Micky McKay Personal Trainer Healthy Action www.fitness121.co.uk

great progress scrubby 6weeks gone already starting to see some great results and plenty of time 14weeks to come in great shape, sounds like the tweaks in diet/training are really helping.

Thanks Dazc   
Thanks Titch
 
Yes things are starting to move in the right direction i am very excited in what i can achieve in the next 6 weeks, i am hoping i will be seeing some abbs in that time, and drop more body fat to expose some more muscle. only time will tell ?

That's good progress mate - about what I'd hope for in the time frame - so all's good.  It's a case of carrying on.  Food wise, keep things as they are; if you'd like to speed things up then my suggestion is an additonal 5 mins on a cardio session.

Ok?

Right ive not posted for a couple of days been very busy and not had the time so here goes,
Spoke to Micky about making some changes to my chest routine, but got told to hold off for now not that i know best it just i get a better pump using dumbells as opposed to barbell and wanted to swap the barbell for dumbells,  
Morning cardio is now 50min walked another route so now i have two to choose from.
Monday was legs very good workout feeling strong most of my weights went up, and really smashed them.had to crawl off a couple bit of equipment 
20 min cardio after training,
 
Morning cardio 50min
Tuesday was chest and triceps
Tried a differant way on the barbell bench and it worked out better, feeling strong, the gym was busy and had to drop down a weight for the flys not happy but couldnt stand around waiting rest of routine went very well good pump,
20 min cardio done after training
 
 
Morning cardio 55mins
And today i am paying the price for smashing my leg routine not only are my legs aching, (hobbled up the road at the begining of cardio this morning) but my chest is starting to tighten up, no training tonight resting my aching bits,
 
Easy day at work tomorrow so will save all my energy for the training couple of hours will see me done,

Morning Scrubby, thanks so much for asking, really kind of you....I'm coming to the  end of my first week, the training is much less than I was doing before, but Micky said I had to train smarter now...I thought it was going to be really easy, but it's Friday and I have really sore calves, my chest is aching (superset!!!) and this morning my bum don't half hurt!...I'm doing evrything I was told to do and trying to use the best weights I can and be very strict with my form.....a couple of the things I can't do cos I haven't got the equipment but am finding other ways of doing the set.
 
Scrubby, I'm really looking forward to showing Mickster how I've changed my bod and worked hard with what I have been given, and the diet from James too is going well, piece of p....s to follow...seems like I never stop eating tho'....on the odd occasion I haven't actually wanted to eat anymore but I am doing as I'm told to the letter...I'm stepping up...for what I have no idea, but I am!...lol
 
sorry for long post....I'm happy you asked..thanks so much.
 
You sound as if you're flying with everything now, and you certainly look fab in those pics...brilliant! your journal is great and inspiring....have a great weekend with the little fella and your missis.....

Right trained this afternoon, session went very well, just one thing has anyone else noticed that one week you can pump right up and feel big and the next feel real flat, still pumped though, but a differant feeling, or is that just me ?
 
Training was hamstrings delts and traps, couple of weight increases on the leg curl,and the shoulder press,
for some reason while doing the stiff leg deads i got a big pump in my shoulder and traps, thats new dont normally get that and ive not changed my style ?
 
20min cardio and weighted my self 17st 9lbs my legs are still showing the most improvement guess it just waiting for the rest to come on board and play the game, as of sat it will be 13 weeks and counting untill the day of the show.
 
cheat meal tomorrow i am going to cook something not sure what yet but its going to include pasta and mince and some garlic bread or cheeze bread hot from the oven.mmmmmmm yum

Hi chap good luck with micky tomorrow, my off season training was just 5x5 lifting as much as posiable,
the story is went to see the show that i am entering this year and thought i want to be on that stage so off to a local gym and just got my head down, eating lots and lifting as much as i could, prior to that i had not lifted a weight in about two and a half years,
In hindsight i should have contacted James then, as i just ate what made me grow but in the process i put on too much fat, I will not be making that same mistake again, this is the first time i have ever done a cut and it has opened my eyes shame its about 20 years too late, In the past i think i have eaten too many carbs on a bulk, but we all live and learn its been said every days a school day not wrong there if your mind is tuned into what you are doing, James gave me a routine but micky took it and made it work for me, I will have to go see Micky and would love to train with him, as i think i could learn a lot even in just one seasion. go with an open mind and i am sure he will be able to help you too. 
 
I am the better cook in our house so i dont need to earn browney points, i cook because i like my cooking i will say no more !! not keen on choc cake but a nice cheeze cake or a fruit cake there you go get me talking about food thats all i seam to do these days talk about nice food, there`s a girl in the gym where i train that 2 week out from her contest and we both talk about nice food while on the tread mills
our conversation start out about training and diet and allways ends up about food.

Cardio done this morning full wet gear as it was pissing down when i left the house, it stopped raining about half way round just as it was getting light, i did ask my self what i was doing out in the rain, but then thought i need to burn off the fat around my middle and just got on with it,
Training last night was legs still feeling strong and making weight increases legs are looking better every week, suffering from leg doms today looking like an old man when trying to stand this weekend is picture time again two weeks come flying around, I am 12 weeks out on sat and i think time is going to pass like the blink of an eye, there are some changes to be seen but not as noticable as up till now, but i might see more when the pictures are taken,

Right am cardio done it was bright when the sun came up frosty and a little windy, all i all considering the last couple of days a whole lot better, got to go training this morning (hate training in the mornings) my little lads ill, thats one of the reasons i stayed at home yesterday, the other half is working a late so she is off to work at 11oclock and wont be home till later tonight, oh what joy another day stuck at home with a sick lad that just wants to have cuddles and watch dvds, i am sorry if that sounds bad but i miss talking to a grown up people,and doing grown up things your time is not your own when looking after small sick people I could never be a stay at home dad looking after small kids, now i know why mums get fat because they get board very board and would drive me round the twist, its mind numbing right off to the gym

Back from training sitting here eating mackeral and sunflower seeds, how the hell do you guys train in the mornings i was there strong will and able but my head was not having none of it, i guess if i trained in the mornings all the time i would get used to it,
Training today was back and bicepts all in all it was a very good workout good pump on back, and bicepts look massive while arms are squashed on the preacher bench, i measured them the other night as you do and they were 17 3/4 inch, down from 18 1/4 but looking more peaky on the bicept and showing more shape, my shape seams to be changing on a weekly basics,
