I plan to do chins & dips on Thursday. Then on Sunday I'll test my strength on the big 3.

Seeing as its summertime. I'm going to mix things up a bit and focus on using my weight vest & ankle weights for some brutal cardio sessions. The goal is to do weighted stairs daily. At first the focus will be on time. Once I get up to 45 minutes time I'll increase the speed gradually for a goal of 100 flights (down and up) in 45 minutes. I want do any other type of cardio whatsoever.

For strength training I will train once a week on dips/chins & once a week on the squats/bench press/deadlift. Also I'll do some prehab work for ankles, rotator cuff, grip, and neck weekly or bi-weekly at the end of the routine.

Hopefully by the end of the summer I'll have enough stamina to lift weights while wearing the weight vest and ankle weights. Thats the goal. My bodyweight is at 195 lbs and 14% bodyfat according to my tanita scale. My weight may fluctuate as a result of training. While I would like to reach 220 at single digit bodyfat % I don't mind going as low as 170 lbs. We will see what happens.

I'm going to use a notebook to log my daily workouts. I hope to update this log weekly but will try to update more often if possible.

Other goals for 2008 that I'll focus on after the summer include grip strength and swimming (all styles). Flexibility is important also.
