FPFL review - week 1
This routine is kicking my ass.  I cannot make it all the way through.

Results not unexpected.  Two (well, three due to leftovers) restaurant meals, and I did not make it all the way through two of the sessions.

Routine plans
  1. FPFL (6 weeks) - tighten up, including below-maintenance diet.  Goal:  get waist below 35"
  2. ABBH (6 weeks) - hypertrophy, including mass-gain diet.  Goal:  add 5-6#, with minimal waist gain.  36" is upper limit for waist.
  3. Thib's Superhero (6 weeks) - tighten up.  Goal:  either add 3-6# and/or drop waist a bit while maintaining mass
  4. SHW (12 weeks) - get waist down and add some better aesthetics.  Diet will depend upon starting point, but I will shoot for dropping inches while maintaining mass or increasing a few pounds. 
  5. FPFL (6 weeks) - tighten up, including below-maintenance diet.  Goal:  10-12# drop.  Hopefully will end this phase at over 210# with a sub-34" waist.
Mass Gain 
Start with ABBH
Why?  Because I remember really liking it.  It is also the routine that got me doing DB Bench with 115# dumbbells for the first time.  Easy, straight-forward, and fun.  Plus, being on a hypertrophy-phase, it fits well.  Roman's Final Phase Fat Loss, or possibly Super Hero Workout (http://finalphasefatloss.com/shw/), will come after ABBH.


The above should bring me to around mid-June, barring any slip-ups or down time.  Then I can determine if I need to lean out more or not.

    2014-09-20 Check in [206.75 @ 35.75] - No lifting

    No formal exercise this week.  Zero energy.  Tried FPFL twice, and crashed hard both times (did not even make it 1/2 way through a session).

    Hmmm.  Not bad considering I did not lift or do cardio.

    Diet foundation:
    • Carb cycling for ABBH
    • Start with 
      • lifting day = 200p + 200c + 50f
      • off day = 200p + 100c + 100f
    • Adjust to different ratios as needed

    Diet = 200p + 200c + 50f per day.  Adjust down as necessary
    After the six weeks, move on to Mass Gain

    Current thoughts
    1. ABBH (6 weeks) - hypertrophy, including mass-gain diet.  Goal:  add 5-6#, with minimal waist gain.  36" is upper limit for waist.
    2. Thib's Superhero (6 weeks) - tighten up.  Goal:  either add a 3-6# and/or drop waist a bit while maintaining mass

    So, stuff did not work this week.  Mass is ok, waist is not.  On to iceland.

    Lost 0.75# previous week.  So I am going to kick things up a bit.  I also did not lift very intensely.

    Goal:  focus carbs peri-workout.  (see below)
    Routine:  Pre-Iceland (3-on/1-off.  chest+shoulders/back+biceps/legs)

    Only 1.5 weeks until we go to Iceland, so I am going to run this week from Saturday 8/23 - Wednesday 9/3

    Saturday - the diet is not going well (up 2# & 0.25"). So back to what I was doing last week.  40p+40c+10f each.  Hopefully this will help a bit prior to heading out on Wednesday
