Current Goals:

Squatting 225 pounds for 20 reps before VV08

Losing 2 inches in the belly during June

 

Dec 14, 2007

My road to 200 will be a little different than the others in the forums.

Most are trying to get their bodyweight over 200.

I'm trying to go the other way with my bodyweight, lose fat.

Not long ago I was well over 200 (I was obese)

 

My 200 pound goal is squats. 1 set of 20 reps.

I'm loosely following the workout from bodybuilding.com

My squat workouts will be every 3 days instead of M, W, F

 

Feb 27, 2008

After a very long break I'm back at it again.

 

April 26, 2008

I feel like I'm seeing good progress on my squats, so I'll continue to concentrate on that.

I will still be doing my treadmilling in my attempt to slim down.

I will also keep doing my regular lifting except for deadlifting.

After I get tired of squatting so much, I'll add deadlifting back in.

 

I still want to clean up my diet, so from now on I will be logging my food.

The last time I logged my food I ate much better.

Add another goal: Lose 2 inches of belly during the month of June.

I did so well last summer losing fat, about 4 inches in the waist.

Over the winter I put back on an inch.

I'm going to lose 2 inches this month.

I will measure it by my belt holes.

2 bananas then morning treadmill: 45 minutes

 

Vegetable fried rice, carrots, raisins, and more bananas throughout the day

 

2 bananas then evening squats: a couple warmup sets, then 105 x 20

This was pretty easy, I'll try more reps and more weight next time.

 

1/2 liter rice milk, 2 bananas, 1 scoop vega

 

Lots of bananas today, not enough veggies.

We had yellow bananas for sale here so I bought about 15-20 of them.

I started that exercise a month ago. Next week is my last week on it. My five rep max at the beginning was at 150 (im a beginning squatter) so my first few squat days were really really easy.

 

Now that I only have 3 squat workout lefts, 140, 145, and 150 I am dying. Yesterday I am puked.

 

Fun times

That's alot of cardio .

 

What is your diet like?

 

Good luck with the weight loss.

 

I wish I had the drive to do more cardio.

In July and August I averaged 2.5 hours per day.

 

I try to be as raw as possible.

If it's cooked it is something like stir fry veggies or some rice.

I got the 20 rep idea from one of your posts.

I think that post got lost in the site crash.

I'm going to just keep going up 5 pounds every 3 days until I can't get 20 reps.

 

 

So far they've been easy, I can still do a few extra reps.

I'm going to try for 30 reps X 125 pounds tonight.

I'm doing these squats as deep as I can.
