Heavy Lifting

My new workout schedule is as follows:

Monday: Chest

Tuesday: Biceps Triceps Forearms Traps

Wednesday: Legs

Thursday: Upper Back, Shoulders

Friday: Lower Back

Saturday: Mixed light weight

Sunday: Mixed light weight

Abs everyday
Running everyday

The goal for running is at least 30 minutes on the treadmill. Treadmill runs only. Outdoor runs at the moment will be detrimental due to stress on my knees as well as the sun. I won't be able to endure that long of a workout in the sun anyway.

Also doing a 5/3/1 routine.

It basically works like a pyramid; ending with the 1 rep max. Definitely going to need a spotter. Afterwards the weight gets cut down based on the My Strength Standards webpage. It's 10 reps and 5 sets. I'm gonna give myself about a 1 minute rest.

I'm only going to do this routine with the following lifts:

Flat Bench Press
Deadlifts
Squats

Every other lift will be based on the reps to failure theory.

This should leave me in pain everyday.

Last and First

Today will be my last day at the University of Houston Recreation Center.

I'll start with cardio for the day. After that I'll move onto light weight high rep movements. Mostly just to prepare myself for tomorrow and my big move to the Texas A&M Recreation Center in Kingsville.
