If you can email me on the address I give to post on this website I can send you a few ebooks, as well as the plan I'm sticking to for the next 13 weeks (before I change to something different). Snow is really affecting things here in the UK so I wont be able to make it to the gym. I find myself doing this routine in the meanwhile! Hey man, glad you liked my routine.

You're right about the gym workout. I can do most of those with resistance bands at home, but the difference is that once you workout to the point of max resistance, you can't go any further. Benefits of a gym include pushing past limits that resistance bands offer. The great thing about hte workout program I am following is that I cna do everything from home. Just need some extra freeweights or dumbbells, resistance bands, pull-up bar and a fitness ball. Sion, if you have any more ideas on meals, I'd love to hear some more of them! Nice to get a variety. When you eat healthy, you tend to use alot of the same ingredients :) Ttoally sore EVERYWHERE today. Thighs, butt, stomach, arms, chest...sore, sore, sore! I love it! Great workout for sure.

These exercises require equipment often only found in a gym, here's what I did: 12-15x Split squat front foot elevated 8-10x Machine leg curl 10-12x Barbell bench press 10-12x Reverse grip lat pulldons 12-15x Military bar press 10-12x Seated rows 12-15x Reverse grip EZ bar curl 15-20x Hanging leg raises Joining the gym is a motivational thing for me. I could do a routine like the one you have posted but I wont be disciplined enough to do it at home! Breakfast - 1cup Oats, 2 frozen bannana's, 1tsp Cinnamon, 1Tbsp honey, 2Tbsp peanut butter, 100ml greek yogurt and 100ml Soy milk all blended together to make a smoothie. I dont like porridge cooked up normally so this is a delicious alternative and cheap; preperation take a while longer though. Snack - Whey protein shake (20g whey), 2 fruit Lunch - 2 slices of granary loaf, Hummus (instead of butter), salad and beef slices Snack (pre workout, 1 hour before) - 1/2 Whey protein shake (10g whey), I also take creatine (5g), another supplement Snack (post workout, 30 mins after) - Whey protein shake (20g whey), accompanied by L-glutamine (5g) which helps with recovery Dinner - grilled chicken fajitas - 2 while-wheat tortillas, 4oz chicken breast 1/4 cup of light cheese, 1/4 cup of salsa and 1/4 cup of onions and green peppers Snack (before bed) - at this point i drink a milk protein, its a much slower release protein and keeps your muscles supplied through the night.
