LoiacanoA Training Log

[loiacanoa]

Hello to all who happen to come across this. My name is Aaron I'm 20 years old and weigh around 185 lbs. I've been training for almost two years now. I've decided to keep a training log to keep better track of my workouts. I plan on bulking for one more month before I start to cut for the summer. Okay, lets go!

A Little More About My Training...

I just started working out at a new gym called Gym Warriors in Peabody MA. Before this I was working out at a YMCA. I felt this was a necessary change to better my physique. I also have been dealing with a left anterior deltoid problem and have been getting deep tissue massages to help it heal. The day that aggravates my shoulder the most is chest day. My training split is slightly different week to week. This is because my work schedule changes from week to week so I have to get to the gym when I can. My favorite body parts to train are back and legs. I'm one who trains for feel not for weight. I will not sacrifice form to move a certain weight. I guess thats all for now.

Welcome to the logs. I think it would be helpful if you put up the numbers you are putting up as well. I am one that trains for feel as well and dont pay so much attention to the weights but I still think it would help you to track progress and us to give better feedback. Big bodybuilders are strong bodybuilders in the end. Other than that, great exercise selection and I look forward to seeing more of your work!

Sweet. Another log. Numbers are good, keep it up. Changing gyms helps out a lot because there is a different intensity in each gym. I wish my gym was more "hardcore."

I've definitely noticed more motivation and intensity by going to this new gym. Majority of the people who train there are bodybuilders or power lifters so that helps out too! Thanks for the support mexi.

Tuesday: OFF

Unfortunately, because of my work schedule, I cannot make it to the gym today. Normally, I wouldn't be taking Tuesdays off. Being a waiter my work schedule is different week to week and often times requires double shifts. This isn't good for bodybuilding! LOL

Good to see a new log. Session looked good too. Hope you manage to get to the gym as planned without too many work interruptions!

 

[loiacanoa]

Thanks Rocky, I'll be back tomorrow!
