Blazin: 43 Down 19 to Go

Well ok…

BW: 235.2 – Guess I just needed a good thrashing to get my body to respond…

Water weight? Probably… did I hit my “235” goal… definitely.

Next stop “225” by Sept 12.

Side note:

“235” = 241-243 which post v-diet should leave me around 225-227 going with a 16lb loss… that may be a bit high… but I’ll shoot for the stars

7/8/08 CF

50 Pullups @ BW-70
50 Pushups
50 Situps
50 Squats

15:01.72

So sue me I can’t do BW Pullups

Jump Rope
~15 Mins

BW: “235.2”

Well… this is news…

BW: “235.2” two days in a row? That’s pretty remarkable for me… I usually shift weight at least 1/2 a lb here or there…

Today’s plan is a CF total…

3 attempts at the following lifts:

Back Squat
Shoulder Press
Deadlift

Wow, couldn’t be a better time… I have no real idea what my 1RM is for any of these lifts… but I shall guesstimate

BS : 275
SP : 135
DL : 315

We’ll see what happens

I was pretty close

7/9/08 CF total

Squat: 250
Shoulder Press: 130
Deadlift: 315

Total: 695

Totally could’ve done 135 for shoulder press but wasn’t sure so 130 was my last attempt

Could’ve done at least 265 for squats… as I when I attempted the stupid shoulder pad thing slipped and I almost dropped the weight at the bottom of my squat both times… causing me to lose rhythm and balance and fail my lifts.

Jumping Rope
20 mins – holy ****… I got double JUMPS I did about 10 Double Jumps, obv not in a row, but I finally got the movement down somewhat… the majority were single unders then 1 double under and a fail but at one point I got 4 or 5 double unders in a row alternated with single unders…

I do these poorly though… high jumping rather than a slightly higher hop… but hey… I’m in the business of doing work… so doing them “wrong” just means I’m doing more work…

BW: “235.2” again

07/10/08 CF Scaled

Run 5K

31:53 – 4:42 faster than last time…

BW: “238”

4 Days til V-diet

7/11/08 CF

5 Rounds for Time
5 Deadlift 275lbs
10 Burpees with overhead clap

12:39.78 – Is this decent? probably not…

Jumping Rope

Went for double unders to try and get my form and see if I could do them well… not really but I can definitely do them now did a total of 50… with lots of singles and leg alternations and what not in between… can’t do double unders back to back… but I’ll get there

BW: “237.4”

This is the break in phase of this diet and I’ll be hopping on this September 1st.

We’ll see what happens… supposed to be 4 weeks before a 500-1000 cal decrease into a ‘cut’ stage… I love plans that let me eat like a caveman… I am… a caveman

So the other day I baselined my Bench…

195 so I need to add 30lbs in 4 months.

I think thats doable… especially when I’ve been training in such a low carb caloric deficit…

I’m still losing, I weighed in at 226 yesterday… I’ll do a final official weigh in on Friday morning 2 days before my cruise, for which my goal was 235. I want to see how blasted that number is… I’m thinking I’ll be 10 lbs past it, but who knows…

What’s up!!! Bumped this thread up I see.
You’ll be happy to know I gained 5lbs on vacation, I was 223 this morning, suck!! :frowning:

I think you can hit that bench weight in 4 months no problem.

Have fun on your cruise, stay clean of the midnight buffet :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve had a shit training week… I guess its only Wednesday… but I missed monday, so I made up for it yesterday hardcore, I’ll go again tonight but damn I’m so fucking tired today…

Oh I know why.

I missed my HRE yesterday afternoon and this AM…

You never really notice hwo much that stuff picks you up until you miss a dose.

Fuck me running… I’ll pop as soon as I get home and then beat the shit outta myself today…

I know I said I wouldn’t Scale surf til friday… but…

224.8 This AM… Sept 12th goal… check.

AWE SHIT!!! 1lb separating us now, I’m in trouble!

Alright well… I’m back from my cruise…

I hit the gym up 1 time during cruise…but my days were full of miles of walking, swimming, snorkeling, and just general activity that I normally would not get at my job… talk about NEPA

The day after I got back I had to move my gf into her apt… my back had been a bit sore from the awkwardly size/shape of plane seats and my attempt to sleep during flight…

End result… today was my first day back.

I weighed in pre-gym another first since cruise…

BW: 225.4 – Wow talk about the right way to lose weight… I didn’t even gain a full pound… and I wasn’t exactly watching what I was eating…

Today:

Jump rope drill

1000 Single Unders, 10 Pushups every time you stop or trip up.

Random workout today… but I’m just trying to stay active as I prepare for my newest plan…

The 10/10 Transformation by Waterbury…

My bday is this friday, and I wanted to be 225 by then, that is in check… now I could keep cutting forever and probably look very lean and “cut” or I could change what I’m working with and have a much more defined physique.

If you don’t know the plan is to lose 10 lbs of fat and gain 10 lbs of muscle, so I’ll be about 225 at the end… but I should have quite noticeable body comp changes…

It is a 3 month program, and it seems quite easy…

Start: 9/15
End: 12/15

I think it’ll be necessary to start a new thread to keep my independant efforts organized, again I will reference to that thread here to keep my overall fitness success rolled up for any to follow.

Stay tuned

It’s my birthday, today’s goal: 225

Resulting weigh in: 223.4

:slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Maybe I’ll drop a bit more weight in my first week of transformation as I’ve been carb loaded :slight_smile:
