Hey there everyone.
Ok I’m going to presume that the majority of people on here have been in a situation where they haven’t been happy with their body. Maybe you haven’t been happy with your fitness levels. Hey maybe it’s your diet.
Well here I am in just that very situation. I’m a Fitness/Gym instructor. If you’ve used a gym before you probably already know that my day to day work is to give advice and to help people train to achieve their goals. What you might not know is that when you work in a gym clients, customers and staff judge your ability to give advice and train people simply on how you look. ‘Thats superficial’ I hear you cry.
Well yes it is, but I have to agree. Lets face facts here, you join a gym and get given Lucio Pavarotti as an instructor, are you really going to believe he can get you down to 8% BF and increase your muscle mass by 25 lbs. My guess is no! You go to the same gym and your instructor is, Christian Thibaudeau. I can already hear you thanking God for the blessing of such a gifted trainer. Now you understand my point and maybe why I’m doing this post.
Ok I’m not a big fat bastard and I’m certainly not ripped and honestly I don’t really care. I do on the other hand care that I don’t look as good as I used to. I do care that when I do my twice weekly class,(don’t laugh, for an hour twice a week I get to stare at rows of heavy breathing, hot, sweaty gym bunnies), I leave the studio feeling like I’m about to die from lack of Oxygen.
I need to be fitter and look like I can help my clients.
My plan is quite simple loose bodyfat, maintain what muscle mass I have and get fitter. It doesn’t sound that easy, but when you take into account that I have the knowledge base of being a qualified gym instructor and the knowledge base of T-MAG and Elitefts, it should be fairly smooth sailing.
The reason I’m going to post my results, pics and what I’m up to is because that way I know I’ll stick to my plan.
Before anyone mentions it,I did do some before pics but they were so bad that I just threw them away. So the first lot of pics to be posted will be after my first 4 weeks, which means that I only have 1 week left till I post them. I’m not expecting any amazing results, just improvements on where I am now. The whole programme that I have put together will last 16 weeks.
I’m going to be using some of Alwyn Cosgroves energy system training ideas, some of Chad Waterbury’s set/rep schemes and some of the advice Christian Thibaudeau gives in his Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde e-book.
I’m not going to be using any steroids or GH or anything along those lines. I’m 23 and my body is still naturally producing enough test for what I need.
I will be using Wild Raspberry Surge mixed with 5g of Creapure Creatine to help with recovery. I’m also going to be using Udos Oil with my last protein mix of the day. My other supplement, 90+, is made by a local company called Nutrisport, because they fit my unfortunatly tight budget.
The 90+ is fairly low carb and fat, plus with it containing 45g per serving of a blend of whey and casein, it’s decent for last thing at night.
Ok a brief outline of whats happening. In 16 weeks time I hope to be in a position where I’m happier with my fitness levels and my appearance. Every 4 weeks I’ll post results and hopefully pics.
Thats it for now. In 1 week I’ll post my pics, results and what I did for section 1.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and feel free to comment on my results and pics when they arrive, hopefully some of it will be useful to me and my goals.
Foci
