Hey there
I am trying to win against the fun game of fat loss, and more
than once I have found it easier to just give up and pummel
the idiots picking on me, and more than once have I had some
momentarily delight in some busted lips/suspensions, but in
the end I have realized I must fix the problem. In 9 months I
have Army Basic training beginning, and shortly after I begin
my path for Ranger training, and in my current state, I
believe basic training would be damn near hell on earth. Don't
be decieved by what I am saying though, because my goal is not
to merely *pass* Boot camp/RIP ( ranger training ), but to
excel above my peers ( who have probably been in shape for
years ). As you can see my dilemma, I have 9 months to do it,
and even less time to bitch about it.
In 9th grade I was 5'5, and I was pushing 190 lbs with little
to no physical activity. I am now nearing the end of my 11th
grade and I am 5'7, 165 lbs. I wish that was some success, but
in reality there is almost no reason for me to have done it if
I am still fat in the end.
My current schedule
4:45 AM - Wake up, drink a glass of water, take one fish oil
cap and 2 Green Tea Fat Burner pilld by Applied Nutrition.
5:15 - Arrive at the gym
In the next hour I usually do cardio work...
Run 1 mile at usually 8:30 or so average, followed by some
stretching of my legs.
Afterwards I usually walk for the next 45 minutes at a steady
pace of 4.0 Mph , which for a short person is absolute hell,
but it needs to be done.
I usually leave the gym at 6:15 and my school day begins
Lunch = 11:45 and I will have a water and probably an apple.
I am at the gym every day after school too at 3:15 and stay
until 4:30.
My routine then is divided in 3 sets of 10 or 2 sets of 15 for
all of them. Sorry in advance for my lack of gym termonology,
but I'll describe them to the best of my ability...
1 mile run warm up
Tricep push- sitting down and pushing on the bars to the left
and right of me ( 170 lbs )
Ab machine - Sit down and push down/forward towards your knees
with both of your arms on the handle bar - 130 lbs
Leg press - 180 lbs
Leg machine - works out your thighs, I sit and push the bar up
with both of my legs in sitting position
Hammer press - 125 lbs
Chest machine - sitting down I push forward on two handles to
my L/R - 150 lbs
Pull up machine - I stand still and pull down the bar with the
tops of my wrists facing towards me , but because of gravity
it is a bit difficult to push it past 120 lbs before I start
pulling off of the ground too.
Bench weights - 5 sets of 10 with 35 lbs, and 5 sets of 10
with 20 lbs for my forearms.
chest machine - Pull up a rope and pull the item up to be
equal with your face -- 100 lbs
After reading that, I hope you have a grasp on what I am(not)
doing right(wrong?) . If you need anymore information let me
know.
Btw dinner is a bit rough to disclose because it is out of my
hands... though if you guys say it is better for consistency,
I can always eat a tuna sandwhich ( or suck it up and just eat
the can )...
On a daily basis I drink a lot of water, usually 5 16.9 fl oz
a day ( 84.5 ). The main problem I get though is hunger,
because I always like to nibble on something... I guess I just
need to put on some self control, but I am also pretty sure
I'm doing something wrong in my workout.
This is me without flexing
