Welcome Tornadowalker :grin: Don't listen to Specter he's just silly :roll:

Whats is your diet looking like at the mo? Obviously doing weights, how often and are you getting in some cardio as yet? I went from probably over that BF% and 110kgs and started with 3 day split, 3 day cardio and increase progressively.

5' 6" 89kg 33% big fatty lol have just started with whey protein and thermomax

Welcome aboard,

Hate to see money going down the drain so -

Ditch the Thermomax it's a waste of $$$ till your diet is 100%

get yourself some lean meat with that money instead, like chicken breast or tuna.

Welcome!!! :clap:

You will find this a great place to meet other gym crazies and you will be encouraged to work hard and reach your goals \:D/

I started out at 81kg and 38ish% body fat (off the scale so the gym instructor had to guess!), 9 months later 63kg and 20% body fat...

so YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

Aiming for 12% is really the only way to go!!! :nod:

Yeah best to split it up I do Back & Bis, chest & Tris, shoulders & traps and legs. Some people split their legs up with abs. I do abs 3-4 times per week but forget to stick in on my journal :oops: To be honest I started out on the Body4life and that worked a treat, can't really remember the concept but yeah think it is the 3 weights 3 cardio from memory.

Contest prep give up alcohol totally, however off season a glass or 2 is fine :grin: Though heaps of people on here don't drink at all....like ever, madness I know :pfft:

Blasphemy - red wine is ALL GOOD! And so is black coffee - best fat burner around. I think 12% is really too low to maintain all year round. Good for summer, ease off in winter (unless your aiming to compete) 16% for women is good (interpret = sane!)

I used to drink like the petrol tank in my car. Gave it up now cant stand the taste or the hangover. Still go through a tank of petrol every second day though. :D
