My name is Mike, and i've been training this summer the absolute most intense i've ever done.
Background information as to my physical life:
- I weighed 105 lbs. when i first started working out.
- I could not bench the bar, leg press more than 200 lbs., or rather do anything for that matter.
- Within a matter of days after joining a gym, i hired a personal trainer to get me rolling.
- In 5 months, even with a poor diet (i tried to eat right, but knew nothing) I gained 20 pounds.
- In 2 more months i gained 25 lbs. because i finally ate right. I was 150 lbs compared to my 105 former self.
- BF% was very very high compared to the start.
- I could do 800 lbs. on the leg press for reps, maxing at nearly 1000.
- My max bench was 185.
- I could max Deadlift 315.
So from there, i spent the beginning of this summer trying to gain size, but could only gain a pound here and there which was nothing compared to my winter progress. I decided in the middle of july that i was going to get my first ever six pack.
With that said, it is my new goal to drop from 152 to 135 with minimal muscle loss.

My Conditioning:
No matter what, it is non-stop. No breaks. No Water (only enough to wet my mouth at times, otherwise i will just throw it up)
My friend was in wrestling and has me do this workout. I was never in wrestling. Every day is different but this is what is included:
- Jogging (lots)
- Sprinting
- Pushups
- Plank Position
- Crunches
- Squat Jumps
- Squat Thrusts
- Curls, sometimes held in a position
- My Inhailer (needed sometimes haha)
- Bear Crawls
- Jumping Jacks
- Whacky Jacks
- Cherry Pickers
- Skipping
- High-Knees
- Karaoke's (SP?)
- Cart Wheels (...YEA)
- Lunges
- Jumping over things
If i think of any more i will edit this. These exercises are mixed in, non-stop, some days i do all sprints, some days i do alot of squat thrusts. He mixes in an exercise that compliments the day, so if it were shoulder day then he'd make me do standing presses 50 times with a pussy weight, but fast.
I've been doing this for 2 full weeks. The first day i threw up, and the first friday i threw up. One day i ate cake and threw up. After throwing up i came back out and finished. I weigh 140.5 right now, i have not entered in any progress for a very long time. I have set up the weight i should be at each day before, during and after working out. It is a healthy amount. The during working out weight is the weight pre-conditioning.
I have not measured my bodyfat, but i will at the end. I have until the 17th until i go back to college.
After 2 weeks, the workouts have been getting easier, so what i have added in myself is this:
500 Pushups per day (Sets of 50 whenever)
Ab-Ripper X (From p90x)
500 Crunches Per Day (Sets of 50 whenever)
I will be adding in more when i feel that i can handle it. My goals are:
- Perform 75 non-stop Push-Ups with perfect form.
- Perform 100 Crunches with perfect form.
- Be able to do a full planche.
- Perform 15 Pullups with perfect form.
If anyone has any tips, or can tell me what may work better as opposed to what i am doing, please let me know. Also, when is the deadline for me editing this post?
Thank you for your time.
