Default Matt's starting from square one. . .

Well things have been quite insane for me as of late. . . student teaching, part time job, seminar group. . . etc, etc. And as you can imagine I've been under a lot of stress with all of these commitments pulling me in different directions. Needless to say my will to workout and get to the gym has been almost non-existent. . . but this morning I decided to get back to it and make training a part of my life AT ALL COSTS!

Well physically where am I? Some may remember that I suffered an injury during the third phase of S2B. After that setback I decided to give the Book of Muscle a shot, but I got bored with that real quick. I then started doing some of the pre/re-hab portion of S2B trying to fix some noted imbalances. Then came the layoff. . .which actually might have been needed. My body feels good, I'm moving good. . . but I won't be fooled I'm going to still attack my weaknesses through mobility training and abdominal stability exercises. . .etc.

Okay so enough rambling. . . here's the workout. I'm doing Westside for Skinny Bastards.

Workout A

A: Max-Effort Lift (Work up to 5RM)
Bench Press

95x5
100x5
105x5
110x4

B: Supplemental Lift
Incline Bench w/ Neutral Grip

35sx6
35sx6
30sx5

C: Horizontal Row
BB Row

55x12
55x10
55x10
55x9

D: Rear Delt/Upper Back
External Rotations

10sx12
10sx12

E: Weighted Ab
Hanging Leg Raises

BW x 8
BW x 8
BW x 7


Notes

-Strength levels OBVIOUSLY low
-good workout regardless, IMO. . . felt good to get back to the gym honestly
-I chose this routine because it fit my current schedule; and it seems to focus both on strength/hypertrophy.


*Sorry this was so long!

-Matt

I figure I'll comment on my diet/supp plan as well. . . .

I'm going to be mirroring the S2B diet outlined in the book. . .which is simply applying what JB has been preaching in Massive Eating/Massive Eating Reloaded. . . etc.

As far as supplements go I'm using ON 100% Whey. . although I do have a "bag" on Costco protein for shakes and such. I'm also using Surge during and after lifting, Biotest Creatine, ZMA and fish oil capsules. That's it, nothing really extraordinary. . just trying to follow solid training/nutritional principles to meet my goals.

-Matt
