I've been reading a ton of info here and I like it. I just wanted to get on the board and give some of my back ground info.
This past summer I reached an all time high fat ass weight of 215. I'm 5'10" and 34 years old. I started training again the week of 10/15/07 after getting the worst news of my life, but I'm not gettin into that. I've been getting up at 4:30 AM to do my training due to not having the time or energy to train after work. I have 2 kids that keep me busy when I get home.
When I started doing cardio in the AM, I couldn't make 20 minutes of jogging. I had to jog / walk and sometimes hold on to the rails of the treadmill. Now I can jog for 30-40 minutes at 5-6 mph. I weighed myslef this morning and I'm now 185. The weight is comming off and I love it. My goal is to get lean. I'm trying to pack on some muscle on my delts and legs. I've never trained those muscles like I should have 10 years ago. I'd love to have a 6 pack by July for the beach too.
I've read the 5x5 program and I'm going to start that Sunday. I have my diet in better shape too. Eating clean 5-6 times a day. I know what some guys are going to say - "we need to see your diet". I have not kept track like some of the hard core guys here, but that is going to change soon. Lets just say I made a 100% change for the good in my diet. Beer is very limited. I no longer buy it for the house. Don't eat fast food or junk like I used to.
So there are my stats. Now my question is. How in the hell can I get rid of the fat around my abs? I'm looking for a good training program for them or any tips that have helped you in the past.
Thanks.
