Looking good mate,

U mention "spinning" that I take it is the bicycle class thing, my gym has it on nearly everyday and have often wanted to give it a go do you rate it as a good fat burner, I currently do 3 1 hour sessions of steady cardio a week, and 30 mins of HIIT. Would u reccommend maybe an early mornign weekend spin?

hi donki
yeah i think that would be good to inculde it at the weekend. i,ve stopped doing it at the moment. working more on myweights at the mo. it burns between 400 to 700 kcls in 45mins. at the moment i do 60mins b4 work and 45mins in the evening mon to fri and 2 hit sessions a week i have to eat in between the weights and cardio thats why i stopped the spinning. hope this helps you. think i will start it again after my comp. titch

One Diet drink per day at this stage is no problem.  Not as good as water, of course, but if it helps you get through the diet then I have no problem

Great progress - it's not what you weight, but what you look like

thanks james,
                        still got quite a bit of fat around the sides and on the abs will they look alot better by losing the fat or should i train them harder. i,m doing around 100 situps 3 times a week. plus does the hiit session have to be done in the morning or can it be done anytime of the day.thanks for your advice graham

Trianing abs will not help burn fat - the fat will come off with continued dieting and cardio

cheers james does the hiit session have to be done in the morning or can i do it anytime of the day thanks graham

Cheers mate, I have a holiday at end of June so trying to get the BF down quickly, I know I am probably going to sacrifice some size but I am happy enough with my general frame if I could get the definition then Il up the cals after the holiday.
 
Thanks again

Well it can be done anytime, but we need to look at your food distribution around it.  When you thinking of doing it and we can adjust the food around it

thinking of doing it after the weights then i have my pwo shake then do the hiit  then bout twenty nins later i have my evening meal thats the monday one and sat i do about 3ish. if it easier i,ll do it in the morning just fancied a change of cardio which i have more choice down the gym thamks james.

not alot to report going too see james this saturday. legs and abs improving but still quite a bit of fat to loose 7 weeks to go so hopefully plenty of time. drinking a couple of black coffee in the day as feel really tired at the moment. hopefully get some new photos up at the weekend.

hi james just a quick question woke yp with a stinking head cold. i,ve noyiced that all the meds like beechams and lozenages have high carbs and sugar in them. are they ok to take or should i just use vicks vapour. also is it ok to drink to drink black coffee through the day. looking forward to our meeting sat and your comments thanks graham

Oh dear.  Don't worry too much about a little carbs in the meds, but just don't overdo them

Tip: Friars Balsm in boiling water in a bowl with a towel over your head for 5-10 mins.  Ask your pharmacist - it really helps

just a quick progress report. feeling alot tighter and leaner, struggled with trainning due to my cold but kept it going quite well.  downed the night nurse to shift it plus helped me sleep like a log. had a couple of extra oranges to help. so feeling alot better and had a good asre kicking on shoulders lastnight from a mate of mine.  played around with my cardio and changed it a bit, started doing incline treadmill for a change too spice things up and noticed i burnt alot more kcls so hopefully this will help shift the last bit of fat.  hopefully get some new photos up for monday and i,ll do my best to make them bigger.

 

went to see james at the weekend he said i,ve made good progress so we are going to have two weeks relaxed. he has said to up my carbs by 50% to every meal so here is all my changes. also had a cheat meal sat night i had three slices of bbq chicken pizza and some wedges very nice seemed to have feeled out well and feel great. slipped up sunday had a cheat evening meal as well had steak but had two pork sausages off the bbq. i look and feel much bigger aslso had two diet red bulls. going to be more sensible next saturday going to have tandoori chicken and rice.
going to put some new photos later to night.

here a few progress  photos i,m 6 weeks out from my first show not the best posing rushed them to be honest but i will improve on my next set of photos in a couple of weeks, i felt great trainning today with the extra carbs.

got my training partner back this week so expecting some great workouts plus the exta carbs seem to be helping me alot. not long now only six weeks got all my protan and dream tan ready.went to see the flexpex team sat to make a few adjustments to my routine which is coming together nicely.cheers sharon.

hi james , just a quick question what other lean red meat can i have is lean mince ok, if not i might use it for my cheat cook something up with it, any other suggestions for my cheat meal and can i have a normal coke or a bottle of cider or anything. this is for sat coming thanks graham

Your diet portions changes seem fine mate - all's good

Lean mince is fine mate

Think of it as a 'treat' meal - Coke is out and Cider is out.  But have anything moderately sensible for food
