Okay so now that I'm in the gym again I need to have some kind of direction as to what I'm doing. These past two workouts have pretty much just been to work myself back into the routine of lifting. I can definitely tell that I have lost muscle. Here is a picture from about 6 or so months ago...
I will try to get up a picture of me later tonight of a current one, I need someone to take the pic of me or else I'd post it up right now...I wasn't a beast or anything but as I said in a previous thread I had made some great progress. Okay swoo, so I was trying to throw together a moded 5x5 program that 0311 had originally sent me last year.
Here's the Original Workout Routine
Monday – Heavy Day
Squat – 5 sets of 5
Bench – 5 sets of 5
Powercleans – 5 sets of 5
2 sets of weighted hypers
4 sets of weighted Sit-ups
Wednesday – Light Day
Squat – 4 sets of 5
Incline Bench – 4 sets of 5
High Pulls – 4 sets of 5
Sit-ups – 3 sets
Friday - Medium
Squat – 4 sets of 5, 1 triple, back-off
Bench – 4 sets of 5, 1 triple, back-off
Powercleans – 4 sets of 5, 1 triple
Weighted Dips – 3 sets of 5-8
Triceps and Biceps – 3 sets of 8 each
Here's the Moded Routine
Monday – Heavy Day
Squat – 5 sets of 5
Bench – 5 sets of 5
Deadlift – 5 sets of 5
4 sets of weighted Sit-ups <===This may go as well...
Wednesday – Light Day
Squat – 4 sets of 5
Incline Bench – 4 sets of 5
High Pulls – 4 sets of 5 What could I substitute these with? Pullups perhaps? Or should I go ahead and leave these?
Sit-ups – 3 sets <===May go...
Friday - Medium
Squat – 4 sets of 5, 1 triple, back-off
Bench – 4 sets of 5, 1 triple, back-off
Deadlift – 4 sets of 5, 1 triple
Weighted Dips – 3 sets of 5-8
Triceps and Biceps – 3 sets of 8 each <===I don't really like curls or the like... So these will probably go as well, should I substitute something here or just drop it all together? I'm thinking just drop it all together, but I'm looking for feedback so point me in the right direction and if I'm wrong in my mod's to the Routine let me know. I will also be doing cardio after each workout so Mon, Wed, and Fri I'll do about a mile or so on the treadmill...Maybe 2miles tops I know how to eat so as long as I keep my coloric intake high I should be okay right? Okay this was a long post but thanks for everyones help in advance!
