Thread: Slo Truck Transformation Challenge

Use Calorieking.com to try and figure how many calories your eating and will go from there. If you run out of whey can you get more?

Not a the moment I am 150miles off the coast of Angola West Africa, and I am almost out. I will be back in the good Ol USA on the 29th so I will be able to cook for myself and eat what ever i need to achieve my goal.

Still at it guys and gals. The heat kicked my ass today. It was at least 100° on deck today making the workout that much harder and we are in 10' seas. Today was my last day for this work out set up. I was able to knock out the 4x12 overhand pullups and all the rest of my routine. I will be taking 3 days off then back at it at the gym back home. 6hr boat ride to Point Noire Congo, 9hr flight to Paris, 2hr flight to Amsterdam, 9,hr flight to Memphis, and 2hr flight Home cant wait.

Thats alot of flight time, it will be nice to get under some weights though. SHould give your muscles a nice shock

Finally made it to the house tonight. I bombed on the Diet last 24hrs. No biggie. I will be back at it tomorrow. Hopefully I will have the energy to hit the gym in the morning. But if not Sunday it is.

Man completely bombed on the diet last 2 days. Monday gonna turn things back around time to Do Work

dont worry consider it a carb up day , your body wil love you come Monday

Thanks man, Ya I see some PB's coming tomorrow.

Stuff is going really good at the gym. I need to hit the cardio harder for sure. I am only getting in like 30min a day should be putting in at least 15min more.

Well I hit the gym Saturday for abs and Cardio. Went great. Diet didn't stand up to the temptations of the weekend. Tried to eat the whole house it seems like. But I feel guilty and will have a good week this next week for sure.

Still hitting it hard 5 days a week some times 6. I have until June 6th to kill it at the gym then I am heading back to Africa for 5 weeks. I feel that I have come a long ways but have a long road ahead of me. I plan on cutting as much weight as i can offshore. Still doing this without any (good) supplements other than protein and prework out

Well I just arrived in Lagos, Nigeria. I am going to hit the gym here at the hotel for the next 6 days then see what the gym on the boat has to offer. I am going to get back on the diet tomorrow. Its hard to diet knowing that you are going to be gone for 5wks. So the last 4 days I was home was a bust. LOL

Well I have been offshore with my new job and damn the luck. I am working at least 18hrs a day. Getting about 4-5hrs of sleep. I have only been able to really work out 5 times in the last 10 days. I have to admit that the diet hasn't been what it should but not going crazy either. Gonna try to kick it back in shape and get in the gym a little more but my body is saying just go to sleep. LOL

Hang in there!

Well my hitch offshore is winding down. I will be home on the 13th and back to the usual hitting the gym every day and mush easier to diet.

Great journal!

Didn't get around to everyone to even see what was going on in their workouts, but you have a journal and a half. That is one brutal work schedule to lift around (from beginning to the most recent post). I'd want to hit the rack instead of the gym, too.

Looking forward to reading more updates when you can. The challenge might be over but the workouts should never end!

Glad you're posting to IronMagazine, slo truck.
