Guys,
This is a somewhat long read (necessary to get the info out). To anyone who can provide input and follow along, I would GREATLY appreciate it.
I want to do this log to help with motivation. Motivation to stick to a diet plan esspecially. I tend to love training but hate dieting. But, I'm all out of excuses.
Here's my deal. I got layed off not long ago and I'm struggling financially. I wish I could hire someone but I can't. Any insight that you experienced guys can provide would be great though.
My weight room is my basement. I have limited equipment. Example: I am building a squat rack today using 2x4s and lagbolts. I can do all the basics though and that shall be good enough for now.
Sorry for the long prelude. Here is where I'm at currently.
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 239#
Age: 41
BF: Calipers at gym recently read 16% but there is no way. My experience tells me I'm no less than 20 and probably closer to 25%.
Goals:
By year end: 10-12% BF.
By March 31: Contest Ready for the New Englands Novice (maybe masters)
Supplements:
250mg Test E, every 10 days. More a TRT dose
Creatine Post Work OUt
Multi
Vitamin E, C, CoQ10 post workout
Gear:
outside of the low Test dose, I plan to stay clean. If I'm ready to compete in the spring, I may consider a 12 week prep cycle but only if I'm going to compete. Otherwise, no gear for me.
Here's what I'm thinking for a diet:
For now, I think anything I do consistently will pay off in short order. The silver lining in being this fat is that just cleaning the diet up a bit can get the fat moving fast!
Carbs: 200-250g (200 on non training days)
Pro: 200-250g (250 on non training days)
Fat: 100g
No re-feeds for now.
Keep it just shy of 3k. That's roughly 12 calories/Pound ofbodyweight.
As for food sources, I'm just going to keep it simple but clean.
Training:
I'm following the "Ultimate Hypertrophy Training" by RazorCuts. I can't follow it to a T because of the lack of equipement but I can get real close. I will lift EOD to allow enough recovery.
Cardio:
For now, I am doing a 3 mile walk. I jog the last 1 mile and every other time I'm doing intervals between the telephone poles for that mile. Over all it's about 30minutes of walking and 9 minutes or so of jogging.
I will post my emabarring ass pics ASAP.
For now, Thank you for reading this and feel free to provide commentary.
Thanks,
Steve
