Took a couple days off. Now that I've got my body back into the rhythm it's time to start a pro's routine. I was looking at this month's MH and saw Bill Hartman's article on Banishing Fat For Good. I'm going to try this. It's a six week program and I'm anxious to give it a go.
He suggest a routine with two workouts (A,B) and HIIT training on off weight days. I'll rotate which weight routine gets done twice a week as proscribed. My lifting week will start on Saturday and end on Thursday due to my schedule.
I'll follow his eating suggestions as well. During the day he suggests an apple and some cheese for mid-morning snack, a lunch around 400-500 cals. which for me will be an ounce of mixed nuts, a whole wheat pita wrapped around turkey with romaine lettuce and tomato and brown mustard, and finally a sugar free jello for the sweet tooth. PM snack will be a pint of skim milk. He doesn't suggest breakfast or dinner so I'm on my own. Breakfast will be 3 turkey sausages, 3 hard boiled eggs and a small handful of blueberries. Dinner will be a lean meat of some sort (turkey, beef, chicken, etc.) with two servings of veggies and maybe another sugar free jello if I feel the need. I'll also try to get back to a gallon of water a day.
So here goes.
W1 D1
Chins 5x5 - 120 sec rest between sets. BW+10 first set, +20 for remaining sets. The program calls for these sets to be done back to back then moving on to the other exercise in a circuit routine 3x8 60 sec rest period:
db step up - 25's all sets
db squat to press - 25's first set, then 35's for remaining
db rows - 25's first set, then 65's remaining
Followed up by 10 mins stretching/cooldown
Notes:
Since this is the first day of this routine I'm testing myself out with the weight to use as you can tell by my jumping around weight-wise. As I get further into it I'll even myself out.
I've got a PM into Bill to ask him some clarifying questions about the routine.
