Background

When I Started: Jun 2010
HOW I STARTED:

WHY I LOVE IT:

First and foremost, I love working out because it makes me feel like I am DOING something for my health. It gives me that excuse when I want to eat something unhealthy, and it gives me a reason NOT to eat it when I don't want to. I love the constant progression and the challenge of the next goal.

And I thought I was tough...

Posted in General  :  Jun 16, 2011 3:57pm

So since February, I've been lifting heavy.  By 'heavy' I mean enough weight to keep me down to 5-8 reps max.  After doing this for a good 4 1/2 months, I was pretty accustomed to feeling a bit sore/stiff the next day. I figured my body had 'toughened up' and I was simply USED to the pain.


 Boy was I wrong...


 I switched to the '666 - Workout From Hell' (see previous post) which is basically 6 sets of 6 reps within 6 minutes.  I completed day 3 yesterday and today I feel like I got hit by a mac truck! Thank god today is a cardio only day be

Changing my workout plan after 3 months...

Posted in Status  :  Jun 09, 2011 2:31pm

This is a difficult decision I am making.  I have been using a workout plan designed by Derek 'Beast' Charlebois  as a Mass Builder. I have to say, that after being on it for 3 months, I don't want to get off of it.  I have gone from 170lbs in Feb 2011, to 190lbs in Jun 2011.  Much of those gains were between Mar-May while on his Mass Builder routine.


That being said, I DO want to change it up a bit, lean up a bit, and challenge my self a bit. Which leads me to another one of his plans Training From Hell - The 666 Method!


I can't wait to get th

I seriously need to address my diet.  I've been trying hard to eat a ton of calories and maintain a 40% Protein, 35% Carbohydrate, and 25% Fat diet, but looking at what I ate today is not cutting it.

Breakfast


3 Hardboiled Eggs, 1 Cup Vanilla Yogurt with Honey


Snack


1 Body Fortress (Strawberry) Shake mixed with Skim Milk


Lunch


1 Banana


1 Package of Almonds (1 serving)


1 Protein bar
