I recently had some problems with my rotator cuff, so after some time off working with a ph. therapist, I am now a weaker version of my former self, but feeling better, shoulder-wise.  I found a lifting partner in the mean time, so my new lifting plan is:

Day 1: Chest & Tri’s

Day 2: Back & Bi’s

Day 3: Cardio

Day 4: Shoulders & Traps

Day 5: Legs

Day 6: Cardio/Rest

Day 7: Rest

I have been more diligent with my diet and supplements, so we’ll see how this goes…

A friend is a trainer in Minnesota ( www.athomepersonaltraining.com ) , and he has me trying something new.

• Chest & Back - High Intensity
• Legs - High Intensity
• Cardio - light
• Shoulders & Arms - High Intensity
• Cardio - Moderate
• Rest / Cardio Option
• Rest

Lots of intensity, and plenty of rest.  We’ll see how it works.  Thanks Phil.

I’m starting a new workout plan that I found in Arnold’s Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding.  The plan is to stick with this for a few months and see where it takes me.  I have taken a new approach to my diet and supplementation, and I’m hoping the dedication I have found there will enable me to reach the goals that I have set for myself.

Short term goals:

• Getting my flat bench max over 250
• Getting my squat over 300

My long term goals:

• Breaking out of the “ectomorph”
• Increasing my BWT 10 lbs of lean muscle mass

Wish me luck, and don’t hesitate to offer any advice that might help me on my way to a stronger me.
