New Body Building Stage Has Begun

I won't wait until the new year syndrome where everyone is saying that will accomplish a million things or just one or two impossible things.
I begun my new body building stage on Wednesday with a target to increase strength and some mass. The main goal it will be strength on major compound exercises. This cycle will take 15-26 weeks in total and will be divided in 3 mini cycles, each mini cycle will take at least 3 weeks to 8 weeks to end.
The 1st mini cycle is the adaptation form to the exercises routine, the 2nd mini cycle is an intermediary short cycle to maintain good form the 3rd mini cycle is the one that will take longer and is the growth cycle, where some boundaries will be broken. I mean, this is when I will perform with unknown weight on my exercises with lower repetitions.

My workouts are super abbreviated routines with only 3 to 4 exercises, (a 5 exercise will be an exeption once in a while). The main core exercises are: Squat (surprised?? Guess not because I love to Squat!); Parallel Bar Dips; Dead lift; Back Row Exercises (pull ups and pull downs);  Bench Press (with barbell or dumbbells) and overhead presses. Occasionally I will perform some biceps curls, triceps exercises and calf raises.

Merry Christmas and Happy New 2012 Year!
See you soon!

Week Workouts

On Thursday I made a 25 minutes jogging in the morning, followed by rope jumping.
Today I went to the gym and trained Legs, Shoulders, Back and Biceps. The rep range is on 8-12 reps for upper body and 12-20 for legs.
