Starting Weight: 167.4lbs (16% bf)
Target Weight:
180lbs (at 10% bf)

I've lifted on and off through the years but never seriously or consistently. I have things pretty well down from a nutrition standpoint as that has been a passion of mine for many years. I am hoping that this log will help me get over the motivational hump that seems to come up after 2-3 months of lifting. Here goes starting from scratch :)

Embarrassing Pictures for motivation:




Starting Split:

Day 1: Back & Biceps Day
Day 2: Chest & Triceps
Day 3: Deltoids and Legs

2x rounds per week
Rest on Sunday.
An extra rest day when absolutely needed.

Today's training:

Week 6 Update (2 days early..)

I believe I have hit my preliminary recompostion goal of 12% bf. I will now start a clean bulk back up to 14% (I'm hoping this last's about 3 months) Then I will begin my pre-summer cut down to 10%.

Yeah, it shows. You're looking strong, man. What's your diet like, because you're getting bigger and shredded

I've been doing Lyle Mcdonalds UD2 for 4 weeks and lost 3-4% bf while gaining 1 pound. 3 1/2 days of 50 carbs (fibrous only) Then before your day 4 workout you break the carb fast. Then you do a massive refeed of 700-1k carbs over the next 24-36 hours followed by 2 days of maintenance cals. Rinse and repeat. You get awesome fat burn on the low carb days, then you get some decent strength/hypertrophy on the refeed maintenance end of it. I'm taking a week right now to eat at maintenance and test my carb sensitivity before I decide for sure whether I'm gonna cut down to 8-10% bf or go for a 3-4month lean bulk.

I tried no pre-wo meal (1-2hours prior) and upping intra bcaa's. I felt shaky and weak the whole WO. Squats were a struggle and benching was a joke.. I don't like this at all... I had to quit early do to nausea.

It looks like you are doing very, very well. Do you get winded? Seriously, these work outs are intense.

I'm semi winded for most of the workout. I try to keep rest periods under a minute between supersets. on squats the rests tend to be closer to 1 1/2 minutes. It's definitely challenging lifting with this approach, but the results are well worth it in my opinion.

I prefer this as well. SS-ing chest and back should've had your HR kicking the whole time!

Nice work in here mike.

Where's the updates?
Thanks for asking. I injured my right leg playing basketball and took a week off. Then I had a 2 week vacation to Florida. I am leaving next week for Alaska to do a 5 month commercial fishing stint, so my goals for this year are all but shot. I am planning to hit it hard in the fall after fishing season. Thanks for the support. I'll be back :)
