Completely different training style.

[NewbieChris]

As part of my training cert. course it is recommended that I follow a trainer. I am following my friend who was one of the behind the scenes trainers on The Biggest loser. Im giving her 4 weeks to get me ripped (she says it will happen) because I have been stuck at this plateau since October. Anyhoo, we are going to be utilizing my core more and doing 10 circuits. I am interested to see what she throws at me.

I am learning that carbs are not bad at all if they are the right ones.
Im stuck in the "old" way of thinking but slowly comming out of it. I would be intrested in what diet advise she gives you.

I stayed away from carbs as well but now if I eat the correct ones I have much more energy in the gym. Plus doing the cardio 4 times a week helps keep the fat off.

We talked about diet. She wasn't too far off from what everyone here says. She thinks:

6 egg whites, 1 whole egg
1 slice whole grain bread with almond butter
6oz of chicken and veggies
6oz of chicken, lettuce and veggies, and a complex carb
I told her I sometimes I have Pre workout shake
6 oz of lean meat, and veggies with a complex carb

She thought about 23/2400 calories would be good for me.

We are supposed to discuss in more detail next week.

The trainning was miserable. All compound movents that included core in a circuit routine with a 2 minute run at the end of the circuit. It was only a 'warm up' she said. lol As long as this tightens up my belly so I can gain...

[NewbieChris]

An example of what she had me do. We were supposed to train again, but we have only done it once. I was also supposed to get a routine, but nothing yet.

She had me do:

renegades (10)
Split overhead dumbell presses (10 each leg forward, 20 total)
bench leg raise and hold (5 second hold, 20)
run for 1 minute (Inc of 12, speed 8.5)
repeat 2 x

Font plate raise with 25lb plate with a squat. (10 each arm)
weighted burpee with should press (10)
bench leg raise and hold (5 second hold, 20)
run for 1 minute (Inc of 12, speed 8.5)
repeat 2x

Burpees length of the gym and back
leg raise on roman chair with her pushing down (20)
repeat 2x


I took this and modified it.

I did a split this week.

Chest / bi
Back / tri
shourlders
legs

I have done chest and back days already.

For chest day I did:

Incline Dumbell Presses. (12)
Dumbell curls (Holding one leg off the ground at a 90 degree angle, 12)
bench leg raise and hold (same as her)
run for 1 min (same as her)
4x

Flat DB bench on a stability ball (10)
barbell curl on a bosu ball (10)
Dec. leg raise (20)
1 min run
3x

Decline Cable fly (12)
21's
burpee for length of gym
3x

DB flys on stability ball (15)
Push ups on stability ball and bosu ball (10)
cross bench crunch (20)
3x

I'd love to hear ur comments.

I would venture to say it is close to that, most likely. Simply due to the fact that Men's Fitness readers aren't necessarily in the same physical boat as a bodybuilder.

It is really designed to tone my midsection. A lot of off balance, core related work.
