2008 Transformation Contest

I am ready to shock the muscles with a new routine in the gym.  I have been doing my current one for about 6 weeks now.  I have been at this long enough now to know I know I have to change things up to get continuous results.  So here is the new plan.

Monday and Thursday: Legs, back and calves
Leg extensions 12,10,10
Squats 12, 10, 10 drop set
leg press 10,10,8
leg curls 12,8,8 drop sets
DB rows 12,10,8
Seated cable rows 10,10 drop sets
back extensions 20,20
Pullups 3 sets to failure (that is like three attempts, LOL)
calf raises 15,15,15

Tuesday and Friday: Chest, shoulders, arms and abs
incline barbell press 15,10,8 forced reps
db press 10,10,10
Peck Dec Fly 15,15 partial reps
overhead press 15,10,8 drop sets
lateral raises 10,10 drop sets
reverse pec dec 10,10
bench dip 10,10,10
lying tricep extension 10,10
barbell curl 12,10,8
preacher curl 12,10 partials
knee raises 15,15,15
cable crunch 15,15,15

I will probably hit the flat bench now and then just to help maintain it. It has taken me a couple of years to get to 200+ on my bench and I don’t want to lose it.  LOL

I finally feel like I am getting control of the diet side of this lifestyle.  I think that has by far been my biggest obstacle.  I had to learn a lot by trail and error and read everything I could get my hands on as well as breaking bad habits.  I still need reassurance that I am doing things right and thankfully I have some great people to help me with that.  

I know I had successes before I even joined bb.com (64pound loss) but I had trouble pulling all aspects of this lifestyle together. (the mental game, diet, nutrition, etc.)   I could get one area right but not the others.  Between setting up my bodyspace and participating in this contest, the pieces are now falling into place.  What I didn’t know I am learning.   I am seeing more success and a great sense of satisfaction now and more importantly I am feeling it.
