Jimmy23 - Summer cutting (6weeks) with pic - 10 June 2008 10:51
Hello all,

Right I've decided to start up a journal just for the extra bit of motivation in getting me to my 'cutting' goal which has come around extremely quickly and is now only 6 weeks away!!

Brief History

Okay so i think like the majority of people i love my fast food (maybe a bit too much ) and when i was 21/22 i was hitting 14 stone at 5 FT 11" and eating nothing but junk. I wasn't happy with the way i looked and in beginning of 2007 decided to do something about it! (New Years Resolutions and all) so started to hit the gym at lunch time as and when i could, nothing to serious and as with any young newbie to the gym all i wanted to do was get them 'HUGE GUNS' so to speak and realised after around 3 months why was i not getting 'BIG' all over like i wanted/intended.
So i started doing a bit of searching on the net and came across this amazingly designed web site promising all these results in no time at all and bought into the whole thing (guess which website that was)!! To be fair tho there was 1 bit of good that come out of me wasting all this money on fancy 'Magic' products and that was a designed 5 day routine where i previously did not have a clue. over time I've adapted this to my needs along with the help from members on here!! (cheers).

My Current routine per the below. (now a 4 day split)

Chest/Tri's

BB Bench Press 4x8 (on the last 2 sets normally only get 6 reps out)
DB Incline Press 3x8
Fly's 3x10
Dips 3x Failure
Skulls 3 x10
Press up's 2x Failure

Back/Bi's

Pull Up's 3x Failure
DeadLifts 4 x 10,8,6,4
Bent Over Rows 3x10
Bent over press up's 3x8
Seated Curls 3x Failure

Legs/Abs

Squats 4x10,8,6,6
Calf Raises 3x10
Leg press 3x 8
Various Ab

Shoulders

Shoulder Press 3x10,8,6
Shrugs 3x10
Side Raises 3x10 (not sure of the correct name)
Kettlebells raises3x10

Also note that i am currently running in the morning's with HIIT training for 20min unfuelled.

My Current Diet as per the below

Wake 6.30am - 20min HIIT run

Breakfast 7.15 - 2 scoops of MP Max + 60grams of oats + 3g Creapure

Mid morning snack 10.30 - Homemade chicken breast in Breads crumbs and 3 Omega 3,6 and 9 MP tabs

Lunch 13.00 - 2 slices of Burgen Soya + Linseed bread and chicken breast in Cajun spices

Afternoon snack 16.00 - Homemade burger and 3 Omega 3,6 and 9 MP tabs

Train 6.30 - Currently homemade pre-workout sup

Fin Train 7.30/8.00 - 2 scoops of MP Max + 3g Creapure

Dinner 8.30/9.00 - some kind of Meat (chicken or beef) plus veg and small amount of carb

Bed 10.30 - Currently not eating here.

The above is obviously slightly changeable depending what's available but i feel i eat very healthy compared to where i used to be.

My current pic ( i hope it's attached okay)


Okay so i hope this Journal is a success and turns out to be productive in keeping me on the straight and narrow, I'll be updating this after every work-out session.

I would appreciate all your comments good or bad (all help is good help)

Cheers peep's!!

JIM

Tuesday PM

Shoulders + Abs

For this session was my first session using SP250 stacked along with SizeOn (sipping during work-out). I'm currently cutting as well and keeping carb's low so strength is down a little.

Arranged a little circuit of 4 exercises of 4 sets for the shoulders today per the below.

DB Seated Shoulder Press 14x24kg - 8x24 - 5x24 - 10x20
DB Shrugs 10x32kg - 10x32 - 10x32 - 10x32 (plus hold in position for 20 secs)
Lateral Side Raises 10x8kg - 10x8 - 9x8 - 9x8
Standing Kettlebells Press 10x16kg - 10x16 8x16 - 10x16 (on each shoulder)

Then Ab work-out.

Crunches
Bicycle Crunches
Raises

I started to lose a lot of my energy and power into the 3rd set however this picked up on the 4th set. Felt a huge pump in the gym and after plus at the end i was outta breath but i still had good energy level's!.

Next work-out will be Chets+Bi's!

I also done 20 min of HIIT training Tuesday morning unfuelled.

Some very good progress in 8 months between those pictures. Will keep an eye on your journal, keep it up.

Out of curisoity, what are Bent over Push ups? Cant say I've heard of them. Might want to consider fuelling HIIT though

Bent over press up's


err hard to explain bud but i'll have ago.

on the squat rack use the bar on the flat bit then slide legs to the end (in my gym its the mirror/wall) hands shoulder width apart and pull your body from almost the floor up to your chest (like a reverse press up but working your back).

sorry i don't no the name and can't find a pic on the web.

humm i've always been under the impression HIIT sound be done on 'empty' to promote fat burning.

i'm currently running in the early morning so would also find it hard to fuel before.
