Other stuff

"Go without a coat when it’s cold; find out what cold is. Go hungry; keep your existence lean. Wear away the fat, get down to the lean tissue and see what it’s all about. The only time you define your character is when you go without. In times of hardship, you find out what you’re made of and what you’re capable of. If you’re never tested, you’ll never define your character."

-Attributed to Henry Rollins

I’m back with a Vengeance! New workout routine

Saturday, October 20th, 2007

This log is going to be a 10 week log. In the next 10 weeks I am still going to be focusing on fat loss (as I did not reach my goal of sub 10% bodyfat) but with the addition of trying to build some of the muscle I lost on my last log.

I had to cut the last "cut" shorter than I expected as I was a little burnt out, I got sick, and I had other things to attend to. I now am caught up with everything that I need to be caught up with and my schedule is a little more forgiving.

In this phase, I am going to be keeping the diet the same. I think this is one of the biggest downfalls I had in the last log was too much experimentation with my diet.

The kCal intake will be around 2400 on off days, and 2530 on workout days. I feel like the lower calories I did before was too much of a drop and this way I won’t be so tempted to cheat on my diet (especially with all the holidays coming up). I may start to decrease the total calories if I start to stagnate with my weight, but we’ll see what happens.

Training is going to be done Monday through Friday and each session should only take about 30 minutes as I will only be hitting each bodypart directly once a week. This is the split:

Mon: Upper and Lower Chest, Calves
Tue: Lats, Midback, Abs
Wed: Shoulder, Traps, Forearm
Thu: Quads, Hamstring, Calves
Fri: Bicep, Tricep, Abs
Sat: Swimming
Sun: REST

The only thing that will really change (other than supplements) during this phase will be cardio times. It will go something like this:

Week 1&2: Walk with my dog, Vida for about 20 minutes
Week 3&4:  10 minutes on elliptical + walk with Vida (30 minutes total)
Week 5&6:  20 minutes on elliptical + walk with Vida (40 minutes total)
Week 7&8:  30 minutes on elliptical + walk with Vida (50 minutes total)
Week 9&10: 40 minutes on elliptical + walk with Vida (60 minutes total)

Here we go baby!!!

(this started this week, so I am just getting up to speed and will post all of the weeks workouts)
