			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As with my Polyphasic updates I had to skip one week but to make up for it I have finalized my current workout routine</p>
<p>I have decided to do a quick clean Bulk until late November. My reasoning is that I had put on quite a bit of fat in the past few months and I don't want to let it go to waste.</p>
<p>It is much easier to gain muscle with a bit of a fat pad. More muscle = a faster metabolism. And of course a faster metabolism means faster weight loss.<br />
For those of you unfamiliar with the term bulk, its is basically just a switch to gaining muscle. So I increase my caloric intake and Lift heavy weights in the 8 - 10 rep range to gain muscle(and usually a little fat).</p>
<p>So here is my current exercise brake down:</p>
<p>the first number after an exercise is the Sets the second and third the rep range.</p>
<p>Monday:</p>
<p>Chest/Tris/shoulders</p>
<p>Bench 4x 8-10 (increasing weight each set)<br />
Incline Bench 4x 8–10 (increasing weight each set)<br />
Chair Dips<br />
Triceps Isolation (various exercises)<br />
Shoulder Presses<br />
Y Presses.</p>
<p>Tuesday:</p>
<p>Abs/light Cardio</p>
<p>Wednesday:</p>
<p>Back/Bis</p>
<p>Deadlifts 4x 8-10 (increasing weight each set)</p>
<p>Chin ups and pull ups</p>
<p>Bicep Curls ( lots of variations 8 -10 rep)</p>
<p>I sometimes throw in a few Rows but so far the heavy deadlifts leave my back pretty shaky so i don't want to over do it.</p>
<p>Thursday: Abs/Cardio or rest</p>
<p>Friday:</p>
<p>Legs/back</p>
<p>Squat 4x 8-10(increasing weight per set)<br />
Leg Raises<br />
Pull Ups  Chin Ups<br />
Calf Work (various exercises)</p>
<p>Saturday:</p>
<p>Rest or Cardio</p>
<p>Sunday:</p>
<p>Rest</p>
<p>I throw in some different muscle groups here and there if i feel up to it. Like some Chest Flys on Fridays or Bench.</p>
<p>I have Increased my Protein and Calorie Intake to match my Goal of gaining some weight.</p>
<p>My diet changes a lot and isn't 100% steady but it seems to work ok.</p>
<p>I gained a few lbs these past 2 weeks putting me at 206lbs. All of my Free weight exercises have increased dramatically. But i have a harder time with body weight exercises (lost 1 rep on my pull ups)</p>
<p>My current plan is to Gain weight for a few weeks and then Start a <a href="http://www.cpaclicks.com/secure.asp?e=bvkkslfdsvgs&#038;d=0&#038;l=0&#038;o=&#038;p=0&#038;subID1=">P90X</a> 90 day modified routine to loose the fat for next spring.</p>
