I had this brilliant idea for the log title on the plane. Sadly, I get some of my best fitness related thinking done on airplanes. The idea to do Scrawny to Brawny came while in the air, as did this new program.

I am going to be using the programs from "The New Rules of Lifting."

Obviously, as you can see, this log will be focusing on getting lean. I have never seen my abs in my 20 year lifetime, and I plan to see them by this summer, pool job or no pool job.

I am planning on doing the Midwest Meltdown Triathlon again this summer, so my goals for the triathlon will coincide with my quest for abs.

I plan on doing two weeks of the break in program found in NR, and then onto Fat Loss One. I haven't yet looked at how many weeks I have until the end of May, but depending on my timeframe and my progress, I will choose my next workouts.

Tuesday, January 3

HIIT
5 minute warmup @ 3.5
3 rounds- 60 seconds at 10, 120 seconds at 7
5 minute cooldown
19 minutes total.

This is the "afterburn" style advocated in the book, and I will be following the progression in the book along with the workout programs.

Looking forward to harassing you further in the new log.

Good luck - the abs aren't far away, m'boy!

They're getting further and further with every Special K bar.

But the hottie at the gym is keeping me motivated. Seriously.

Break In Workout A

Squats
2x15 @ 165
High Rep Squats = Pain for those that have never done them

Superset
Elbow Out Bent Over DB Row
2x15 @ 55

Static Lunge
2x15 @ 20 (EH)

Superset 2
Pushups
2x15

Swiss Ball Crunch
2x20 @ +10

Worked up a nice sweat, and it only took 20 minutes, yet it was brutal. I can't wait for the actual workouts.

Best of luck, ninja.

By the way, though it is slightly vain to go for the sixer, losing a lifetime's worth of fat is a damn legitmate goal.

Not to mention if there's something out there that you've always wanted, never had, and is within your power to get... go for it!!!

Are we still talking about gym girls? Sorry, I confuse easily. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Good luck with the program, Nick. I'm interested to see how this book stacks up against other routines. We'll see how your progress is going at the "summit".

Nathan- When the idea popped into my head, I immediately thought I was a genius, and spent the rest of the trip praying that no one had taken my play on words.

Rob- Yep, treadmill. I probably need to start doing some on the bike as well because that is what killed me in the triathlon. I want to be able to find that happy bike/running balance. I think I can focus my swimming in the summer.

Thanks guys for the support. It helps to know that I am being held accountable. I know that it does seem a little vain, and I do agree Rock, that I will be a much healthier person if I can strip of this layer. And Greg, only ONE line was mentioned about the girl. I swear, all the younguns these days think about sex. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I know Mahler is doing the break in as well, and I am interested to see what schedule he is going to follow.

Friday January 6

Deadlifts
2x15 @ 185
Talk about a shock, I haven't ever done this many reps. Got good leg drive and made sure to set the bar down between every rep.

Superset 1
Step Ups
2x15 @ 25 (EH)
Should have gone a little heavier
One Arm DB Shoulder Press
2x15 @ 30
This was about right

Superset 2
Close Grip Lat Pulldown
2x15 @ 120
130 next time
Reverse Crunches
2x15
Should have been 2x20; gives me something to shoot for next week.

So far I like these workouts. Really short (20 minutes) and are pretty intense. More HIIT tomorrow.

Given Nick's state FlyinM, I don't think the horse is looking forward to the extra load! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

(how's that for 'stick' motivation N? [img]smile.gif[/img] )

Good to see you back TG. We missed you.

Thank you for your kindness Rob. Upon further review I now realize that I should watch my wording. Your show of restraint is admirable.
