canadian_husker's workout log
« on: May 07, 2007, 12:02:49 AM »
ok here's goes nothing

i'm 6'2 230...my bodyfat should be lower than it is, but i'm working on that.

just moved to Edmonton, AB at the end of february and the new house doesn't have enough room for my bench so i had to suck it up and join a gym (which i usually can't stand). so i joined a rec center and if you go at the right times it's like having your own personal gym. lately there have not been more than 10 people there.

any questions or comments fire away...if anyone even reads this

i started on april 9th

here's my split now

Mon: Shoulders
Tue: Back
Wed: Chest
Thur: Biceps...this is basically a cardio day, but i threw in biceps
Fri: OFF
Sat: Legs, Back
Sun: Chest, Triceps

Abs 3-4 times a week
cardio 4-5 times a week
Go Big Red!!!
