    Well good evening all, this was bound to happen sooner than later.. im getting closer to a stage where i need assistance from others to loose the weight/ build the muscle. so with out further a do :D


    Age 27
    height 5' 10"
    weight 89 Kg currently any way

    Ok, thats not a bad start, lets move on to food

    Breakfast 9:30 am
    Fruit scone with a little thingy of Low Low butter
    1 green apple
    1 cup/ mug of low fat milk

    Brunch ? 11am
    Protein shake

    Lunch 1:30
    Usually includes the following,
    One Plain wrap, contains, mayo,mixed peppers, sun dried Tomatoes, and Hot chicken, the kind that got like bread flakes on the out side.
    1 green apple

    Snack 3pm
    Protein Shake

    Dinner 6:30pm ( if im not in the Gym, other wise it's 8 pm )
    4 slices of brown Brennan's wholemeal bread, mayo and tin of tuna steak.

    Snack/if im hungry 9pm
    Bowl of fruit an fiber, low fat milk, or a banana.

    Pre sleep10pm
    Protein shake with milk as a mixer


    That was a lot of typing so far.... any way on we go

    Roysh, so basically gym wise it's min of three times a week and max of four times, just to let the body recover, although if i though i could make it five times a week i would.

    The average workout is as follows.

    Warm up on the bike.
    Quick start Level 14 increasing to Level 16 every 2/3 minutes, topping out at level 17, but I'm always aiming for Lvl 18. this is a total of 10 mins

    Treadmill
    Run is 3Km at 12Km\H, usually have to take a break once if not twice for a drink and to try and get rid of a recurring stitch.

    Abs
    Sit ups with a 4Kg ball, 2x20 standard
    2x20 on the left oblique
    2x20 on the right oblique
    1x20 standard.

    Back extensions
    2x20

    Off to the weights we go

    Seated Row - 2x20 @ 45 Kgs

    Chest Press - 2x20 @45 Kgs

    Seated Leg curl - 2x20 @45kgs

    Seated Leg Press - 2x20 @ 75Kgs

    Shoulder Press - 1x10, 1x5. 1x10,1x5 @ 45Kgs

    well thats is folks it's run off then for a quick stretch to finish, and sum Protein and it's time for home.


    I'm pretty sure the bread each day is not helping my so feel free to tear lumps out of me.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,417 ✭✭✭Dr4gul4


    Bahh, not had a good day today, was working untill after 7:00, so got home late, had a can of coke and a mini aero after 6 also, mainly as i was baby eating hungry.
    got home had the usual tuna sandwiches.

    Wanted to hit the gym 2 nite, and have a break 2 morrow nite, looks like it gonna be the opposite now, Gym 2 morrow nite instead.

    I think you are running too fast if you have to stop and are getting stitches and back pain. Try the 3km at 10kmph for the first 2km, and then up it by 0.2kmph for each further 200 metres up until 3km.

    Do that for approx 3 weeks and you will be able to handle the higher speed which is currently causing you probs.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,417 ✭✭✭Dr4gul4


    Thanks for the advice, i'll give it a go, Running @ 12Kph is pretty comfy though, and im 3 weeks into this running, i'll take it back alittle tonight and concentrate on more weights, or perhaps hevier weights


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,417 ✭✭✭Dr4gul4


    Roysh, back home...savage session tonight.


    Food

  • Registered Users Posts: 11,987 ✭✭✭✭zAbbo


    Well Dave, good to see you've ventured into weight training and took my advise on the Protein.

    Like BossArky says, try running at 10kph, but at an incline, even 0.5 / 1

    Be careful to allow recovery periods for each of the muscle groups you're working out.

    Keep at it tubby.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,417 ✭✭✭Dr4gul4


    Thanks dude :)

    Today is a rest day, bar work of course.

    Gonna hit it pretty hard 2 morrow nite, as im working late wednesday nite and then away thursday and friday, so saturday will be the nxt day in the gym. so only 3 days this week.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,608 ✭✭✭JayRoc


    Just wondering, mate, if there's a specific reason you're doing all your cardio before your weights?

    Most people prefer it the other way around as cardio tends to impede on your performance on the weights but not so much the other way around...

    I gather that weight loss is your main goal (I think) but I still reckon you'd have a better and more effective workout if you fiddled with the running order a tad.:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,417 ✭✭✭Dr4gul4


    ehhh yer it's kinda half n half, at the moment im going for total weight loss, not really body building.

    To be honest i might split it up and do3 days of weights only and 2 days of cardio, but i'll see, jo ( from total fitness) has me doing this work out for the moment i have another 2 weeks of it to see how much more i can lift / run.

    I know most of the guys here who body build do mostly weights and then a small bit of cardio.

    any advice over all ??


    maybe less reps and heavier weights


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,417 ✭✭✭Dr4gul4


    Good evening all.

    here we go again :D

    hey just as a matter of interest does your gym have a free weights section as your routine seems to be based on machines. The reason I ask is that you will probably see much better results from free weights as compared to machines.

    Also you seem to have done 2 days training in a row where you do the same weights routine, it may be a better option not to train the same body parts 2 days in a row so you have muscles have time to recover and grow

    Ha ha !! good call Jsb.


    I'm going to change my Routine around a lot over the nxt week or 2, kenny's in TF now also with me, so he'll keep and eye on me a bit more, and get me started on free weights me thinks.

    and then i'll try and mix it up so i do opposites on the muscles and a few days of cardio

    I'm sorry to hear that you have my condolences, but I suppose somebody has to train with kenny

    very true, but im man enough to keep him in his place.

    Also, i think it's about time i moved over to free weights, as i've made some pretty good advances on the machines, but i'd rather get more hardcore.

    Also still need to find a good dietition


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,234 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    Keep up the good work Dr4gul4, your commitment to this shines through in this journal. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,417 ✭✭✭Dr4gul4


    no worries, im just here to entertain and if possible look good @ all times, especially on the threadmill sweat poring from every where.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,417 ✭✭✭Dr4gul4


    so based on g'em crazy math ( it's not really crazy,math just hurts my head ).


    It turns out my calories per day that i can consume are 3592 ish

    so 15 % of this would be 3052.


    Of course my diet is mental. so i'm going to have to try and work out a new 1 to go along with the free weights. more on this soon

    also god damn i suc when it comes to knowing food :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,417 ✭✭✭Dr4gul4


    hmm i seeing different figures every where these days.

    So i spent most of today, reading a few articles on weight training, and nutrition. Pretty heavy going, especially as im a guy who has no interest in this food stuff, so i find it tough to stay focused.

    how and ever, im finally starting to get to grips with what i need to be doing, so a little more research tomorrow, and then i'll do a post on the main forum to see what ye all think of my new diet ( hopefully ) and weights training.


    In other related news, Went to the gym this evening, no sign of Kenny , im guessing he got lost on the way there.

    however, i did my rounds.

    4Km on the threadmill, averaging 11 Kph or 10.5 depending.

    Over to the weights


    did an average repetition twice,


    some thing like this

    SR - 1X20 @ 65 kgs
    SLR - 1x20 @ 55 Kgs
    SP - 1x14 @ 57.5 Kgs - 1x6 @ 57.5Kgs
    SLP - 1x25 @ 105 Kgs
    CP - 1x25 @ 57.5KGs
    SR - 1X20 @ 65 kgs
    SLR - 1x20 @ 55 Kgs
    SP - 1x10 @ 57.5 Kgs - 1x4 @ 57.5kgs - 1x6 @ 57.5kgs
    SLP - 1x25 @ 105 Kgs
    CP - 1x25 @ 57.5KGs


    i didnt write down what i was doing this time, in fact i was a bit all over the place, as when i was done i went for a quick sprint around the running track.
    and then went back and did some more chest press's .


    Any way with the new work out im hoping to make more advances, however dont think that i haven't make any yet, in the last 6 weeks i've noticed a huge difference in my biceps and triceps, my chest, even my stomach, and my legs. ( thats pretty much all over dave :rolleyes: ) well any way im just hoping with the new diet, and the weights i'll start to loose more weight and build more muscle. it just gets tougher the closer you get to loosing it all.

    not that im close of course.but im 4 stone in now, so go figure :)

    enough of this rambling.. who even reads this bar Jsb and sleepy


    Dave out

    Just a quick early update.

    gonna head up to the gym soon, as im still planning the new diet, and picking the food, i'll be doing a savage shop later on.


    for the moment the new work out looks some thing like this.

    Seated Leg Press
    Seated Leg Curl
    Standing Calf Raise
    Seated Row
    Cable upright row
    Chest Press or Decline Bench Press
    Barbell military press
    Dumbbell curl
    Barbell Lying Triceps Extension
    crunches of sum kinda - TBD



    thats quite a lot to so, so i'll be taking it easy today :)


    as usual im going to do this 3 times a week, with maybe a little work out on the 4th day, but i'll mainly keep that for a savage bit of cardio. we'll see how time goes.

    i've started keeping track on fitday.com also the link is in me sig.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,417 ✭✭✭Dr4gul4


    Right back again.

    And here's how i got on.

    Did a 3K run on the treadmill to start, between 10.5 and 11.5 Kph

    And then over to sum weights.

    Let me just say though, this is a random test of sorts, i really just wanted to see how far i could go on each set.


    Seated Row - 15@65Kgs
    Seated Leg Curl - 1x10@60kgs
    Dumbbell Curls - 15 left - 15 right. - 9Kg
    Standing Calf Raise - 20@45kgs
    Chest press - 15@72.5Kgs
    Cable upright row - 14@45Kgs
    Seated Leg Press - 20x120Kgs
    Barbell Military Press - 10@17.5Kgs
    Barbell Lying Triceps Extensions - 20@5Kgs

    Abs - I think i only did about 100 over all, but this was with a 2 Kg medicine ball, im tryn to get away from using a ball.

    Treadmill - 2K @ 11kph

    Decided to do some more weights again.

    Seated Row - 10@72.5
    Seated Leg Press - 15 @ 127.5 Kgs
    Shoulder Press - 8 @ 65 Kgs
    Chest Press - i know i did some thing here cant really remember what though.
    And i did some thing else also no idea what though.

    I finished off and grabbed 2 scoops of Protein, and then a banana.

    Over all my arms, feel a little sore @ the mo, my legs are grand, but they usually are.I'm going to try and work out another similar set for Monday now.

    It seems it's a good idea to have 3 different workout's based on the body parts.

    Now to pick out some food and get shopping.


    Ps. song for the day - Have You Ever Seen The Rain by Creedence Clearwater Revival
