I figured I will share this with you guys here. I will include before and after pics of my progress as I go along. I have enjoyed the logs of other members and wanted to share my own personal experiences.
To start, I am 42 years old, married and a father of 3. I have been working out for 3 years and have decided to take it a little more serious now for the last year and a half. I am not in this journey alone, my wife is also into this same sport. She, as I type, is running her first pro hormone cycle, week 1 of Halo For Her.
I have learned the most from this forum and the members on here. It just makes me more comfortable knowing there is always a willing, helping hand out there on this site and people who will also look out for you.
Now to business!!!. I just started back 2 weeks ago. I was off for 9 weeks to have a minor umbilical hernia fixed and to give my shoulder some heal time. I cannot emphasize enough, as the rest of you know, how important a good diet is. I am in the process of a bulking phase.
Being off, my normal weight of 185 went down to 176lbs. I figured 4-6 weeks training should be good enough to get back into the swing of things before starting my cycle.
My stats: 42 years young, 6' in height. Starting weight was 176lbs at returning to body building, current weight 2 weeks later with proper diet, I am at 187lbs.
My training schedule starts at 5:30am, 5-6 days a week and last approx. 45-60 minutes. I usually use Y3T training with slight modifications. I work one muscle group per day; Monday-shoulders, Tuesday-arms, Wednesday-legs, Thursday-off, Friday-back, Saturday- chest, Sunday-off.
In the 2nd week of Y3T, I like to add FST-7 at the end of each workout. After a 3 week cycle of Y3T, in the 4th week, I like to hit everything with DTP, just to keep everything guessing and confused. ( hopefully I have not confused everyone with the workout systems I use)!!!
I did not realize the time and I have to leave. I would like to put in my diet and leave some recipes my wife makes.
I have to take my son to a charity wrestling match to watch. ( please don't laugh!)
Be back soon!
Regards,
Matt.
