Wait, what about your actual routine? You're just going to track measurements of yourself? If sexy is the goal you don't even need to track that stuff, just keep getting sexier until you've reached the appropriate threshold.

Son, I am disappoint.

Like what you're actually doing and how it's progresses. Or is the plan to do the exact same things at the exact same intensity over and over?

It's your log though, so I mean, track whatever makes you happiest,

He means "what you're doing" as in list the exercises, sets, reps and weights. For example:

Dumbell bench presses - 20 lb DBs x 10 reps x 3 sets (or DB bench 20 x 10 x 3 for short)

DB rows - 20 x 10 x 3

stuff like that....

Ok I finished P90x and I think it toned me some and gave me good cardio endurance. I got stronger but didn't pack on the muscle or anything like that. I am now going to start SS on Saturday. I am joining a gym with a good assortment of free weights and a squat rack. I also ordered SS 3rd edition and it should be here Friday.

I am looking forward to it. I think P90x gave me a lot of athletic confidence and I am in better over all shape right now than I have ever been in my life. I guess that isn't saying much since I haven't been in very good shape ever.

Just listen to Cha, really focus on learning form and stay patient - you'll have tremendous results,

.

Btw, I'm not sure I can join you guys this Saturday but I'm sure I will at some point either way.

Work hard, always try to improve your form (read SS, watch & post form check vids, etc.) and you'll see great results. A couple big things you have going for you are that you seem to be in very good cardiovascular shape now, and you also dont have much hindering you as far as muscle adhesions or joint problems.

Both ways of posting is fine as long as it's sets/reps/weight or weight/rep/sets. Although I prefer the way you just did it.

Look at my older log posts (page 2 I'd guess). Something similar to (making this up):
45x5x3
70x3
90x2
120x5x3

Yugo is way more detailed about warming up than I am, but one thing I will say is you want to do a lot more very light sets benching before moving up weight than anything else. Dave Tate recommends doing at least 30 bench press reps with something less than your 1 RM before doing anything over that.

On all your lifts, when you get closer to your work set weight, drop the reps down to 2 or 3 so you dont expend too much energy prior to your work sets.
