FITNYOU’s BodyBlog

It’s difficult to keep up with my blog on a daily basic especially in Iraq. However I’m keeping a log by writing down everything I do for the whole 6 weeks. One day or when I get back to the states I will upload it because I only wish I had all that information when I started. I will keep you update with pictures of my progress. This is the stage of my progress….. I guess after all, Nutrient partition works if you doing it right.

Sunday was a day off the weight room, but I went around 06:30 did 30 minutes Cardio on the treadmill, in 30 minutes I burnt 430 calories, my heart was around 110-123 which where I want it to be. A little bit about cardio training, I don’t run on the treadmill but the intensity allows me to burn more calories with a lower heart rate than running. 

I stay with manual setting: speed 3, incline 12, for 5 minutes and I change the speed for 3.5 and increase incline to 15. I do 3 minutes where I hold on to the bar to get my heart rate and 2 minutes where I don’t hold on to nothing until I get to 30 minutes. If you hard core go for it, but for starter I recommend speed 2 to 2.5 and incline 12 to 13. Until next time  “FitnYou” 

Today is September 9th, in 20 days I will hit the stage for a competition. Usually for competition I will diet for 8 to 10 weeks and go head to head with the best of them. This time it’s different, it’s more like a challenge, and I also want to test my new found nutrient partition. I recently read an article about it in Prosource.net, but I been practicing that for almost three years. I will talk about it on another blog, today I just want to get this started.
Today’s workout wasn’t regular at all; I did 30 minutes on the treadmill, and burn 430 calories with a heart of 110-123 and finish my workout with back and bicep.
I’m a big fan of 15 reps and superset, I started my workout with Pull ups 4 set of 15 reps. Lat Pull down 3 set for 15 reps and change the grip to a tight reverse grip 3 set for 15 reps, I finish my back workout with one arm dumbbell row 4 set for 15 reps (90 lbs) I picked two exercise for my triceps today it was triceps pull down and overhead extension with rope, I superset all the way. I started with 100, 110, 120 for 15 reps each that count for one set ( my partner change the weight) I did three set of those and on the last set instead of starting with 100 I started with 120, 110, 100 for 15 reps each and I can feel blood and the tightness of the triceps. The other exercise was overhead triceps extension, lighter weight 70, 80, 90 for 15 reps for 3 sets. In my book it was quick and down and dirty workout but it was a great workout because of the intensity. If you going to use 15 reps in your workout routine make sure the weight is the weight is heavy enough when you hit 12 reps, you have to push harder to get the last 3.
eating wasn’t as good as yesterday, for breakfast I had glutamine, BCAA, a protein shake, a piece of stake,  meal two 6 ounces of chicken and one pack of old fashioned oatmeal. Meal three chicken salads with a tablespoon of salad dressing (fat free) meal 4 protein shake and oatmeal meal 5 chicken salad with an apple and before bed I had a GNC 24 hour’s protein shake. (I usually drink at least a gallon of water every day but today I barely drink 3 quarts) I will make that doesn’t happened tomorrow.  My goal here is to keep track everything until the day of the competition. Today I didn’t practice nutrient partition today and that one of the reason why I didn’t drink enough water, when you training for a competition, you going to have days like that. I can’t afford to make any mistake like that with the amount of time I have left. Until next time Fitnyou.
