Ok, I got a bit of the holiday bloat going and have ballooned up to 235 and 20%, time to slim back down. Will lean out through March (probably bottoming out around 210), cruise for a month, then put a bit of weight back on. I normally compete in PL, but am taking an extended leave of absence from the sport and concentrating on some physique goals for a while. Training is a mix of high intensity/low volume and low intensity/high volume, progressing an exercise over 3-6 weeks before switching it out. Will get taped and take some pictures next week to track progress.
Training split looks like this:
Day 1- Squat/legs
Day 2- Pressing/upper body
Day 3- Deadlift/Back and biceps
Day 4- Rest
and repeat
Here is some training over the last week:
