hey

my names calvin

ive been training for about 2years and only in the last year have got serious

was about 85kg when i started and i have just hit 97kg..

im at about 17% bodyfat wich i would like to change i would love to be able to maintain around 12% year round, i should be able to acheive this with 3-4 hiit cardio sessions per week this year.

my goals are more strength orientated for the moment

have only just started training legs in the last 2months (beginer mistake of only training upper body) have seen real good gains in my legs so im hoping for some real progress this year

personal bests at the moment:

squat: 3x 120kg

bench: 5x100kg

dumbell bench: 6x45kg

deadlift: 10x120kg (havent pushed myself with these yet, due to strengthening lower back before i push it)

leg press: 4sets of 8reps at 300kg

people probably dont care about numbers, but to me im always intrested in what people are lifting, i feel i am weak and have a long way to go but thats what i love the most its a challenge, every workout i try to give it all ive got.

current workout split:

monday: legs

tuesday: chest and tris

thursday:shoulders and traps

saturday: back and biceps

im natural and always will be, not intrested in the juice.. and dont like the look of roid bodys. but each to there own..

supps:

balance wpi unflavoured

reactiv casein protein

bsn cellmass

gaspari superpump250 (have just finished this, gave me a bit of a rush, got me all amped.. not really worth the money)

scivation xtend (bcaa's) going to give this a try soon

i believe hardwork and a good diet are the key to success, supps are maybe 5%

current idol: layne norton

anything more you wanna know please ask

oh forgot

typical daily food intake

meal 1: protein shake and 2weetbix or 1cup porridge

meal 2: chicken,beef or fish with some greens and kumara/brown rice

meal 3: scrambled eggs 2whole eggs 4egg whites plus brown rice/kumara or wholemeal bread

meal 4: protein shake maybe some carbs

meal 5: chicken,beef or fish with some greens and kumara/brown rice

meal 6: casein protein shake

this is what i try to do as much as possible, but things come up sometimes as you all know and your meals dont go to plan

i am currently a student at victoria university so i usually have time to eat like this, i realise for people in a job it makes it alot more dificult

im 23years old

Hi GhostN! Great introduction. You are not alone, alot of people are driven by the numbers. Always walk into the gym with a set plan and know what you're going to be doing before you go in. Record your weights, and watching the numbers creeping up week by week is a big motivator.

You will find you can adjust your BF% levels easier via diet than cardio. But looks like your diet aint too bad at the moment. Obviously change it up a bit when you want to start cutting.

Anyways, welcome to the forum :grin:

yep i do alot of reading on this subject and love to learn as much as i can. I realise i can tweak diet. I have done no cardio due to knee injury for the last 2years so im sure it will help to lower my year round bf%. Im bulking at the moment, i may do an all out cut at the end of this year but i think for the most of it im going to be trying to grow as much as i can. Maybe try lower bf% a little as im not that comfortable with it at 17%. 14 and under would be ideal.

I may start a journal when im back into my routine at uni.

Hi Paul

You kinda hi-jacked someone elses intro there but its all good.

Good stuff on the progress so far. You might want to look into taking Protein Shakes as a minimum. There is a million brands to choose from and they all claim this and that but you can trust the major selling brands like Optimum Nutrition (ON) and Balance. So get yourself a tub of that and at least have one after your workout. This will aid in building lean muscle. The more lean muscle you have the easier it will be to burn fat.

If you want to get the most out of your workouts look at a Nitric Oxide supplement like Superpump 250 or Mega NO Blast. You can buy these things from your local supplement store or online at places like http://www.nutratech.co.nz or http://www.shotgunsupplements.co.nz etc

Good luck and welcome :grin:
