Ok, I'll try to keep this brief. As a couple of you might know, i'm getting murried in August, so decided to get in shape. Coming off about a 4 month layoff, but haven't laid off food in that time. Actually been pretty consistant with eating unhealthy.
Training's taken from Lyle McDonald's Ultimate Diet book, which is as he claims an improved version of Dan Duchaine's BodyOpus. Grill me for the light weights and full body workouts, but that's what the man says to do.
(I'm gonna post last week's workout, and up until today)

Just do the adonis diet dude. you won't be able to stick to this crazy diet plan for long.

you're not too fat that it will take a long time to get lean, you just have to do something practical for you, not some crazy bodybuilder dead junky duchaine diet.
I actually like the training.

I actually like the training.
the weights are a little too light, but according to the guy it's to draw something out, something about glycogen, i dont' know.
anyways, the diet's fine. i get it all in about 4 meals a day, which is fine for me. plus i like eating meat and hate vegetables and most "carb" stuff anyways. i only got lightheaded once on wednesday, but it was nothing bad. so i don't mind it.

This training will definitely burn a lot of calories. The frequency will force your muscles to adapt. May need to take a few days days off here and there so you don't feel burnt out.

wednesday friday and sundays are off. i didn't mention i only take 30 seconds off between sets, so i'm in a puddle of sweat when i'm done. i know, i could be in better shape, but i'm done with the whole thing in under 40 minutes.

Where's the daily cardio, or did i miss it?

have you ever read bodyopus? I'm wondering how it compares in your opinion. I'm interested to see how this all pans out.
since your taking winstrol are you planning to take some clen as well? I don't know what winstrol is supposed to do so I'll just ask...is it recommended for a fat loss program? I honestly don't know jack about roids, just talked to someone about clen the other day cause I didn't know a thing about it.

You are going to fail. Want to bet on it? You have failed EVERY SINGLE time. You should let Myself,BAST and Daddywaddy help you.
well i failed cuz i honestly didn't care.
since my goals aren't really to be a massive roid monkey, so something like your physique would be more to my liking. we'll see how this goes. it's only been a week.

i haven't read bodyopus, but from mcdonald says in a sentence or less: bodyopus was low to zero carbs 5 days, with two days of massive carbups (around 12-15 grams of carbs per pound of lbm) and the training was very similar to german volume training.
the biggest differences that mcdonald changed is one day of massive carbup and one of normal carbup and the training goes (even though my weights don't show it) two days of super light and fast, one day of "medium" and one day of heavy training. once i get used to the weights more i'll get closer to this.
i don't know yet about clen; i read both sides, some say it blows ephedrine out of the water, some say it doesn't compare; guess on how you respond to it and what quality you get. i think i'll stick with ephedrine while it works, 12 weeks or so then i'll look into it.
winstrol's a pretty mild anabolic, taking it mostly to preserve any muscle i have while dieting, plus it's a semi mild dose.
pumpster: for cardio, i won't do any for the first 4 weeks until the diet's spot on and i get my weights in order. then i'll start by adding most likely hiit on off training days for 4 weeks and then add on 2 more moderate days on monday/tuesday (30min-1hr, depending on need).
what do you think of my setup?

I'm doing a kinda modified version of bodyopus but I'm going off of memory, I read it about 2 years ago. Lots of carbs on the weekends and very low during the week. I've lost about 9lbs in 3 weeks...I'm drinking 2 gallons of water a day as well and doing more cardio than ever. I do use ephedrine and caffine right now but I don't like it very much, makes me light headed and I feel a little weak when I first take it.
Good luck and thanks for the answers.

Nice log, u seem to absorb the info very well! I encourage you to stick to it, lyle mcdonald definitely knows what he's talking about- quite unlike the "Adonis" princinples that seem to be very much unfounded in science.
-
well i failed cuz i honestly didn't care.
since my goals aren't really to be a massive roid monkey, so something like your physique would be more to my liking. we'll see how this goes. it's only been a week.
Good, ignore "adonis" and any negativity and go for it. This is the perfect time of the year, with 3 months to get in shape for summer, if you stay focused. 8) I started a plan to accomplish similar goals, with about the same time frame in mind. In other words, there's not much time left to cut corners.
As far as training, you definitely have room for cardio, it's not an ardous weight workout. In other words there's no excuse to wait 4 weeks to start cardio, if you're serious about getting in shape.
I'm old school on cardio, 5-6 days a week. Weight days you can do it before, after or at a separate time of day. You could do cardio less often for longer duration, as long as the weekly time about the same. I suspect daily cardio's slightly more effective but either way. I think it's better to start on it now though-the sooner you get used to cardio the faster it gets easier and creates benefits and fat loss.
As far as weights:
-Why do you have legs in the middle of upper bod work? Put the legs both thighs and calves together, and do them after upper body.
-IMO if you want to get in shape, do squats virtually all workouts, regular or hack. Just a lot better for the body overall than leg press, and a better conditioner.
-Rest time between sets a minute's ok, as is 30 seconds though it's severe. A minute max. between sets still works very well, unless you prefer the shorter rests. If you're doing cardio, it's not necessary to go with very short rests like this unless preferred.
-Triceps: also use lying behind the head extensions sometimes, to hit different areas. On pushdowns, use a close grip with elbows flared, more of a compound, more effective version.

well dude you read my mind. i do plan on doing all of those eventually as i'm still getting used to the weights/moving them up & down.
the one thing i'm gonna listen to you on starting monday is cardio. since i'm done in about 40 minutes and still have a little bit of energy left, i'm gonna start doing cardio. so i'll start that two weeks earlier.
so starting monday im' gonna do moderate cardio on weight days (stepper or some crap for about 30 minutes to start with) then a type of hiit i got started on that i liked. kind of like the bfl version, with upping intensity levels every minute. i'll probably do that for 20 minutes and start at something super slow and then go up in intensity.

Turd,
Do cardio daily, less of it on weights days, and as you said go with lower intensity and longer time at first, slowly increasing the intensity over the next few weeks. If you try to go to intense on cardio before getting used to it, it's easy to give up on doing it.
On weight days, it also works to do some before and after the workout, both to make it easier and to use it as a good warmup for lifting.

i beat you to it. Today's was a nice slab o swiss chocolate. With some effort I think it's possible for you to increase your belly before the wedding.
Hope this helps

looks like i'm getting stronger (adjusting) on some, getting weaker on other parts. that's to be expected cuz i'm low carbing it. not really concerned about it, as long as i'm getting stronger on saturdays (heavy, carbed up days).
looks like no cardio this week; i'm still trying to figure out when/how to do it, but next monday for sure it's starting.
-
The cardio should quickly become a daily thing if the idea's to seriously try to lose weight. Max. 1-2 days a week without cardio.
The least gruelling way to build up cardio IMO is to start with very low intensity for a long period of cardio 30-40 minutes/day minimum, then slowly increase the intensity over coming weeks while keeping the time the same. Easier IMO than trying to go high intensity cardio for short bursts while out of shape. Just my opinion, others may find the opposite.

The cardio should quickly become a daily thing if the idea's to seriously try to lose weight. Max. 1-2 days a week without cardio.
The least gruelling way to build up cardio IMO is to start with very low intensity for a long period of cardio 30-40 minutes/day minimum, then slowly increase the intensity over coming weeks while keeping the time the same. Easier IMO than trying to go high intensity cardio for short bursts while out of shape. Just my opinion, others may find the opposite.
oh brother, i bet you're the type of guy..
yeah, i hear you. doesn't seem to matter for me either way, so on lifting days i'm gonna start with 20 minutes of moderate (4x/week) and then i'll do 2 days of 20 minutes of hiit type. i'm still gonna take sundays off, i need a physical and mental break. i'll go up 10 minutes on moderate days every week til i hit an hour and i'm gonna work to 2.5 miles on the treadmill on non lifting days, then i'll figure out where to go from there (all starting monday).

well, i haven't worked out since last thursday i think. i just got a letter from the city that i'm eligible for a "career advancing" test. the nice thing is the test is on may 12th, and i got the notice on well, april 14th.
i sent the check in last december, and thinking i didn't qualify (it's a first come first serve test if you qualify), i didn't study for it. now i have less than a month to learn 3 years worth of shit. so, needless to say, gym time has been put on the backburner.
i know it sounds like a bitch post, but i do work from 7 to 6 every day (minus sunday), which leaves me about 4 to 5 precious hours a night to study plus all day sunday. just can't afford that 1.5 hr trip to the gym and back.
i'm gonna work around my schedule to see if i can fit it in monday. maybe sleep 4 hours a day and then lift and go straight to work. i don't know, just got newly motivated by the fiancee who said "your back looks skinny", meaning not fat.
so bash away.
god i sound like vince goodrum with that excuse post.

Power Rod, until you take the stage and looks completely revolting, then make excuses, you cannot be like Goodrum. Don't panic ;)
You seem to be training very hard, and I saw a small difference in your 2 week shots. Good stuff. Keep it up...

lol, thanks for the kind words. the fiancee's words of encouragement (even though she said my back's skinny) and yours will get me to plan this out somehow so i can be back on track monday.

Stick to cardio at least, because your goal is weight loss. Deosnt take extraordinary amt of weight training to keep maintenance mass.

that's kind of what i was planning on doing, running at home. it's only 3 more weeks, so i'll survive somehow. i'm not jay cutler, so i'm not worried about losing "muscle , bro".

Have you slacked off PowerRod, or just not posting? >:(

ok, i have returned untriumphantly.
testing/studying's all done, the only thing i have to worry about is the wedding now. well not so much the wedding, but the crap leading up to it.
i did some legs today plus about 45 minutes of cardio. i said no matter what i'll put in 6 training days a week for the next 13 weeks. weight at 200 lbs this morning. nutrition/training the same so i won't keep reposting that. the only thing that's changed is the cardio.
i'll try to post pics every two weeks. thanks for checking up on me.
-
just to chime in:
went 4 days this week so far ( i plan on going today and tomorrow).
lifted every time, ran a mile every time plus 45 minutes of "medium" cardio on the elliptical.
i'll probably post some pictures a week from monday if there's any progress. i'll let you know on the weight change.

update:
something wrong with the camera, but i measured myself:
weight: 201
ht: 5'11"
waist: 38 (ouch, around the bellybutton, relaxed)
chest: 45
arms: 15 3/4
quads: 24 3/4
calves 15 1/4
weight might've gone up cuz i added creatine, i'm not too concerned with it, my belt went down one notch.
also, vascularity in forearms and calves coming in nice, which means i'm either due for a heart attack or i'm losing fat.
i'm either gonna add a second cardio session or extend my current one, most likely add one more in the early a.m.

Pathetic.
meltdown. TA seems hurt that power rod doesn't want his help :-\

down 2 lbs this week.
i had 2 cheat days though, one of them being totally uncalled for.
so i'm gonna cut it down to 1 this week.
everything going great, cardio/ lifting.
i'll try to post pics as soon as i find the camera, but there probably isn't much of a change.
