Drewl's march towards fitness


Hello all, long time reader new poster. I decided to start a journal to give myself a little more incentive to stick with my workout routine. (worked out for about a year, made some gains, went off to college, stopped working out, got fat, here i am)

Age: 19
Heigth: 6'0'
Weight: 195

My weekly split is as follows

Day 1: chest/tri's
Day 3: Back/Biceps (light day* not including deadlifts)
Day 4: Legs
Day 5: Chest/ tri's
Day 7: Back/Biceps(heavy day including deadlifts)

The day thing might be confusing, between day 7 and day 1 there is a day of rest the days dont coincide with the days of the week (i.e. one week i will work out mon, wed, thur, sat, and sun, the next week tue, thur, fri, sat, and mon)

I've been attempting to focus on my diet more of recent
Typical day includes

Breakfast:
2 to 3 eggs or bowl of oatmeal
whey protein shake

Lunch:
Can of tuna(maybe two I love tuna)
small salad no dress

Pre-workout
1/2 cup whole wheat pasta w/ tomato sauce
whey shake

Dinner
8oz chicken breast w/ mixed veggies
fat free yogurt
whey shake

Bedtime
Egg protein shake mixed with orange juice(absolutely awful)

Tonight's workout was a chest/tri's day
I've been sick recently so i was a little down tonight

Flat incline bench
175x6
175x5
175x4

Dips
BW+25x7
BW+25x5
BW+25x4

Incline DB Press
55x6
55x4
55x0(my right arm was willing but the left wouldn't budge)

Skullcrushers
72x6
72x4

Altogether it felt like a pretty good workout, i wish i could have done some assisted SC though, a little dissapointed on only two sets.

I look forward to your advice and critique.

Leg day, in fact first ever 'leg day'.

Squats (first time squatting in two years so i went light to get my feet wet)
135x3x8

Leg raises
90x8
90x6
90x6

Calf Raises
70x8(pretty sure my form was awful on that set so i took off some weight)
60x8
60x6
60x6

Lunges
55lb DBx3x6

I also did some incline situps with 25lb added weight

I now know why I never did a leg day, because i can barely walk. Oh well i must learn to love this feeling. Time to eat some chicken and possible a can of tuna if i am feeling adventurous.

I was in a hurry to get to class on time so i did not get to do dips but i think the added weight on the flat bench made up for not doing them.
