Ark94's Workout Log

lol tblock, i think its pretty accurate though. am definitely, no way in hell 12% or under. i can't see my abs yet. I am most likely in the 15-18% range easy. I have never seen my abs before so im not that low. I will have pics up when i get home from school.



i took out the SLDLs because i thought they were pointless. I probably shouldn't have lol.

Here is what my new plan is going to look like.

Monday
3x5
Complexes
20-30 Minute Jog (immediately after workout)

Tuesday
HIIT after school

Wednesday
3x5
Complexes
20-30 Minute Jog (immediately after workout)

Thursday
- Rest Day -
(may just do HIIT here though)

Friday
3x5
Complexes
20-30 Minute Jog (immediately after workout)

Saturday
AM Fasted Cardio
6-7km Bike (to and from work it adds up to that)
PM HIIT Cardio

Sunday
AM Fasted Cardio
6-7km Bike (to and from work it adds up to that)
PM HIIT Cardio


I don't think there is enough running in there though. How does it look?

- don't do HIIT the day before a squat workout. I know you're only squatting twice a week now so i am not sure when those days are, but i highly advise you not to run heavily the day before.
- leave thursday as a rest day... you need at least one day to recuperate.
- I don't think you need to run on the days you do complexes.
- Why fasted cardio? This is a very debatable strategy and i have heard a lot of guys on here strongly recommend not doing it.
- I wouldn't run before a bike like that....
 
why so much cardio ontop of complexes?

I wanted to build up my stamina. I thought it might help, thats one reason for the cardio. sorta get fit =D. I haven't been doing that though, i was going to add that in. Another reason is because i should be doing 3-4times AM fasted cardio, but i can only do it twice since school gets in the way. Thats why i thought i should add it in.

Alright. i just fucked myself over then haha, i just did my HIIT, feeling bit sick still, and it was raining. feeling better now but my lungs were burning up again lol.

I will leave thursdays as a rest day, i have been so i shall continue doing so.
I am debating between running on the days of complexes. If i wanted to do some cardio, is jogging fine? Or should i do a machine like the elliptical or stair step? (btw, i do my hiit outside to get max effort out, and do my am fasted jog outside)

I find that fasted cardio helps. I like doing it to, and need something to do on weekend mornings haha.

Last point, i don't bike right after my run. I always eat, then few hours later go to work. Thats when i bike to work, and then bike back home.
 
Why should you be doing pre breakfast cardio 3-4 times a week?

It helps with what im doing. But i have enough in there right now i guess, just to stick with it.

One thing i wanted to add, i posted in my log about Wednesday's workout, how on the 3rd military set compared to the 2nd set that it went better.

Well, i tried getting in the mode. I would lift the bar off, get read. close my eyes for 5-10 seconds. think about what im doing, why im doing it, what i want to look like, who i want to be, get myself together and focused, then lift. It helped a shit ton. i did that on bent row and it helps me really well. songs don't work that much, but that did, just closing my eyes. (sounds soft?) haha


So here are my progress pics. One thing i want to note, i don't like pictures much. My camera is shitty, and i go more by what i feel, how clothes fit, and by the mirror. I don't have any legs or back in many of the pictures, back is hard to do alone, and legs i just don't take a pic of them. i will next week though.

(I suck at taking pics, that's why there are so many lol, can't find ones that are decent)

Any differences? the pics suck, and i still look like a fat fuck in my tummy lol.
 
you definitely look alot bigger (not like huge huge difference but noticeable) from the beginning to end. I think youève made good progress.
 
I thought your main goal was to gain mass and strength? If that's still true then I think you're doing far too much cardio. If you really want to build up your endurance you can do that by reducing rest periods during sets or just sticking to HIIT workouts, both of which would not impact your mass gain as severely as cardio sessions. You're pretty thin to begin with so even if you're eating a lot of calories, doing cardio as much as you suggest will just have a negative impact on your mass/strength gains.
 
I would only do cardio once or twice a week and count your soccer training as one of them, with complexes thats fine. The more cardio you do the harder it will be to gain size...
