DISCUSSION
The last few weeks have still been somewhat on and off re training. I really want to get back into a consistent training schedule by the start of 2011.
I am one of the few selected to beta test LG Sciences' new 7-keto DHEA topical. I personally LOVE topical 7-keto, and DermaTherm (the original) is the best fat loss topical that I have ever used, and now that it is gone, there are no topicals containing 7-keto DHEA. I am very interested in seeing how this is going to go - at 12 sprays each use, the beta testing bottle will last until the end of the year, which is about perfect.
GOALS
I am going to CONTINUE TO RECOMP whilst maintaining 8-10% bodyfat (preferably closer to 8% bodyfat), focusing specifically on:
* Capping my delts and adding a little more mass to my arms
* Regaining my strength
* Returning to a decent level of fitness
TRAINING
Weights
Day 1: Shoulders
Day 2: Arms
Day 3: Full-Body
Day 4: Full-Body
Day 5: Upper Body
Resistance sessions get done in this order each week. I have a day of just cardio - which will be done where my body feels that it needs it (although I will endeavour to do it on Thursday), and a day OFF ALL training each week (usually Sunday).
I use lower reps - not just so that I can lift heavier, but because lower reps at a heavy weight for me personally means improved strength, more mass, and definite leaning. I always lift as heavy as I can for the reps I set out to do each session, and I use 30 seconds to 1 minute recovery between sets/supersets/trisets/giant sets.
I do not do any specific work for my legs as my lower body overwhelms my upper body. If I train legs, I gain muscle mass despite what I do and more muscle in my legs is NOT what I want or need. ANY Legs work (i.e. Full-Body days) is going to be specific to Hamstrings, and I will deliberately use lighter weights, bodyweight, or plyometric exercises only.
Cardio
Day 1: HIIT Cardio
Day 2: 20 min Cardio
Day 3: HIIT Cardio
Day 4: 20 min Cardio
Day 5 HIIT Cardio
Day 6: 20 min Cardio
Cardio sessions get done in this order each week. Note that the days do not "match" the same numbered resistance day.
Flexibility
Stretch 20-30 minutes every training day (i.e. six days a week).
NUTRITION
My nutrition does not play as much of a role as my training does in my conditioning - however, I am working on making it better, so that it COMPLIMENTS my training and works WITH my body, instead of constantly making everything more difficult.
I generally follow a calorie cycling method, with 5-6 meals daily, 2-3 hours apart.
I drink 1-2 UK galleons (a UK galleon is 4.54 litres) of water a day, with the only other liquid that I consume re drinks being herbal or green tea.

Topicals: 50-100mg of 7-keto DHEA applied post-post-training shower.
Vitamin C: 1 gram first thing, 1 gram immediately post-training, and 1 gram pre-bed.
I am planning on making 2011 a BIG year for me.
But, it's still 2010 and there's just under three weeks left until the end of the year . . .
I'm going to make the MOST of them!
