Fair enough. What works for me is BBing hypertrophy combined with an upper body an lower body strength day:

Monday - Leg Strength + Core (deads and squats)
Tuesday - Chest (hyper.)
Wednesday - Shoulders and arms (predominantly lateral and posterior delts)
Thursday - Leg Hypertrophy
Friday - Back
Saturday - Upper Body Strength

BUT, this is just what works for me right now :yes:
AND, I change this layout every 4-6 weeks depending on other factors, next could be more strength dominant

Morning brahs.

I'm going to start my first foray in to fitness, initial aim is 5-6km jogging through hiking tracks 4 nights a week followed by some at home lifting/crunches/squats etc. I've worked an office job for the last 7 years so I figure this will be a good aim for first couple of weeks.

Is there some pre/protien/mix of supplements I should be looking at to help maximize workout?

If you're not already a runner 5-6ks daily might be a stretch but your body will tell you.

Get good shoes, and I mean trail shoes likle Salomons or something with Gortex lining, not Nike's they will get shredded easily.

As for Supps, basic WPI/WPC and some creatine will likely cover off all your needs as long as you're eating a relatively decent diet.

You can assess how well you recover before deciding if you need them as you'll mainly want them for recovery given your aim is fitness and not big strength gains.

Oh and as a fellow desk jockey, you're going to want to stretch a fair bit, it will help with everything. Sitters like us tend to have poor glute/hammy/hip flexor movement.

How's your DL'ing going Birds? You had some solid momentum at one point.

Average mate, I hit a bad bout of tonsilitis / yeast infection and lost 20kg off the bar from taking a couple weeks off. It's taking significantly longer to get the strength back :(

Back on the rise again, though. I think last session I pulled 100 x 10, 140 x 8, 180 x 1, 170 x 3.

    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
    • Twas your car many moons ago that gave me the idea!
    • Forgot to mention. I love the fact that Greg, Gregged Up, the model of his car, that has so many gregged up stories about its build! I had to have a little laugh. At the same time thinking "That's the sort of thing I'd do to myself!"
    • Not yet, might end up being easter now, didn't end up getting time off over xmas.    I've been seeing some concerning things online now too. Lots of people with issues, could all be setup issues but the consequences in some cases are significant.    All of the below are other peoples stories, not mine and are unverified.  Seen 2 x broken adapter ring that destroyed the gearbox as it failed.   They still do seem to have twin plate rattle despite claims of silent. Several issues with it not holding power but some evidence of constant pressure on plate. Setup issues with bite point.   Lot of people after 2-4 weeks swapping back to another brand.    On the positive side, I've seen a barra put down near 1000hp at the wheels and its held it.  Also everyone seems to confirm the pedal is light.    Does have me a little cautious and looking at ATS carbon clutches again .......        
    • I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming.
