Hey everyone. I am not sure if any of you remember me, I used to be a big poster on the mh fitness bored, i tried to go back but it is jst horrible there now. Anywasy ill give you my story in brief.
I was a highschool wrestler, adn my senior year i broke my collar bone ending my season and keeping me out of the gym and allowing me to slowly whatch my formerly fit body deteriorate. After i was better i left for college and started to get back to were i was, until a hurricane wrecked my schols gym. A few months later i was able to afford a gym memebership and i have been spending the last month or so trying to get back to my old self.
now that i am back to the fitness seen i am trying to do some building here and i checked out chad waterbury's full body training article. I was curious as to any feedback you guys could give me on it, from results to opinions of. Its going to be between this or HST.
I am 5'8" 161 lbs and 9-10% bf. with my limited budget here is a sample day of eating for me.
haha I remember you! You used to be pretty ripped or at least had a really nice back for your age. Do you have a meal plan? If so whats available.

Make sure you are getting some lean protein with every meal(besides pre and pwo). Also, I would replace some of the ww pasta and bread with oats. Oats are a lot healtheir and less processed than bread.
hey gqartguy. i live of campus an di have a $300/month food budget, i pay for my car and gym monthly also which leaves me little extra money for food. Im not really worried about my diet, rather training. Ive never really done a full body routine so i am having trouble desiging an HST routine. And my back is still my most prominant feature and favorite thing to workout heh.
also under the pasta, it was ment to say tuna not tun. sorry about that
Well you have a lower bf% than I do so I guess I wont tell you about eating lol.
Training wise, Ive never done either, but have read up on them. I like the conjugate method too much to switch at the moment. I like CW's stuff because its simple and still pays the strength dues whereas HST is too high in reps for my liking.

I don't think we ran it. Maybe we should've. The letters page has some "issues," including an error in a response to a reader who pointed out an error in one of the features in the first issue.
That's kind of scary, when the editors insert errors into copy that's supposed to be definitively correcting previous mistakes.
As a starving artist, former starving student, I would highly recommend a Costco or Sam's club membership, if you don't already have one. They have good prices on the staples; Tuna, Frozen Chicken Breasts, Gatorade, Olive Oil. Well worth the cost of membership.
hey alcoholIday(heh not sure if u changed it or it wa a typo heh). Collar bone is all healed up, although it is still pushed in 5 mm. the only problems i get are a sore pain if i lay on my left side for too long, glad to hear from you and alot of you others again. You will be seeing much from me in my return to a fitness lfiestyle, now i just need my old body back hah.
TheSteve....Great to hear from you. Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to hearing lots of good things from you. Glad the collar bone is healing. How's the long distance issue workling out with you and your girlfriend?
