From Kevin:
"I graduated high school about 2 years ago in 2006 and I clocked in at around 145ish. Ive gone off to school/college and was actually able to get in the gym and put on some muscle (and a lil fat too, but it comes with the territory). I now weigh about 165ish and I just have this aching problem.
I got to about 170 lbs which was my best weight, i was benching about 190lbs 5-6 times. Long story short I got caught up with finals and papers for the last 2 months and didnt make it to the gym as often as I was trying to keep my GPA above 3.0 (No company seems to want you if you have below a 3.0).
Anywho, I love going to the gym but I just cant help but feel that Im a total novice. In college I hung around an ex-football player who gave me alot of great advice and we went to the gym often and I think I learned alot from what him and a few others showed me.
My primary goal for this summer is to overcome this feeling of 'novice' and really try to get hardcore about it. Ive been using the combination of this website and Youtube to watch excersies Im unfamiliar with. ive read countless threads and done tons of searches but I still feel in the dark.
My problem isnt motivation, but rather, I get discouraged by the lack of finding new exercises and uncertain on how to plan my workout days (tues and thurs). I feel im just recycling the same old exercises over and over again which zaps the fun and just kills the mood.
This summer Im trying to set a realistic goal for myself, but oddly enough Im trying to train not so much for looks but for strength.
My workout days are Tues and Thurs and I would be the happiest person if i could be sore ALL over my body on my resting days.
I am having trouble working on 'below the kneecaps' specifically calves and the front part of my knee. I cant for the life of me find a plan that would shred the hell out of my lower body, do you know of any routines?
The rest of the upper body needs some work, Im trying to get rid of my chicken legs and do a bit of bulking for all over.
Sorry forgot to add, my diet is good, I can resist the bad stuff and eat the good stuff.
As for working out, I dont need cardio as I get it from work and I only have Tues and Thurs to workout (So 2 days)
Im 6 foot and weigh about 165 now
And thats about it"
