Baby Got Back!

MJH · Jun 26, 2006

Yes I started another journal but jumped all over the place on my diet so this time I'm starting a Baby Got Back journal to stay. Obviously my training is going to be based on the Baby Got Back program that was written by WBB member Built. Basically the split is as follows:

1- Horizontal Push/Pull
2- Quad Dominant Legs
3- Vertical Push/Pull
4- Hamstring Dominant Legs

And its a lot of 5x5, and then some accessory work. Awesome split, tons of fun, and I throw in biceps on quad day and triceps on hamstring day. My diet is going to be logged on FitDay.com and its going to a basic isocaloric diet with some small cheats here and there.

Any questions/comments/suggestions please feel free to post.

DeadBolt: Thanks buddy, and I agree that I'm getting somewhat closer to my goal but I want to drop another 7-9 lbs. or so especially around my midsection. Right now I'm taking Lipoderm-ULTRA preworkout so that seems to be have a nice effect, also.

MJH · Jun 30, 2006

DeadBolt: I feel the same way man, I'm trying to diet down to just under 200 lbs. and seeing how I feel at that point. I'd really like to hover around 195-197 lbs. I took another progress picture tonight, lol. None of these are really progress pictures by the way they're pictures for my girlfriend when I'm at work, but they give an idea of my progress.

Looks good, but from what I have understood from HIIT cardio, it's more like

1 minute: 5 MPH
30 sec: 9 MPH
1 minute: 5 MPH
30 sec: MPH
etc
etc

:hmmm:
