Start of new fitness regime:D

[Koing]

Yeah today is the start of my new fitness regime.

I have been really slack with myself. I haven't trained in 6 weeks as I've had to cut out training and study for my exams. I got 3 left so more time to train and the timing is better. My eating habit did turn to crap. I had an almost perfect eating habit for the past up until I had to stop training due to study. I'd eat only good food. Nice meals a day, lots of fruit and vegetables and only drink water. No junk food or crisps etc. It was only when I wasn't in training that I started to eat all this crap.

Now I am back on track.

My work out:

Monday Gymnastics 8:30-11
Tuesday Free
Wednesday Weight Lifting 6:30-9
Thursday Gymnastics 8:30-11
Friday Free
Saturday Weight Lifting 2:00-5
Sunday Gymnastcs 7:00-10

And Monday to Saturday I'm going to do sprints in the morning. 20m sprint walk back and repeat for 10 reps then take 60 seconds rest at the end of each set and repeat for 3 sets.

I did the sprinting part today and DAM its hard. I did one set today to build myself up. Will build to 10 reps and 3 sets in about a week.

Already the running was good. It made my abbs look more cut. Can't wait to see what I'll be doing in Gymnatics in about 2 months time and see what type of totals I'll get in Weight Lifting. The running is really going to help me cut. I'm 5"10 and 170lbs and about 10% body fat. Can't imagine to be much more then that as I'm pretty ripped and not much fat on me. 6 pack is there but I want to be really ripped to see 8

Koing = Bring on the summer!

Hmm That regime looks kind of tough I'll stick to my Beer and Cheeze Puff regime.

I do Weights. More specifically I train to Olympic Lift.

I use to run for 5 miles in the morning with my friend. But this year I told my coach what I use to do and he advised me to do this instead. So I am.

And yes it is going to be tough. Its going to take me about 3-4 weeks to get my body back use to the amount of training I do. I've not trained for 6 weeks as I took a break and studied a lot.

Damn, I need to start working out too, only I have 2 weeks left of school + exams, so its a tough time.

 

[oLLie]

Lol you said "crisps" I bet you meant crackers. Didn't you say you were from England?

 

[bandXtrb]

How do you manage to work out that long? I can't stand being in the gym more than an hour.

Oh and especially in the morning too :disgust:

I am enjoying a slacking off period before I go all out again.

I can work out for so long as I have a set routine that changes everytime I complete it. I belong to a Weight Lifting club. I compete in competitions so that keeps me motivated and I see results fast. Also the atmosphere of the club is good; I know everyone and everyone is friendly. Also my routine takes that long to finish so I just finish what is given to me by my coach.

I don't work out in the mornings I run. I do sprints with a friend so that is a big bonus. He comes around my place as I am ONE HELLA lazy beotch in the mornings. Then we go running on the school grass track.

Nope I did not mean crackers and yes I live in England. I meant *crisps* the potatoe things in packets. You call them *chips* right?

I've been lazy for a couple of years now and it would be fun to get in shape again, just out of curiosity, whats your weight and how much do you benchpress?

I weigh 77.25kg at last competition but my weight goes to 81kg at night when I have water and a lot of food in me. I compete in the Under 77kg category for Olympic Lifting as I just don't drink so much water in the morning or eat food before I ge weighed in. I can't bench press hardly anything. I can do 80kg strictly though using competitioin rules. I don't train to bench press; only do close grip bench presses on 62.5kg 8 reps x 4 sets to make my tri ceps stronger for the jerk part.

I can Snatch 85kg
Clean and Jerk 102.5kg, but I should be going for about 105kg+. Just a problem in the jerk part and not using the force in my legs to translate in to a good lift will sort it out though.

I squat 140kg max to well below parallel.

you do realise that benchpress isn't an Olympic lift right? Its only "Clean and Jerk" and "Snatch"

Good scores! Yes i know that benchpress is not included in the Olympic lift.

The toughest part for me (atleast in the beginning) will be staying away from the junkfood.

But as the old saying goes: No Pain No Gain.

 

[Maggotry]

Weight lifting for 3 hours? I'll be most of that time is social and not lifting. I've lifted for years. I rarely lift more than an hour, but it's almost all lifting. No more than 1 minute between sets.

Thanks baretta I hope to quality for the British U21 Championships this year. Need a total of 210kg. My best total is 187.5kg. Should get to qualify and compete in it even though I'm 18. I can't compete in U18 as I was born 4 days before the New Year

What totals did you get?

The lifting for 3 hrs is only on a Saturday. Thats when I get more time to relax and take it easier then on a weekday. During the weekday I have 2hrs 30 mins. Includes warm up btw. I only take 60 seconds between each set during the strengthening exercises. The actual lifting you can take longer as it takes a few minutes for your atp to recover and they are in sets of 2+ reps for clean and jerk and 3+ for Snatch. No way you would be able to do this with one minutes rest. You got to take a few minutes to recover. Your pushingi 85% at peak and repping that for 2 reps for Clean and Jerk. No way can you recover witih one minute and complete for 3 sets.

I have this to do in 2hrs 30 mins

warm up
Clean and Jerk 2 reps x 4 sets (changes depending on day and schedule)
Power Jerks 3 reps x 6 sets
Back Squat (follows routine)
Close grip Bench press (8 reps x 4 sets)
Clean pulls (3 reps x 6 sets)
Incline sit up with twist (6 reps x 5 sets)

That is for Day A. Day B will be slightly different as it will be for the Snatch.

I can assure you you will not be finishing this off in one hour with warm up and the number of reps and sets. You were probably more advanced then I was so you would focus less on technique and more on strength.

BTW you are doing *Olympic Lifting* right and not just lifting?
