New Workout by Travis

It's been awhile, but I haven't been away from the gym (at least, not in the last month and a half). I got back in the gym just before Thanksgiving with a newfound determination. I had found myself wasting away and friends were starting to comment that I'd lost some mass. Deciding then and there that I was going to try to really commit myself to gaining mass, I started a new and simple program.

As far as eating was concerned, my goal was simply to eat a lot more, but eat cleanly. I've never tried to really eat for mass gains, so it was a little overwhelming at first to be eating enough food to gain weight.

As for a workout, I went super simple: a two day split consisting of the following exercises:

Day 1
Squats
Dead lifts

Day 2
Bench press
Pullups
Shoulder press
Bent-over rows

That's it.

So far, I've put on a little over 10 pounds in about 6 weeks. Using a scale to check fat percentages, I've gained 1-2% in fat, but that also means I put on 7-8 pounds of muscle. Eating as much as I am has left me feeling better with more energy than I used to have.

I'll try to make another update in a few weeks, complete with before and after measurements.
