Progress pics

[TerminatorTom]

Well, I've been lifting hard for about 8 weeks now, 4-5 times a week, 2 upper body and 2 lower body workouts, recently followed the last 2 weeks by HIIT cardio.

I'm 6'1, weigh about 193.......prob about 8% bf?

These aren't the best pics, but I took them myself, so cut me some slack!

Damn, it wouldn't let me uplaod them. Here's a link instead.

[TerminatorTom]

Thanks man! I appreciate it.

 

[chewyxrage]

you've only been lifting for 8 weeks? what do you mean "hard" for 8 weeks?

you're lookin big and ripped. good work.

 

[TerminatorTom]

No, I've been lifting for a while.......... I just focused on strength and explosiveness for 8 weeks while staying as lean as possible. Lots of deads, squats, cleans, snatches, push presses, and rows, with some plyos and chins thrown in.

By hard I mean totally focusing on not missing any meals, not faltering in my diet at all, and making sure my supplement intake was right on, esp post workout.

 

[chewyxrage]

Oh, I see. Kinda what I figured.

Well, your dedication definately shows

 

[DJ_UFO]

What is your cardio and training split like. Similar body types I am heavier but likely less lean....looking to drop some b/f so I figured I would ask what u do for cardio and how long. Thanks in advance. Lookin good

 

[TerminatorTom]

OK- Training spilt is usually 1 upper body, day off, 1 lower body, day off, then 1 upper body, 1 lower body 2 days off....That's roughly my sechedule. Certain days, I'll train BJJ/wrestling at night , so if I lift that AM, I won't bother w/ cardio.

Typical workout- 5-6 sets, 4-5 exercises, 1-6 reps

Typical post workout cardio- 20-25 minutes:

Precor Elliptical Trainer...interval course. Level 3 on rest intervals, level 12-14 on work intervals....5 min cooldown

Treadmill- walk 5 minutes at 3.5 mph, then sprint for 30 sec, walk for 1min, repeat for 10-15 min, then walk 3.0 for a cooldown (don't have any set incline for walking, i vary it) Incline at 15 degrees for sprints and rest intervals

Jump rope- 2 min of jumping, 1 min of rest... repeat for roughly 20 min

Hope that helps out a little.

The main exercises I use have already been listed above, usually take about 2 min b/w sets, depending on how heavy and what movenment.

 

[TerminatorTom]

BTW- for the cardio, I pick ONE of those..... LOL I don't do them all on the same day, just trying to be clear.
