TJ, good to hear your challenging yourself to get back in shape. I just hit the weights again this winter for the first time in 1.5 years. I have a different goal though. I have bet my wife I can put on 12 lbs. of muscle before she can lose 30 lbs. of baby weight. The winner gets. . . wait for it . . . wait for it . . . either a new big screen TV or a double oven. I'll let you decide who gets what.
Anyway I have started my program with Incline Bench, Squats, Power Cleans/Deadlift(alternating), Pull ups, Leg Curls, Military presses, and misc. ab exercises. I only really can find 2 days a week to work out. Any other tips on weight training?
I am trying to eat more calories in 5 daily meals and am shooting for 1gram of protein per pound or 170 grams a day. I know I'll fall a little short on the protein, but I trying to do this sans supplements, i.e. cheaply.
Any other tips you have for me. I want to get back in shape and increase my softball swing speed for next year. Good luck , bro.
