Master Don Juan
ok so i thought of a new routine and i tailored it according to my body's crappy genetics and injuries.
background info:
1.injury at L4,L5,S1 vertebra, herniation + nerve injury
2.i also have mood swings (happy > depressed > happy > depressed, you get the picture :rock: )
3. deadlift max 1rep is at 100-110kgs(220-230ish), squat max 1 rep is 100kgs(220lbs) , bench is 100kgs (220lbs)
4.im not going to increase the weight on squats or deadlifts till i can get a powerlifting coach to optimize my form.till that happens i have to increase the reps and intensity instead.BUT i will keep on increasing the weight on other exercises like the bench press
its a 4 day split with focus on my genetically weaker body parts (arms,upper body, stamina)
