Hi All,

j/k w/the title

Anyhow, I've been lifting for about 4-5 months now and taking my time in the gym very seriously. I started with very little muscle on my frame, my stats were: 5'9", 140 lbs. I'm now 161lbs and my newbie strenght has gone way up. Bench for instance went from about 85lbs to about 150 lbs for 5 reps.

Now, I've been slowly implementing alot of the advice I've read here on the forums and I decided to start a journal to document for myself and others who care to read what I am accomplishing in the gym.

One caveat - I have a injured shoulder. hadicapped is more like it unfortunately because ad far as I know it will never recover. My anterior delt is completly atrophied, my lateral delt(side, not sure if I have the correct name) is numb but functional, and my rear delt is weakened. nerve damage is the culprit, and it is only in my right shoulder.

It effects excersizes involving lifting over my head, and to a lesser extent many pressing and pulling excersizes, although I can fight through it and see improvement.

Anyhow, the following is the routine I am going to employ, for at least the next 8 weeks: I will alternate two days worth of excersizes, based on push/pull involving compound excersises.

Day One:

Squats - 3 x 5 - still judging weight so slowly moving up each week
Barbell Flat Bench - 3 x 5 of around 90% 1rm.
Decline Barbell Bench - 3 x 5 of around 90% 1rm
Incline Dumbell press (15 degrees or so, and higher and my shoulder greatly limits me) 3 x 5 of what i would guess to be around 90%
Dips - 3 x failure (will add wieght as strength progresses)
One item of accessory work(bis , calves raises, tris, etc.)

Day Two:

Deadlift - 3 x 5 - still judging weight
Pullups Wide Grip - 3 x failure
Bent Over Barbell Row - 3 x 10 - still judging weight
Pullups Close parellel grip - 3 x failure
One Arm Dumbell Rows - 3 x 7-8
Dumbell Shrugs - 3 x 7-8

Alternating on a M-W-F rotation once I get on schedule with cardio on one of the weekend days.

Week One - 1, 2, 1
Week Two - 2, 1, 2
Week Three - 1, 2, 1
and so on...

Certainly not set in stone, I will keep the basic routine but I'm sure I will tweak here and there.

My diet I think is lacking so I will need to get it in order. I'm taking in a good amount of protein (at least 1:1 right now), but I think I should get more calories per day. I'm fairly unorganized ATM so I will need to get a diet down.

Anyhow, wish me luck and I'll keep this as up to date as possible.
