Background

When I Started: Feb 2008
HOW I STARTED:

After losing all that weight, I started to get some actual definition. I've NEVER had definition. I like it....a LOT! So I decided to commit a year of my life to developing my body into the one I've always wanted but was too afraid to try to earn. I have now decided to extend that original 12 months into a 45 month plan thru the end of 2011.

WHY I LOVE IT:

I love the challenge of pushing my body's limits to new levels, striving to set new PRs every workout and the changes in my body, mind & soul as a result.

My Workout Program

I'm working with an AMAZING Sports Nutritionist (Mary Lavansky), who is a former National Champion bodybuilder and current Maine state champion powerlifter. After my serious weight loss in such a short time she has been tweaking my nutrition and set me up with a 4 week program to add some "volume" to my upper frame. In that I am doing HIIT for cardio (running) as well as some weekend jogging that is the plan for leg maintenance for this time.

I do not belong to a gym. All strength training is in the living room - either bodyweight, bands or (primarily) using the Bowflex SelectTech 1090 dumbbells we bought with our "stimulus:

STRENGTH:
Sets: 3
Dumbbell Reps:
1st: 8-12 reps in good form on a 2-0-4 count, forced negative on final
2nd: add 5lbs 6-8
3rd: same as 2nd to failure

Band/Ball Reps:
1st set: max reps in good form in 60 seconds
2nd: same as 1st in 45 seconds
3rd: same to failure

Bodyweight: all to failure

Mondays - Chest & Bis:
Supine Dumbbell Press on Bench
Standing Dumbbell Curls
Supine Dumbbell Flies on Bench
Seated Dumbbell Concentration Curls
Incline Dumbbell Press on Ball
Standing Curls w/ Bands
Incline Dumbell Flies on Ball
Standing Dumbbell Hammer Curls
5 Point Pushups

Wednesday - Shoulders & Tris:
Standing Overhead Dumbbell Press
Standing Dumbbell 1 Armed Extension
Standing Dumbbell Front Raise
Lunge Crossed Band/Cable Pullover
Standing Dumbbell Lateral Raise
Standing Dumbbell Rows
Bench Tricep Kickbacks
Standing Dumbbell Shrugs
Jacknife Pushups on Ball
Reverse Tricep Dips (Narrow & Wide Grip)

Friday - Back:
1 Armed Dumbbell Rows on Bench

2 Armed Bent Over Dumbbell Rows
Lunging Pullover w/ Band
Prone Incline Rows Bench on Ball
X Over Pulldowns w/ Band
2 Armed Single Dumbbell T Row

Pullups

CARDIO:
Tuesday & Thursday: HIIT running
- 20 minutes with 5 intervals (3 45/90s & 2 60/120s).
Saturday and/or Sunday: 45 minute jog
- Think I ran about 5 miles this past time

CORE:
Tuesday & Thursday
Sets: 2
Reps: 1st: set max reps in 60 seconds, 2nd: same but in 45 seconds, as little rest between sets as possible

Ball Elevated Hip Extensions

Chasing The Faster Car

This was me 2 years ago as of February 4th (pic was taken about August 2007):
[View Photo] Scary part is that is not the biggest I got. By early 2008 I was bigger. It was 2 years ago that I took part in my 1st workout of the 12 week "Biggest Loser" challenge sponsored by a local fitness center that started all of this. For those of you new to my journey, I weighed about 270lbs & was 42%BF. I had been obese for over 2 decades. For what happened after that initial session feel free to check out the Update P...

The Next Chapter

It was primarily a great eConversation with natty pro Tommy Jeffers a few weeks ago that led to this decision..... He convinced me that, for a natty BBer, hitting each muscle group 2x/5 days in a Power/Hyper approach was the best bang for the buck as far as training gains. I realized that, as awseome as my training has been going lately, that perhaps one of the reasons it has been going so well is that perhaps I was not hitting each enough (1x/9 days). I also realized that the entire time I have been training I have worked in a hypertrophy range (8-12 reps) in various forms. I've steadily uppe...

My Real Age???

I LOLd with Mrs. BuckSpin this A.M. about what is happening to me: - I am on a sleep schedule - I need to eat every few hours - I wake up for a 2 or 3am "feeding" - I'm getting bigger & bigger - I am on a high protein diet that consists of a number of liquid meals - I've had meals (like most of us) out of something like this:
[View Photo] ...which eeriely resembles a "sippy cup" I mean, all that is missing is for Mrs. B to burp me!!!! LOLOLOLOL!!!
