Week 5 of heavy duty to failure……..
So week 5 of heavy duty to failure is completed…I have learned alot from this program….
1. Following a program: I think that having a written program has been very beneficial for me. I think I saw better results,then just going and half-a$$ed lifting weights 3-4 times per week…you pretty much get half-a$$ed results. With an actual written plan, it keeps you on track and allows you to identify your strengths and weaknesses. It is very motivating to see that your actually increasing your weights and getting stronger!
2. Diet, Diet, Diet! did I mention Diet! Probably the most important thing….eating clean and following portion sizes! I was not seeing the great results I wanted until I really changed things up with my diet….I always ate “clean”, but I did not always think about portion sizes…I am now eating 90% clean and following a stricter portion size….it seems to be working for me!
3. Utilize the workout tracker on this site…It is awesome! It really has proved to be one of my favortie toos! I get pretty motivated to watch my lifting stats improve…I am a person who really looks at objecitve measures to quantify their results, so the use of this tool has been very beneficial to my motivation. it can be tiresome sometimes to put all the info in it, but I think it more than pays you back with visual feedback!
4. Planning……very important to know what your goals are and devise a plan on how to get there..I am taking a business management course for my PP-DPT…and they have a saying in business….fail to plan and plan to fail!
two great websites I have found very helpful….rippedabs.net (free info on getting that 6 pack and dietary tips) and figureathlete.com….really great site geared towards women…
a shout out for a member on this site…momsinthongs…she won amatuer figure at the Arnold! if you have not seen her site, take a look at her awesome profile. I think that she has the ideal physique!
well, ready to roll out week 6…….

Keep It up girl, your doing great. My name is Eric, just joined this site. I totally agree with you about following a training program that is written down, and of course Diet is everything (thats my biggest problem). When I started traing I thought I was doing all the right things, but like you said going about 1/2 a$$ & not getting results. So motivated & go 4 your goal.
