After four years in my last journal - it's time to start a new one. My new workout style will incorporate combos, circuits, some heavy weight once in a while, jump roping, weighted vest exercises, interval training, core training and much more. Hopefully no workout will be the same and I'll progress in lifting faster, lifting more weight and have fun doing it. My goals are to stay fit and lean out.

Weighted in at 190 (down 4 lbs from last week)

Here's a link to my old journal for a reference.

Interesting!

Where did you get this idea, and what will your diet be during this period?
 
Interesting!

Where did you get this idea, and what will your diet be during this period?

I just want to try something new. I combined a bunch of different exercises that I like and some new ones.

My diet will be "cleaner". Normally its:

Protein Shake and oatmeal with PB for breakfast plus coffee
Yogurt and banana or apple for a snack
Salad with nuts and soup for lunch
Zone bar for snack plus coffee
(WORKOUT) then a protein shake with OJ, banana and fro-yogurt
Dinner is a veggie, whole wheat noodle and chicken/fish/or Steak
Protein Shake before bed

Weekends it's ok - usually Pizza on Friday nights but good foods for the rest of the weekend - a few beers on Saturday in the summer time.

I think my "extra cardio" days will help. Speaking of that - it's time to go get some exercise instead writing about it.

:thumb:
 
I should have clarified - I meant are you eating at maintenance, bulking or cutting - and what macros you'll be running.

Let us know how this works for you.

I will me "maintaining" - or just above. I average about 3000 cals a day.

It's good to see someone new in my journals. What's your program like ?
 
I'm cutting, so my workouts are short and heavy at the moment. Following the basic guidelines in this post on my blog, but I only do 3x5 and 3x8 for most movements, plus sprint intervals, bicycle sprints, hill repeats and complexes (one of each) spread out throughout the week - the cardio stuff is explained in here.

Great workout....I was sweating like crazy again. I love using the weighted vest.
 
My diet isnt very good most of the time, but I have noticed a pretty good difference in the past 4 months. Getting stronger while leaning out is nice.
 
hey yellowmoomba:hiya:

I've never been in your journal before but I saw the name and it caught my attention. I really like the workouts you're doing in here, sounds like tough stuff but also my kind of stuff. once I am able to start going to the gym again, I might have to steal some of your idea;)..if that's alright with you? lol

well, I'm out in the field doing exploration (I work for a mining company as a geology student for the summer) at least 4 days a week, so that means I am not close to civilization and/or a gym. although I get one hell of a workout trekking through the woods all day carrying a pack full of rocks! lol

Great new journal YM!

Your goal is to stay fit and LEAN OUT? I've never seen a picture of you, but I dont' see how with all the workouts you do regularly you would need to lean out. LOL

What a nice surprise :thumb: How's the family? Where ya been?

My weight fluctuates about 8 -10 pounds depending on the season. I've usually trained for sports but since I'm not playing much basketball or football I figured I could start training to stay healthy and look good :grin: I love my new workouts - using the weighted vest is awesome. I'm about 188 now. I'd like to drop one more inch on my waist. Other than that - I'm content.
