saying hi

[wndrdr1111]

Hey guys,

This is my first post, so just wanted to say hi. Have been reading the forum for few days now and already found lots of helpful info.

Bit of background info: I'm 26, Polish but live in Australia. Have been doing weights for 5 years now but only recently have been getting serious about it. Currently weigh 84kgs, height 176cm, body fat around 18%. I'll post pics soon. Since it's summer in Aus now I am working on getting ripped rather than adding more muscle mass. Trying to get down to 8-10% body fat.

Here is my current weekly training program:
Day 1: Chest/Back
Day 2: Legs
Day 3: Cardio (30 min)
Day 4: Abs/Shoulders
Day 5: Biceps/Triceps
Day 6: Cardio (30 min)
Day 7: Cardio (30 min)

I usually do 4 excercises per body part, 4 or 5 sets per excercise. So usually end up doing 16-20 sets per body part.

My diet is generally pretty good. 5 - 6 meals a day, around 170g of protein. No junk food etc. Drinking lots of water.

Any comments on the program? Constructive criticism?

Cheers,
Tom

Welcome to the forum, Tom.

Looks like you've got a pretty good handle on things. How long have you been on this plan and what has it done for you so far?

Oh yeah ... how do you like Australia?!

Hey,

I have been on this program (without cardio which I only have been doing for about a week) for about 2 months. I put on around 4kgs in that time and gained a fair bit more strength (for example my squats have gone up from 80kgs to 100kgs, and bench press has gone up from 80kgs to 90kgs). But since it's summer and I spend loads of time at the beach I have decided to cut up.

Aus is great, I'm in Melbourne and it's a good place to live. I love the weather (a fair bit warmer than Poland) and I love the beaches. I windsurf heaps and the best thing is I can do it all year round (although winter can be a bit cold).

Cheers,
Tom
