Training begets Serenity

The plan.

Mon - Max effort upper body - early morning cardio.
Tuesday - cardio “stuff” will vary depending on time constraints from sprints/Gpp/bootcamp stuff/etc. 1 hour worth.
Wed - Max effort lower body - finnish with sled pushes (prowler)
Thur - Upper body Repetition day
Fri- Easy cardio 45 min.
Sat- heavy sled push/pull day.
Sun - Day of rest.

Diet - plan to lose 2-3 pounds a month for 6 months I need to be under 220 pds to please my doctors/insurance/family/myself.

Goal - try to keep same strength as weight drops/increase flexability/increase cardio capacity/bodyfat under 12%/ not get injured. ← knowing me that is not going to happen. :slight_smile: we will just try to keep it to a minimum.

Fischer,

That looks like a good plan. What are you doing, food wise? I just weighed in and I picked up 18 fucking lbs. since December 5, and I can barely get into my fat pants. (Jesus, I sound like a chick). I figure not going hog-wild on everything would help. :).

Food wise 3-4 meals a day with 3 protein shakes of 60gr protein and 10 grams fat each.

Totals 350-400grms prtein a day 150-250grms carbs. 50-75 grm fat a day.
Cals range from 2400-3300 varies on the day .

Max effort upper.

flat bench w/u’s then 275x8,295x6 and 315x8.5(spotter slight tug on bar)

Blast strap pushups with 25lb weighted vest. 26 reps then 21 reps.

Supersetted chest supported rows and rear pec dec 130x15 and then 100x15 4 sets.

Lateral raise on machine supersetted with preacher curl machine shrugs (don’t ask) 50x20 - 200x25 2 sets.

Banded barbell curls using 2 (total) light-ass yellow fitness bands. 85x8 4 sets. Bands added 15 lbs each on top 1/3rd of movement.

Bweight 233

Starting too feel good with diet and the modified westside protocol.

I am thinking same thing with my diet - trying to be a lean 180(from 190) in 6 months. Consistent easy cardio should do it but I’ll always find a way to screw it up.

Wish you all the best of 2010!

Happy New Year…
Training is looking solid

and interesting.

Hey there Fischer, you seem to be an extremely fit dude, have you thought about doing the Valeria test?

Don’t know about your pullups, but I bet the other stuff would be cake for you. We need a 35+ “elite” to represent!

(p.s. kmcnyc, you were the other person I thought could do the “elite” version)

As always, great training. Hope the holidays treated you well.

This is a cool idea.

Right now I have to pass on this unless we can subsitute A rack pull version for the Deadlifts due to a groin strain/tear I have now. Mt range of motion under load is Fubared.

Everything is else should not be a problem for the reps and time it is asking for.

I will do this with say a 550 rack pull from top of knee. That is a low as I can go right now. How does that sound?

Let me know

Fischer

Hey guys my programming and Kmac’s is very very similar to Defranco’s article that just came out. When we do our max effort lifts it is based on percentages over a 4 week period ramping up each week. Then deload. Then start again.

Awesome program. did I say awesome program. I added in lower body day 2 with heavy sled pulls and drags.

a lot of hard training going on over here Fischer. i’ve been lurking but haven’t posted.

don’t listen to that gear whore Pete… he will try to bring anyone into his dark world to make himself feel better about being such a cheater.

my only critique is no videos. be a sloppy whore like me and the Pale One. it may hurt at first but after awhile you won’t feel a thing.

Gear is for pussies. I’d kick Pete’s ass but his wife is pregnant and I don’t want to upset her.

i posted three times to emphasize pete’s whoreness.

LOL.

I trained alot when I was younger for strength and speed to help my fighting career. And to look good nekkid!!

Only just recently have I dabbled in the world of powerlifting or in my case training like a powerlifter. I am mainly looking for gear to assist me getting stronger as you would say “Raw”.

I am frustrated and am trying different things to fix this groin/tendon issue I have that is all and he respond that these are alot of briefs meaning that they will assist my sqaut alot. i just don’t want pain stabbing me in the nuts everytime something heavier than 315 is on my back.

What would you suggest - Petes reccomended “powerpants” by inzer. I am going to research those and see.

I will try to start posting videos more is just that I don’t think to bring anything to video me when going to the gym with bringing all my gear/clients gear/2 kids to daycare/food etc.

Rick

Meat is such a video whore that I think he out whores my gear whorishness. Best deal on the powerpants is houseofpain.com. Get them up a size from what it says to get.

Oh and Eco is just a whore, plain and simple.

An ugly whore.

With the added bennie of getting to call me a whore three times. If I had feelings, they’d be in a box buried in the dirt by now…

We’re still okay to spoon, though. No worries.
