Welcome back! Or if it's your first time here, welcome!
After reading the first blog post again (if you haven't read it yet, I suggest you do it now), I thought some of you may be asking yourselves “how can he be so confident that this program will work?” Let me take some time to explain.
I have followed one of Kris Gethin's 12-week transformations before (12-week hardcore trainer to be exact) and due to my own undoing, it was with out 100% success. I ended up “wussing-out” after 9 weeks after getting a cold, making excuses and creating a defeated mindset instead of picking my chin up and powering on. In saying that, I did lose about 18kg (40lbs) in 9 weeks and put on some solid muscle. So I am certain this program will work, it's all up to the individual and how badly they want it.
The biggest thing I struggled with was accountablilty. I didn't tell many people I was following the program and therefore, if I missed a meal, if I cheated, if I missed a cardio session, only I knew. Which made is very easy to fall off the rails. This is pretty much the main reason of this blog. It says in the book to join “Bodyspace,” (http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/) which is a fitness social networking website to help with accountability and tracking your progress. It was good for various reasons but because I knew no one on it, I could still get away with what I was doing. But this time I will be all over facebook, posting on this blog and I have a training partner with the same goals so it be a WHOLE lot easier.
Yeah, speaking of my training partner, Brock Beazley (of http://www.brockbeazleyphotography.com/ fame, yeah, a shameless plug haha) has decided to do the program with me! So I'll keep you updated about him as well, because being a small-business owner, he will be doing it on a budget and doesn't work a regular “9-5, 5 days a week” week which some of you could relate with.
Anywho, I might leave this post here, short(er) and sweet. But I will be back soon with more detailed posts on my training, nutrition and supplementation as well as a few little tips and tricks I learnt from last time I followed the program. And I will touch more on all the specifics of the program as I get closer to the start date of August 29.
Until then, watch this video. It's the trailer for the Body By Design book, which I complete forgot existed until I had completed the first post. It explains things a little better than I can. Enjoy!
