Hi
Guys,
The
prequel to the month….
As the
program continues, my body adapts (and I don’t want that). Time for a
change... 500 calories per cardio is becoming a lot more manageable now,
I’ve been combining regular cardio with HIIT, to break the pain barrier,
and push my limits even further, before returning exclusively to HIIT this
week. I will be trying new forms of HIIT, so that I can vary my workouts
even more now. This will include rowing and an arm cycle that they have
brought into my gym (which isn’t particularly hi-tech).
My chest is becoming increasingly firmer and more defined. Again, I feel a
lot of fat off my back, which used to literally jiggle when doing stairs
etc. Before I started going to the gym, I felt conscious about how I’d
look amongst a group of lean strangers and I was worried that I wouldn’t
‘do it right’ or ‘do enough’. It’s a difficult state of mind to be
in, and I sympathise with anyone (with any body type) reading this, thinking
the same thing.
So what do you do? Go to the gym! You’ll see that you’re not alone, and
that many people there are far from perfection. Personally, I looked long
and hard in the mirror, before sitting down, pinching my fat, and thinking
‘so what if I feel or look out of place? I’m here to do something about
it’. In just the four short weeks I have been training, I have been
approached by body builders (who also come to the gym very early because
this is reality, and we all have jobs and/or family) asking me what
drugs/supplements/diet I’ve been following to get this lean this quick.
And that’s when I tell them, that sometimes it feels like I’m crawling
here and I, like everyone else on sixpacknow.com DO NOT use any form of
drugs.
I’ll be starting a new program as of week 5, to stop my body from
adapting. This will not only incorporate different workouts, but more
intense supersets and coming at the same muscle groups harder and
incorporating a HIIT workout with weightlifting too. An example would be a
superset of 20 rep squats finishing with a military press, To get a great
calorie burner as well as a weighted workout at once.
Many of you will think that I have a relatively easy day to maintain the Sixpacknow
regime, but that’s not true. Sixpacknow.com is designed for today’s
people, who need to work and maintain running social and family lives. I
think what many people perceive (including myself 2 months ago) that people
go to the gym when they wake up and stay there pumping iron and sipping
protein shakes for 13 hours. WRONG. If you’re working out properly
(targeting a specific muscle group) a workout should not take more than 1
– 1.5 hours. Protein supplements (or even better, small home cooked meals)
can be eaten anywhere if you’re willing to spend a short while an evening
putting some dinner in a Tupperware, then pop it in the fridge.
As of next week onwards, I’m going to give my post in a slightly different
format, having different sections, let me know if you prefer it that way or
not. I’ll try and include something nice (healthy) and high in vitamins
and protein too…
