I have condensed my workout-making shorter rest periods..approx 30 secs and run to gym so the weights I have been lifting have not markedly improved in the last 3 weeks.

Friday 16 January 2009

now that ive finally started the workout properly I can start posting, so last week was kind of a warm up week just to see what weights i can lift, now for the big time...

1o mins warm up (treadmill)
20 mins flexibility

Main workout is as follows, with a tempo of 3 seconds on the down motion, 1 second on the lifting motion and then 1 second pause. A rest of 30 seconds (although varies depending on how quick i can get the weight)
This week its 2 sets of everything and 15-20 repititions of each exercise

So here it goes 3 times a week 2 sets of each trying to get to 20 reps maximum and with PERFECT technique, no comprimising technique for heavy weights to make me seem stronger.

Day 1, first picture happens to be at 00:48 on the 6th of december, no idea why I have chosen to start now -just seems like as good a time as any. Lighting plays a big part in the appearance of muscle definition so I'll try and keep it constant. Hopefully, if my manage to get superb muscle definition during this 'journey' it will encourage you to believe that you can do it too (I'm assuming anyone who reads this blog is interested in my goal because they have a similiarily orientated goal, hence my 1st person dialog). I' m just an ordinary guy who wants to be able to take is shirt off on the beach and get some prolonged looks (preferably from girls, but a compassionate glance from guys is cool). I'll do an overview of each week and post a picture, although the difference between each picture is going to be minimal, its more just a motivational method for me. Now without babbling on any further here are my stats:

  • Age: 18 
  • BMI: 21.9 (within normal range so need to add some muscle before losing weight)
  • Height: 5'6" (but apparently still growing)
  • Weight 61kg (apologise for mix of imperial and metric systems)
  • Status: Tired...very tiredAdd Image

This is not a corparate challenge for money, excursions, fame, or a lifetime supply of whey protein. After futile attempts to shed just a few pounds i have landed on perhaps what may be best idea yet (not really saying much). A blog where I can be judged,taunted (plz don't hold back)- ultimately bullied into shape. So here it goes my own final attempt at gaining those "washboard abs" everybody yearns for. 
This is my personal six pack challenge; the reward, confidence.
