Strive For Moreee

I’m starting a new training program based off of the PHAT training program. I will also be incorporating some training exercises and techniques from John Meadows and Jordan Peters as well. Goal is to gain lean mass gradually. I’m not in it for the sprint just running the marathon for the time being. That may change in the future. Ultimately I would like to do my first show in the next year. I know I have a lot of work to do but this is what I love and I definitely possess the discipline and look forward to feedback and constructive criticism. Program layout is as follows:
Monday: Upper Body Power
Tuesday: Lower Body Power
Wednesday: Active Rest (Cardio/Abs)
Thursday: Back and Shoulders Hypertrophy
Friday: Lower Body Hypertrophy
Saturday: Chest and Arms Hypertrophy
Sunday: Active Rest Day (Cardio/Abs)

I haven’t worked out diet completely yet but I’m going to keep protein around 1.5/lb of body weight, carbs probably around 300g on training days and about half that on active rest days. Fats about .75-1/kn of body weight. I know this is a lot of trial and error this is merely a starting point.

Also I ride about 10 miles total on bicycle to and from work daily so Cardio isn’t a huge priority for me. I’ve been doing this for a few weeks now and have leaned out a good bit from it so far. I may even skip cardio on active rest days to be honest. Again I’ll evaluate and look for opinions as well. I have an active job and on a normal day my phone tells me I walk at least 10,000 steps as a minimum. Normally it’s more.

First few training days I used to assess my strength on the power days because honestly it’s been awhile since I’ve came close to any type of max whatsoever. Also have been having issues with my right knee feels like I pretty solid strain possibly even a slight tear in my lateral meniscus so the power lower body day was skipped but I eased back into legs on the hypertrophy day..

Anyways here’s the first week up to this morning.
