Adam's Training Log

Hey guys, my name’s Adam and this is my training log. I’m 36 years old and my goal is to lose weight and look good. I’m about 20-25% bodyfat and I’d like that to be 15% or even lower. I have lacked motivation in the past, especially with my diet. I joined the forum to start a training log to help hold myself accountable and also to be part of a lifting community.

I edited this post because I was originally going to do a 3 day per week full-body routine, but I’d prefer to create a split. I gave the full body routine a test run on Saturday, and I’m so out of condition I couldn’t even finish it.

Day 1.
Bench Press 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3 (Three Ladders and Three Rungs)
Barbell Rows 3x6
Biceps / Triceps *optional

Day 2.
Squats 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3 (Three Ladders and Three Rungs)

Day 3.

Chins 3x6
Side / Rear Delts *optional

Frequency.

After reading around the site, I also decided against counting calories and am instead going to follow the T-Nation Simple Diet plan.
