Slo Truck Transformation Challenge

Age 31

Height 5'10"

Weight 243lbs

Goal: To loose fat and gain some muscle definition where possible. Get in overall healthy shape.

I am starting this challenge to not because I think I have a great chance of winning but more to hold myself accountable to see the next 12wks through to it's full potential. This will be very hard for me since I am 150 mils off the coast of Angola, Africa in the Atlantic Ocean. For the 1st half of the challenge I will be using a body weight work out, resistance bands, and tred mill. 2nd half I will be home and be able to hit the gym. Well Here Goes. Good luck every one.

Good Luck!

Well I thought that I put a little about my routine. Comment and critiques are welcome. Please understand that I only have a stationary bike, tred mill, some small dumb bells, a worn out POS bow Flex, one resistance band and my own weight at my disposal to exercise. Usually train 6 days a week.

Morning: 30min Interval running or Bike
While offshore I work 12hrs a day 7days a week.

After work:
Push ups reg. 30x4
Dips on a ledge and chair 30x4
Crunches 45x4
Overhand Pull ups 4 sets usually 10,10,8,6
Under hand Pull ups 8x3
Lunges 25x8

I add curls and stiff arm lat raises with the Band or dumb bells every other day. I also walk consently between sets. Basicly other then the tred mill and bike all my workout is done out doors on the Bow of ship I work on here in Africa for the next 3 wks. Oh yeah its hot as hell here. 12° south of the Equator. LOL

Good luck, you on a rig?

Nope. If I was on rig it would be great cause all of them have gyms. No I am on a 280' boat that rocks non stop. This will be a challenge. While I am at work.

Checking in, good luck!

Had a great work out today. Its just so damn hot. Any advice on hand stand push ups for shoulders even if i can only do like 4 sets of 5. Would these be worth it?

Its really hard to eat well out here when you dont control what is for any meal. Any one have a general meal plan that I can TRY to model my daily eating around that will help me?

Good Luck there, I keep an eye on you!
Cheers mate

T-rex is on the boat with me. He is one that told me about this.

Good luck my friend :)

Thanks Gena, I am hitting it hard.

Well the routine is still going good. I am still trying to eat right. I dont think I am getting enough of the proper calories but there isn't a lot of option out here. Still staying away from sugar and bread. Since I really started my transformation before the contest I am seeing more definition in my arms and chest. Gut is still there, but i am on my last belt hole and its getting looser! That is a big plus to me. I have 2 more wks offshore then I will really turn the training up since I will be back at the gym.

Your doing good, kick T in the nuts for me.

Hell Ya well Good luck and kick some ass we will grab a beer when yall get back from the Mother Land "LOL" Peace

Ace I am down for some Beer for sure.

The weather was to rough to do my normal routine outside. I had to hit the Bowflex:loser2: I had that thing. I made the most of it. Hopefully the weather will lay back down and I can really pick up the pace my last week and half offshore.

Well still hitting it hard. I have made some progress with my routine. I am now able to do
4x10 on over and under hand pull ups during my routine. Its been hard to get up and hit the bike and then work 12hrs then work out on my strength/ weight loss routine too but I am doing it. I thought i would show yall some pics of my work facility LOL. Well here are the pics

Thats awsome. Is it pretty hot there?

Man it's crazy hot here.

Good luck. Some pretty cool stuff. You got good potential. What are u eating, fish. If so you will cut fast. Great omega 3 and this will facilitate breaking down fats. Any supplements?

Only thing I have out here is
GNC Wheybolic protein
Cellucor C4 Pre work out
Cellucor T7 weight loss

I was thinking about ordering some Clenn. I have done it before and know it works good. Guess we will see.

Well here we are a week into this challenge and it going really good for me. I am on my last belt notch and eating clean. Hit the bike this morning for 30min. Yesterdays workout was lacking some intensity. I think its the fact that I am ready to get off this boat and go home. I cant wait to hit the gym and get after some real weight and see some real results. Good luck to every one else.

Haven't posted in a few days. Still been at it. Took yesterday off as a rest day but back on the bike again this morning. I have 4 more workouts while out here offshore then back to the gym. I will start posting worked logs once back in there.

Hell ya. Got some New Personnel best.
Push ups 4x35
Crunches 4x45
Chair and ledge dips 4x45
Over hand pull ups 12 12 10 12 NEW PB
Under hand Pull ups 10 9 10 12 New PB
That is the order I do everything in. I do 4 sets of everything and no rest between exercises. Once i am done with a whole curcit I walk non stop for 1.5 songs on the Ipod then start over. What do yall thing? I am pretty sure it is working decently.

One more thing. I would really like it if someone would like to mentor me in this challenge. Any takers?

What food do you have access to and how often can you eat?

There is a decent supply of fruits and veggies. The proteins are not so healthy. Mostly butter covered and or fried. I eat alot of Bananas. I really only eat a 3-4 times a day. I could eat more but the cooks only serve at 4 times a day. 12am, 6am, 12pm and 6pm. I cant cook my own food cause i am still at work. I do take a protein
shake after i work out in the evenings.
