Dav's benchpress beano - formerly the thread called fatties unite. 08 March 2011 16:14 (permalink)
Well after much deliberation and BBC's insistence (lol) I have decided to partake in the unofficial shape up (start date 7th March). I have decided I really need a kick up the backside as after over a year of little training and very poor diet and advancing years I have let myself get into a right state!
 
I weighted myself yesterday (start date) and weighed 16 stone 1lb, I'm 42 btw, I will weigh in every week.
 
I won't have as much time as I would like to write up detailed entries but will do my best.
I have taken a couple of photo's and will endeavour to upload them either today or tomorrow.
 
Although I won't be doing a daily diet rundown here's a sample diet:
 
Breakfast
100g of Oats with Skimmed milk and 20g of ground flax seeds, some chopped up fruit.
 
Snack
Nuts or seeds with fruit or natural yogurt.
 
Lunch
2 pieces of toasted rye bread (with Quinoa and amaranth) with 1 tin of tuna and an apple.
or
Tuna/Chicken with rice and veg.
 
Dinner
Large piece of salmon/chicken/other oily fish etc... with either rice or pasta and vegetables or large salad.
 
Post Workout
Fruit and quark
 
Training today was Chest:
 
Barbell bench press 6x2-15 reps
Dumbell flyes 2x8
 
At the moment training will be one bodypart per day reasonably instinctive concerning sets and reps and very short.

    Good luck in the Unofficial SUC mate

    I'm no expert..........but your diet could maybe use looking at, does not seem to be much protein in there for a man of your weight.

      Many thanks mate you too!

      With regards to protein I aim for about 150g-180g which beleive it or not is fine for me.

      Here's the first picture, age is now showing particularly around chest which is something I want to try and fix with the weight loss and increase in training. I'll see if I can get a back shot up later and also legs although due to bad knees leg training is very poor.

          Thanks BBC since finishing my studies and all the others pressures of life lol I need something to aim for. It used to be (many moons ago) competing but way past that now so aim is to really push myself over the next 12 weeks and see where I end up! Probably in A&E

                  Many thanks Mate

                  How do you do that, as I don't expect you to be my journal editor lol

                  Now for legs, I can't train these much any more so its a question of slowwing down the rot I can't tense them properly anymore as my knees are too uncomfortable but he goes:

                          Yes, your right - we all need that extra motivation and friendly banter. Sorting the journal out was a good step mate

                            Many thanks Steve Back was always my strong point but everything has gone a bit to pot, but muscle memory and all that 12 weeks I'm hoping will work wonders.

                            lol Ghopki normally I couldn't refuse but I now (for the first time since 1999) have something to aim for so its full steam ahead. A bit of friendly competition should work wonders.

                                How tall are you?

                                Is the diet you outlined above what you have been eating recently or is it the 'new' one?

                                Do you do any cardio?

                                    Hi Yib new as from yesterday, portions are not that small 150g so somewhere between (30g-40g of protein depending whether fish or chicken). I'm 5' 11".

                                    No cardio I walk (very briskly) about 3 miles per day even when I used to compete I used to rely on calorie manipulation/reduction for weight/fat loss.
