Where are you??? Morning Tri

I'm not dead yet! I feel fine, I feel happy!

Just been training and eating. I quit drinking all alcohol, seemed to bloat me. It's been over 10 days now, my stomach and face look smaller. Heehehehe

I think it's time for a new lifting rountine, I've been on this plan a long time now. I need a change! I may slow it down and start doing 2 second negative and 6 second positive TUT. Hope I'm saying that correctly. I need to figure out a new plan..

Yesterday at the gym, I thought I ruptured my ear drums from my MP3 player being too loud. I kept hearing these chains clanging. I turned it down and still heard the annoying chains rattling. I glance to my right and some dudes are doing bench presses with these chains attached to the barbell. WTF is up with that? I'm such a gym dork!

Morning,
I'd like to start a new lifting plan on Monday. The current plan I'm following is Push/Pull I do like weight training five days a week, M-F. I do enjoy working legs 2x a week because I tend to carry fat in my hips/thighs.

I'm kind of at a loss at where to start with creating a new plan. I know how to train for a 10k, 20k, 2 mile open water swim or a century bike ride but I'm lost here. Are there some exercises you always do like squats and deads? Should I mix up my pairings of muscle groups to chest/back, bis/tris? Is there an optimum plan to follow after doing a push/pull rountine like above?

I think "theshortone" posted her leg workout awhile back and I was thinking of following that for legs days. I want something really kickass hard for the next eight weeks. I can put all of my energies into lifting right now. I'm making progress, throughly enjoying it and have enough calluses on my palms now to justify buying lifting gloves!

Any help or advice would be appreciated!
