Haven't posted in a while. My most recent plan was to go through a cutting cycle. I made the workout plan and started it. I began to taper down the calories... then various life-events happened (nothing bad or tragic, just distracting), and before I knew it, I hadn't worked out in 4 days, and I neglected my calories for about as long.
Well, not sure what to do, I hatched yet another plan. I was roughly half-way through what could be an SD period, since I have shed a couple pounds in the 15's in the past, so I figured that I could lose a little fat yet and still begin my third HST cycle!!
I've underfed a little during this SD phase -- I know that's not recommended, but a couple pounds are off, waist measurement is down a little, other measurements are down only a little. I think the muscle will rebound rather quickly as it did in my HST2 cycle.
So for this cycle, I'm planning:
Incline bench (15 degree incline)
Pull Ups
Squats/ Deadlifts (alternating)
Dips
Bent Over Row
Military Press
Shrugs
DB Arm Curls
Skull Crushers
Three days per week schedule.
Non-lifting days will be :
30 minutes moderate cardio (day two)
15 - 20 minutes HIIT cardio (day four)
10 minutes moderate cardio followed by Tabata workout (day six)
Seventh day rest.
For nutrition, I will underfeed the first week of the 15s, ramp calories up the second week, then overfeed in a zig-zag fashion through the rest of the cycle. The goal is a slow bulk.
Now, lets see if I can get through this one without the interruptions!!!
