Hey, all... Looking for some comments/suggestions regarding my 8 week plan. I'm a 26 year old male who has put on 60 lbs. (not the good kind) over the past 2 years following a back injury. I'm currently 5'10", 225 lbs. with a very high bf%. My injury kept me out of the gym for a couple of months, and I just never got back into the routine afterwards. Diet started going down hill, weight started increasing leading to depression which in turn lead to binge eating/inactivity... Just a dark, vicious cycle which has led me to my current disgusting physique. I've recently begun working out again (circuit training 3x per week, cleaned diet up significantly) but haven't experienced much fat loss yet.
The last straw came the other day when I had to go get a new driver's license. My old picture was taken about 3 years ago, when I was 165 lbs. and much more physically fit. After taking the new picture, the woman at the counter laid down the new license next to my old license, and gave me the wake up call I needed.
Anyway the links at the end of this post contain excel files I've created which contain basically everything I will need to keep track of or know during my 8 week cycle (all research chems, supplements, diet, workout routines, etc.). I'm hoping it is pretty apparent that I've done my h.w., because I have. Feel free to use this to help prepare for your own T3/Clen cycle.
I have just a few quick questions:
1) My diet is based on my current TOTAL weight (1.5g protein x 225 lbs.). Is this correct, or should I be using my lean body mass for macro calcs?
2) I'll be doing 45-60 min. cardio upon waking on empty stomach, 6 days per week, along with weight training in the evenings 6 days per week. Should my weight training consist of fast-paced circuit training in order to burn more cals, or should I stick with the routine I've laid out (see links) in order to build more fat-burning muscle?
3) Are there any other supplements/diet changes that any of you would suggest?
Please don't flame and/or preach to me about jump-starting my new lifestyle with clen/T3. I've read enough posts to know that I honestly should be trying to follow this workout/diet without the use of a "crutch", however I know myself better than anyone else (obviously), and I know that the addition of the clen/T3 is going to make me that much more motivated, dedicated and less likely to cheat on the diet side or skip out on workouts. I know that once these 8 weeks are over, the results are going to be enough to incite a permanent lifestyle change.
When critiquing my 8 week plan, please keep in mind that my goal is to shed as much fat as possible at this point. I understand that muscle will be lost due to T3 use without an anabolic, but that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make at this point. Muscle mass will be addressed after the fat is shed.
Here are the links, please critique away:
Clen/T3, Supplements, Diet Schedule
Workout - Mon, Thur (Chest, Shoulders, Abs)
Workout - Tues, Fri (Back, Arms, Abs)
Workout - Wed, Sat (Legs, Traps, Abs)
Thanks in advance for any help!!
