I got a job as a lifeguard(I work at an indoor pool on saturdays) earlier than I expected and now I need to get ripped. I was orginally going to do this six weeks before summer started and my job. Bear with me, I have not done any research yet and I just want some input to see what to actually research.
What I was planning on doing was just doing 30 minutes of cardio (heartrate at 120 to 140) after my usual weight training workout to burn fat so I could get a six pack. I'm pretty lean as of now , but not roadmap veins etc. My father says i'm around 10% BF but i'd say i'm problably around 15-17%. I really only have a vague thought though.
Another thing bad, but possibly good about my situation is that my father and I are on a routine call EDT, or "escalated density training". It is based on doing 12 sets with 5 reps with high weight that you tired by the fifth rep.12 seconds of rest in between sets and the time limit on sets is 7 mins 30 sec. mon weds fri. ( I try do train in martial arts,working on some tricks,and yoga and streching on tues and thurs and weekends)
This routine itself is made to get one's body in an anabolic state, burning fat and building "dense" muscle. Mostly though i'm in a growth phase, not really tracking my food intake just eating "clean". I was planning on ripping this summer.
I am 15 yrs old turning sixteen in december about 5'10 150lbs and I don't have a six pack but i'm pretty lean and musclular. I eat preety well. the following is my usual diet:
Breakfast- 1 bowl of high fiber cereal/w milk, 1 hard boiled egg, 1 apple, 1 banana, 1 multivitimin, 1 fish oil tablet.
lunch @school- If i'm lucky the school has a decent salad bar on mon weds fri which i usually eat 1 salad with a protein (chicken or tuna salad usually) and two wheat rolls, 1 juice 1 milk, 1 orange, crackers. and various other things at times. lots of veggies.
after school snack- oatmeal with peanut butter, 1 cup of yogurt or cottage chese.
dinner- usually a protein with a salad and some sort of carb (potatos or rice mostly) if i don't like the meal or its too unhealthy I make a three egg omlet with a salad and a carb.
now I don't know how many kcals that is at all. I eat when I need it.
My vexation is how am I going to supplement my current routine with something that will give me the results I want. I just need something I can use to do this and keep my current routine the way it is. I don't really think that's possible but I kinda could use some input on how to go about getting "ripped" anyway. I tried last summer and I just got skinny. I'll implement some things right away problably anyway.
