Greg's Stats - December 2004
In 2004 my goal was to become large, I wanted my chest to boom, my arms to pop and basically have that "swole" look. I didn't push the cut complex at all but concentrated steadily on strength, mass and eating... alot of eating.
At the end of the year I was continuously asked if I was juicing and became known as a "big" dude. That goal was blown away with flying colors and I was happy, never having "maxed-out" I did not record my stats but I will list what I worked out with on the most popular ecercises:
Bench Press: 315x5 | Squats: 455x4 | Bicep Curls: 145x8
The Plan And Execution
The plan is to keep my strength whilst adding in a strict diet and an increase in cardio. Without losing much of this bulk, my goal is to chisel it all into something solid by year's end. This Journal is an outline of my routines and techniques on the "Road Of Kings".
Kicking Old Habits
One of the hardest thing to kick was my insatiable appetite. I have a reputation for downing 2-3 plates of food easily and putting back drink in the high numbers. On the road I have decided to eliminate alcohol consumption along with a solid eating plan to keep my Protein/Carbs and Fat intake under control. The other thing that was tough is my lack of cardio, I have had to mentally re-work my attitude towards cardio just to keep me at it. High Intensity cardio is always fun but it's the long boring jogs or bikes that I have always had issues with. They are of course necessary and when Winter rolls around, I know it would have all been worth it. Gang!
