Hi, all
I will be getting married August 2006,and would like to adjust my
routine to
lose the slight belly and love handles I have aquired over the last two
years
of bulk training.
Now I know cutting is discussed quite a lot on this group and I would
like to
change my diet along with the routine to reps to reach my goal of a
lower bodyfat %
by August.
I am 5ft11in male weighing just under 13 stone, Prior to training I was
always
11st 9, So I have put on quite a bit for my small to medium build. I
have not
measured my bodyfat, looking at the feature on bodyfat % a while back,
I reckon
I'm around 18% (37inch waist).
My diet is quite varied, I eat a lot of pasta for energy. and
supplement with a protein
shake.
I know cutting diets can be quite complex, but a particular diet caught
my eye,
which was the slimming world red diet, which consists of a high protein
diet.
would that be a good diet to follow, plus what should I change in my
workouts.
(A rep range of 9 - 15?)
I have posted my routine below.
Mainly strength training(my workouts are based on achieving 4 sets of 8
reps(32) successfully before moving up on weight.
Tuesday
5 Sets of Flat benching(1 Warmup on 60Kg 4 on 80KG to Failier)
4 Sets of incline benching(60Kg)
Thursday
5 Sets of Deadlifts(1 80 Kg warmup and 4 120KG at the mo)
(Alternating every month with squats 5 Sets at 110KG)
Saturday
5 sets of Upright rows(1 20kg warmup and 4 on 35Kg )
4 Sets of French press 40KG
4 Sets of dumbell tricep extensions on each arm (12.5kg)
4 Sets of Twisted Bicep Curls(12.5kg each arm)
4 Sets of Straight Arm Bicep curls(35KG)
all the working out is done at home, I have an olympic bench, barbell
and weights, plus dumbbells and olypic curl bar. so no resistence
machines
as such, although I can put the barbell up between two beams in the
ceiling to
do lat pull ups.
Thanks for reading
Austin
