Tried to up my protein intake this past week and up my weights a touch to get those Arnie guns happenin :coolsmiley:<br />
<br />
A couple of comments here and there don't hurt the confidence either -
Well its been a while since the last update. Firstly RB I only have time for the ladies comments :coolsmiley:<br />
<br />
Still going to the gym 3-4 times a week during my lunch breaks. Have really up the cardio work as well as weight training. Only lost a couple of kilos but my body fat has dropped and lost 8cm around the waist. <br />
<br />
Have discovered the eliptical machine which I have always labeled a girlie machine but as a calorie burner its the best out there. 15 minute run on the treadie weights/strength work (with a 5minute stint on the step machine) and then finish up with 15 minutes on the eliptical and I'm stuffed. But its great stuff<br />
<br />
Big week ahead with the start of a new program and a 2 day basketball tournament on the Gold Coast over Easter. -
New programme is working a treat. Got me going to the gym 3-4 times a week and really enjoying it rather than being a bit of a slog.<br />
<br />
As for the basketball tourney the added fitness really helped given that a couple of teammates pulled out and we had to run with 7 for the 2 days.<br />
<br />
BTW there were plenty of :afro: 's there and Carrara stadium was set up like the Otara flea market - some fella was flogging TSF t-shirts as well but never got to speak to him :nta -
Still going strong with my work at the gym. Have upped the cardio work. Programme now resembles<br />
<br />- 20 mins on eliptical. interval programme at 8 resistance maintaining between 170-180 strides a minute<br />
- 10 mins run on the treadmill about 11kms an hour with 3x1-1:20min sprints at 14km/h<br />
<br /> - Monday & Thursday: biceps, shoulders<br />
- Tuesday & Friday: Triceps, lats<br />
<br />
Eating well during the week with some treaties on the w/end, but feeling great
-
Haven't updated the log for a while, but have been concentrating on the arms/shoulders of late (see "How do I get arms like..." thread)<br />
<br />
I have maintained the same body weight from the day Fatbusters commenced for me, however my goals and programs have changed and instead of losing weight per se I have focused on building muscle mass particularly chest, arms, legs. My body shape has changed considerably and my only regret is that I didn't take any before shots.<br />
<br />
But I am far from over and its time to really attack this gut I have. Its pretty much flat but you know that spare tyre that often finds it way around a mans mid section, well thats where I'm at <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' /><br />
<br />
I don't think the exercise part is of concern because I have a very good mix of <br />- weights days 1/3/5; <br />
- cardio days 2/4<br />
- rest<br />
<br />
But its probably my eating. i don't drink so its definitely all the crap I eat. If anyone can point me to some good eating plans/ideas that would be great. I'm sort of like the TSF experiment in that I have adopted a few things from the fern while incorporating what the trainers at my gym advise.<br />
<br />
So know that your info is well recieved and not done in vainÂ

eating - I've found a simple plan. If your hungry, and feel like a pie, have a bread role, and so forth. Downgrade your cravings!! Also avoid fatty foods wqhen eating out, make a concious choice to order healthy foods, or as healthy as you can at the time / venue you are at. Diet fizzy drinks - I am a martyr to coke, or was, then a martyr to diet coke, now a martyr to coke zero, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. <br />
<br />
smaller portions etc - all the shit your trainiers is saying is right, it just sucks having to do it!!
