Alright, so I have decided to start a training log primarily6 to gain my progress over the next three months before my season starts in February.

weight-225
Bodyfat-20-22% (estimation)
Max squat-315

Big baseball fan … I went to St. John’s but didn’t play. Have a few former classmates playing pro right now including one in the majors who played in the WS with the Giants. Where do you play? Don’t baseball coaches typically discourage heavy weight training?
Unfortunately some do, the good ones don’t. If you’re interested in some baseball lifting coaches, you can look up Eric Cressey and Driveline Baseball. I use to train at Cressey’s facilities and they both have some good info on there sites.

was really busy yesterday with school work so i didnt have time to post but was able to get a lift in.
every Monday-thursday for the next few weeks will consist of 15 sprints for Cardio/HIIT. That is what our coach has us doing at practice. i will try to split it up some days by doing shuttles and what not

i still trained this past week but got lazy about logging it. i usually log everything in a notebook, and then transfer it over to here but havent even done that. But im going to start back up today and stay consistent about logging! i squatted 245 for 5x5 and Db benched 80s for 3x8. Those were pretty much the highlights of my lift lol
I am deciding to take a little bit of a deload week as i am feeling pretty tired and underecovered.
