FROM FLAB TO FIT BY SUMMER

BACKGROUND:
I'm a 21 y/o male in college. I've been lifting for about 3 years, the past 2 serious, and just this past year hardcore.
My childhood I was a rather fat kid, started to lean out a little through high school as I started to grow in height. I'm a completive athlete. Also I recently have gotten out of what was a serious relationship for a good 2 years, so you can say thats some good driving motivation to finally to put my goal of craving out my abs into hyper drive and really do this. So here we go!

GOALS:
Ultimately, 6 pack. Time to uncover those abs! I dont think this is too far of a long shot. I'm around 14-15% bf, and looking to get down near 8, but at least 10% will be a success. I want to keep as much strength and LBM as possible. Actual weight isnt too much an issue, just BF% is my main goal.

STATS:
Starting Height: 5' 8"
Starting Weight: 196
Starting BF%: ~15%
L Arm: 16"
R Arm:15.75"
L Leg:26"
R Leg:26"
Waist:32"
Hips:41.5"
Neck:16.5"


DIET:
I'm not following really any diet program, mainly because once i'm limited to something, my mind is obsessed with what I cant have. So mainly my goals through out this is clearly fat loss, while maintaining LBM. So while it depends what supps I run, mainly it will be a low fat, mod carb/carb cycle, high protien. Type deal. Ill generally pick a day or 2 out of the week where I will drop carbs pretty low, otherwise, They will be under 1g/ibs of BW.



TRAINING:
My training it mainly going to look like this
Day1: Chest, tris, traps
Day2: Legs, calves, abs
Day3: Back, Bi's, Traps
Day4: Shoulders, Calves, abs

Ill be adding some crossfit into that, and cardio is going to be on a daily basis. A mixture of team conditioning as well as personal cardio will be done. Endurance cardio, HIIT, the works, depends on how I feel, and what my schedule looks like.


SUPPS:
This will change throughout the log but mainly I will be running
  • Protein(protien factory Recovery for post workout, Alpha fat loss(protien only) for mid meal shakes, and PF breakfast blend for mornings)
  • Triple Omega (3-6-9)
  • Creatine
  • multi

DAY 1 (jan 25th 2010)

WEIGH IN:
7:00am(dehydrated) 187(-9)

NARRATIVE:
Yesterday (monday) was one hell of a day. Busy, long and very tiring. It was first day of practice. We had fitness testing at 7am, then conditioning at 5. Also, this morning we had weigh ins for fitness testing. So I decided to do a water cut sort to speak that was pretty mild because unlike most competitions I didnt have an extended period of time to rehydrate, but it did get the job done. I weighed in this morning at 187, almost 10ibs lighter from when i weighed in that morning. Not healthly or ideal, i understand but you gotta do what you gotta do to put up some serious numbers.
So cals were way way low, not much solid food or water. Training was pretty much an off day besides extra cardio to sweat out some more water.

TRAINING:
7:00am fitness testing:
60yrd dash: 7.5
T Test:9.1
Long Jump:7'9"

2:00pm conditioning
1 Mile run: 6:35

b. Moutain climbers
c. bear crawls
d. single foot hurdle hops.
a-d=1 curcuit x 5

6:00pm heavily clothed sweat cardio
35mins on stat. bike at mod. intensity, with several layers on, got a good sweat going.


DIET:
Cals:839
fat: 23
Carbs: 64
Protien: 77.5

I'm at a road block. I'm trying to figure out my supp run.
TO is an option but I'm considering saving that closer to my deadline, as a way to either get to my goal if i'm behind, or blast past it.
Right now I'm thinking bout running a GHenerate, I-gh-1, NO infuse, for a recovery/better sleep stack which I can def use right now, or PP's Fat loss stack with Derma therm, CLA, and greentea. I'm not sure if their CLA, or greentea is better than something i can pick up at walgreens or CVS, but i've heard some good things about Derma therm.

THoughts and ideas are alwasy welcomed on either 1 of these 2 stacks, or another stack.

Seem to be over my cold pretty solid still taking Vit C as needed throughout the day because I still have some nasal issues going on, and my roommate is now newly sick with different symptons than I had, so hope that I dont catch what he's got.

Stress has been off the hook these past few days along with my immure sub par, but I started this week strong, and I feel to re modivate to get back to killin it in the gym, I'd do a start of WEEK 3(WEEK 2 on USP) review

Day 15 Feb 8th 2010

Weigh In:
194(-2)

Quote Of The Day:
“It’s not whether you get knocked down. It’s whether you get up again.” Vince Lombardi

Narrative:
Woke up 6am, felt tried and slightly dragging through my morning conditioning. I need to make it more productive time, I am up and down in the gym anyway I need to start making it a planned attacked. Got some cardio in, then went on with my day. Pretty busy day, so my workout was later on after practice, starting a new routine I thought I'd give a try and see how it works out, Ill mention more in the training section.
Sleep:~4.5 hours
Energy:dragging till took a stim ****tail before practice, crashed hard towards the end of practice, and through rest of the night, till workout

DIET:
Cals:2336
fat:83
carbs:245
pro:153

Need to get carbs under control. Note that 67 carbs were taken pre w/o with Pslin. Looking for ways to increase protien, but rather hard with the recent selections at the cafe.


TRAINING:
I'm going to attempt a new workout plan on chest and back days. The claim is doing this w/o plan for 6 w/os will add an inch to your chest. So we'll see how it goes, all workouts are supplemented with some extra moves.

Bent over BB Row 205x6

Superset Bx3
Incline Bench 175x6
Lat pulldown 175x6

Superset Cx3

Single arm cable row 70x6

Incline DB fly 45x6 45x6 45x6
Overhead DB tri ext 65x10 65x10 65x10


I did run out of time, so I planned on getting more tris in, but Ill have to supplement them in some time later on in the week.
Numbers are a bit low, no spot and first day back in a while so I was a bit reserved. Its open season from here on in.

SUPS:
Upon waking: 2 RC
Post AM condition before breakfast: 1 ap,500mg Vit c, 1 omega
pre lunch:1ap, 1 omega
Pre practice: 500mg caffine, advil
Post practice(empty stomach):1 RC, 500mg vit C
pre-pre w/o: Pslin w/ meal, 1ap, 1 omega
pre w/o: Sample of MST Ragnarok(fruit punch)
Intra: none
Post: protien shake

MID DAY UPDATE:
today is the first day of using OEP, and I'm going to just note on how I feel right now. Today's mid day fatigue got the best of me, so Needed to get a good 30min nap in. But i've just realized I haven't eaten since 12:00pm, and its now close to 5pm, with out any hunger. I almost forgot to eat! Not saying thats good, but this stuff DEF is doing something. I'm hoping it continues to help shred away the fat

Subbed! loving the pictures btw! I found 3oep and 4 recreate to be magical for me. really loved that stuff. hope you do too. I don't really think you are 15%, but I'm not any type of nutritionist or anything special.

I noticed you drop quite a bit of caffeine before your practices. with oep, and if you take a pre w/o supp too... thats lot of caffeine, please be carefull... and don't take offense, when I drop 6-700mg man.... I feel like dirt. don't hate me just pointing it out!

great log, keep it up!

Ive been meaning to re take BF via calipers but I'm not very good at it, Ill have try and recheck using some other measurements.
As far as the comments on caffeine go no offensive taken! I fully understand the amount of stim I take is Ridiculous and probably unhealthy, but the demands from practice and my life right now give me no choice. My tolerance for stim in terrible, at my worst i could take 800mg of caffeine and fall asleep. Took a break for a solid month but its just repeating, i'm hoping when things calm down a bit to check out some Reset-AD (PAL)

most likely. I'm going to wait till after my USP stack. I'm thinking bout running it with a possible topical fat burner like PPs Dermatherm or ARs napalm, not set in stone, need to do more research but Reset-AD is a priority. I've heard some good things about it.

during my 2 year long 46 pound cut it was all about ups and downs, but the trick is to keep the downs as minimal as possible and in the long term you will see good results.

just consistently grind out of the downs as quickly as possible and you will do great. sometimes it takes a 2 day rest and not thinking about the gym to refresh and recharge you to go all out the rest of the week.

WEEK 5 Update (Feb 22 2010)

WEEK 5 UPDATE

Today was the start of week 5. Time has sure been flying and the progress I feel has been pretty good. Ill let the numbers do the talking

Height: 5' 8" (+0)
Weight:186 (-10)
L Arm: 15.25 (-.75)
R Arm:15.75 (+0)
L Leg:25" (-1)
R Leg:25" (-1)
Waist:31.5" (-.5)
Hips:41.5" (+0)
Neck:16" (-.5)
Chest (+0)

Body fat gets a little tricky
I used this http://www.fitwatch.com/qkcalc/body-fat-percentage-calculator.php website with measurements and got 11.3%
I used this site http://www.acefitness.org/calculators/bodyfat-calculator.aspx using skinfold measurements and got %10.9
So i fay its fair to guesstimate 11% is a solid conlusion which is down 3% from 5 weeks ago.

And some updated pics, some are a little fuzzy, its pretty hard to take self shots

Day 28(feb 22 2010)

Weigh In:
186(-10)

Quote Of The Day:
“I’m proof that great things can happen to ordinary people if they work hard and never give up.” Orel Herhiser

Narrative:
Today was a busy day. Woke up weighed in, really wanted to make this week a good one. I noticed I weighed in at 186! 185 was always a magic weight goal to obtain, and I really can't believe I'm only a pound away from that, its definitely a good small time goal to accomplish. This pushed up motivation a ton! Went through the day, Practice was a long one, hard on the legs. Go through it, fatigued hit again like clock work around 5:30ish, decided to catch some extra Zs from 6ish to 6:30ish. Got to the gym around 8pm, didnt get started till 8:30ish due to the unusual crowdedness. Felt a little rushed, and wish I had more time for a better bi workout
Which brings me to the next few notes
1. Training is a little different. First I've been adding in pre-exhaust sets in, as in chest day 7 sets of cable cross before I get started with the bench, Decided to change things up, really make my self work hard. this pre-exhaust is going to be used as best as i can for every body part
2. I did a total overhual of my logging techniques, Simplified things 10 fold so that it is not a total project to log everyday. So expect more consistent and frequent updates.
ALSO
3. I was picked to log Muscle Marinade by Purus. Its their new Pre W/O formula. I'm going to discontinue Pslin use, and or use MM on days I do not use Pslin. I'm most likely going to start a new thread in the supp review section for this, so keep an eye out.
Sleep:~6hours
Energy:Not bad, felt awake most of the morning, started to drag by the 3rd and final class. Body a bit sore, slightly drained
Appetite: Under par, carb craving
Immune: Been having a core throat, with some nasal congestion. My roommate was sick, i hope I didn't catch what he had. I've been dosing Vit. c throughout the day might grab a pack of E-mergency and see how it goes. Getting to a doctor is a huge problem for me, I do have some left over Antibiotics from a previous aliment that are still good, considering how bad it gets I might use that.
Stress: Some bad points in the day, but getting everything under control, need more consistency in my life.

Diet:
Cals: 2487
Fat: 73(26%)
Carbs:275(43)
Protein: 204(32%

Notes: Def. gotta bring those carbs down.

Training:
8:30pm Weight Training
Pre exauhst: Cable cross (40x15) (40x15) (40x15) (40x15) (40x15) (50x15) (50x15)

Incline Bench (135x12) (155x10) (155x8) (155x5)

Yeah shes a def. a bombshell from the neck down. :biglaugh:
Yeah Seems like the vit C has def been helping, the worse seems to be over thankfully. It was def taking a toll on my body, thats how i usually know I'm getting sick, if post w/o soreness hangs around longer than normal. But def seems to be getting better.

I'm super excitied about my progress, did not think this I was going to make this much progress this fast, but I def have to thank USP for an awesome stack. I'd 110% recommend it. But I'm sure at my age, its a ton easier to cut the weight.
