Fat Boy Contest Progress!


16 Mar 07; Day 61
Made some small changes to my routine based on suggestions from my workout partner. On back/ bi day I'm now doing bent over BB Rows after my Dead lifts, then doing wide grip pull downs. On Chest/Tri day I'm starting with Flat DB press (instead of Flat bench BB), and I also changed the angle of my incline bench (now it is less of an incline) which will allow me to isolate my chest more and my delts less.

So, all in all the same routine with some slight changes. Although, they may seem small, I think they will show some good results in the next few weeks.

As far as cardio goes, I plan on increasing the intensity a little this week.


Now on to the fun stuff, I was asked how my "Fat Boy Contest" colleagues progress was coming along. I have to first mention that I am now in the lead! Not only have I made a come back and got back all of the money I had paid out, but I am now $300. positive!! Whoo-hooo!

Here is a quick view of the contestants and their progress:



Tri-Athlete Training only Man:
Start: 21.2 % 81.5Kg Current: 16.1 % 75.4Kg

Cardio/Diet/and weight training Man:
Start: 20.5 % 81.4Kg Current: 15.4 % 77.5Kg

Just eating less Man:
Start: 23.6 % 97.7Kg Current: 18.9 % 92.8Kg

Rcube:
Start: 19.0 % 90.0Kg Current: 13.6% 88.9Kg

I have named the other contestants based on their chosen routines for fat loss. These readings are based measurements taken at local wellness center on a calibrated impedance scale that we all agreed upon.
As you can see we have all made progress towards our goals and chose different ways to go about it. Now this contest started in September and we ate plenty through the holidays...LOL! In fact most of our progress has been made since Jan 07. We all continue to tweak our routines and eating plans, and some are more strict than others but we all try to support each other and give advice/tips to the other contestants. In the end if everyone meets their goal they should get their money back and have a new "improved" healthy physique and outlook on life. Now even this contest ends in the last week of April, I will still be working to get to a lower %. And once that has been met, I will set a new goal. For now we are just, taking it one day at a time.

Hope you can do the same..Until next time....stay committed to your goals......and Just Get it Done!
