~Iron filings~Heavyiron training

IslandGirl and I both work together with making adjustments to get our clients to where they'd like to be.

HI is a great client in that he follows the plan and trains very intensely !!


Indeed. I was working with a guy who got me down to 9% BF, after that no matter what we tried.....FAIL.

Good luck HI!!!
 
Wow very impressing journal, Keep pushing im sure you will see more, and greater results! You already have some good stats weightlifting wise, great job bro!
 
That makes all the difference in the world. You're dropping weight pretty quick, nice work.

I know you don't want to get into specifics of your actual diet but are you taking in any form of dextrose PWO? What is the total amount of carbs you're taking in daily (approx)?

Good luck Bro, I did an extreme cut last fall and never really understood how tough it can be mentally, physically it's easy but the mental grind can really get to you after a while. You have my respect for going this route, having your abs pop out after dropping 25-30lbs is a major accomplishment, if it were easy everyone would be shredded. Good luck.
I use gatorade post training with a few other sups like creatine.

No idea on my carbs. I just eat what I am told. I have a higher carb day and a lower carb day depending on my training schedule. I have done plans before that were tough but this time I am just doing what I am told and not worrying about it. So far it hasn't been that hard but we will see in a few weeks if I feel the same =)

Carb load day!

2-26-2011

233.5lbs this AM

Today will be a carb load day! I just finished 5 pancakes with maple syrup and 5 egg whites with coffee. I get extra carbs all day long.

Progress pics

I started at 250lbs on 1-18, I am now 16.5lbs lighter. I am stronger than when I started the challenge 5 weeks ago. Mostly because I had little time to train much in 2010. Now that I am training more regularly my previous strength is returning fast.

235.5 lbs after last nights carb load. I feel warm today. This is likely a sign my metabolism kicked up due to the carb load.

Chest and shoulders

I decided to warm up on BB incline presses and then went and did very heavy Incline presses on an old hammer strength style machine. My rotator cuff felt very good today after the rotator prehab excercises.

233.6 lbs after last nights cheat meal

Chest and shoulders

I decided to do flat bench today. I severely injured my right rotator cuff again on 10-5-09 and have been trying to work around the injury for over a year. In 2010 I took about 6 months off of training and it really made it feel a lot better. I lost a lot of strength during that time but now it's coming back fast. I wanted to see if it was really healed today so I did the excercises that I could not do in the past.
