Hey everyone, and welcome to my training log.

I have been a member here on JP for a while, but I have read more than posted. I figured a good way to break that is to start a training log. I have many questions from time-to-time and appreciate any advice given.

Anyway, some brief information on me. I'm a senior in college right now, and have really gotten into lifting seriously and fitness in general, over the past two years. This wasn't always the case though. Between about my 7th and 11th grade years in school I was fairly overweight...not extremely, but not in shape either. I decided to finally do something about it over the spring and summer going into my senior year of highschool. I did the low-carb thing...losing around 64lbs but didn't really exercise at all besides playing baseball.
I felt great but still didn't look the way I wanted to. I wanted more muscle.
Over the next couple of years I did various weight programs like Chad's TBT, waterbury method, and have also done all the hypertrophy programs in NROL, as well as NROL Strength I; being the major ones.
For a long time, I have struggled with my diet and eating enough to gain weight....which is the opposite of what I wanted before.

So here I am. Last year at this time, I weighed about 154 and was approximatly 13-14% BF. Now I'm approx. 162-163 (first thing in the morning) and around 10-11% BF. I know I'm still not close to where I want to be in terms of size, but I don't want to be a fat a$$ either.

So my goals for 2008 have been to just get stronger and put on some lean body mass. I'm 22 and will be graduating soon, but right now I have a lot of spare time to train.

I just finished a 12 week hypertrophy program using Coach Dos' PowerTraining program and really liked it.
I'm now 3 weeks into his 4 day Push/pull, total fitness program. I also am a big fan of HIIT interval style cardio and generally do 2 session a week on my off days with one day completely off.
