So we’re getting close to the end of Part 1 of the training. And Part 2 is hopefully going to start with a BANG. At least I hope.
There are some changes that need to be made – nutrition, goals and training plans.
First up – training plans. I’ve decided that I want (and am able) to start training on Nate Green’s Built For Show workout. I’ll start with the fall workout, as it seems I have almost all the equipment available to do it. It’ll also see me through to Christmas / New Year nicely.
Nutrition wise – there’s not a whole big difference to what I’m doing right now… apart from the following: add creatine and dextrose to my post-workout protein shake. Replace the meal replacement shake with a turkey / chicken sandwich. More real food going into the body – is a good thing. Otherwise maintain everything I’ve got going on right now. I’m happy with the lay of the land there. We’ll see if it’s too much food… or whether I’ll need to change elements. But for now, that’s where I’ll start!
Goal wise – in my previous post I’ve made it quite clear what my dominant goal is: 15% bodyfat – or the stretch goal of 12% bodyfat. In either case, I want to now move into the range of 12-15% bodyfat. That’s a big 10-13% off what I’m on now – that’s HALF of all my bodyfat that I’m trying to lose. That’s a biggee.
With this bodyfat goal in tow, it translates to me having a weight of 175lbs – or 170lbs. I’m starting to think that my ideal goal is around 180lbs. To see what that looks like – you’ve got workhard2121 from bodybuilding.com… great guy, and I think around 180lbs.
When it comes to losing fat, 1% of bodyfat = just under 2lbs of fat. If I have about 3 months to do it, that’s ~ 12 weeks. That’s 2lbs of fat a week! Wow. That’s hefty. Boy. Let’s get going – this trek’s gonna count too… all that walking, hiking, everything. AWESOME!!!!
