new job, new workouts....
« on: June 15, 2006, 02:28:29 PM »
So i have been gone for a while, with some schedule changes my internet time has been limited.  I recently switched jobs though and my new office is right in the same plaza as my gym.  Also, my job is in a bizzare split shift that keeps me there between 10-2 and then from 7-11.  These being the peak hours for people calling my office leaves me with 5 hours inbetween.  I would like to take advantage of this split shift and optimize my gym time.  5 hours is a bit much to spend in the gym, but that would include my lunchtime and possibly a nap.  I have thought about switching to a powerlifting regimen for some time now and forgetting about isolation exercises. Maybe keep a little beachwork in there but i really want to build my explosive strength and work on strength building and compound movements.  What sort of regimen would you suggest for this and would doing cardio in the AM before work be detrimental to my cause?  My job conveniently has fridges and even a blender available and specified break periods so meal distribution and timing has no guesswork anymore.  I know I should eat more, but for timing meals around my workouts, what should i fuel myself with before my workout and what should i replenish with after?  Supplementation suggestions would help.  I do not want to waste money on overpriced overmarketed products that don't work.  Maybe just creatine, glutamine, aminos, multivitamin and an NO2 product.  Any suggestions?

If you work weekdays only I'd do the following:

M-Th: Push Day
Tu-F: Pull Day
W: Legs

Alternate heavy & light days for the upper body
