Recommended Posts

after a much needed recovery week and eating a lot of junk food, i am recharged and ready to start a very strict 3 week workout plan starting today.

Reasons:

1) ate way too much junk food during recovery week

2) 3weeks off uni

3) gf gone home for 3wks which gives me more time to focus on training/diet :pfft:

Goal : drop bf to below 12%+- and build up on upper body.

stats:

Age:21

Height: 191cm

Weight before recovery week(30/03/08): 89.5kg (bf ~ 12-13%)

Weight after recovery week (06/04/08): 91.5kg (bf ~ 14-15%)

Nutrition:oats,brown rice,pasta,muesli,tuna in olive oil,chicken breast,almonds

Supplements: ON 100% whey, superpump 250, AST multi's, reactiv tr2,reactiv l-carnitine fumerate

work out plan:

sun - cardio (am) abs and chest (pm)

mon - cardio(am) legs (pm)

tue - cardio (am) abs and shoulders (pm)

wed - Back (pm)

thu - cardio (am) abs and arms (pm)

fri - rest day

sat - light cardio (shaolin gung fu)(am) rest day

Please feel free to make comments/opinions/recommendations..etc as i do not consider myself to be any expert in this area. just trying to stick to the basics of training/nutrition.

will also need work on posing

will post an update later today after training

r u trying to drop 5% bf in 3weeks?

more like 2-3%, i did my own skin fold tests so its not very accurate..i'm saying 5% so that i have something to really focus on which helps me train harder....its more of a mental thing for me really..sorry

Its good that you have goals but you have to be realistic or you will just end up dissappointed, how much "upper body mass" do you really expect to gain in three weeks especially while attempting to drop 5%bf? Chose one goal and go for it.

500-700mg lean muscle mass increase per month is extremly impressive just to put things in to perspective

Great that you have commited yourself just make it a long term commitment not a short term one :wink:

You look quite lean for 91 kgs. Your calves, delts and bis look good. I reackon your back is your weak area. You are doing some good lifts. Nutrition wise, how much grams of protein are you taking? It doesnt look like you are taking in enough. Where is the meat?

Assuming those are today's photos, I think you're less than 15% BF. It's only a guesstimate of course, but I'd have put you at about 12%.

You look good - especially legs and shoulders, but work hard on your lats.

thanks for that guesstimate,i had to do my own skin fold testing so im guessing ur prob more accurate than i am...pictures taken mid way through recovery week on the 2nd april 08.
