Six Weeks On . . . . .

So, six weeks has passed (not since I wrote the post but you know what I mean) and the routine has just been changed for the first time.

There is a noticable difference in physique and my body fat percentage has dropped from 35% to 28% (not as much as i'd like but I now weigh 9 stone and my muscle mass has greatly increased so an all round great start.

I'm shattered, I wont lie, this is hard work and im quite literally happy to try anything to aid in feeling better, stronger, and seeing great results (except steroids . . . bleurghhhh)

Im currently using Reflex Instant Whey (chocolate - great for going in porridge, and chocolate mint) and i've tried thermogenic tablets to aid with the fat burning.

My routine is six days a week (Monday-Saturday) which is two cycles of three day routine. This routine includes thirty minutes cardio (much to my trainers despair) and the following supersets:

Legs
back squat                                      4x8                                  25kg
bb lunges                                       4x15                                15kg
straight leg deadlift                       4x8                                   20kg
kettlebell swings                           4x15                                 8kg
adductor                                        3x8                                   40kg
abductor                                        3x8                                  40kg
leg press                                        12, 10, 8                          40/50/60

Shoulders & Arms
db shoulder press                           4x8                                  6kg
db rear-delt flyes                           4x12                                4kg
standing curls                                3x8                                  20kg
incline hammer curls                     3x12                                6kg
overhead db extension                   3x8                                  12kg
tricep kickbacks                             3x12                                5kg
standing shoulder press                 12, 10, 8                          10kg (front, back front)

Chest & Back
lateral pulldown                            4x8
reverse grip pulldown                   4x12
bench press                                   4x8
incline db press                             4x12
bb bent over row                           3x8
db pec flyes                                   3x8
vertical traxion                              12, 10, 8

As you can see, with me only being two days into the new routine, the weights haven't been entered in on the chest and back day, this is yet to come (deep joy!!)

These supersets are set to make me feel the burn (although small weight I can assure you its effective) and to help with the fat burning.

My diet has greatly changed since starting this journey and I feel that the fat shedding will be aided by an ECA stack which thanks to the power of Royal Mail will be with me soon and i'll keep you posted on the results.

The bikini picture is my favourite :-) I really feel like I can see the results and what i've worked so hard for.

So six weeks into the training routine and the change up has really yielded results and I couldnt be happier (well, i'd be ecstatic if my six pack was on show but time is of the essence!!)

So for now, my weary self is off to rest

Big Weighted Hugs,
