Alright! Im 20 years old and have been doing weight training for years now on and off. I am pretty happy with the way i am now but thought i would document my six week challenge! I am doing 2-a-day training 6 days a week.
I will document all my dieting and workouts along the way along with any difficulties or achievements i will encounter.
Hopfully it will be a tough and successful six weeks! Hope everyone enjoys my journey. Feel free to ask questions or comment where ever, when ever you like.

thanks aqua!
havnt really set any specific goals as of yet. Just trying to train hard for 6 weeks and see where i can get. Overall strength gains while dropping body fat and building size are always goals although achieving all three at once will be difficult!

How often do you plan on running? My legs would probably be too tired to squat/DL after all that running.
EDIT: regarding your squats, try narrowing your grip, pointing your elbows down, and pushing your knees out.
I suggest watching the “So you think you can squat” series.
