Starting over-My return to Consistent Training Journal

New member
Hello all

It has been a long time since I have managed to keep a consistent training schedule.Due to various circumstances in my life I strayed from my training for close to a year.Although I deeply regret this fact it is in the past now and I must move forward with a positive mindset.Now that my life is stable and I have a consistent job/money it is time to dedicate my effort back towards my passion,getting stronger.I am basically a newbie again from a physical persective,but have two assets on my side,youth and knowledge.

My main focus of this journal is to help me maintain focus and consistency as I move forward with regaining my lost strength.My aim for the next 3 months is basically to STRICTLY adhere to a basic training and diet template without deviation.
My current stats and lifts
Age-21
height-6'4
weight-203lb
bodyfat-100% lol......seriously about 22-24% due to my horrendous diet of the last year
Squat-160x5
Deadlift-235x5
Bench-135x5
Overhead-100x5

As you can basically see I am overfat with piss-poor strength at this stage.However I think in the first few months back to training I will gain loads of strength due to newbie gains.
My goals for 3 months from now
Weight-195lb
bf-17-18%
Squat-225x5
Deadlift-315x5
Bench-170x5
Overhead press-125x5
They might seem ambitious,but I believe I can reach and possibly exceed them If I put forth the effort.

Training
My training is basically going to be Mark Rippetoes strarting strength program with a few minor alterations.

Workout A
Squat 3x5
Bench 3x5
Deadlift 3x5
Dips 2x8

Workout B
Front squat 3x5
Power clean 5x3
Overhead press 3x5
Light goodmornings 2x8 for posterior chain
Chin-ups-as many as I can do for 3 sets,ultimately reaching 3x8
The workouts are alternated 3 times a week A,B,A,B,A etc

Thats it,basic no frills compound training.I will walk daily for 30mins and work my way up to cardio 2-3 times a week once recovery improves.

Diet
Protein,protein and more protein :) jk .I have yet to hammer out the final details on diet.I am thinking of around 300-350g protein a day from food sources combined with a load of fiberous vegetables.I will add extra cals if needed but I am aiming for about 2500-2600cal a day.This should a allow me to slowly lose fat/recomposition while getting stronger.

Thats all for now...I will post up my first workout later today.

LOl you've restarted like how many times now?

3 times,I can understand why that would be almost pathetic to onlookers but thats life.Unexpected things transpire and life changes in ways that are not always favorable to our goals/aspirations,which have to take a back seat to reality.One can only try to keep moving forward and put past failures behind them.
 
22-3-08 Week 1 Session 1

Workout A
Squats
95x5
115x5
145x5x3
Not much to say here,just getting the movement down again.First few sets felt awkward but the last two sets at 145 were easy.Increase next time.

Bench
95x5
115x5
135x5x3
Easy

Deadlifts
135x5
165x5
185x5
205x5
225x5
weight was easy,up 5lb next time

All easy stuff to start back to training.I will surpass these lifts soon hopefully.

Diet was around 2300cal with 274g protein according to fitday,which is close to what I am aiming for.

Thats all for now :)
