storm1507 transforming into the perfect storm

[storm1507]

A little about me

I'm 46 yrs old and have been "lifting" since college. Usaully something like 6 months lifting, 5 years off. I have been somewhat consistant the last 5 years. However, nagging injuries, bad decisions, and a few "off" times have held me back.

Starting at 5'9", 165# w/ 31.5" waist.

Routine

I have been doing MaxOT and bulking since mid Oct. The first 3 months went well, but the last 6 weeks I have went from gaining muscle to gaining all fat. I seemed to blow up like a balloon. I had planned to start cutting and enter the end of Jan, but some things came up and I put it off. I now wished I had gone ahead and entered then. On the positive side, I think I have eaten all of my cravings during this last cheat week. So, maybe I can get through the next 12 weeks.

Sunday- Deads and bi's
Monday-Lats and Tri's
Tuesday-Cardio
Wednesday-Legs
Thursday-Cardio
Friday-Chest, shoulders, abs
Saturday-Cardio

I usually change my routine every month.


GOALS

1. Lose this unsightly bodyfat. I want to be around 150# with 30" waist.
2. Lift hard and smart.
3. Keep diet in check.
4. Do enough cardio to make up for any shortcomings in #3.
5. Stay motivated and help motivate others.

Thanks. I had planned to start this one month earlier, so I do have an extra month's slab of fat.

I'll catch up w/ other logs later. Now it's time for church and some deads later today.

I noticed on the profiles alot of people's favorite execise is deads...I like that.

Welcome to the contest Storm. Hope to see you smash all your goals and then some.

Is this your first attempt with fasted cardio? Just wondering your thoughts, if any?

No, I've done fasted LI cardio before. I prefer this for a couple of reasons...

1. To protect my knees...Dad has had both replaced and I've had some issues in the past. His Doc sent message to me....No running, no jumping.

2. It just fits me better. I work evenings, but am a morning person. So, I'm usually up early looking for something to do.
