Old guy making a comeback...

**tbody66** · 12-26-2011, 06:53 PM

Okay, stem, when are we starting this?

**Back In Black** · 12-27-2011, 03:42 PM

Whenever you want starting up dude.

I've missed the last 4 weeks out the gym and off my diet due to some joint and bone aching b1tch of a virus. SO I'm having a month to get back on track before I even consider risking one of your workouts!

However, let's get you going. All I need is your current stats, goals and times of day you lift. And how many meals you prefer to eat per day.

**tbody66** · 12-27-2011, 05:40 PM

I have some traveling to do friday, so gearing up to be all in starting next monday would be good for me. Also I'll post some pics and most up to date info soon.

5' 6", 189lbs, 18%bf, 45 years old

5:30am fasted cardio

lift m-f 5 days a week at 1:30pm

**tbody66** · 12-27-2011, 07:59 PM

Okay, just finished at the gym. Decent workout, hit back/chest then tris/bis, good pump from the quick workout of supersets. Weigh in and bf scales....drum roll......

188.2lbs 20.5% bf.

I don't care if I eat once a day or eight times a day. I like simple and repetitive. I prefer fish as my protein source and tabouli or rice as my carb, but will do whatever you decide.

I also lift on saturday mornings, superset arms by themselves.

I'm flexible on my goal, anywhere from 13.89 - 13.91% bf by Feb 27th @ between 5:59 - 6:01 am.
This should give you enough wiggle room not to have to be completely dialed in.

**tbody66** · 12-28-2011, 04:18 PM

Workout was leg day, but since I had to do chest and back yesterday and missed alot of workouts last week, my back was sore so I didn't squat. Supersetted leg extensions/leg curls/toe presses, four progressive sets, no rest in between, a 20 minute workout and my legs were swole up and on fire!

**gbrice75** · 12-28-2011, 08:17 PM

**--->>405<<---** · 12-31-2011, 07:30 AM

when is that btw?

**tbody66** · 12-31-2011, 09:37 AM

Well, Monday I suppose, hoping stem gets me that diet soon so I can begin planning and cooking. Had to drive all day yesterday and family stopping by tomorrow and our gym is closed Monday, so kicking everything off serious on Tuesday.

Heading to the gym now for back and arms!

**SlimmerMe** · 12-31-2011, 10:49 AM

happy new year to you tbody!

**tbody66** · 12-31-2011, 05:31 PM

Thanks, Slim, you too!

Since I missed the gym yesterday and so did my wife, we did chest/back/triceps/biceps today

Good workout and pump, hoping to carb load for pic so I look full and pumped. Waiting for that diet from stem, but I'll come up with something if he doesn't make it on time! I'm working on his workout plan so he better be ready!!!

Bible Study is our big plans to ring in the New Year, hope you all are doing what you want with the people you want to be doing it with!

**tbody66** · 01-01-2012, 04:10 PM

Now where's stem with that diet???

**Back In Black** · 01-02-2012, 12:12 PM

Happy new year, man.

Sorry mate, things have been a bit crazy over the last 2 weeks.

You wanna hit 13% or 10% bf?

Assume you wanna be stronger too?

Your day could be 5.30 fasted cardio 6.30 meal 1, 9am meal 2, 12am meal3, 1 30 train, 3pm PWO, 4 30pm meal 5, 8pm meal 6.

What time do you head off to bed? It'll give me a better idea of how to roughly time your meals.

**tbody66** · 01-02-2012, 03:20 PM

Goal set for March 2nd, 2012, 13%bf, while maintaining current lbm. The above schedule works for me bed time is 10-10:30.

Are you starting a thread for your training as well? I need some info to write you that workout!

**SlimmerMe** · 01-02-2012, 09:52 PM

We have a date. March 2nd it is~ GOOD LUCK!
