Everything looks good steve, i know hard it is to get that workout session in while doing soccer full-time, i once were a soccer player so i know how much times goes into that. your knowledge is amazing for being 16, like we say nutrition is so importand for the body. i know alot of soccer players and nobody did train really often all they did was bench press and db curls, that the basic what they do. i think when you give up the soccer, you´ll be a succesful bodybuilder if you choose to become one, meaning competing. also look really big for a 16 yr old

I haven't trained in 2 weeks. I'm a starter on varsity this year I really wanna focus on my game. Trust me when I get back, it's game time.

Thank you maxmonzter! I'm trying to be a well rounded kid, not just a bodybuilder. I'm majoring in biochem in college so I plan to stick with it my entire life. I'm focusing on doing well in school, maintaining starting center-mid pos for varsity and keeping my size I have. All this plus my girl and friends.

Thanks for all the support and sorry for no sessions!

Updates! Some good and bad news.

First, bad news;

I had gotten back from the doctor yesterday and I was told that my severe acute shin splints have progressed into stress fractures. If I continued to play, I would have needed a rod placed in my leg for them to heal. This puts me out of the season, and maybe even next season. Fucking sucks, last year I was not a starter on varsity, and this year I get injured for good.

My coach, when I got back from my first injury, had me do ungodly amounts of fitness to get back into shape. Example of 1session:

Magic Squares (sprint 1 side of the field, jog 1, sprint 2, job 2, sprint 3, jog 4, whole field, etc).
10 laps around track, in 15 minutes.
5 laps around soccer field, in 7 minutes.
4 min of suicides.

^^Torture.

The good news;

I'm in the gym again! Diet is back on heavy and everything is where it's at during the summer! Just purchased creatine monohydrate, ON whey and BCAA's. Also have straight dextrose. I have no other choice, so it's time to get serious and do damage now.

No deadlifts. No legs. And little heavy-load, standing exercises.

My split:


Day 1: Chest
Day 2: Back
Day 3: OFF
Day 4: Shoulders
Day 5: Arms

Simple and works perfectly for me, better than frequency based program. My weights are ganna be down but no sweat I'll get 'em back.

So, here we go!! :)

That's a bitch about your legs mate. My brother had a similar problem, and he had compartment syndrome in his calves. They had to operate on his calves to split the muscle casings or something like that. He's got some great scars now.

How long til you might be good to train legs again?

Yeah that's my I'm out for the season I think. If I continue I'll need surgery and shit and it's really not worth it, I'm a junior in highschool so I have another year to play V.

Idk :( I hope around November. I might still deadlift, just because it's worth it haha.

Ive had a similar problem on both legs a few years back. I was training 6 days a week. Played soccer and trained for survival runs. I think it was a bit oo much. I had to stop running for several weeks because of the pain and at night it became worse. After 3 months it was slowly getting better and after 5-6 months I was totally recovered.

Yeah bro, people say you're a bitch if you can't go through it but they're so incredibly painful, and hinder performance so much there's no point in demoralizing yourself. Glad they're better though w/ no surgery!

Sucks on the shin splints turning into stress fractures! I had chronic shin splints, the carpel tunnel version when I was playing footy. Unfortunately the curse of getting fit and keeping the jarring down is tough. Might be worth seeing an podiatrist and see if there is any physiological reason for the problems, or if it is just overuse and young growing body.

On the diet side of things; are you eating lots of fruit and veges and not including them on the list? As much as I love protein (steak, chops, milk...... mmmmmm) and macros in general I notice a lot of people seem to not talk about the fruit and vege (unless it was a bucks night show). Half of my snacks are fruits or veges.

Oh and I hate weight gainers.

Yeah true. They're extremely painful. I went to my orthopedic and he said that it was caused by the fluctuation of running surfaces as well has poor conditioning. Which is off because 2 months before soccer training I was non-stop running/cardio for my competition.

I usually take in the majority of my fruit in the morning. Just the fact that the body stops other metabolic activities just to metabolize fructose keeps me away from eating it constantly throughout the day. Not just that but the heightened BGL's if taken in high loads as well.

I love some vege's and I list everything I eat. Phytonutrients and such are imporant for me (and vit. and minerals of course), I probably eat a good amount of them 3-4x/wk and the remaining days sprinkles.

The previous day I had broccoli at 2 meals as an additive. I like it, different texture and taste :)
Oh and I hate weight gainers.

I only use a packaged gainer if I NEED to. Otherwise I blend my own shakes if I'm on the run...that's what the KMarooni is LOL.

^^ Sorry just could only see two serves of veges and one of fruits. Combined with the large amount of dairy I was wondering if there couldn't be more veges.

Actually on the fructose thing; I think to some extent that it is overhyped (not convinced either way as I haven't done a lot of reading on it). Fruit doesn't actually contain a lot of sugar of any form, especially relative to the amount of fibre, vitamins and nutrients. Vegetables are even more pronounced in this respect and I agree with the adage that they are free foods (short of tubers like potatoes).
