Hi all,
New poster on here though I have spent a few days going through the pages - amazing how many queries are the same but resolutions are different - something I appreciate on this forum as the replies are down to the individual person!
Ok thats me done blabbering on/praising you guys
Here is the stats/problem:
Problem:
Belly/stomach fat!
Used to be flat during the times of being in school/college but when uni started - well suprise suprise, the beers piled it on!
I just cant get rid of it. My arms are certainly becoming bigger but I need more mass on them, chest is certainly taking form and legs look good too but belly area, just won't go flat ! As a rough "image" if I breathe in, I can get it to go flat!
Gym:
I started going to the gym 2 yrs ago and while it was fairly strict, there was a lot of time off where the weight piled back on.
the first year and a half was only cardio
I now go 5 times a day (with the schedule below)
Diet:
OK my main problem!
I am a veggie, but also lactose intollerant!
Brekkie @ 8am:
Toast x2 + 1/2 poached eggs
Tub of porridge with nuts and those squishy current things (forgot the name !)
Bottle of orange Lucozade
Lunch:
Phd Synergy @ 11:50am (standard shaker amount and is with water not milk)
12:15 - usually a sandwich (salad or the likes)
Dinner:
Gym days it will be just another Phd Synergy shake (With water again) and on days off, some sort of rice/bean dish
Gym Routine:
All 5 days consist of:
30-35mins Treadmill (5mins warmup walk up a hill, 25mins walk, 5 mins cooldown)
30mins weights (mainly the machines + some dumbells)
50mins cycle (the one with the backrest)
Depending on time, I then add rowing (2000m) and/or cross-trainer (30mins) in too
What do I want?
I need to get my abs sorted out
And I need more mass on my arms because I can physically see and feel muscle but because my arms are fairly small, I almost feel if I had more mass, the shape would take form so to speak.
When?
I want to get this sorted by May roughly if possible - given my gym routine/time, I am sure I can do it.
Problems?
My legs are a problem in cardio. I can run around 2-3k and the front of my legs near the ankle area (but front) really starts to hurt
I am convinced its down to how I run and land - got specialised running shoes based on my foot shape but still does it to the point I sometimes have to stop and walk the rest
Hope this is not too long - I noticed a lot of repeat questions people asked so I thought I would stick everything in one post :- )
Appreciate any help you guys can give - I have free trainer sessions I need to take up before 31/3 so I will use him too
Thanks in advance
AJ
