Chris' cut for Thailand trip

Posts: 9,834 Member
I'm heading to Thailand in late March for 3 weeks for my 30th with my GF and a few other friends. WIll be doing some muay thai over there also. Need to be fit and preferably a tad leaner.
Current stats:
5'8" (not expecting this to change
)
83.8kg
Accumeasure calipers
chest 5mm
abs 16mm
thigh 6mm
BF per US army formula 14.94%.
And I was dexa scanned at 10.1% 3 weeks ago but I was a tad leaner then so probably not too far off the mark.
measurements:
chest: 100.5cm
waist: 82cm
hips: 101cm
bicep:33.7/37.3cm & 32.6/36.7cm
forearm: 30.5cm
thigh:57.8cm and 59.5cm
calf:38cm
neck:38cm
In looking back, I'm about just about the same stats as I was before my last cut in August 2012. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/717536-chris-davey-s-shredding-log However, I've put another 15kg on my DL and 10kg on bench.
Current max lifts:
squat: 185kg
bench: 105kg
deadlift 220kg
Also, the main motivator for me is that I'm going in my first strongman competition in April 21st and would much rather compete in the less than 80kg class. Only 5 people entered in it (about 20 in 90kg class) and I will be doing the following:
Farmers walks for 20m at 160kg
deadlift for reps in 90s 180kg
log press for reps in 90s 70kg
tyre flip 20m (approximately 220kg)
atlas stone over 1.2m yoke 75kg
Can't wait

Average cal goal for the week 2500. Minimum P 180g, F 60-80g, C = the rest.

That's the good thing about these transormation "challenges", you can start from whereever and as long as there is some changes in the pics it's all good. Just a good motivational tool IMO

Thanks Rayman! We are not the least bit competitive either ;-)0

No, neither of you are competitive at all. My bet is you're still holding a grudge from the weetbix comp :laugh: .
From what Ive seen on here if there are two things I never want to go up against Chris in its squats and eating!0 -

Salt in the wound boys! I demand a rematch of the weetbix earing comp the day before we fly out!

Chins were neutral grip. Bench was pretty tough. Was happy with this session. I couldn't do heavy SOHP because my trap was getting aggravated.
And I trained my first actual client again this week. Already good improvement in only 2 sessions.

Very good But you are supposed to start your own thread to log your progress. Can't have everyone in one thread as it will get VERY confusing

Well it has been crazy around here since Sunday. BIG storms with close to cyclonic winds and a fair bit of rain although not too bad for us directly. Lost power all of Sunday and half of Monday. Then we got half of our house with power again but nothing in the gym so Keola, Muzz and I trained with the garage shut, no lights, fan and just music from my phone. No excuses!
We all live about 100m from the beach and it has been crazy! Keola and I walked along the beach on Sunday morning before it got mega foamy. By Sunday night the foam was up to the buildings on the other side of the road.
Made 91kgx4x4 that I couldn't do last week! Adjusted my grip in a bit and changed my setup order. Seemed to help

Thanks mate. And they typically seem to overpower chest in flat benching which is why I'm trying to incorporate some more direct chest work that doesn't aggravate my shoulder. Looking at those pics, my alignment is a bit average. Need to be more diligent with my rehab stuff.

(was meant to be 155x2x3sets and also last set was meant to be 130x2x3 also) Last rep at 130kg was 2 second pause.
Once again I was in a lightless, fanless, near musicless gym. The sun was going down so I didn't have time to do my assistance stuff. I was pretty dead by that stage anyway. My right trap is still not 100%. I tried using an open palm grip for low bar squats and they felt really good. I did my first set at 140kg high bar too. That is a LOT harder!

Was not feeling it for bench today so I cut it short. After having a think about it I think it was lack of sleep (not for lack of trying!) since it got bloody hot again the last 2 days. Lack of sleep really affects me.
Here is a vid of the body row ups. I didn't know what to call them. I needed another pulling exercise and CBF doing bb or db rows so gave these a crack. There like a low lat pull. I quite like them.

Also, I did my practical exam for Cert 3 of Fitness and passed that. Nothing too difficult So I'm offically allowed to run group fitness classes now. Website is in the works and I've got my KB's so will be organising some more stuff soon.

Today I did some little test circuits on the KB's for my upcoming classes to guage difficulty.
swings x10
R swings x10
L swing x10
R C&P x8
L C&P x8
R snatch x8
L snatch x8
R squat x8
L squat x8
Takes about 5minutes all up and I did it with 16kg and 20kg. 16kg would be comfortable to do for a few rounds. 20kg was tough.
Also 20kg x8x3 sets of push presses with no rest.
And tried out these pause at knees deadlifts like sheiko calls for.
75x8
86x5
98x8
And the rest of the time I spent loosening up my legs on the bag
