god damn it, jesus, this is getting really hard guys, sometimes i feel overwhelmed, some times i feel like if i were on drugs (good), sometimes i feel like quiting, don’t get me wrong, i won’t quit, i’ll get to the goal line, but the road it’s getting heavy… any way, here’s the circuit i did yesterday. ( i took out power cleans, high pull and presses because my left shoulder hurted a little, so i let it rest

guyssss, i’m a happy mofo, i can’t believe it, today at the end of my boxing session (wich was great) a friend was trying to do pull ups, but he couldn’t, so i told him to grip the bar with different grip (chin up) so i showed him and tried, and WTF i actually did one chin up, you know my first CHIN UP (chin to the bar level) , i know some of you can do your BW+300 lbs for 10 reps, but this is my first CHIN UP, wtf, that made me really happy, so i tried them again lately on my bench session.

Congrats on the chins! It’s always nice to see improvement. Felt the same way the first time I did weighted pullups.

Have you taken any recent pictures to compare with the before pics?

Thanks a lot man, chins were a really good achievment, you know, I’m lifting my heavy ass from the floor with just my arms.

And nop, I will take before pictures when I get down to 100kg, until now I’ve only lost 7kg but everyone has toldme that I look better

47

guys, this week was really hard, but i’m really fatigated, so i decided to have a cheat DAY today, i’ve ate many tacos (not too many), had one little soda and little more.

damnnn, now i feel so much better, but guilt is killingme, but i know i did right, i had been adviced to refeed or cheat or whatever you callit. specially when i’ve been dieting 6 weeks, but i’m happy with my progreess, damn 7 kilos off me, my performance on boxing has sky rocketed, now i can do chin ups, i think i got my 400 pull, etc.

Had a little session

Farmer’s walk 3x40 stepsx37kgDB’s
Bear hug carry 3x100 stepsx26kg plate
Suit case carry 3x30 stepsx37kg DB
Bear hug carry 3x100stepsx26kg plate

all exercises were superseted, (one exercise, then other) for a total of 3 sets, 2 mins rest between sets.

This was my first training like this, so i’ll improveit for the next session, at the end of my transformation i don’t want you to just say -good work-, i want you to say, HOLY SHIIIIIITT, you fucking did it man.

when i reach my weight goal i’m going serious on boxing, for now i want to get as lean and strong as posible, but i’m taking boxing really serious.

48

damn, another bitter-sweet day, i weighted my self today, and mmm i was a little disapointed, i weighted 112.2kg
or 246.8lbs, that’s a total of 7.8kg lost until now, pretty good ha?, and i measured my waist line and it measured 125cm, that’s 9cm lost, pretty good, but i’m aiming for a lot more.

Boxing was great, i’m trainig hard, gibving it all, following each advice i get from other boxers, trying to improve in every aspect.

my today weight session

5/3/1 cycle 2, deload week (thank god for the deload, i needed it)

Deadlift
1x5x62kg
1x5x82kg

working sets
3x5x102kg

BB row
1x6x62kg
3x8x77kh

these felt unusually heavy, and my joints didn’t feel at their prime, so that was all i did.

I’m keeping cals low this week, i replaced on solid meal with another shake, so the menu is.

Meal one: 3 fired eggs, 3 tortillas
meal two: Protein shake (2 spoonful of chocolate powder+1 of powder milk)
meal three: 150gr of chicken breast
meal four:Protein shake (2 spoonful of chocolate powder+1 of powder milk)
meal five:Protein shake (2 spoonful of chocolate powder+1 of powder milk)

i really want to take it easy this week, 'cause the next cycle of the 5/3/1 will be the most important i’ve had, i’ll try to rep 170kg, i’m aiming for 5 reps (at the third week), so wish me luck.

any tips. comments?

49

just for the record, today i headed to my boxing class as any other day, i didn’t expect anything out of what i always do, so i did my roadwork and shadowboxing, then 1 round of padwork, wich i did well, so my trainer told me that i waas going to spar, i asked- are you kiddin’?,

he said no, so he talked to a heavy dude wich knows how to box pretty well, and i was there, i started inmediatly with 3 jabs, then one straight, then he punched me, really hard, so i got close and started to throw some hooks, the dude punched really hard, but he obviously knew more than i do, so i we did only 2 rounds.

at the end the dude toldme- nice work, you punched me hard-, that made me really happy

thanks sluicy, yeah definitly the chin ups have been one of my biggest achievements, when i started this log i really didn’t know what to expect, but lots of good things have come with effort, i’m learning how to box, i think i got my 400 pull or even a little more, the chin ups, etc. this rocks.

thanks for stopping by

53

wow, it was a shitty week guys, god!!!, almost 7 weeks on the track, and i’ve lost weight, but i’m still looking like a pregnant guy!!!wtf?, i hate having a HUGE waist, it seriously pisses me off when i look at my self on the mirror,

thoughts like “give up”, “you look the same”, “your wasting your time”, they come to my mind each time i look at the mirror, jesus!!!, well i guess it’s what i deserv, i didn’t get to 264lbs in 2 weeks, and i can’t expect to lose all the fat in 2 weeks.

Just ignore this post, it sounds like a girl complaining, but i’ll feel awesome when i look at this log in 5 months, and i’ll say - thank god i didn’t quit.

hi there guys, today i had a weird feeling, i even felt gay, let me explain it, as every monday, i woke up early and went to the bathroom, then ufff, it was time to weight my self, damn, on sunday i had a cheat DAY, 'cause i was feeling really tired, so i thought that i hadn’t lose any weight, but surprise!!!, scale numbers were clear, 110.8kg, those are almost 10kg lost!!!, i felt like crying, (of hapiness), yeah, i wanted to cry, i was proud of my self guys, i remembered all those times when i dreamed about losing weight.

because i know there are plenty of fatties that are happy with their selfs, but not me, i feel uncomfortable, disgusting, pissed off, and i’m changing!!!, on my own!!!, you know that feels great, i know there a a lot of dedicated guys on this web, but i was a lazy one, i never put effort on things, i always used to quit, i even tried to convince my self that i was happy being fat, but hell NO!!.

Today i went to school, and some of my friends told me very surprised that i looked a lot leaner, that made me reallllly happy. ufffff 15 more kf to go.
