wouldn’t like what I saw because of me slacking (to put it lightly) in the gym lately, it’s basically been two flippin’ weeks since I’ve been!!! and just all around not really watching or caring about my diet. I could make 150 excuses and semi-valid reasonings behind this, but I won’t.

I ****ed up, bottom line, no excuses, it’s completely on me. 

I might try and throw out a little 1 rep max workout b4 my daughter starts school on monday, which is also when I’m going to start back into my training. Just because I like to start on "even" days of the week (lol ignore the gigantic hypocrosy of the very first sentence of this very same blog!!! ) I’m unsure of what my routine is going to look like right now , I have to try rearrange my timetable at school so I can be home for my daughter!! It’s looking like maybe only three days of weights and squeeze in cardio when I can, which I’m not happy  about, I really wanted to be able to have a five day a week routine!

Just to throw this out there, my daughter has been living with me since boxing day, hence the new found stress/ time contstraints, not because of my daughter, but because of dealing with her mother A/K/A the biggest….ummm…I’ll save that rant for elsewhere…   

So to stop this before it turns into a psychotherapy session, I got alot of work to do to get my scheduling and , well , entire life in order in the next little bit!!
