Enjoy lurking the forums and reading other peoples logs so decided to create my own one to show progress...
Feel free to provide criticism/comments where improvements can be made or ask questions.
Background:
I used to lift when I was a lot younger and then just didn't for years.
2 years ago I wanted to get myself back in shape, or had a mid-life crisis, still not decided which, and got back in the gym.
First 6 months were awful!...
I was one of those "I just want to tone up" guys who had bad form on most things and made little progress in getting bigger or stronger...oh and every day was biceps day
I then got one of the PTs at the gym to give me a "proper" routine for weightlifting and loved it! Soon as I saw the weights start going up I became hooked and its a constant competition with myself to improve and get stronger. Since then I've fixed most of my bad form issues (I'm sure some still exist 
) , done my homework and understand a lot more about my body, metabolism, testosterone, diet, sleep etc. and made some decent progress.
Stats:
5 10"
89Kg 20% BF
34 years old
Goals:
To get stronger and lift heavier.
Currently my weight is 89 Kg and 20% BF
My weight doesn't bother me as long as I get stronger.
I've put on a lot of weight/muscle over the last year but the BF has remained between 15 and 20%. As long as it doesn't go over 20% its not an issue but it does need to start coming down. It was at 12% this time last year but strength trumps abs.
Just changed my routine from heavy lifting (4x5, 1x3) to (3x8, 1x6)
3 day split
day 1: back
day 2: chest & arms
day 3: legs & shoulders
Core done at the end of each day
Log will be kept up to date with stats/pics and probably just rants and comments about how I cant get past my newest plateau and why people insist on using the squat rack for anything but actual squats!
Enjoy....
