Hey T-Nation-oids,
A friend turned me onto this site and I was glad he did. Anyway, this is my first post and I was wondering if anyone can see anything wrong with the routine I am about to start to get my fat ass in shape. I used to workout but now I am probably a good 40-45 pounds over weight and would probably make most people gag if I took my clothes off. I have an ideal frame so it’s time to make some serious changes and live life again.
I have been doing my research online and in mags this is what I come up with.
Beginner routine for a FAT ASS like me:
THE ROUTINE RULES
3 days a week
3 upper body exercises
3 lower body exercises
Pair them together & alternate exercises (lower followed by upper)
3 sets of 12-15 per exercise
1 min rest between sets
Routine Example:
Super Exercise 1 (Squat/Barbell Row)
Superset 1
Squat set of 12
Barbell Row set of 12
Rest 1 min
Superset 2
Squat set of 12
Barbell Row set of 12
Rest 1 min
Superset 3
Squat set of 12
Barbell Row set of 12
Rest 1 Min
Move onto Super Exercise 2
Supplements:
Upon waking
1 Serving of Xenadrine NRG (or HOT-ROX)
1 Serving of GuggleBolic (non-stimulant)
1 Serving of Alpha Male
1 Serving of Pregnenolone (50mg)
6-8 hours later
Another 1/2 serving of Xenadrine NRG
Another serving of GuggleBolic
1 Serving of ZMA on an empty stomach
Muscle Milk anytime increased protein intake is needed (use water for pre-mix or less carbs)
I got the diet down, I won’t bore you with those details.
I was also thinking about some interval cardio on days I don’t lift weights.
Any suggestions appreciated.
