Background

When I Started: May 1996
HOW I STARTED:

When I was about 16 years old, I was very overweight and out of shape. I used to get teased a lot when I was younger, and it really got on my nerves. When the summer came around, me and a friend of mine decided to join a gym, so we did. We worked out the entire summer, and made fantastic gains. When we got back to school the following fall, we had completely changed our physiques.

WHY I LOVE IT:

It provides a positive outlet for me, and keeps some sort of structure in my life.

My Workout Program

Since I am happy with my size, this is a regular week for me. Notice I just do circuit training, to maintain leanness and get a pump in my muscles. I would NOT recommend this workout for someone looking to gain mass. Way too much cardio, and not enough heavy weight.

Day 1: Hanging Leg Raises, Oblique Torso Twists on Cable Crossover Machine, 20 mins cardio in the morning on an EMPTY stomach. I perform 40 more minutes of cardio at some point, whether it be two more 20 minute sessions, or one more 40 minute session, for a total of 60 mins cardio.

Circuit training: 15lb dumbell - Bicep curls, Front Shoulder Raise, Side Shoulder Raise, Tricep Kickbacks, 1 arm dumbell Rows, all 15 reps, back to back. Then I rest, and repeat. I do this for 3 to 5 sets, to get my heart rate up, and then I follow it with 4 sets of pushups superset with crunches.

Day 2: Hanging Leg Raises, Oblique Torso Twists on Cable Crossover Machine, 20 mins cardio in the morning on an EMPTY stomach. I perform 40 more minutes of cardio at some point, whether it be two more 20 minute sessions, or one more 40 minute session, for a total of 60 mins cardio.


Lagging Bodypart heavy training: I go all out for whatever my lagging bodypart might be.

Day 3: Hanging Leg Raises, Oblique Torso Twists on Cable Crossover Machine, 20 mins cardio in the morning on an EMPTY stomach. I perform 40 more minutes of cardio at some point, whether it be two more 20 minute sessions, or one more 40 minute session, for a total of 60 mins cardio.


NO WEIGHTS TODAY

Day 4: Hanging Leg Raises, Oblique Torso Twists on Cable Crossover Machine, 20 mins cardio in the morning on an EMPTY stomach. I perform 40 more minutes of cardio at some point, whether it be two more 20 minute sessions, or one more 40 minute session, for a total of 60 mins cardio.


Circuit Training: 15lb dumbell - Bicep curls, Front Shoulder Raise, Side Shoulder Raise, Tricep Kickbacks, 1 arm dumbell Rows, all 15 reps, back to back. Then I rest, and repeat. I do this for 3 to 5 sets, to get my heart rate up, and then I follow it with 4 sets of pushups superset with crunches.

Day 5: Hanging Leg Raises, Oblique Torso Twists on Cable Crossover Machine, 20 mins cardio in the morning on an EMPTY stomach. I perform 40 more minutes of cardio at some point, whether it be two more 20 minute sessions, or one more 40 minute session, for a total of 60 mins cardio.

Lagging Bodypart Blast: (see day 2)

Days 6&7: Since I follow pretty low carbs during the week, on the weekend I cheat on my diet, and relax a little more. If I don't have anything going on, I will still get in the gym and do some cardio and/or abs, but no real weight training unless I have a reason to.

As for legs, all of the cardio keeps them pretty tight, so I focus more on flexibility, and developing my adductors, which are pretty weak. Once in a while I will go all out and perform a very heavy bodybuilders leg day, but after many years of hitting legs extremely hard once a week, I don't really need to do them all that much anymore. Plus I like them a little on the smaller side for mobility.

STICK WITH IT! by Herve D.

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 5:42pm
If you want to have a top-notch physique, you need to put in top-notch effort.  You need to be disciplined and say no to foods that the average person wouldn’t think twice about.  You need to focus your time and energy around making sure that your meals are carefully planned out in advance, and you need to put in the time toward sculpting your body in the gym with resistance training and cardiovascular exercise.  Putting aside all excuses about genetics and “naturals”, you will understand that the level of greatness you achieve with your physique is directly proportional to the...

Why do I do it? Where are the die hard women?

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 5:42pm
Why do I choose grilled chicken breast over fried chicken? Why do I sit in the 180 degree sauna with a sweatshirt and sweatpants on as if it was freezing cold, while people stare at me? Why do I drink 2 or more gallons of water a day? Why do I drink 2 gallons of water a day, and put my body and mind through immense torture that most people would consider "crazy"? Well, for one, I like the attention. I like being more ripped than most people at any gym I walk into. Two, I like to exercise control over my desires and prove to myself that I can do it. I like to be master of my domain. B...

Mindful Consuming - by Thich Nhat Nanh

Posted in Training  :  Dec 28, 2010 5:42pm
In modern life, people think that their body belongs to them and they can do anything they want to it. When they make such a determination, the law supports them. This is one of the manifestations of individualism. But, according to the teachings of emptiness, non-self, and interbeing, your body is not yours alone. It also belongs to your ancestors, your parents, future generations, and all other living beings. Everything, even the trees and clouds, has come together to bring about the presence of your body. Keeping your body healthy is the best way to express your gratitude to the whole cosmo...
