Comments on my Borderline Overdoing it Workout Split?

[BigGreen]

While I'm very new to this board (and patiently waiting to get my 15 posts so that I can put up the avatar and have more people recognize me), those of you who do know me and my training philosophy are aware that I consider overtraining to be one of the most misunderstood concepts in the general fitness "area". My approach is rather like that of AnimalMass' Dual Factor Hypertrophy Training (DFHT) at least in principle: I am a zealous advocate of a dramatic overload (intentional overtraining to the edge of being chronic, and thus detrimental, overtraining) followed by a very deliberate deloading (undertraining) during which the body makes monumentous compensations while you let it. I'll be happy to discuss my approach further with anyone, but don't want this foreword to become overly burdensome.

Anyways, please take the time not only to read the workout split, but attempt to understand its nuances as well. It is a 6 times a week, two a day split, something I will be doing A) while "on" and B) while training is the only thing of real significance (timewise) in my life. I finished college last spring and am taking this year off before returning to law school. I work about 20 hours a week as a personal trainer and other than that have all the time in the world to eat right, rest often and train hard.

This is a 6 week "mini-cycle" of the training I'll be using. This is emblematic of the entire routine..three very itense weeks during which I tend to regress, followed by a three week "cruise" mode during which I tend to make up ground and then some (one step back, two steps forward).

*I just tried to write it out and it's a pain in the ass...I'm going to put it into excel and hope this board accepts .xls as an attachment.

It would appear that I can't upload a spreadsheet and am too borderline retarded to figure out another organized way to get this thing up.

Does anyone know how I can post a spreadsheet? It would appear that Andre has figured it out....

Thanks for the bump....I'd love to get it up here. If anyone wants it, I can email it providing cyber-rights lets me attach. Otherwise, I'll find a way to get it up here in prose form.

Andre posts .jpg screen shots of the spreadsheets, not the actual spreadsheets themselves.

That much i figured...i'm just wondering how the hell he gets them into jpg format in the first place.

That's easy:

To take a screenshot of anything on your computer, all you have to do is:

1) Get the screen looking the way you want
B) Press the "PrtScn" key on your keyboard
III) Open Windows Paint
d) Select "Paste" from the "Edit" menu
5) Select "Save As" from the "File" menu, and save it as a .jpg

Assuming you have a PC and are running MS Windows, pressing the "PrtScn" key dumps a .bmp image of your whole desktop into the Clipboard, which allows you to Paste it into any graphics program that will accept it.

From there, after I've saved the desktop image, I open it in another graphics program (I use Irfanview, a freeware package from www.irfanview.com) to crop it to the desired size and shape, and crop out any extraneous desktop elements.

Here's a sample:
