Hi Everyone!
Its been a few months since i been on here and i just wanted to give everyone a big HELLO! I hope the holidays were good to everyone, and despite the desire to lose, you guys indulged and enjoyed yourselves during this wonderful time with friends and family. That said:
ITS GAME TIME GUYS!!!!
My journey has went a little different. 2010 for me was a fun time. I was sick of eating at a deficit, so i didn't. in fact i got weird and felt i was too small for my liking so i decided to go heavy and try to put on 20 lbs of mass to chisel in the new year, along with massive strength gains.
Well it worked. i got up 18 lbs. to 248 and i was doing 305 for 4 reps on incline bench and 335 for 4 reps on decline bench. i was squatting 405 for 5 reps and doing step ups holding 75lbs in each hand. despite the gain i didn't have to buy any new clothes or pants which means i did a pretty good job with muscle to fat ratio gained.
well from thanksgiving to x-mas i put on 10 more lbs lol and with no tennis to counter act all the wonderful food i wasn't too surprised. So this year i figure i'll go back to 2009, and i'll begin to post the same way. may it be an inspiration to all who need it, and motivation to all that needs to be re-energized! since its Friday, I'll do a summary catch up.
the plan for now is weights 3 days a week and cardio 6 days* a week. (* this means there may be more than one cardio session per day, which i will go into).
monday- 1 hour of full body strength training-circuit style followed by 30 min of intense elliptical action.
monday night- soccer for one hour (i'm in a league)
tuesday-1 hour of intense cardio-15 min ab workout
wednesday-1 hour of full body strength training-circuit style followed by 30 min of intense elliptical action.
thursday-1 hour of intense cardio
friday-1 hour of full body strength training-circuit style followed by 30 min of intense elliptical action.
friday night-2 hour wallyball session.
saturday- rest
sunday- 1 hour cardio circuit w/ abs class at the gym
(my GF wants me to do this with her).
this is my plan and i've followed it exactly up per day. my diet consists of lean, high protein meats, and low carbohydrates, with the ones i do intake being complex. i also try to intake a gallon of water a day and at least 150g-200g of protein.
Please look forward to regular updates and if you guys have any questions about anything let me know, i'll be more than happy to answer any of them in detail.
