Thoughts/comments:
Things are going great. I slightly altered my workout split last week and reduced the volume of my working sets per exercise from 4-7 to 3. I am going to maintain the same volume for this week. Next week I am going to slightly increase the volume of my workouts again and change the exercises I am doing.
My workout split is as follows:
Day 1: Legs power
Day 2: Shoulders and arms power
Day 3: Back and chest power
Day 4: Cardio abs
Day 5: Legs hypertrophy
Day 6: Shoulders and arms hypertrophy
Day 7: Chest and back hypertrophy
Day 8: Cardio abs
Day 2: Shoulders and arms power
Day 3: Back and chest power
Day 4: Cardio abs
Day 5: Legs hypertrophy
Day 6: Shoulders and arms hypertrophy
Day 7: Chest and back hypertrophy
Day 8: Cardio abs
Not much else to report. I am going to get more aggressive with my calories this week and try to break the 180 mark. I like to maintain lean year round but what I need to focus on right now is to add some size before I start dieting for my March 19th competition. I am calling myself out here. I need to get out of my comfort zone and accept some fat gain.
I feel truly blessed to be able to share my training with all of you. Thank you everyone for following along, for all the support and words of encouragement.
