Randy’s 2013 Workout / Training Plan

Randy’s 90 Day Body Transformation Workout Plan

Well, what a great kick off we had last Saturday at Energy Fitness! I’m fired up to bring it this year. I seem to be more determined to achieve much greater results than last year! The good news for me is I will not be traveling this year like I did last year. I will be more consistent in my workouts and meal planning,

I started the HFC with a weight of 195 pounds, with a 35″ waist. I know I need to get my waist in the 32- 31 and half inch range. I need to lose the fat and maintain the lean body mass. So I’m estimating to weigh about 183 in total weight. (lose 15 pounds of fat and gain about 3 pounds of muscle)

Nutrition Supplements

  • Protein Powder: EAS vanilla whey protein powder, I like the taste and I can still buy it on-line at Sam’s Club for about $38 for 5 pounds.
  • Creatine Monohydrate: Fitness Labs German Creatine
  • Glutamine: L-Glutamine, help builds and preserves lean body mass.
  • Fish Oil: I take fish oil capsules, Flax-seed oil (in my smoothies or salad),
  • Flax Oil
  • Multi-mineral Vitamin
  • Potassium
  • Calcium
  • Vitamin B complex
  • Vitamin C, D, and E
  • Triple flex for joint support

The Workouts

For cardio I will use the elliptical  trainer, rowing machine, and or Schwinn Air dyne. I am doing 30 minutes for each session and will slowly ramp up the time as we go along, currently I’m doing four 30 minute workouts every week,

I am combining the P90X workouts with my free weight workouts. I lift 3 to 4 times per week, each workout is about 1 hour.

Below is a sample of the free weight workout from last year,

 

Monday

  • Chest-
    • Flat bench press 4 sets of 20 @135, 15@185 , 12 @ 205, and 8 @ 225.
    • Incline Dumbbell press 3 sets of 50, 60 , and 70.
    •  Incline flyes 3 sets of 40,45,50.
  • Shoulders-
    • Seated military DB press, 3 sets 45, 50, 55.
    • Lateral DB raises 3 sets of 25,30,35 and
    •  Bent over lateral DB raises of 3 sets of 30. (I try to get the front , side and rear deltoids (shoulder muscles) in this series.
  • Triceps – Last but not least on this work out is my triceps (back of arm) my favorite body part to work out. I do 3 sets of Tricep pull-downs on the machine with as much weight I can do with good form. (Weight depends if it’s a single or double pulley system) Next is the rope pull-down on the same machine. ( the key here is when you pull down the rope to spread the rope to the outside of your waist.) Next I turn my body 180 degrees and do overhead Tricep extensions with the rope and do 3 more sets. (the weight is a little less here.) I top it off with a couple of sets of DB Tricep extensions with 35#.
