2010 gains -- 6 pounds of lean mass, 2 pounds of fat.
After a foot injury that healed and subsequently turned into a knee injury, It turned out that I only got to have four months of weight training for the entire year.
Being a 30 year old ectomorph, it takes a huge amount of time, like two months for me, to be able to train at a full potential. I simply get way too sore for the first 6-8 weeks and I can barely do each muscle group once per week. Right now, though, I'm wreckin' it in the weight room. I'm getting in 6-8 workouts per week and I can actually do some muscle groups more than once within the same week.
I have found a good rhythm to my workouts that are something like;
-chest-triceps
-quads-glutes
-upper back-biceps
-hamstrings-calves
-leftovers like shoulders-core
I hit my core every day at the end of the sessions and my shoulders do get quite a lot of work from the other arm workouts. I usually hit up the posterior and medial delts with the upper back and the anterior delt with the chest workouts.
I do some light squats every day for my warm ups because cardio is boring as hell and I'm avoiding it for now. They're kinda sweet looking, standing on the flat side of a BOSU with weight on my back. I did some RDLs on the BOSU a week back and I hit an unreal level of soreness. I'll be doing that again this week.
The damn knee is holding me back on my gains. I don't know if I'll be able to hit my goals without that lower body mass I'm missing out on. I'm gonna have to play with "the burn" on some lighter weights and see what happens.
I am almost at capacity for eating. I really cant choke any more food down that I do right now. I wish that I had more of an appetite when I wake up. Some days I do and I can feel a huge difference in my energy levels throughout the entire day. I may need to start supplementing.
