    Gonna keep this basic, and simple!
    But I really would like to log my new routine that I intend to stick with for quite some time.
    Its essentially a Westside hybrid routine.
    The foundation is big compound movements, big numbers (well, big numbers for me haha)

    Today and tomorrow are rest days and I intend to sleep A LOT to fully recover and be ready to tackle monday full force!
    And luckily this time I have a buddy that will be training with me so I will hopefully have more focus and drive with someone to push me (and help spot lol)

    Wish me luck! Will update Monday!



    Current stack:

    OT 2/2/2
    OxiMega Fish Oil 1/1 (1 with morning OT and the other with pre-workout OT)
    OxiMega Green (with breakfast)

    Blue Gene (1 hr pre-workout)
    GM (30 min pre-workout)
    ON Whey Gold (various times throughout the day)

    I just ran out of WF so I may order a tub soon, and might get some Glycer as well, been wanting to try it.


    OT/OM/BG/GM

      Off day today, got up early to get some errands taken care of.
      Just popped the BG as I am already feeling sluggish, ugh.
      Gonna take some GM soon to give me a boost.

      MIGHT sneak in some light cardio tonight...

                Friday, March 26

                Ended up not going to my "home gym" tonight and went to the YMCA with a friend.
                Pretty nice place, haven't been there since they upgraded it.
                Thinking about switching to it...
                The only con is it isnt 24/7 but they have a nicer facility with more room and more racks

                Routine:

                (only did half my leg routine tonight since i was mainly spottin my buddy tryin' to get his bench up and teaching him how to squat right)

                Squats 5x3 @ 100/150/200/250/300
                Hack Squat (added tonight) 4x8 @ 200
                Leg EXt 4x10 @ 150
                Calf Raises 2x15 @ 200
