I'm having to workout at 6.30am at the mo, and the past 2 weeks have been low carb... I could barely walk afterwards! I like it! Struggled with the Leg Press Matrix, I wasn't sure how far each one should be so I just did normal leg press. Wasn't quite sure what on off block calves were so just did normal calf work. It made a nice change. Trying the push workout tomorrow in full  |

Posts: 2,650 Rep Power: | Re: My First Post - Go Easy ;-) My Sida arrived this morning, I bought a Sida Complex which basically is a natural ECA stack and contains: Guarana 750 mg (22% Caffiene) Sida Cordifolia 125 mg (10% Alkaloids) White Willow Extract 100 mg (20% Salicin) Having read the back when they arrived I thought I'd bought some pants weak ones. So I took 4 before breakfast. I'm still buzzing. Going off for my chest session shortly - I'll let you know how I get on as the day goes by. |

(Weight shown is per DB) Flat DB Flies WarmUp: 15 @ 12kg 2x 15 @ 16kg Incline DB Bench Warm Up: 10 @ 16kg 15 @ 20kg 5 @ 20kg, 5 @ 16kg, 5 @ 16kg Okay - I've never done Pre-Exhaust work before but either I was working out too intensely or well I dunno what but that last set was an absolute killa. I mean I got down to 30% of my 1RM!! Chest felt worked but my ego felt bruised. Honestly I was hoping no one would see me struggling to Incline DB Press 16kg dumbells... Side DB Laterals Warm Up: 15 @ 8kg 2 x 15 @ 12kg Side DB Raise Off Bench (Aka Lying DB Delt Flys) 1 x 15 @ 4kg 1 x 15 @ 6kg 2 x 10 @ 6kg 2 x 5 @ 6kg Yes I was that mullered... I had to use the girly silver weights... Tricep Pushdowns Matrix 2 x 15 Full, 5,5,5 @ 35kg Clean And Press 5 @ 25kg (Barbell) Could have done more but I'm too tall so I couldn't get to full lockout (low ceilings...) Chest Press (Machine) 8 @ 56kg I am completely shocked as to how much that made me work - my shoulders have never had such a good workout, chest feels pumped and worked and tri's just feel huge! But I don't know if I like the chest routine - I will however stick with it |

Do some cardio as well, just something low intensity to keep the fat coming off and I think you'll be surprised. I showed one of the guys who I work with pre exhaust as he hadn't changed in years of training and got him eating clean and he's chuffed to bits with the improvements. Where he trains in Leeds some of the guys were taking the p1ss about girlie weights - they must be impressed because now they are trying it too. the trick is to keep stimulating growth by trying new methods, can always drop heavy compound work in now and again. |

Posts: 2,650 Rep Power: | Re: My First Post - Go Easy ;-) Well had my 'final' weigh in this morning... 108kg So thats a weight drop of 7.5kg over 2 weeks, of which I estimate 8lbs is fat with the vast majority of the rest of the weight being water. Took a photo on the mobile this morning which I'll try and load up (broke my digi cam doh!) when I find my Bluetooth dongle. I was quite surprised as to how good it looked on camera - I never think cameras capture the true representation (i.e. I always 'feel' I look bigger in the flesh than I do on camera) Stomach is looking much flatter so I'm a happy bunny If anyone is interested I'll knock up a quick article just about my experiences of two weeks worth of PSMF, hurdles encountered, pros and cons etc - i'm not advocating the use of them but i found it a useful two weeks - the real test is how my body adapts over the next few weeks though which will be interesting. We obviously don't want any yo-yo effects. As it stands I estimate my body fat to be around 16%, as I am still carb depleated my BF% will drop marginally as I put some water on (Due to Bodyfat mass staying the same, but a weight increase due to water retention from increased glycogen storage) |
