Well, I am in the final stretch of my first attempt at a "slim down" diet, Week #8. It seems like it has been longer, but that is just the lack of food talking. 7 weeks of salads about 6 days a week SUCKS! At first it wasn't bad...now it taste like grass with vinegar on it. Not so much! But I have been seeing results, and that is what it is all about. As of today after the gym, I was 232 (from 242) so I am doing pretty good. Never really set a weight goal, more of a BF % goal. I will test that next week. Definition coming in pretty nicely. I think my legs/calfs and shoulders might be the most improved, but we will see when I take my progress pics. The camera dont like!
Today (Monday) the GSC did a chest workout. For some reason we were all a little off starting out(maybe the time change of workout, the 18 holes of crappy golf I played right before, or maybe it was just one of those days). Bench didnt go as planned, but after that we all picked it up on the Incline DB bench press (3 sets of 12 with 80 lbs/90 lbs/90 lbs), Incline Flys (3 sets of 12 with 60 lbs), Decline Hammer Press (3 sets 12 with 3 plates/3 plates + 25lbs/3 plates +25 lbs for 10 reps with an added drop set of 3 plates for 6 reps). We ended our workout with what we like to call 7's. Its a workout technique I pulled from IFBB pro bodybuilder Phil Heath. Basically you choose a weight you would normally do for 3-4 sets of 10-12 reps, but here we do that weight for 7 sets and rest only 30 seconds inbetween. It is a beast, but works.
Today we have legs. Didnt get as good of a leg workout as I usually do last week, so got to pick it up a notch today. We will see if these mere mortals City of Swolleton and Pursuit of Swollness can keep up with out crying like 2 school girls. But we shall see. :-)
