Get fuckin' huge.

That's my goal for 2008. Right now, I'm sitting at around 190 at a height of 5'9'', up from 135 when I started lifting in July 2006. I want to keep adding muscle and getting stronger, while not turning into a fatass in the process.

I'm starting the Texas method from Practical Programming on monday. The texas method consists of 3 total body workouts a week, one for volume, one for "recovery" and one for intensity. The volume one functions to inflict enough stress necessary to cause an adaption. The recovery workout is light enough to not impede recovery and to prevent regression. The intensity workout serves to increase strength, I guess. The program will look something like this:

Monday
Squat, 5x5
Bench Press, 5x5
Deadlift, 1x5
assistance/auxiliary work(other stuff)

Wednesday
Front squat,3x5
Military, 3x5
Chins, 3xmax
assistance/auxiliary work(other stuff)

Friday
Squat, 1x1RM OR 1x2RM OR 1x3RM
Bench Press, 1x1RM OR 1x2RM OR 1x3RM
Deadlift,1x1RM OR 1x2RM OR 1x3RM
assistance/auxiliary work(other stuff)

In addition to lifting, I play in a competitive adult flag football league(we're playing against ex D-1 players). Games are on sunday and we practice once a week.

Regarding nutrition, the strategy is to eat a good amount of reasonably healthy food. I start Cornell U in the fall, where I have to live off of a somewhat limited kosher meal plan, so I want to take advantage of my last 8 months of having an unlimited amount of food. I'll probably cut for a month or two in the spring.

Present stats-Goals by start of college in last august
Weight:193ish-210
Squat:260-315
Bench Press:220-275
Deadlift:370-425

Texas method will start on monday, I'll do something like 3x5 until then.
