G’Day All,

I writing a new training program today, I’m doing every body part once a week with calves being done twice.  Doing 4 sets of 8 to 10 reps this is for when I start my bulking phase at the end of February.  Hoping to lift alot each session and give the body a week to recover.

Any thoughts anyone.

Thanks Paul

I felt tired this morning so I didn’t train, I decided to train after work.  I should have pushed throu this morning. Its the end of a very long week at work, I was to train shoulders and traps.  Took my No-Explode, got throu Barbell Press and started dumbell press and only got one set of I was spent. I don’t know how people train after a days work. I’m ready for bed.

Good news is today on the scales my body fat measured in at 17.6%, only 7.6% to go to my goal.

Couldn’t help myself today its 41c in Adelaide, I had to buy my first  beers for the year 

G’Day all,

This is going to be a bit long winded but I need to get it off my chest.

Everyone in my family admire fit athletic sports people.  I can remember a couple of years ago my Uncle told me that my cousin was at Mark Ricciuto’s (he was the Captain of the Adelaide Crow’s AFL Team, Brownlow Medalist, All Australian Player and Premiership Captain in 98) brothers house having a swim.  Mark walked in after a pre season training seassion for a swim.  My cousin said Roo was so cut he had a six pack on his back.  Every one in the family was in admiration for how fit he was, only because the way he looked because a game hadn’t been played yet for the season.

Now what is annoying me is I have my goals to get to 10% BF (remembering I was once 106 kilo and close to 30%BF) most of my family and friends keep telling me I shouldn’t be trying to loose any more weight.

What people don’t realise is that I’m eating more but when you exercise and eat clean, if the weight come’s off it obviously has to.  Back in November 2006 I was in one of my best mate’s Wedding.  On the day I was weighing in at 82.5 kg with BF of 26.78% thats 21.78kg of fat.  Today I’m weighing in at 86.9 kg with BF of 19 % thats 16.51 kg of fat.  So I’m heavier obviously due to muscle gains and having a lower BF% but everyone is still telling me not to loose and more weight.

Sorry for ranting it gets frustrating at times and just had to vent.

Stay strong from Down Under.

Well I’ve got 8 weeks left till I’m at the end of my cutting phase.  Still aiming to reach 10% body fat, just need to eat really, really clean. 

Going to start doing double cardio each day as of tomorrow.  1 hour first thing in the morning a nice long walk then 45 minutes after my last meal of the day.

Its 7 days into the new year and in Adelaide we’ve had some hot weather upto 40c again this week and I’ve been strong enough to not reach for a beer.  Thats a good sign

wish me luck and bring on 10% bf
