Commited

Hi im 28 in a wheelchair and trying to lise some fat , been training for 2 yrs but never commited till now im quite fit but feel my body image is not good im always concious and confidence is low im sitting down in the chair and find myself trying to pull my stomach in , just wondering if u can offer any advice , I eat about 1400 cals a day if I'm training il increase it stats are
Height 6 ft
Weight 15st
Biceps 16"
Stomach 47"
Chest 47"
Mid section 45"
I'm conscious on cals as I'm using only my arms Ive followed able bodied diets before and put weight on I eat reasonably clean as of today this is typical day for me
8am shredded wheat
9 am Core work ( limited but can feel soreness in my muscles )!
10.30 whey and oats in water
12.30 white rice , chilli con carne (weight watchers)
3pm tin tuna and banana
4.30 Rowing for 30 mins 5.5 k I've put a clamp on the seat to stop it moving works well
Pwo 5 pm 20g dextrose
6pm 6oz sirloin and small jacket
9 pm whey in water
Training will be as follows
Cardio 2 days 30 mins before breakfast
Weight 3 days
Day 1 back + biceps
Day 2 chest + triceps
Day 3 shoulders
I will also do my core as much as I can and supplement with multi vit, glucosamine , bcaa, omega 3
Points to bear in mind
1 I'm in a chair so not burning much cals during the day (
2 my arms rarely get a rest so I'm prone to injuries ( shoulder clicking)
3 I put weight on so easy
4 I'm willing to do whatever it takes as being fat and in a wheelchair is a no go
I really wana make it work

Firstly thnx you've just made my day by just getting intouch , got ur message after breakfast so just eaten 2 toast with peanut butter , feel sick now lol! Weights I normally do with training partner at night 3 days a week will this be ok , I can do cardio and core morning 3-4 days aswell as some specific weights , I'm studying to be an accountant ( change from the building trade before my accident) so I'm home a fair amount , just so u know I am commited and appreciate ur help! I live in the country in between aberystwyth 25 miles and Swansea about 35 miles small town called Lampeter ! Every 1 I know in wheelchairs are so negative so I was so chuffed to read ur story ! Would love to meet u ? ( sounding a bit like a stalker now)

good luck mate, im watching your threads, looking forward to see how you get on :)

You're very welcome, it's fine to train 3 days per week and cardio/core everyday, just remember you will not need as much food on the none weights days, even if your tummy tells you hahah. So drop the pre weights meal of Sunflower seeds, Greek yoghurt and fruit. 
I understand the restraints around needing a training partner, for the majority of the time I train alone but its great to train with others.
I'll make a point of getting over to you and thats a promise !

So that I'm sure , I will do cardio/ core as much as poss I know I will do something every day, weights 3 days and on non weights I will drop the sugars I.e fruit yoghurt etc, morning cardio/core I will do on empty if before 7.30 otherwise my yummy egg whites on non weights day I will have mid morning whey which will tend to be day after weights on weights day shall I have 2 shakes in water 1 mid morning and 1 after weights or just after weights,
The order of my rice meals shall they stay the same everyday i will adjust them to suit if weights are at 5pm or 7pm I have boil in bag 65g uncooked = 180g cooked is this ok as 1 portion
Ur guna regret helping me with all these silly questions
I will keep posted daily
