I know this much Cardio will burn fat as well as Muscel but right now I want to burn everything slim down the bulk up in a few months.

First off I just want to congradulate everyone who has made the US Olympic teams already and wish the best of luck to all who are still waiting for their Olympic Trials, and of course best of luck to all the men and women reprasenting U.S.A. at the Olympics this August.

Secondly I have always been a big Fan of Gymnastics (Well now that I am older, my mom tryed to get me to take Gymnastics as a kid, but I was to busy ridding dirt bikes, or in my case picking my bike upp off the ground, but that is another child hood story for another time.) But sence about 1995 I started to really get into Gymnastics. So long story short this weekend the men and women of the U.S. Gymnastics world, had their Olympic trials this week end, and I noticed every time one of the young ladies came off what ever event they just finished perfourming, that they of course were breathing heavely, but each time they breathed their abs showed through their uniforms. this made me feel like a fat ass, but talk about motivating, ther men and women are in amazing shape.

I think I will stop by the local gymnastics center on my way home from work today and see what their work out regamen is.

  Hope everyine has a great day.

So yeah I havn’t been posting on here latly, truth be told, I really got burnt out of goibn to the gym. I made the mistake my Personal Trainner warned me about, you can’t ct body fat and build musel bulk at the same tim, you have to either bulk up first then cut, or slim down first then build musel mass.

Well the airhead I am tryed to do both at the sae time and after five months of going to the gym five days a week, for two hours of solid lifting at a time, with very little weight drop or the loss of but a couple of inches I got frustrated and gave up.. or took a break more or less.

durning this time I really looked a where I was and where I wantedto go I had gained musel all my mesurments were growing each time, and my weaight that I was lifting was growing as wel but with out eating right, and very little to no cardio each time  went to the gym I wasn’t lossing any body fat, but bulking up under all that fat and just getting bigger…

All of this burned me out, my friends were saying they never see me, I am always at the gym, and when I looked at myself in the miror or stepped on the scale, there were no results to show for it. So I took a month off (Well going once a week for 1 hour) and really read alot of magazines and work out books and really revamped my work out to fit me.

Most important I made that choice everyone one of us has to make, bulk then cut? or cut then bulk. I decided cut then bulk, so I am back at the gym four days a week for a little over two hours at a time. (10 min. cardio warm up, 5 min. stretching of the body parts that are going to be lifting, an hour of liffting all super sets, and most importantly an hour of cardio 20mins. stare master level 6, fallowed by 20 mins. tredmill fast walking at a 4.0, and top it off with 20 mins. on the bike level 3. the results my shirt is soaked in sweat by the time I am done, and my body going into shock already shows instant results.

now I know it takes time, my total weight loss plan is 4o lbs ( from 210 down to 170) then based on my results maybe lose another 5-10 lbs. and get from a 35% to under 10%. my weekly goals are to lose 1.5 pounds a week resulting a 6 pound loss a month, so it should take me around 8 months to reach my goal.

I want to thank all of you who keep tabs on mee and keep me motivated, that is the only thing that keeps me going, and please if you drop a line, keep tabs on my soda war cause that is this Superman’s Kryptonite, and feel free to leave comments and bug the hell out of me, let’s face it I need all of you. no one dose this alone.

So I was watching T.V. today and saw a trailer for the new movie Never Back Down (It looks like a movie that hollywoodsises UFC in an underword type of arena.) it looks cheezy, but I tend to like heezy movies, and I love fighting and UFC, so I will go see it and most likley enjoy it. but long story short I have never really wanted to be huge bulky, nor just a thin skin and bone guy, but i finally found the build I like and some motivational pictures to shoot for.
