    Rob & Steve Smoke a joint

    Righty-O, here we go.

    Start date: 2nd January (that’s yesterday)

    Duration: 8 weeks

    Target: 14-15lbs weight loss, of which, 10lbs fat loss. 4-5lb margin of error (muscle/water/food)

    Training split: 6 day rotation, as follows:

    Day Bodypart(s)

    1 Thighs
    2 Delts, Triceps
    3
    4 Back, Biceps
    5 Chest
    6

    On seventh day, split begins at day one.

    Cardio: Sprinting for 10-15 minutes, 3 times weekly. Sounds excessive, but should be ok.

    Day Duration (mins)
    1
    2 10-15 (AM)
    3
    4 10-15 (AM)
    5
    6 10-15 (Any)

    Therefore, only two days a week where I’ll do morning sprints (on eph/caf) and one day where I’ll probably do it in the PM. My squat poundage and leg workouts in general will probably suffer significantly, but it’s only short term. Also, hopefully I can add an inch to my calves.

    Diet:

    Gonna do something I don’t usually do when dieting and that’s leave carbs out of my last meal of the day. This is purely because I want more carbs earlier on in the day before my workout if I’m going to be doing morning sprints frequently. However, yesterday’s diet was a bit slap-dash as I’d not fully worked everything out, and since today is a bank holiday and my gym shuts earlier, I knew I’d be lifting earlier so had carbs in my last meal. Other than that change, it’s a pretty standard iso diet with 8 fish oil caps a day. Probably not enough fat but I’ll just see how I go before changing shit round so soon.

    Supplements:

    Have some 1AD/MO4HN to add to the fray eventually.

    After a couple of weeks once I’m well into “diet mode” I’ll add in nicotine and eph for appetite and stimulation.

    I have one bottle of sesathin so I’ll use that in the latter stages of the diet.

    Maybe some Lipo-Ultra and/or Ab-Solved if I see it fit.

    Game on.

    Ok, today i trained delts and triceps.

    Been having trouble with my left delt for a few months now, so gave it a bit of an extended rest over the holidays. Went light today and seemed ok. Not gonna push it for a good long while yet though.

    Triceps went well.

    Summary:

    Delts: 8 sets total.
    Triceps: 6 sets total.

    And then threw in about 4 sets of abs for the hell of it.

    Are you starting an AL journal too?

    I wish I could only do 3 cardio sessions a week again. I've fucked myself because even after the marathon I'll have to continue with more cardio than typically necessary

    Stats on Wed. morning, when the diet begins. Here is a plan of attack:

    And if I hadn't said it yet, my diet begins on Wednesday, pics Tuesday night, and stats as of Wednesday morning.

    The 8 weeks will be four weeks of an Intensity Phase, followed by four weeks of a Volume Phase. I have been using the intensity phase for the past 3 weeks, though it has been low intensity, and not progressive. The progression starts now.

    Here is my split:

    Monday: Back and Traps
    Tuesday: Chest and Calf
    Wednesday: Off
    Thursday: Delts, Cuff work, and Hams
    Friday: Quads
    Saturday: Upper Arms
    Sunday: Off

    Note: I do not train abs and forearms.

    My first four days of Diet (Wed. - Sat.) will be No Carb, Low, No, High. Then I will be taking measurements every Sunday morning.

    Then next three weeks, the remaining of the Intensity Phase, will have the following amount of High/Low/No carb days:

    Week 2: 2/1/4
    Week 3: 2/2/3
    Week 4: 3/2/2

    My last four weeks, the Volume Phase, will be as follows:

    Week 1: 1/3/3
    Week 2: 2/2/3
    Week 3: 3/1/3
    Week 4: 3/3/1

    Supplements:

    GXR -- 2 pills with every Carb Meal.
    H.E.A.T. Stack -- start with 3 x twice daily, then increase every 2 weeks.
    SesaThin and Fish Oil -- 2 of each, thrice daily.
    7-OH (Lean Xtreme) -- max. dosing throughout.
    Hoodia (and ECGC and Chocamine) -- probably won't start this until week two or perhaps week 3.

    I also have a mix of ICE, LeptiGen Rebirth and extra synephrine, that I will use intermittantly whenever hunger strikes.

    I will add PhenoGen the last two weeks, and the following 2-4 weeks post cut. Other supplements include whey (isolate and concentrate) , glucosamine, MSM, leucine, ICE (bcaas), arginine, and Vendatta (if I feel this is necessary pre-workout, on a high carb day).


    And here is my last arm workout:

    Barbell Curls

    105 x 19
    115 x 13
    135 x 10

    * This was excellent progress over last week, which means that (1) these workouts are productive at least in the short term and (2) eating like a fat bastard has its benefits.

    Skull Crushers

    95 x 22
    105 x 18
    115 x 10

    Heavy Hammer Curls

    85 x 7, 6

    V-bar Pressdown

    140 x 15, 12

    Preacher Curl

    70 x 13, 10

    1-Arm overhead DB Presses

    50 x 12
    55 x 6

    Standing Double Bi Overhead Cable (what the hell is this really called, anyway?)

    30 x 14
    35 x 12

    Rope Kickback

    25 x 17, 12

    Are outsiders allowed questions?
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

    Tuesday 4th:

    Got up. Did a short 3-4 minute jog for warm up. Did about 4-5 minutes worth of interval sprints, with the rest intervals getting progressively longer, thus indicating just how very unfit i actually am.

    I swear i heard my heart ask my lungs "What the fuck just happend?"

    Wasn't scheduled to do them this morning, but with yesterday's bank holiday fucking up my gym time, i figured i might as well start them today instead.

    I took some photos yesterday. I look much, much worse on film than i do in the mirror. To be fair, i've done what i've wanted for the past 8 months with not a diet in sight since June, so i can't really complain. especially since i've had such a good laugh getting to this stage.

    Nice chest (and calves) workout today. I did 9 sets, all very close to failure. I had nice energy, and a good pump, and the workout was mildly strenuous. All in all a good show. My problem has been getting out of bed. I can't do it, and so I have been getting to work late. Need to fix that -- hitting the snooze button for 90 minutes isn't working.

    Today is my last day of gluttony (I had pasta, chicken parm, and bread for dinner, which I washed down with an enormous peice of ice cream cake last night), and I will have a large sushi and saki dinner.

    Peace.

    Damn men, lol. My friend got a small small gut over the holidays, but in two weeks he already lost it. I swear, that boy doesn't even need to necessarily tweak his diet that much either. Just eat a little cleaner and less junk, and bam, he gets cut.

    I don't think you look that bad. You can still see all the muscle you have underneath that'll look awesome when you drop 5-10lbs of fat.

    The bi-weekly thing is for weight only. Stats and pics are fortnightly. Thereby making it easier to detect changes.

    Isn't bi-weekly the same as fortnightly? Or am I mixing it up with bi-monthly?
    If sense were common, everyone would have it.

    Bi-weekly means twice weekly.

    Bi-monthly means twice montly, which can be rounded to fortnightly.
