michaelhobson Posted November 11, 2005 Author Share Posted November 11, 2005 Friday, November 11 I found my form a little better on squats today. Also felt more flexible than I have in a while. Managed to get all of my reps to parallel, except for the last at 315 pounds which was very close but not there. Chin Ups - 5x3xbodyweight - Between squat sets.

chesty leroux Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Hey Michael, your workouts sound intense. I was curious what results you had when you did BFL? Do you think it is effective for burning fat? Did you aim for hte 6 proteins a day or just do the best you could? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it is effective for burning fat? Did you aim for hte 6 proteins a day or just do the best you could? Thanks Ash, I do try to keep up the intensity. Body for Life worked wonders for me back in 2000 when I first tried it. I followed the diet as best I could, but always got 6 proteins. They weren't always the "quality" of proteins that the program called for, but I still got great results. I usually did shakes for 2-3 meals a day. Overall, I lost about 30 pounds of fat my first time through, most of it in the first 6 weeks. Good luck, it really does work. Keep the diet strict throughout the week and don't forget to go a little crazy on free day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelhobson Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 Monday, November 14 Finally! I managed a triple with 225 pounds on the bench press! I've been working on that for two months now. I felt so strong, I even went for a fourth rep. It didn't go up! Also managed to push 245 for one, which I failed at on last wednesday's workout. It went up pretty easily. This is a big deal to me because I worked long and hard to bench my bodyweight(244) and I don't want to start slipping back now!

michaelhobson Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 Congrats on benching more than bodyweight! Thanks mate! I actually got that months ago, my current bench record is 255. I was just starting to worry after failing on 245 last week that I was backsliding too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeganEssentials Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 That would be me, aka VeganEssentials! Actually, at last week's weigh-in, I came in at 271 with shoes and shorts, making me closer to about 268 by this time. Still gaining with little added food intake, which hopefully means that it's all good weight going on! Sorry to hijack briefly. Good work on the bench, by the way!

Good luck on your bulk. Yeah man, giant vegans and tall too! Topher was the short guy at Vegan Fitness Week at 6 feet. You should have seen the gang of giant vegans carrying Jonathan's squat rack home from the shop through the streets of Manchester. It was a funny sight!
