I should have posted this last Sun after I had completed the 6 weeks. But I've been a bit busy even with the week off.
While I was following the 6 week plan I was eating approx 2200 cal, 85g fat, 138g protein and 233g carbs, as per Fadi's 2200cal food plan.
I took some measurements before and after, and the results really surprised me.
I've lost close to 5 kilos, just over 5 inches from my stomach, a little under 2 inches from my chest and just under 1/2 an inch from the biceps.
So the the big 2 are 5 kilos and 5 inches, and I now have a 4 pack
On Mon I'm starting Fadi's http://ausbb.com/bodybuilding-train...move-your-body-through-space-program-1-a.html
Oh and I got my time down to 12:15 for 100 burpees!
I'm soooo happy to say good-bye to the 100 burpees, only be doing 50 twice a week now!!!!
Thank you Fadi for all the support and for the program itself. I'm sure the next 12 weeks will be as successfull as the past 6.
Good luck to all who follow the 6 week program, I think it works!
Cheers,
Mike.
Hi Fadi, Yes the big stuff nextThank you Mike and very well done indeed. Looking forward to seeing you lifting the heavies now!
PS: I'm just wondering (just wondering promise), how long would it take to knock over 1000 burpees!?!Can anyone take an educated guess based on their experience with the 100 killers!?

If it drops off slowly, it'll come back on slowly, so worth sticking with!I did lose weight, I did gain strength, but the results over a 6 month period were pretty dissapointing. As a consequence, I stopped! My weakness and impatience there.
That is going up over 85% your maximum heart rate. Slow down. Aim at 110-130 for low intensity steady state work. Going up to 150 or so for a minute or so is okay, so long as most of it's 110-130.DNL said:This week, I've started on the weights again, plus I am walking every day...not just a plod or dawdle, but a righteous walk at a cracker pace....I've had my HR up to 149 going up hills! Very cardio unfit.
Tape measure is how you tell. Like me this year, I went from about 84 to 78kg, okay I obviously lost a bit, but more telling was waist 97->84cm, chest 100->107cm. Bugger the scales, bin them.This week, I have lost 2.8kg....muscle growth, I'm unsure. I am yet to get the tape measure out, but I will.
Yes, it's usually diet.I did this 3 times a week, and on non-weight days, I flogged myself on cardio for at least 1 hour daily. Maybe diet as well?
You were probably working too hard compared to your diet - too much energy out, not enough in. Your body can make up the difference with your bodyfat, but you still need enough good protein and vitamins and minerals to build up the muscles.I did not gain good muscle growth commensurate with 5-6 days in the gym for 6 months. I still had a fat gut as well, despite a sh...t load of ab work.
Absolutely! Stick with each plan for at least a month, see what happens.I just can't explain this week's result. I am thinking I will continue with my current path for 4 weeks, and compare the results. I logged back then, I am logging now. The body is an interesing thing!
Hill sprints are the BOMB!Aswome mate, ill check that thread out asap, My HIIT type that i consider i do is my hill sprints, Just 10 on a huge incline, about 20m
Forgive me Fadi, how many times a week should this be performed? I'm interested in using it to build a foundation for exercise and the added bonus you mentioned. In conjunction I'll also give your 2200 calorie meal plan a whirl.
Thanks for the numerous interesting and educating posts.
Just a small note parismilton, ... I would not make canola oil one of the team of oils I'd consume due to the potential it has in causing macular degeneration, or at least in its potential to speed the effect or onset of that eye disease. I ask you to please do your research on this subject. Here's a start if you like: Yahoo! Groups
