Ok the lazies, if a word, have taken hold of me... Yeah it's been 6-7wks since I opened to door, hell looked at a wieght

for that matter, at my gym. This time I wanna do it right(with all the help I can get). . In fact my diet has been

in the gutter, very pathetic! I've never planned, what ever was convenient or easy worked. I'm working on a new workout

routine but want to have a diet plan in place. Routine got it! Diet plan lets just say, freakin' greek to me.

Can anyone suggest where I can find 'Healthy diet planning for dummies'?  Thx

Ok after a long 4-5wk lay off from posting anything on my "new" routine.. Here ya go!! ohh the actual first week found the circular file,(like a bone head) I ripped it out and threw it away.

To give fair warning this will be rather long winded and confusing... Why because every monday I rotated the lift I started with between flat bench and Incline. 

Also the gym(if you want to call it that) is 24hr and for safety reasons do not have bars only 2 smith machines. One is zero weight(0wt),

and the other normal(reg), I rekon( a little Ga. humor). I used which ever was open.. Leg press I "graduated" on my third week from nautilus(girls machine no offense ladies a guy thing)

to the plate for weight or sled type ....... That said here we go:                                                                                                                         Weeks

Lot of stuff here.... Thinking I might restructure it a little after this next week. Less lifts per day, more intense aka: heavier weights with less reps using compound movements. My food for thought this week........
