What's your routine?

There hasn't been one of these for a while. So I thought I'd chuck this up, see how people are going, what they have changed - if they have changed anything in their routine - and what results have been achieved.

Feel free to add in your diet and supplements too.

I've just come off a hectic period of work and uni so I was only doing 3 mini-sessions a week for the last 3-4 months.

Tomorrow I start my full taining again and looking forward to it. Still spending the rest of today putting the final touches to it, right supplements, a couple of alternatively exercises to mix it up etc.

Will post it when completed.
