2011 Bodybuilding.com Transformation Contest Journal

[Stormrider]

I am participating in the BB.com 2011 Transformation Contest...This is my journal for it.

Starting Date: 1/2/11
Ending Date: 3/20/11

Goal:
Lose 20lbs. over the next 12 weeks (~1.66lb/week of fat loss)

Stats and Pics:






The pics above are not my "offical" contest pics. Those are located on my BodySpace profile.

Schedule:
This is a rough estimate because of everything that goes on.

M: Lift
T: YRG (Optional) and Gi BJJ
W: Lift
Th: YRG (Optional) and MMA/No GI BJJ
F: Lift
S: YRG (Optional) and/or BJJ (Optional)
Su: Rest

BJJ = Brazilian Jiu-jitsu
MMA = Mixed Martial Arts
YRG = Yoga for Regular Guys

Lifting is mostly body weight and kettlebells.

I am a four stripe blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and try and train it two to three times a week. I may be doing this more with a tournament coming up and my instructors want me to be testing for purple belt in the near future.

Diet:
I am following Scivation's "The Diet Solution" eBook.

Supplements:
-Xtend
-Whey
-Fish Oil

Diet
I kept track of my calories and macros today on fitday.com and it came like this:

Protein should be a little higher but other than that I was pleased.

Random Thoughts
I wanted to get a YRG workout in today but my hamstrings were too destroyed from yesterdays workout. Hopefully they are better tomorrow!
