Alright, after a long time of half-assing my way through working out and dieting, I’m going to get serious and get in shape for this summer. I have 21 weeks until a summer vacation on June 10th, a trip to a resort in Arizona, and I plan on being in peak condition by this time. Basically, I hope to use this forum to help motivate me and provide a record of my progress.
My Diet:
Anabolic Diet combined with the Velocity Lite Diet. So, three solid meals a day, fat and protein with very little carbs, less than 30g a day. Combined with Metabolic Drive shakes in the morning and at night.
For supplemens I will be using the following: Metabolic Drive, HOT-ROX, Flameout, a multivitamin, creatine, and flax seeds in my shakes.
Also, I should mention that I’m giving up all alcohol for the extent of my diet, which for me should result in many less calories per week.
My workouts:
2x a week lifting (I find I improve most on low volume, I get very sore from lifting), once upper body and once lower body.
4x a week cardio in the gym for 30 minutes.
2x a week brazilian jiu-jitsu class, it lasts 60 minutes. I’m going to try and up this to 4x a week and cut back on cardio but the commute to the gym is a bear.
After One Week, My Measurements (Didn’t get my scale or measuring tape in time for day one):
Weight: 183.2
Resting HR: 71
Neck: 15.5
Gut: 36
Upper Gut: 34
Chest: 38
R. Arm: 13
R. Leg: 24.5
R. Calf: 15
According to Bodyweight tracker:
BF%: 20.35
LBM: 147.35
Body Fat: 37.65
Of course, any advice, encouragement or comments would be helpful and appreciated.
