GOALS-
Stay Injury free-
This is first on my list because this aging body doesn't seem to want to cooperate at times. LOL I do everything I can to keep my self off the injured list.
My warm up time has almost tripled over the last year or so. From getting the blood flowing on the tred to rotator cuff warm ups to stretching in the middle of warming up and after, now even between sets.
Training has gone from super high intensity, pushing hard and lifting heavy, to moderate to high across the board (work smarter, not harder).
Constant Improvement of Training-
Training has gotten pretty simple for me I pick a training technique, run it for 8 to 10 weeks and then switch it up. What I choose as a switch up usually has to do with what's going on in my life, any injuries, projected sleep, stress levels, projected work schedule, ect...
Right now I'm doing a slow decent and then exploding to the top. I chose it because of the shoulder problems I was having. It allowed me to stay in good form, work on stabilizer muscles and not put such a load on my shoulders.
Nail My Diet-
I've been carb cycling and have gotten myself set so I keep my same weight and loose body fat. What I would like to do is start adding a medium day or two so my high days aren't so high and my low days aren't so low. Then eventually get the same numbers across the board year round for lean gains all the time.
It can be done. It will have to be the right combination of diet, training, cardio, rest and anabolics. It's going to take some time and will probably be a lot of trial and error. I can visualize what needs to be done. It's just going to take time. That's ok though, I've got nuttin' but time
Get Better Rest-
This is always the toughest of all for me. I've had trouble sleeping for quite a long time. I could live off of 4 or 5 hours a night pretty easy without training. While I train, I definitely could use more sleep. I'm sure I'm not getting the full benefits of rest as others do with a full 8hrs but after sleeping like this for so long, I'd like to think my body has gotten used to the struggle with sleep so it adapts to the growth from training better than someone that is used to getting it and then not getting it.
Makes me feel better to think that. LOL
Anabolics-
I used to be pretty wild with my anabolics usage. When I was younger, I would run 2 to 3 grams and not think anything of it. At that time I didn't know shit about diet and knew just enough training to get me by. Any gains I made just diminished because of it.
These days I like to keep it between 750mg and 1 gram. I have found that mega dosing gear just wasn't necessary as long as diet and training were nailed down.
This is a little of what's going on with me, what about you?
