winter training

I have started going heavy and lowering my reps...I always do this and pig out in the winter...
I am trying something a little diff this time around...I am concentrating on squat,deads,and flat bench..and taking 3-4 days off between workouts...
1. legs..squats-5 sets...hack squats-3-4 sets.
2. chest,shoulders...flat bench-5 sets...militarys-5 sets.
3. back..deads or bb rows-5 sets...shrugs 3-4 sets.

I started this 7 weeks ago...I have gone from 196lbs to 216lbs..I have gained some fat but I have gotten stronger at every workout...
my goal is to reach 230lbs this winter!

where are you guys at with your training?

ROTFLMAO thats a fuckin classic, i spit out my cereal you fucker. ( by the way its 230PM and i'm eating breakfast, looooong nite)

i know what you mean. the college girls of Va loved it!!! yeah your lifts are great for a old man, hahahahaha i would love to see you punk out some pretty boys at your gym.

oh yeah, i probably have a torn meniscus and torn colateral ligament, any idea on how long i would be out with surgery and rehab? i need to get backon the mat, or at least hit a bag. but any kind of twisting kills me.

I don't know about you fellas but cold weather makes me feel like eating, eating, and eating some more. I think I'm getting ready to hibernate soon.

Bout ready to add to my already large winter coat of flab */ Training is good, just switched gyms as I just recently moved and its ok. Ive had some good improvement in my bench, which was one of my weaker points, so Im pleased. Been off for almost 3 months now (boy does this suck) and looking forward to the future. Wanting to hit 250 this winter, but that means Ill be fatter than I am now, dont know if its possible /t\
