A brief update on what’s going on with me and my geeky fitness routine.

So the last 2 months I’ve really been trying to put on some lean muscle before the fat season begins.  I can’t say that I’ve “bulked up” but I put on a decent amount of weight without any additional fat mass.

I used a lot of heavy weights, large movements, and long rest periods.  Oh yeah, I also stuffed my face with plenty of healthy, organic and damn good tasting food.

On a side note; Whole Foods has this bacon that I swear is about as thick as a leather belt.  No joke.

From now until Thanksgiving I’ll be using a drawn out version of Mike and Alwyns Warp Speed Fat Loss.  It won’t be as intense, but all the principals will be the same.  I’m too much of a wuss to do their program.  Even if it is just 28 days long.  Way too brutal for me.  Plus, Halloween is right around the corner.  I loves me some kit kat bars, reeses, and M&Ms.  That’s really why I’m doing all of this.  So I can enjoy my favorite seasons without the worry of putting on too much body fat.

Well there it is.  My weak attempt at an update.  I’ll leave you with a clip from my last heavy workout I did this past week.  I eventually got my dead lift back to 365 pounds.  Not bad for someone who had a jacked neck and a dislocated rib just 4 months prior.

In the past few weeks I’ve received several requests from readers wondering what my actual daily fitness routine looks like.  I’m not big on talking about myself but I figured I’d give it a shot.  So here’s a little bit about what I do and why I do it.  In honor of one of my favorite comics I shall name the category War Journal.

Long Term Goals:  Functionally; I like being athletic and mobile so I’d love to maintain that.  Aesthetically; my main goal is to look like a marvel comics super hero.  Not so much the Hulk or Beast I’m trying to be realistic here.  More along the lines of somewhere between Spiderman and Captain America.  I’m actually beginning to think maybe the reason I love submission wrestling so much is because I get to wear spandex and no one thinks anything of it.  Hmmm.  I should probably seek help.

Short Term Goal:  Fat season is approaching.  For me it really starts around Halloween and goes straight through New Years.  So currently I’m trying to put on as much muscle as possible before October.  Muscle being the big driver of your metabolism, it comes in handy when you start to consume lots of calories.  I’m gonna need all the help I can get to burn them off.  I figure around the beginning of October I’ll start to focus more on fat burning workouts.  That way I’ve got some momentum when the actual fat season hits.

Here’s just an example of one of my workout days during this muscle building period.

Workout B (Tuesdays)

Sumo Dead Lift 285lb x 5reps x 5sets

Pull Ups BW+10lb x 5reps x 5sets

DB Bench Press 90lb x 5reps x 5 sets

Pretty simple really.  Only three exercises.  I rest about 120 seconds between sets and I finish the whole thing in less than 45 minutes.  That’s including warming up.  Later in my war journal I will try to include the rest of my workout days.

Thanks for reading.  Any questions please feel free to email me at thebuffgeek@gmail.com
