Tommorrow is bi- and tri- day, as well as a little cardio.... Did notice some ab soreness today while working on abs, decided to take it a little easier on the workout of the abs due to this. Also noticed at end of workout couldn't quite give my ending cardio as much of a push (hence only 2.92 miles yet taking 4 minutes longer), may be since I am starting my cutting cycle don't have quite as much juice as before.... -------------- :Hard work equals great results!: |

Day 7, Week 1 of 8 week challenge- Today was bi- and tri- day. Started with cardio, did 15 minutes on stationary bike for 5.4 miles. Overhead Tricep Extension- 10x10 8x20 6x30 6x30 Declined Bench Tricep Extension- 10x25 8x45 6x55 6x75 Standing Dumbell Curls- 10x30 8x50 6x70 4x80 Barbell Preacher Curls- 10x25 8x55 6x75 3x80 Finished it off with more cardio- 20 minutes on a stationary bike for a total of 7.2 miles. Post workout weigh-in: 199.4 lbs. I am now hitting about .5-1 lb lost per day, while still at 3600 calories. Tommorrow I drop down to 3300 calories, curious what kind of loss I will start hitting then.... :) Have lost 3 lbs. total since beginning of week, not sure about any body fat loss will check it sometime during the next week. Also noted that today I couldn't quite hit the same reps on my bicep excercises, yet raised my tricep excercises SRM astronomically.... not a big drop on the bi-, not enough to draw too much of a concern, probably just due to my cutting cycle.... will be interesting to see what happens next week. Tommorrow is a rest day, but I may try and hit a good cardio day :big_smile: :dumbbell: -------------- :Hard work equals great results!: |

:)
I checked my body fat today, then double checked, and then again triple checked.... I got it at 14.23%. I think when it was taken a week and a half ago it might not have been taken correctly... because a 4.6% drop sounds kind of unrealistic, and I didn't really think I was at 18.8% before anyway, so I will just consider 14.23% my starting point for this challenge :) And yes, I have a super high metabolism, which is even higher now I think since I am dropping weight already at 3600 calories.... Don't want you to work to hard either, wouldnt want you to break a sweat :big_smile: -------------- :Hard work equals great results!: |

Tommorrow is a rest day, and I am definitely going to take it so I hopefully have the energy to hit my desired excercises thursday.... :) -------------- :Hard work equals great results!: |

Day 7, Week 2 of 8 week challenge- Started off with about 20 minutes of basketball drills for a cardio warmup.... Also decided to switch my order around today- started with biceps this time and then went to triceps, instead of vice versa. Barbell Preacher Curls- 10x25 8x65 6x75 6x85 (Felt much better this week, hit my last set, but struggled with rep 6 at 85..... but barely made it wooha!) Standing Dumbbell Curls- 10x30 8x50 6x60 5x70 (Felt much better this week also on this excercise, but just missed my last set of 6, only got 5 and just barely that) Overhead Barbell Extensions- 10x25 8x35 6x45 8x55 (Hit this set well, my triceps are definitely pushing harder, also noticed a lot more of a pump today on my biceps and triceps) Single Arm Overhead Extension- 10x10 8x20 6x30 6x30 (Just barely hit the last set) Finished it off with cardio.... 30 minutes on stationary bike for 10.8 miles. Post workout weigh-in: 197.2 lbs. Felt tremendous during the entire workout, and am getting very impressed with my results I am achieving. Tommorrow is rest day.... -------------- :Hard work equals great results!: |

Day 2, Week 3 of 8 week challenge- Started off with cardio- 45 minute bike ride from home to the gym on a bunch of hills :) Arnold Dumbbell Press- 10x20 8x40 6x60 6x80 Seated Dumbbell Press- 10x20 8x40 6x60 6x90 Standing Lateral Raises- 14x10 10x10 8x10 8x10 Barbell Wrist Curls- 10x40 10x40 10x40 Twisting Crunches- 4 sets of 15 Leg Tucks- 4 sets of 15 Incline Crunches- 4 sets of 15 Machine Crunches- 4 sets of 15 at 60 lbs Crunches- 4 sets of 15 at 15 lbs Finished it with more cardio- 15 minute bike ride to work :) Post workout weigh in: 199.2 lbs. Blasted Jelly Beans! Yesterday was a rest day, and I had a 3 lb tub of Jelly Belly Jelly Beans at work. I sub conciously ate just about the whole 3 lbs throughout the day on top of my regular meals! That may account for the 2 lb weight gain, gonna have to work even harder to drop the weight in the next couple weeks..... Hitting the 2100 calorie a day mark today, which will be my amount for the next 9 weeks of my cutting phase. I want to hopefully cut down to about 7-8% bf, maybe less from where I am at now. Don't know if I will hit it, but sure can hope to! No specific weight goal just bf% goal. Tommorrow is my second and last rest day of the week, gonna rest up and STICK to my diet so hopefully I hit some good numbers this week..... Hoping to push my squat past the 300 mark (which is 4 lbs away), bench past the 200 mark (14 lbs away) and Dead lift over the 275 mark (5 lbs away)..... wish me luck! -------------- :Hard work equals great results!: |

Day 5, Week 3 of 8 week challenge- Started off with Cardio- 45 minute bike ride to gym, 10 minutes of Basketball drills Bench Press- 10x45 8x135 3x155 2x155 (Just didn't have the energy to hit my reps very hard today on the bench, and I can't explain why.....) Flat Bench Dumbbell Fly- 10x20 8x40 6x60 6x60 Incline Press- 10x45 8x95 6x115 3x135 (Hit the last excercise of the day better than the first, now isn't that odd? Normally I struggle with the Incline, but did much better today....) Post Workout weigh in: 197.6 lbs. Looked in the mirror and am starting to notice a little more cut, but not much of a drop in weight lately, maybe still building some muscle that is replacing the fat loss? No idea, but I am not going to complain about it :) Tommorrow is Back, calf and ab day. -------------- :Hard work equals great results!: |
