2009: TFB's Road to Buff

[teamfatboy]

Working out of my suitcase again this week

Tuesday 24th

Press-ups 10x10

Bench Dips 5x20

Thought about wall-squats, or lunges, but decided against it....maybe tonight.

[becbec]

go on, do it!

[biggurl27]

And some chin ups on the door frames haha ok may be not. Yep do it and some ab work too

[teamfatboy]

yes, yes, ab-crunches, lunges, bw squats, all of that... hate to pay a hotel bill for a broken door-frame tho!

[teamfatboy]

Job got in the way AGAIN...got dragged out on the town - which ain't so much fun when everyone else is hammered and you're on your fourth soda-and-lime. Last day today, back on a plane tomorrow

[runveerun]

Yay for being the sober person! You will feel good in the morning while the other will feel like crap! Plus you'll look great! How about burpies they are always a killer to do! Go TFB!!! \:D/

[teamfatboy]

It's more "You might be a bodybuilder if..." you know how much cardio is required to burn off a pint of wheat beer or a red wine :grin:

At least the sound of burpies would be better than what happened to a colleague - who had two drunk gays banging the night away, with sound effects, right next door. :shock:

Hee hee sounds like a classy hotel! or hostel!?

[teamfatboy]

Oh it was a hotel all right - and quite a classy one (you had to take the room for the whole night, not just the hour!)

Just happy it wasn't my hotel :grin:

[becbec]

DB Bench Press 7x4

10kg e/s 12 12 15 15 17 17kg e/s. Wasn't sure of weights initially but by the time I got to the fifteens, I found the sticking point! 1s holds at full squeeze with the seventeens set a nice fire on my back :nod: :shock:

[biggurl27]

Heard my ears burning~! Crikey dick nice pressing there TFB!!!!

[teamfatboy]

That was what I thought, 'til I saw your "What can you lift" posts... I am going to have to keep on pushing hard. Still, if I can convert that into 4x 80kg bb bench, that'd be an all-time PB, and keep me on track for my goals for six months from now.

Pecs are NOT HAPPY today tho :grin:

[marky65]

You have got some great weights piling on there TFB. :nod:

How are the stats looking now then?

[teamfatboy]

Thanks M65... as for the stats, haven't asked, don't want to ask.....

I'm convinced I'm slowly picking up lean muscle mass, but gross weight isn't really moving. I think I can see some definition, but it ain't at the site of the four-point skinfolds!

I'm sure at some point I'll be subjected to the evil calipers-of-doom but wtf....one day soon I'll get the green light to feed the cardio back in, and that, along with the diet and training, will knock some bf off.

I set myself some goals for October timeframe for squats, deads and bench - and right now I'm ahead of the curve

[marky65]

Thats all good then and with the on again off again plane regime that you are leading at the moment its even better that you can still be ahead of the curve.

I am sure once the cardio light comes back on things will start shifting from the 4 points of doom..... :twisted: :twisted:

Warmed up with 15min on a bike, only 110 miserable calories... but I got the green light to feed the real cardio back in \:D/ :dancing:

[teamfatboy]

I must be a sick puppy - now that I can feed the cardio back in to my training plan, I can't wait! Got a pump class tomorrow, that'll bowl 800 cals no worries (was going to say "No Sweat" but actually it'll be 'buckets of sweat' :oops: :roll: )

Yay the cardio!! So it's just a little bit at a time? A pump class is pretty full on! The pump classes in Auckland at Les Mills all the girls wear full face make-up and don't sweat :shock: AND they lift like 10 times more than me

So is this cutting or just adding it back in?

[teamfatboy]

Far too soon for cutting, this is still adding back in some previously-verboten cardio for fatburning - but maybe by May I'll have an actual plan that might say "start cutting here" !!

These are really wicked classes - done right, they'll bring a guy to his knees, especially if he comes over all macho and loads up the bar, thinking "I can squat a hundy, how hard can it be?"...therein lies much pain.

There'll be some of these classes - they're Power classes by Radical Fitness - and there'll be some Fight-Do (box/tae-bo) and some Spin, probably some pre-breakfast spin on the windtrainer at home.

's all good :nod:

[teamfatboy]

O.M.G....did the Power class, loved it but got completely hammered into the ground! :oops: :pale:

Still, if my cardio fitness sucks at the moment, there's only one direction it can go, now I's got the cardio back in the training plan
