diet: will get tweaked when food needs to be added or removed.
training:
going to do a legs/push/pull split, taking days off as needed and alternating between 2 workouts per workout day. I plan on incorporating some rest-pausing, partials, negatives, and higher rep widowmaker type sets into my workouts.
Monday - Legs
Front Squats....not anywhere near 100% since being ill with bronchitis and the flu last week....nothing worth mentioning
Tuesday - Push
Did some smith pressing for chest and delts. I tried standing smith press which was interesting and a nice change. Huge pump afterwards in my pecs, delts and triceps
Thursday - Pull
Dragging ass today. Did some barbell rows, pull-ups and 1-arm cable curls as my primary moves. Got a 345 barbell row....not my best but I'll get there
Friday - Legs 2
My hams and calves were still a little tight from Monday but I managed a 365 smith squat and stiff-leg deadlift and hit some good numbers on my higher rep leg ext./leg curl and calf work
Saturday - Push 2
Did pretty well today on some decline smith, overhead machine press and lying extensions, with chest press machine, DB laterals, and dip machine for my higher rep work.
