Hey you looked prety good in ure pics mass wise. If you were to cut down and get shredded i think you could win some shows cause you look real thick. Also you are in college so you should 23 or under i think. So you could prolly do some junior mens competitions. If you did the NPC Natural ohio the junior mens you could prolly win. Just check it out.

thanks tony appreciate the compliments :2:......i dont know much about the junior mens competitions, i'm 20 years old if that matters :dunnodude:....i defiantly want to check out sum more shows, after my show March 30th i'd like to possibly do another one 2 weeks later if i can handle it :ughfingers:

start with a 10 sec sprint on the 1 min 30 sec mark, so 0, 1.30,3.00, 4.30 (mins)

and do 10 sprints for you first session, and try and add another sprint every week until your at 15 sprints, then start doing the sprints for 10 secs on the minute

Theres so many ways you can do things, it ultimately depends on what your exact training split is as well. For starters, cardio 4x a week would probably be a good idea. I'd recommend that 2 of those days, you do HIIT cardio in the following fashion:

30 second sprint as hard as you can on the treadmill, then walk slowly for 2 minutes, and repeat. Do that 8 times total in the workout, which would take 20 minutes. After thats finished, you could immediately follow that with a brisk walk for another 20 minutes.

Your other cardio days, just do 30 minutes of some form of low intensity cardio (brisk walk, elliptical). As the diet progresses, you will obviously increase this.

As far as supplements, ALCAR and Sesamin should be staples. White tea before cardio is also a good idea, and as things progress you could maybe pick up some other fat loss supplements (which are really just glorified green tea and caffeine anyways, but they can contain some good thyroid support and appetite suppressants as well).

In general, I'd also stress the importance of a concept called non-exercise-activity-thermogenesis (NEAT). Basically, this is just spontaneous activity throughout the day which increases caloric expenditure (without the mental burdeon of a cardio workout). This could include something easy like doing 1 minute of jumping jacks or something throughout the day, or even twitching your leg while watching TV. Over time, it can make a difference without taxing your recovery at all.

i have wednesday's off of training so i'm planning on doing HIIT cardio on wednesday's from now on as long as my knee stops bothering me, besides that i will do slow cardio about 3 days a week????
I will have 2 get sum ALCAR, Sesamin and white tea as well.....(don't know much about em but i'll look into it...)
during the week i walk from my apartment to all of my classes and the majority of my classes are activity classes (I'm a Physical Education major) so i'm doing a lot of moving around and not just walking...<---would this fall under NEAT??????

Thanks IS appreciate the help :tiphat:

White tea you should be able to get at Walmart or pretty much any store like that, sesamin & alcar youd probably have to order online.

Sure, sounds good to me, you could do the HIIT on wednesdays like I prescribed, on top of the slow cardio 3x a week. The key is progression, as the diet progresses you'll probably have to up the duration of cardio a lot.

Yes, all the stuff you listed would certainly count as NEAT, it sounds like you've got a good grip on things. I'd recommend that you take some weekly pics and keep this log updated, because I'm sure guys like Tunen, Freakzilla and others would be willing to help out as well. :2:
