Long Journey Ahead

Long Journey Ahead ~Workout Updated~

Hey guys. I finally got my camera (phone) to work. So I am deciding to take some start-off shots. This after 3 weeks of lifting and what not. Some results are starting to show.

Status (As of 02/29/08):

Age: 18
Height: 5'10
Weight: ?? (Still waiting to find out)
BF%: 2x (You tell me. lol.)

Goal(s):

My basic goal is to reduce my bf% to the single digits. I'd like to gain some mass too. But that isn't a big factor since I can't really do anything about that while cutting. Since, I'm currently at 20 something BF%. I am aiming to be at 12% or less by June 1st.

Training:

Workout A

Bench Press (5 x 12 @ 15 lbs.)
Arnold Press (3 x 12 @ 15 lbs.)
Triceps Extension (3 x 10 @ 15 lbs.)
Shrugs(3 x 12 @ 15 lbs.)
Flys (4 x 6 @ 15 lbs.)

Workout B

Bent-over Row (3 x 10@ 15 lbs.)
Twisting Curls (3 x 12 @ 15 lbs.)
Concentration Curls (3 x 10 @ 15 lbs.)
Wrist Curls (5 x 12 @ 15 lbs.)

Workout C

Squat (5 x 12 @ 15 lbs.)
Deadlift (3 x 10 @ 15 lbs.)
Lunge (3 x 10 @ 15 lbs.)
Calf Raises (4 x 30 @ 15 lbs.) - Superset -
Shin Pulses (4 x 30 @ 15 lbs.) - Superset -

Workout D

Cardio (1 HIT, 1 HIIT, 1 Tabata Sprint)

Workout E

Twisting Crunch (2 x 20 – Warm Up)
Weighted Crunch (3 x 20)
Side Bend (3 x Failure)

Yeah, I'm using ridiculously small weights. It's the situation I'm in. Can't really do anything about it. I also think I need to fix my ab regimen.

Diet:

Yeah. I'm not doing anything specific for my diet. Just eating as healthy as possible. Having 6 meals a day. Whey post-workout. Gotta max that protein. On 1000 calorie deficit. That's about it.

Pictures:




Yup, a lot of marks I'm not proud of.

dont worry man, I was your size, maybe bigger, and after a good year and a bit of solid dedication I changed my whole life. And with a life change, so does the body. I can assist you in your journey, as well as all the other great people here.

It will not be easy, and it might not always be fun, but somebody has to do it.
 
Kudos for posting your before pics, it takes guts. I won't pretend that I have any professional advice for you, but I will be here if you need support:) Read around the forum though, there is PLENTY of professional advice to be found. This place is a wealth of information if you use it correctly.
 
Why are you lifting such small weights? You should deadlift more than you curl.

If you train hard and lift heavy, and take care of your diet, the rest will come.

-edit-
Just read that it's the "situation" you're in. This is a terrible situation to be in. Get yourself in a better one, I don't care how you do it. There's plenty of heavy **** you can get anywhere for cheap or free. You probably have stuff lying around your house you can use. Be creative. Make your own equipment. Do something, anything, other than accept your severly subpar situation. If you really want it, you'll be able to find a way.

Hey, man. I was bigger than this once and now my god-like muscular physique is the stuff of legend. One thing, don't focus too much on the ab regimen. Seriously, right now it's not where your time is best spent. Find some heavier weights and work some compound lifts into workout B and you'll be fine.
