    I am a bodybuilder: the road to my first triathlon series

    My name is Jati, 25 years of age Indonesian, and currently lives in the Netherlands.

    You might be wondering why I created training journal in this site. Well, several years ago I was overweight, I weighted 80 kg on my sophomore years. In 2001, I went abroad to continue my study. I was enrolled in international university in Japan, where I had my bachelor degree in business management with major in human resource.

    Being a freshman from Jakarta, being in a foreign country, with totally different people, was a cultural shock to me. Like many other university students, I got in to the freshman weight gains due to lots of junk food and alcohol consumptions. I spent nearly every nights partying with friends, did some drinking, and get to school on the next day. My health was my least concern.

    By the time I graduated from Japan, I packed a lot of extra weight on my 176 frame. I decided to go for a master degree, again somewhere different from Japan and Indonesia. I always wanted to go to Europe, and the Netherlands seems to be a good place to be. I arrived in Amsterdam by the end of 2005, to attend a graduate program of labor and organizational studies.

    Something occurred to me when I walked around the city; it struck me out of nowhere. I saw the reflection of myself at that moment, and the one before I left Jakarta. I didn?t believe what I see; I was really been overweight.

    I always want to lose weight, but never had the time and effort to do it. I was active in many sports before prior to college; I did some martial arts, swimming, football (soccer), and also weight lifts. But, I didn?t have the commitment to make it as a routine.

    I started to gather information about weight loss and exercise; what to eat and how to do the training.

    In February 2006, I was weighted more than 105 kg, and by the end of it I went down to 70 kg. I lost over 35 kg without any drugs or fat burners, all just from diet and exercises. Everybody was surprised how I lost that much of weight, and starts too worried because I looked so skinny.

    I then decide to pack some muscles. I modified my nutrition intake, exercises, and also the recovery to create a program which gives me the best result.

    Along way, I had to take a year off from my study to work in the family business, helping to run the firm. I kept my routine as it should be no matter what, I want to make it happens, and I do it because I want to. I managed to bring my weight up to 88 kg in 1.5 years, of which I also gained a lot of fat.

    In spring of 2008, I was looking for some materials for my master thesis in labor management. I have been researching about athletes and their performance and behaviors which a lot to be found with the corporate employees.

    I then decided to compete in a bodybuilding show in the Netherlands to undergone the research. I joined Team Scivation at the beginning of 2009, which some I have known their front liners like Derek and Layne from their articles in BB.com.

    Derek helped me on creating my contest diet and training schedule. I asked him to be a drug-free and use only minimum supplement consumptions; I wanted to compete as a natural.
    By May 2009, I went down to 79 kg, drug-free, and I am the best shape in my life. I went in the light middle weight division, and placed 4th. I was so happy that my weight loss has come as result.

    In 3 years I have lost over 35 kg, and compete in a bodybuilding show without any drugs and fat burners. It has been life altering experience and I am so passionate to do other things while keeping this healthy lifestyle.

    Now, I am preparing for a race in triathlon series next year. My training had been modified to accommodate the challenge, but I also try not to lose a lot of muscle mass simultaneously. My diet and supplements are based on the WADA and IOC guidance, while I try to keep my weight training to a more bodybuilding style of training.

    My contest journal can be found on http://www.scivation.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4261

    I am a bodybuilder who trains for triathlon.

    The regime

    I divided my workout into AM and PM, I focused my cardiovascular training in the morning and my weight training in the afternoon. The first subject is my target to be improved at the moment, since bodybuilding training has never emphasized endurance into its workout.

    Monday:
    AM: Running and swimming
    PM: Chest, shoulder, and abs
    Tuesday:
    AM: Running and biking
    PM: Back and traps
    Wednesday:
    AM: Swimming
    Thursday:
    AM: Running
    PM: Legs
    Friday:
    AM: Swimming and biking
    PM: Arms, forearms, and abs
    Saturday:
    Rest
    Sunday:
    AM: Biking

    My morning workout is designed to be a long and steady workout to improve my cardiovascular, I have a VO2 max of 40 ml/kg/min. While my PM workout is more into bodybuilding oriented, volume training with moderate weight and high sets and reps.

    The fuel

    Diet

    I calculate my caloric expenditure around 3500 to 3700 on my training day. To keep my current bodyweight and preventing muscle mass, I consume a minimum 1 gm/lb body weight with 30% of fats. I eat a lot of carbs as my source of fuel in doing the workout, which the majority comes from complex carbohydrate like whole-wheat products, and brown rice.

    Meal 1:
    Canned tuna
    Whole-grain bread
    Almonds
    Grapefruit
    Low-fat yogurt

    Meal 2:
    Whey
    Oats
    Raisins
    Peanut butter

    Meal 3:
    Lean ground beef
    Brown rice
    Green vegetable (broccoli, green beans)
    Olive oil

    Meal 4:
    Egg whites
    Whole wheat bread
    Low-fat butter
    Banana

    Meal 5:
    Lean chicken breast
    Whole-wheat pasta/boiled sweet potato
    Olive oil
    Salad

    Meal 6:
    Whey
    Mixed fruit (apple, oranges, strawberries)
    Low-fat yogurt
    Walnuts

    Total protein: 189 gr
    Total carbohydrates: 425 gr
    Total fat: 115 gr
    Total calories: 3491 kcal

    Supplements

    I am rather strict on my choice of supplements, my main items are whey protein, BCAA, and igniter. I am using X-tend which I have during my workout, and Nitic Oxide prior to my weight training. I also use a multi vitamin, Animal Pak, which I take a pak every morning after my breakfast.

    Monday: June 8th

    Today is my first day of getting back into the water after a long time. I almost forgot the feeling of surrounded by nothing but water. I got my swim suit, goggles, and towel and head to the pool. The water was cold, it was not warmed.. nonetheless I had a very good moment in there.

    AM training

    Swimming: lap swimming
    40 minutes
    10 laps @ 50 m

    Running:treadmills
    RPE 3
    Distance: 5.1 km
    Avg speed: 7.6 km/h

    The purpose of this swimming session was to get used with the surrounding. I stayed for several minutes just floating and diving in the pool. It was weird to get back into the swimming pool after a long time not swimming.

    PM training

    Chest, shoulders and abs

    S/M decline press: (+ bar) 52.5 x 10, 8, 5
    DB bench press: 22 x 10, 10, 6
    Mac. pullover: 60 x 10, 60
    High pulley cable x-over: 25 x 10, 9

    DB shoulder press: 20 x 10, 5, 6 (pain on my right shoulder)
    Mac. shoulder press: 40 x 10, 8, 8
    Alt. db lat. front raise (palm in): 12 x 10, 8
    DB side lat raise: 10 x 12, 8

    Abs flex: b/w x 25, 20
    Side abs flex: 2 sets of 20

    All exercise are done with 90 seconds rest between sets, continuous effort per muscle group. It is similar to the GVT exercise or the 10 x 10 training. Slow on the negatives and explosive come back.

    Tuesday: June 9th

    I begin to understand the meaning of training for triathlon, it's a different kind of breed with any endurance sports. They make marathons looks like a sunday run!

    I had a good day today, going through some papers that need to be reviewed. My eyes were watery because of the pollen, I hope it will ends soon. Going around Amsterdam with red eyes and carrying eye drops also not being able to speak Dutch is not a pretty sight huhuhu..

    AM training
    Running:
    30 minutes
    RPE 2
    Distance: 3.75 km
    Avg speed: 7.6 km/h

    Biking:
    60 minutes on the trainer (lvl 5)
    Low effort
    Distance: 21.5 km
    RPM: 82

    PM training
    Back, rear delts, and traps

    Starts off with shoulder recovery exercise for 10 minutes using a pair of light dumbbells.

    W/G pulldown: 65 x 8, 8, 7
    Underhands pulldown: 50 x 8, 8
    T-bar row: (+ platform) 40 x 8, 8, 8
    Cable row: 70 x 8, 8

    Mac. barbell shrug: 115 x 12, 12
    DB shrug: 36 x 10, 9
    DB rear lat. raise: 7 x 12, 12
    Seated cable rear lat. pull: 10 x 12, 12

    *Each exercise are done with 60 seconds rest in between sets. I divided into back and rear delts/traps, each muscle part has around 10 sets.

    I forgot to mention that all numbers are in metrics, unless mentioned otherwise

    Not a bad day for a 4 hours sleep and heavily under antihistamine

    Tomorrow is swimming!

    Wednesday: June 10th

    Morning weight: 82.2 kg

    I went to another pool in Amsterdam, distance is still in my main concern in choosing the right place to train my swimming. This one is located further where I had my swimming usually, but it's in the other part of the city. Very enjoyable surrounding, but rather small compare to where I had.

    Plus: cozy neighborhood (museum, park, and historical buildings), kids in the swimming school whom escorted by their mums.
    Minus: lack of window (it gets really hot inside with all the glass ceiling), few swimming lanes.

    I like the location where it is, i might as well get a place there!

    AM training
    Swimming: race-specific

    w/u: 2 x 50 low effort
    main: 4 x 50 @ RPE 2, 2 x 50 @ sprint
    c/d: 3 x 50 easy

    I finished the training with some breathing technique, I need improve it to swim effectively. I begin to feel the rhythm of being in the water again

    Oh, last night I had my "free" meal, half of apple pie!! YUM YUM!!!

    I'm excited to follow your triathlon journey. I've done a couple marathons, but never a triathlon so I give you a lot of respect.

    Hi, welcome!! I love that quote, it's kinda similar to bodybuilding. The barrier that separate bodybuilders and weight lifters.

    Well hello! I am going to follow along with great interest. I believe that bb and tri's are "opposite" sports and would be difficult to succeed in both at the same time. But on the other hand, it's great that you are enjoying more than one sport and giving your body lots of different physical experiences to enjoy. I suppose if you are not trying to compete in both sports during the same season that will work out fine. My hubby is a long distance triathlete (Ironman x9) so he eats all the carbs and I eat all the protein! Our workouts are quite different.

    Love your before and after pictures. Nice work!!

    Wednesday: June 11th (AM training)

    First, today was started pretty rough. I made a rookie mistake, I didn't charge my iPod.. I was forced to surrender to the sound of gym's anthem and voiceless tv.

    I have my long day this morning, trying to keep on the treadmill non-stop.

    AM training
    Running: long run

    Easy pace for 60 minutes
    Start RPE: 2, end RPE: 3
    Speed: first 30 mins: 7.6 km/h, second 15 mins: 8.0 km/h, last 15 mins: 8.4 km/h
    Distance: 8 km

    I'm relieved that I survived the training, treadmill has always been my weakness. My training was always about HIIT, and I'm not a fan of cardio machine. Tonight I'll have my leg and tri training, I met a PT whom I asked to w/o with me. He was also interested with what I training for

    I took a picture this morning before my training, right after I noticed there were no power left on my mp3 player.. no smiling

    And now, a TRI! That's so exciting for you!
    Hello dear, very nice to see you!!

I suppose if you are not trying to compete in both sports during the same season that will work out fine. My hubby is a long distance triathlete (Ironman x9) so he eats all the carbs and I eat all the protein! Our workouts are quite different.

    Love your before and after pictures. Nice work!!
    Hi, you're such a great pair of couple!! And all the respect to your husband !!

    I think the diet is the toughest of ?m all; eating a lot of food without having a second thought that I won't gain any weight is something that I'm still learning. But the good thing is everybody noticed you whenever you hit the pool

    I feel your pain on the lack of battery on the iPod. It is insane how much having music you like can be a huge help in a workout, especially one like treadmill cardio.

    When I trained for my first marathon...I did no treadmill stuff at all and did only road work. Even in January in MN where it was single digit temps most of the month. This was mostly because I couldn't keep a good tempo and I was afraid I'd fall off. The next 3 ones were exclusively on the treadmill. You definitely want to have tunes available for the long runs for sure!

    Can't wait to see how the training goes...you're going to nail this!

    I got into ska music in college. One of my friends was a big fan. I'm also a fan of mixing different genres...so the combinations are always a hit with me.
    No excuses, just performance...

    Thanks Phil, I appreaciate it. The training is wonderful, it's a different challenge but really hooked me up. Some of my lifting buddies are begin to wonder that i spend time more than the usual in the cardio, they think I'm going for another show!!

    Road work, that's extraordinary!! i went on training outdoor around the forrest for the whole winter last year, gonna try to do it again the upcoming months. My allergy to pollen is the thing that forbid me from going outdoor now. Some folks here told me about the "east european remedy", which they say results may vary (

    I listened ska whenever I'm in Jakarta, i think it's a weatherly genre and somehow it just doesn't fit toa 4 season country like the Netherlands.

    PM training

    "Donkey never fall the same hole twice"

    That's pretty much my day was about. Started with no power on my MP3, so I charged it once I head back. But here's the amazing part, I did something wrong so all the synchronization a mess. It left me with ONLY ONE track, that is Dan Gastelu's awesome muscle seminar which I got from bb.com. Nevertheless, with the spirit of a bodybuilder, I went to the gym and did my training!!

    PM training
    Quads and biceps/tri's

    Front squat: 80 x 8, 8, 8
    Barbell lunges: 40 x 8, 60 x 8
    Leg extension: 75 x 8, 8, 8
    Horizontal leg press (inward toes): 79 x 8, 8

    *My focus was out between moving the weight and listening to Dan glaring about RDA on athletes.

    EZ bar I go you go: (+ bar) 5 until failure

    Then we decide to finish things up with 3 sets of triceps dips.

    I worked out with a buddy of mine who is also a trainer today. He told me about working as a trainer, all the vis-avis about the job. It got me thinking, my job now is fine, but its very time consuming. I see PT would be a great thing since I could dual it with my master program. It looks like it has a very flexible working hour.

    One thing is that I never really had a "trainer", I never had that enough trust to let someone manage my life. My training and nutrition are really based on trial and error. I know what will work to my body, but I couldn't say that guarantee that it will be successful to most.

    But, when he told me about the job and and the vis-a-vis about it, it really looks interesting. Maybe I should give it a go, h*ll I worked as teaching assistant before. Isn't kinda the same idea of passing knowledge from one to another??

    We need to make an appointment and see how it goes. That surely something I will sleep it over tonight..

    Any suggestions?

    wow, masters program AND training twice a day? talk about seriously focused! I'm very impressed.

    And you have another huge ska fan here.. hepcat, the specials, the skatalites, anyone?

    I'll be following along, you seem extremely determined and inspirational.

    working out without music is hell!

    Very interesting about job opportunity as trainer. AND you're working already AND you're doing masters. Woo! I am seriously considering getting my personal trainer certificate this summer. But my job is very busy and I have a weekly radio program AND the rest of the time I'm in the gym (oh and I'm a wife and mom). All that to say I didn't think I'd have time to take on clients... but you know, if you do it, I'll do it! Yay! Yes, it is.. transfer of knowledge! I say you should give it a try.

    Friday: June 12th (AM training)

    I felt good today, my legs still sore from all the squat yesterday. I had my 1st meal in and straight off to do my tri-training.

    Swimming: speed day
    w/u: 8 laps of 50, easy pace, last 2 laps are kick and pull only
    main: 2 laps 50, all out
    c/d: 3 laps of 50, 1st 50: breast stroke, 2nd 50: kick, 3rd 50: pull

    I met someone at the pool and he told me to work on my hands and not to worried about my kicking technique. I also met a girl and who gonna go out for a drink next time we meet after the training... hold on, am I supposed to do that???

    I began to feel my nature in the water again, I think my conditioning has improved since I started 3 weeks ago. Gonna have my conditioning test next week, work harder!!!

    Okay, i have a PM training in an hour.. hams, calves, and probably arms!! YEAY!!

    Just started training for my first tri. My log is in my sig... I tried 2 a days for a while, but my body can't handle the stress with the way I lift: led to overtraining.

    Anyways, if you have any suggestions for my log I'd really appreciate them. Repped, and good luck.

    Friday: PM training

    Funny thing happens today, I was supposed to train with my mate who helped me for my show. We settled on 7, but in the afternoon he texted me and asked if I was sicked because he didn't see me at the gym. Turned out that he thinks it was 7 am, and 7 pm for me. Anyway, I still do my workout.

    Hamstrings, triceps, abs

    SLDL: 80 x 10, 10, 8
    S/M sumo squat: (+ bar) 40 x 10, 50 x 10, 8
    Ass. ghr: b/w x 8, 5
    Single leg curl: 25 x 10, 10

    Mac. dips: 77 x 12, 12, 10
    Pulldown: 25 x 12, 30 x 12, 11
    DB overhead: 18 x 12, 8
    DB kickback: 10 x 12, 12

    Crunch: 2 sets of 25

    I was totally shattered, barely move a muscle after that. The good news is, I have my cheat meal today.. the bad news is, I forgot to shop for junk food!!!

    I've been looking at some certification for this industry, there are plenty of them. I spotted one in particular from IFBB, it's not really popular among others but seems to be similar to what I want to be specialized in..

    I did work in HR and it was a blast with all the tension and the pressure, I just love it. But, i think PT is a great fun too and flexible with a busy schedule..

    Triathlon is a hard sport, a friend of mine who is a marathon runner and also a running instructor think I was crazy when I told him that I want to do it. There is a quote about that which goes

    "If triathlon were easy, they would call it football"

    There is a reason why many people don't do it... The first step is to tackle your fear of going the unknown, the rest will come follow.

    Saturday: June 13th

    Rest day

    Woke up pretty nauseas this morning, maybe from what I ate last night. Since i forgot to have my evil meal, so I decided to clean up the kitchen. It was something like: half kilo of green beans, quarter kilo of cauliflower, 400 grams of lean ground chicken, 200 grams of ground beef, 1 box of granola bar (8 bars), half bottle of soda, half of remaining apple pie, and a hand full of almonds.. Oh, I warmed-up with a hamburger, a cheese burger, and small fries (courtesy of you know what).

    I went to get some food today, all I have left in the fridge was broccoli, peaches, a banana, couple apples, and 2 beers (which is now became a bottle). Then made some food prep for next week. I went to the tanning booth yesterday, somebody told me that I'm Japanese

    Note: not every Asian looks alike, leave that identification to people from the other continent!!

    The weather in Amsterdam is really sunny, maybe I'll go sit on the park with the remaining bottle...

    Beer of the day: GROLSCH

    congrats on the date! and sure, you can get a drink after training.. I did last night.. i don't know if it will help your performance one bit, but still.

    YAY rude girls and rude boys!
    I listened to this tune every morning, a Jakarta radio plays it as the first song of their program. I picked up as the habit, never really had a bad morning since then..

    Sunday: June 14th

    Trying to make a cheat meal from a lean diet ingredients probably not a good call, I still can hear the chicken speaks to the cow in my stomach

    Anyhow, I had my long training day this morning. 90 minutes on bike. I studied about my allergy to pollen which I have for more than 3 weeks, I found an article which explains what that is http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/23068751/.

    I never had this allergy before, not in Jakarta neither in Japan. Only here in Amsterdam, and only this year.. it's SO weird, would there be a new species of plant that only grew in Amsterdam this year??

    The worse timing for the allergy in during the morning, I woke up with blocked nose and sneezing for I dunno how many times. Antihistamine which I took doesn't really help much, just gave me light headed.. I think i will just have to wait until spring is over before I can train outdoor again..

    AM training
    Biking: mentality day

    90 minutes on bike
    easy pace
    5 minutes hill climbing

    Tunes: Sash! - Adelante

    I did a lot of stretching after the workout, targeting the shoulders. I feel that my shoulder have the most used from all the training, and I'm planning to start my new routine next week with a lot of pull day for swimming.. BRING IT ON!!
