Today was the last day for cheating/bulking….
Today was the last day for cheating….
Well I have a trip coming up in May and I have till the 30th of April to get back down to 5-8% BF. I have already ordered my Optimum protein powder plus some LIPO 6 to start me off (I have used before during my last lean down and it world wonders) from BB.com and BF measuring tester as well to keep track of my results. I know I have put on a lot of lean muscle as well as fat during the off season. I went from 182 and 5% bf to 209 15% BF, but now I feel sloppy/fit and even though I have been hitting the gym hard for the last 5 months (heavy weight low rep) I know it was all to prepare for the next three months of light weight high rep and drop sets and super sets . Although one thing I am grateful for is I never stopped cardio despite what my fellow gym rats told me, because I love to run. I have been doing the following cycle in my cardio since the bulk:
Before workout =
10 minute no incline run as warm up (6.5 miles an hour)
40 pushups
10 minute level 4 random incline (6.5 miles an hour)
40 pushups
10 minute level 7 random incline (6.5 miles an hour)
40 pushups
10 stair climber
After workout =
Boxing
5 3-minute rounds plus jump rope and sit ups and leg lifts for one hour or every Thursday the after workout changes to a bicycling HIT class!
So instead of starting on a Monday I and going to start on the first (as to not throw me into a normal screw up by Tuesday thing) and update this blog every few days to keep myself accountable.
~Wish me luck!
