pb75's 1st training schedule

[pb75]

Right, after a few months reading, learning and posting I have now decided it might be a good idea to start my training journal. I enjoy following the journals for everyone on here so hopefully sometime or other you can read mine and feel free to post comments, criticism or encouragement!

To recap, I am 6ft 1, around 14.9 stone (last reading), lean athletic frame except the belly. I am following the stronglifts routine but cutting back on the carbs and cals as I am trying to lose some bodyfat, so training fasted (well, not eating for 3 hours before workout, not sure if you can call this fasted?) and relying on the bodyfat for energy. Seems to be working well so far, have visibly seen a reduction in the gut whilst maintaining by gains and strenght on the 5x5 program-in some cases still adding weight! I know this is not the ideal program for this so might change to something like GBC if progress slows up.

I am training tonight so will post up how it went tomorrow. As for todays diet plan it has/will be:

waking-glutamine, as per the wotan reccomendation
hour later-bcaa shake with alfafa powder, (tasty!..) some omega tablets and multi vit
11am-small tin of salmon with tomatoes and cucumber, boiled egg, apple
2pm-will be... chicken breast, boiled egg, mixed nuts/cranberrys
pre workout-black coffee-
during w/o bcaa with water
post will be be whey isolate/alfafa,creatine, vitargo shake
dinner-2 pollock fillets (these are cheap and tasty) with broccoli-some more omega tabs
pre bed-some zinc, bcaa shake and another multi vit

also have 2-3 green teas throughout the day, this is my typical daily diet at present, with either beef or chicken ususally for dinner if not fish-I do this 6 days a week but then have a cheat day on Sunday to boost the metabolism up again..hoping it all makes sense..as stated seems ok so far, going to keep this up for another 4 weeks and see how things improve...bye for now

well im a z-list celebrity is on so a good time to post tonights workout.

started with a 5 min walk on the treadmill to warm up, then:
squats 5 x 5 at 107.5kg.....up from last sessions 105kg so a good start

bench 3 x 75kg, starting to stall at this so maybe those lack of cals and carbs beginning to kick in, but will stick at it for now

barbell rows 5 x 45kg...starting low again as initailly my form was terrible and ended up using straps

then finished with a 10 min blast on the treadmill, 1min walk, 1min sprint.

back to the gym tomorrow for a 20 min hi/lo cardio sess, hopefully the belly will continue to shrink!

nothing special today, just a 20 min cardio sess,,,am going to plan out a gbc style workout for the weekend i think

looking forward to my dinner now, peppers, courgettes and onion with chicken and some corned beef, with a small side of potatoex, followed by a good nights rest

...but theres more chance of elvis being discovered on the moon than any spare food being left uneaten around me!

As long as you eat all the high protein foods first and accidentally drop the high carb/low protein foods on the floor

[pb75]

lol, im trying...tonight was a bit naughty with the potatoes but generally the only carbs i try to eat are green or if not as wholesome as possible!

[MiniHulk]

Potatoes are fine, especially at night - I am all up for some carb backloading

[pb75]

yeah, read up about backloading...thought you hated carbs though?!

[MiniHulk]

I do hate carbs, but I am sick of fighting everybody about it - people are too highly brainwashed. Turning someone against carbs is like turning a catholic off god... lol.
