NoLimit's Training Log

[musclesntx]

Let's get this conversation going while it's on my mind. Here, we'll discuss your training and nutrition. LOL

Thank me later, when you're like 250.

This log is to be criticized, commented on, and to be given advice. I’ve been lifting for about 3 years total now and for about the past 2 years have stuck with reps in the 4 -8 range for main lifts and 8 - 12 reps for assisting lifts. Generally I would only lift 1 body part per session once a week. I am seeing if lifting each body part 2x a week will make a difference. I am currently on a split like this:

* Side notes: I lift in my basement by myself with limited equipment. I have to come up with different items to use for my lifts like the wood beam in my basement for pull ups which I can’t even wrap my fingers around and saw horses for dips. So please don’t recommend any machines I should be using or fancy equipment. BB/DB/Pulley is all I have.
