  If I didn't have a pulled quadriceps muscle in my right leg, here's my weight lifting routine:

  Monday:

  Squats
  Incline Bench
  Barbell Rows
  Close grip bench
  Pull ups until I can't do anymore

  Weds:

  Light Squats
  Deadlifts
  Military Press
  Calf Raises
  Shrugs
  Pull ups until I can't do anymore

  Fri:
  Squats
  Incline Bench
  Barbell Rows
  Close grip bench
  Pull ups until I can't do anymore

  It's essentially the "Starting Strength" routine, slightly modified. A full body routine that can really kick your ass and focuses on big compound exercises. I could probably ditch the calf raises and shrugs, but I leave them in. It's pretty amazing how strong I've got since I started.

  As far as nutrition, I try and avoid anything processed with loads of ingredients. I eat a lot of quinoa, black beans, avocados, peanut butter (natural), almond butter, eggs, and fish. Occasionally red meat; rarely chicken. I hate the taste of chicken more and more.

  Never soda or anything sugary to drink. Water, black coffee, and beer or wine on the weekends. I need to do cardio, but it's so fucking boring in the Winter. Plan on getting a cheap bike to ride this Summer. There's a 40 mile trail real close to me I can ride on.
