Well since my log is geared toward more of a strength and powerlifting type of routine (and my goals are based on that) I'll start my log here. Starting from my Monday workout. I'm gonna do Workout B here a little later today.

Age: 21
Height: 5'11
Weight: 175lbs

Short term goals are to reach 1000lbs total on the 3 big lifts.
Long term goals are to reach the 300-400-500 club.
I don't care how much muscle or weight I gain during this time.

After that I plan to do some hypertrophy work to work on my chest mainly, and sculpt my body, including running and be on a strict cut diet since I've always wanted to have prominent six pack one of these days just to see what it'd feel like to have a "ooh look at him" type of body.

Bench: 250 1RM, 205 5RM
Squat: 300 1RM, 260 5RM
Deadlift: 360 1RM, 315 5RM
Military Press: 1RM never tested, 5RM 120
Powerclean: 1RM 200, 5RM 175
All 5RM PRs are based on PRs from a 3x5 set/rep scheme.

Monday: 12/08/08 - Week 4
Squat:
245x5
245x5
250x5

Bench Press:
185x5
185x5
185x5

Deadlift:
290x5

So far this workout has been my hardest one, I ate really well over the weekend though, and I ate a lot. Strange though on my last set of bench presses it was my best. Visualizing does help in some ways.

Not sure though if I strained my core muscles too much doing the deadlift (hernia), but I can still move, there's no real pain, just feels like soreness in the lower ab area. Like I said I want to be real careful I don't hurt myself again working out as it has happened with my shoulder and lower back (and lats) before.
