The Best I Can Be

Training Logs
#1

Starting this log for myself to keep track of everything and save all the random bits of paper with workouts lying around. Not expecting anyone to follow along but will give a brief intro anyway -

Height: 6’5
Weight: 250lbs
Goal: continue to bulk

I am using Layne Norton’s PHAT routine. I think its the real deal. First (recorded) workout will be tomorrow.

Diet is the same everyday other than the two off days where I drop my workout nutrition so I don’t see a need to write that up. It totals 4500kcals - I sometimes eat more when i feel the need.

If anyone does want to follow along for motivation that would be great! or if anyone has any questions, again I am happy.
