Hello everyone!
This is my official training and diet log, and I’m excited to share my journey with you all. I’ll be documenting my progress step-by-step, including workouts, nutrition, and supplement use. Hopefully, this log will help others and give me a chance to track my progress while staying accountable.
Starting Stats:
- Age: 27
- Height: 5'6"
- Weight: 178.4 lbs
- Injury: Herniated disc in my lower back (injured at work in June)
I’m going to take things slow in the beginning as I’m still recovering from my back injury. My main focus is on healing and working around the injury while rebuilding strength. I will be easing back into my training with a focus on mobility, core strengthening, and gradual load increases.
Training:
- Initially, I'll be doing a full-body routine 3-4 times a week, with a focus on rehab and corrective exercises for my lower back. As I progress, I’ll slowly increase the intensity and volume to build muscle while managing my injury.
Supplements:
Here’s a list of the supplements I’m currently using:
- Amp02 (Pre-workout stimulant): I’ll be using this to help with energy and focus during my workouts.
- Glutamine (5g post-workout): For muscle recovery and reducing soreness.
- Big Blast (Post-workout shake): High-quality protein to support recovery and muscle growth.
- Forged Joint Repair: I’ve had issues with joint pain, so this is essential for maintaining joint health.
- NTBM Skeletal Balm: For joint support and pain relief, especially in my lower back and knees.
- One-A-Day Men's Multivitamin: To cover my daily micronutrient needs.
- NTBM Gear: For overall health and performance support.
- NTKTS (Stim-Free Pre-workout): On days when I don’t want a stimulant, I’ll be using this for focus and endurance without the crash.
Goals:
- Short-term: Focus on rehabilitation, strengthening my core, and improving flexibility to fully recover from my herniated disc.
- Medium-term: Slowly start to increase volume and load on lifts to regain strength and muscle mass.
- Long-term: After recovery, I plan to gradually increase intensity to build muscle, focusing on maintaining a lean physique.
I’ll be updating this log regularly with my workouts, diet changes, and progress. Please feel free to ask questions, offer advice, or share your own experiences with training around injuries. Your input is always appreciated!
Stay tuned for more updates, and I look forward to sharing my journey with you all!
