Training for Bane! DocColossus' New Log!

[DocColossus]

Training for Bane baby! Decided on being Bane for Halloween this year in Hollywood, and am thanking my lucky stars I decided to start leaning out a few months ago!

Current diet is Tim Ferriss' 4 Hour Body, which consists of beans, beans and more beans! Add a whole lot of chicken breast, a mound of egg whites everyday and almonds up the wazoo and you pretty much sum up the food intake! Oh, and don't forget about gorging on greens like spinach everyday as well!

Training is the classic Vince Gironda 8x8 routine with a pretty level split:
Monday: Chest & Back
Tuesday: Legs and calves
Thursday: Shoulders & Arms

I do cardio consistently as well as train my core on a regular basis.

I started then4HB diet at 314lb, I weighed in today at 293lb, so definitely leaning out a whole lot, which will come in handy for being Bane on 10/31!!!!

Sub this thread, I'll do my bestto keep it interesting!

Peace!

Bane is also the new villain in The Dark Knight Rises! I'm going to be Bane for Halloween, and since those are some serious shoes to fill it will require a serious attack on my body! Workouts to follow.

Moving that much weight in that many exercises, for 8x8, with short rest, is just badass. Good smashing Doc.

this will be interesting as I have been flirting with the idea of 8x8...but your sooo much more of a monster than me so I shall watch from the sideline!

Will post tomorrow's workout at Golds Gym Chicago (actually in Joliet,IL)! Chest and back, should make for good smashing!
