Feelin' the HEAT!

Ok...new day, new journal.
I'm fat. Don't have measurements, but I can barely fit into my clothes. even my newer 'fat' clothes'.
REALLY not happy about it.
The scale tipped at about 224 the other afternoon. The pic in my avatar is me at 182lbs. (My target weight) The math says: 42lbs to strip off. I want it off by my December trip to Cozumel. That will be 42 pounds in 6 months.
7 pounds per month loss. Is this possible...it's not...IMPOSSIBLE...but will be hard for me. But, I can do it. I am consisstant in the gym again, and I am starting into boxing / kick boxing next week.
I'm going w/ my 'CYCLE II' program for the next 7 weeks:

Monday and Thursday:
Legs / Back / Bis

Wednesdays off

Tuesday and Friday:
Chest / Delt / Tris

day 1:
Squats, SLDL
Pull Ups, BB or DB Rows
BB Curls, Preacher Curls

day 2:
bench press, Flyes
Military press, upright rows
CGBP, Skull crushers

day 4:
Deads, front squats
pull downs, cable/machine rows
Alt. db curls, cable curls

day 5:
incline bench press, decline bench press
side lateras, front laterals, rear laterals
dips, tricep extensions


***gonna do 4 working sets for all exercises, except the laterals; 2-3 sets per


boxing shall be 3 or so days per week.
My biggest obsticle shall be food...gonna have to really work on reeling that back into healthy...
So, stay tuned for today's workout...tomorrow.
Oh...not too much whorring in this journal, please. Thanks!

Solid looking workout, man!

Are you doing just simple 3x10 with 1-3 min. RIs (or something like that)? Are you doing anything special.

I wanted to lose weight, the short RIs, heavy weight, and biking have really helped me to drop the weight. I've lost about 14 pounds (and 2 inches off the gut) in four months or so.

Best wishes on your goal my Friend, I have faith in ya!!! Can I suggest cutting down the volume though (not just cause I'm not into volume) but because of the punishment and abuse you will take w/ kickboxing 3 or more days a week, don't want to overtrain and hurt yoursel!!! Just my 2 cents my Friend, not trying to ignorant!!!

Hey Arch!
U think its too much volume? 2 exercises per BP? What would u suggest? Once I start the KB...I'll feel how my body is handling it and adjust accordingly..

Good luck buddy! I can't believe you have a new journal, that other one had so many hits, it was like a God among Gods, well ok, not really, but it was one impressive run in that journal, that's for sure!

And boy, if 2 exercises is too much volume, I dunno what to say man

A new journal from Burner! Kewl. 7 lbs a month may be a little much. Shoot for 1-1.5 lbs a week, like DD said 'slow and steady'.

You probably know about Fitday, but if not, sign up. It is a great free tool.

Hey man new scenery means no time to slack its KICK ASS TIME! Dont think of slackin off here b/c I'm kickin it into overdrive w/ ya! I got 13lbs to go. If I of all people can do it you can too!

I'm down to 183 from 224 mi amigo!! I want 170 and damnit I WILL HIT IT! Theres no id like to I'm going to and the only person that has a chance of standing in my way is myself and that just aint gonna fly!

So its go time mike! Just keep the diet in check and dont bite off to much just yet...take it slow. This is a marathon not a sprint. Shoot your load to soon and there is no reserve for the final length. Start your pace now and build up in the weeks to come!



It's a living thing, Brian. It breathes, it eats, and it hates. The only way to beat it is to think like it. To know that this flame will spread this way across the door and up across the ceiling, not because of the physics of flammable liquids, but because it wants to. Some guys on this job, the fire owns them, makes 'em fight it on it's level, but the only way to truly kill it is to love it a little.

hey!
ok..last week: doesn't count. Nope. Not at all.
this week: fresh start: Cylcle II.
Boxing at 7:30pm....'k Py...c-ya at the low end of 180!

nothing happened this weekend. Stayed in pretty much all day Saturday...miserable w/ my allergies...Sunday was at an open house...no prospects...
Have had a bugger of a time finding wrestling shoes for boxing. Evidently...only are sold seasonally? So next month they should be stocked. Am gonna try and use my Ottomix lifting shoes till I can get what I need.
