Well, here goes another shot. I entered one a year ago I believe, and I was actually doing pretty well until we lost the internet courtesy of Talktalk and I lost interest.
This is a rugby shape-up due to the goals mainly being fitness and performance based, but I also need to drop around 10kg for my intended change of position from Prop to flanker, so I imagine I should be looking a lot better by the end of it anyway. As it´s too early for pictures, let me paint you some mental ones.
Current weight - 111kg
Height - 6´1
Bodyfat% - God knows, probably 25%
Natural, no supps either
Goals:
Drop to 100kg dry
Vastly improve cardiovascular ability, both aerobically and anaerobically
Improve speed - focus on acceleration
Improve power
Maintain some semblance of strength
I actually think 12 weeks is a pretty good time frame for this, most of it should come naturally with the drop in weight. The main problem will be getting the calorific balance right - something I´ve got very wrong in the past. That being said, I fully intend to play it by ear as calorie counting makes me want to jump under a bus.
Won´t be updating this as much as I´d like to as I don´t own a computer, recently had my work contract finish (Barcelona) and so currently out of work, so even the internet cafe is a bit of a luxury until I find more work. Once or twice a week perhaps.
Will weigh myself every Monday morning on the scales in the gym to keep an eye on how things are going weight-wise, currently sore as hell after the first half of the week training after nothing for 2 weeks due to Christmas!
Good luck all.
