I'm finally starting a journal along with a fitday journal to record everything i
do from now on. I'm sick of talking about cutting and it's about time i man up
and start actually doing something about it. For being 23% i think i don't look
that bad, but that's still outrageously high. I wish i were at about 10%
bodyfat right now. I'll tell you a little bit about myself now.
Age: 17 (18 in april)
Lbs: 184
Waist-to-hip Ratio: 0.25
BF%: 23
And i'll have some pics posted later today.
Nutrition
There's plenty of things wrong with me right now that i'm going to change.
The first part is my diet, i think i eat way too much. I used to drink a lot of
skim milk and eat too much for dinner along with instant oatmeal with whey
protein every mourning because the abs diet book told me so. I had no idea
about sodium and how it affects your body. I ate small meals of protein
during the day every hour along with a whole box of berries and almonds
every day. Not enough potassium and about a quarter of a gallon of water a
day along with alchohol 4 or 5 days a week. To tell the truth i was clueless
at my situation and looking for an answer. I've learned very much in the past
couple of months researching things. I plan on eating more egg whites in the
mourning, waiting about 2 and a half hours for each meal. Drinking a gallon of
water a day and staying away from alchohol completely while eating carbs
during the mourning and protein during the night. I'm still not sure if the
access berries or almonds hurt me but im trying to balance everything out
today. Basically the abs diet tells you if you stay away from trans fat and
high fructose corn syrup, you're body loses weight alone. That didn't work for
me after months of different diets all without those.
CardioI've never done enough cardio enough as i should. Around 2
days a week for about 10 minutes on the bike i have been doing. Now 6 days
a week at 5am i was going to run at the gym after i eat a banana every mourning.
Weight Training
It's always been easy to train for me, im too afraid of losing muscle mass
now. But im at 184 and my friend at 9% body whos 140lbs can lift more than
me and is my training partner. He never tells me to get more than and quits
when i tell him to hit another rep. He always wants to do what he wants to
do and never what i want. I think if i had a partner more intense like myself
my results would be better. We consulted a personal trainer and he told us
that we should work out five days a week hitting each major body part
seperately.
our workout looks like
monday - chest/bi's (with 5 different excercises for each body part like flies, incline bench or regular bench, decline presses, cable crossovers, things like that)
tuesday - shoulders (deltoids and traps)
wed - back
thurs - tri's
fri - leg's
The problem with this workout is i look leaner but im not getting stronger at
all. all the fat in my body goes straight to my gut and my arms and shoulders
and certain points in my body are all muscle, but this workout pattern just
doesnt give me any gains on any lifts what so ever. It doesn't help me to
lose weight at all either. I don't gain weight while doing it either though.
I've done 5x5 once but eat a lot during it and gained significant strength. But i want to cut now so i have no idea if i should change my routine because my back is extremely weak.
I do abs every once and awhile but it doesnt help them that much. More
cardio should prevent bad abs.
Supplements
I'm staying off of them for now.
In other words Don Pope is coming to my gym tomorrow for a St. Patty Day
party in Ohio. I'm excited to meet him.
All suggestions are appreciated on everything.
I plan on running at 5-530 am everyday on some fruit then coming home eating and going to school while drinking water consistently and eating good things for me every couple of hours while staying away from carbs and fast food at night. I plan on lifting at around 3-330pm every day also.
