Ok let's see...I have probably about 6 months of working out total. It usually works out like 1 month on 2-3 months off, so everytime I start back up I feel like I'm starting from scratch. I joined a gym about 2 months ago and started going consistantly for a month and then hurt my back and took 2-3 weeks off. I've been back for 2-3 weeks consistantly now and I'm going to keep it up!

My Stats:
31 year old male.
6' about 168 lbs.

I figure maybe some measurements will be a good way to track progress:
wrist : 6.75"
forearm: 11.5"
bicep: 13.5"
chest: 39"
waist: 33"
quad: 22.5"
calves: 14" maybe 14.25"

My workout:
full body 5x5 (M W F). When I get up to 5x7 I bump up the weight and go back to 5x5. I'll probably be changing this up in a month or so, we'll see.

yesterdays workout, if I can remember
5/10/06:
FULL squats: 5x5 @ 220 lbs.
chinups (worked in with squats): 5x6 bodyweight

dips (first time trying my dipping belt): 5x5 with 25 lb. plate

1 arm bent over rows: 5x5 @ 65 lbs.

db bench press: 5x5 @ 55 lbs.

deads: 5x5 @ 255 (I did 5x3 at 300 the other day using straps, but that was the first exercise and first time trying straps)

I guess that's about it. I try to take in a min of 3200 Cal. of fairly clean food, but I've been bad at keeping track of that. I usually get about 5+ servings of fruits and veggies and I take a multivitamin, fish oil caps, and vitamin C.

I guess that's it.
