Ock and Jays challenge

[ock]

me and Jason at work are always going on about losing the fat off our bellies but never bother doing anything about it, well on tuesday Jason challenged me to see who can get the most "ripped" in 4 weeks , we both weighed on wednesday morning, I`m 13 stone 6 lbs and Jay is 13 stone 3 lbs, I`m not bothered about losing any weight, infact I want to put weight on, I`ve stopped eating rubbish food, we`ve been drinking loads of water, bought lots of nuts and fruit to snack on, I train 3 times a week at the gym anyway but now going to try and go 6 times but do cardio on the days I don`t do weights,

with the cardio I`m doing HIIT ( high intensity interval training ), I`m warming up on the tread mill for 3 minutes with a brisk walk, then jogging for 2 minutes, sprinting for one minute, dropping down to jogging for 2 minutes, sprinting for one minute, jogging for 2 ......... you have to repeat this for 5 or 6 times, this burns fat but not muscle tissue, hopefully I`ll keep my size but lose any fat so that the muscle shows up more,

need to get under 12% body fat before abs show , wish me luck

took a before pic and will take an after pic to see if there`s any change

I think it would only be fair to post your after pics on here for us to decide the winner

just got back from the gym, did the "running thing" then did my biceps, I smell now , just downed a protien shake and about to have a quick shower then bed me thinks, tomorrow is triceps and shoulders, will give cardio a miss or my body won`t have time to recover

Definately before and after photo's of you both ! just for scientific purposes of course

I`m not bothered about losing any weight, infact I want to put weight on,

I know just how you feel Ock - let me know if it works as I could really do with putting a few lb's on

Good luck with your endeavours
Just remember the old body builder's saying,
"Too much protein in your belly,
Rumbles round,
And makes you smelly"

Strawberry jelly makes it smelly.

When I first went to sea the bloke in the bunk above me was heavily into his body building, only ate egg whites for breakfast, protein shakes for lunch, snacks and post workout protein shake drinking times and in between only ate a small amount of fruits, veg or any carbs... he absolutely stank of it. I do the HIIT thing at the gym as well but my diet includes a lot of fruits... well apples...fermented apples... cider, my diet contains a lot of cider so I am not fully appreciating the fat loss thing just yet.

we weighed this morning, I`ve lost 3 lbs, Jay`s lost 1.5 lbs, not too worried about weight loss, just want rid of the fat
