Hello and welcome to the next 3 months of my life! I have been graciously selected to receive 3 months of training and coaching in both diet/nutrition and workouts/training from the guys over at Team Juggernaut (Team Info/. I will be following the plans given me to the letter, commenting along the way (as well as showcasing) progress, setbacks, positives, negatives, and all facets of the process and program.
As most of you know, I have been around these forums for years now and have done plenty of my own programming and diet design. I've been through a great many ups and downs in terms of weight, body composition, strength, and pretty much any other aspect of this game. I have a pretty good base of understanding of both what works for me as well as what does not... That said, I've reached a point where I feel that my view of myself is maybe too critical and biased to really take the next step forward. Over the last year or so, while I have made progress on strength and aesthetics, it has been very slow and tedious. My caloric intake is painfully low (maintaining at 1800cals as of today) and even though my body comp is pretty good (holding 10-12%bf for most of the last 2+years), I think there's room for improvement.
So what will this look like?
Nutrition; I wont post up specifics as these are proprietary and I don't want to just hand out the TJ secrets, but I will post up calories and macros for most weeks. I will comment on specific daily things of note where applicable. One thing I will surely include is comments on how I feel related to the food and schedule.
Today, I typically practice IF and usually eat 1-2 meals in the evenings only that include my entire daily caloric allotment. Su-F are typically 1800 cals with mostly protein, lower fat, lower carb. Sat is usually a cheat day where cals can almost double and carbs are way higher. I have been eating this way for about the past year and a half and this has worked best for my travel job as well as my appetite (huge) to keep me lean and full (aka happy haha).
Training; I will post up the workouts at a high level, but no details. Commentary on the rep ranges and any other items as necessary to convey my feelings.
Today, I have been doing a 5-day HFT plan for the last 5 weeks to give myself a break from the custom PHAT plans I have been running for the last 2+ years or so. I typically workout 5-6 days a week and do cardio really only when I feel necessary (would never if I had my way ha).
Please feel free to follow along, post any questions/comments/critiques and hopefully you guys will get to see what Team Juggernaut has to offer!
