I am going to try my best to keep up with this journal. What I'm basically looking to do very simply is track my workouts on a daily basis - and monitor my food as well to an extent. The reason I called this journal my "unsual style" training log is because the way I have trained the past 2-3 years or so most would consider VERY strange.
In bodybuilding across the board no matter what forum you follow or what magazine you read REST is always pushed as 2-4 days per week out of the gym. The way that I've been training for almost 3 years now is basically training EVERY DAY. And I stress this because the style of training I'm doing allows for daily training - and I absolutely LOVE it.
Basically your workouts only last 25-40 minutes, and always consist of 22+ sets for whichever muscle group. The split that I've done for the past 2 years consistently is the following:
1. Chest
2. Back
3. Shoulders
4. Legs
5. Arms
And I'll do supersets, dropsets, trisets, all kinds of intensity techniques and do all of that in less than 30 minutes, typically. So it's a very intense style of working out, definitely not to failure, and it's often. I deadlift on leg day sometimes, and I go heavy SPORADICALLY. The most important thing that I think this program allowed me to do is truly listen to my body. When I felt like going heavy I'd go balls out - and vice versa.
Anyway supplements I'm taking are SuperPump250, Lipo-6, and whey protein, and finishing up a bottle of Stoked. :)
