GUTS v.2

[gbjj]

Well my first go around at GUTS only lasted around 4 weeks and I allowed life to get in the way and it went by the wayside and I reverted back to just doing adhoc Routines here and there. :disapointed:..

:soldier:no more... I'm back and ready to go about this like it was a marathon and not a sprint....

I'll be posting my status periodically:
From the start:

#1. First 2 weeks I"m going to merely take it slow, focus on just getting my body used to doing this routine 5 - 7 times a week.

#2. I'm going to be doing the 500 pushups a day GTG program alongside of this. (Same as the GTG I'm taking it slow and allowing my body to acclimate.

...... more to follow!!

well..... made it through the first week without a hitch... feeling great and quite motivated to amp things up but I promised myself to stick to the plan of just acclimating my body again to the routine and not pushing things along... ( I have a bad tendency to overdo things and burn out, or get injured )

Took my measurements, made some great goals, 6 week, 12 week, 3 Month etc... I'm going to take a few photos as well and will be posting the before and after shots..

Currently doing the following:
GTG pushup routine
G.U.T.S routine

Notes:
Pretty easy week, no outstanding numbers and really every workout was all no pain.
Doing standard pushups for the first 2 weeks in the GUTS routine mostly furey on the GTG
Furey Squats I'm going only just to parralel or slighlty below, I'm very focused on developing my leg strength in a safe manner.

Okay... Week #3 of 52

I'm on my third week of GUTS and for sure I'm in this for the long haul, taking my time and in no hurry to really get to where I"m going so to speak. I'm on a 52 week GUTS program and consider this a marathon.
Currently I'm pretty happy with my physique other than a little excess around the midsection.
Measurements as follows:

Height: 5'10
Weight: 185
Chest: 45 / 45.5
Waist: 37.25 / 36
Hips: 40
Thigh: 22
Calf: 15
Biceps: 13 / 14.75
Neck: 16

The only short term goal related to my measurements is reduce my waist to 35/34 ( 6 week goal) 34/33 (12 week goal)

I started out the first two weeks merely going through the motions so to speak, I was in no way trying to push myself just making sure I was fitting this into my day, no stopwatch involved at all.
Here was the basic structure of week #1 and 2

PU: 15
ASU: 25-30
PU: 15
FS: 40-60
PU: 15
ASU: 25-30
PU: 15
MILO: 20/15
Pullups ( Ladder system ) 1-2-2-1

With Week Number 1 and 2 completed it was time to add in the time limits and start amping things up (obviously not a lot for most people around here but nonetheless were all at a different place).

Week#3 (I'm halfway through the week but I don't see it changing much between now and Sunday so I'll post it now.

I'm doing this workout every day before work so this is working out great for me ( Mid Morning workout ):

1:00 Min - PU: 20, 10
3:00 Min - ASU: 20,10,5 ( Varies a bit but pretty much it)
1:00 Min - PU: 20, 10
12:00 Min - FS: 20,10,10,10,10,10 ( Varies a bit but pretty much it, usually doens't take me that long to accomplish)
1:00 Min - PU: 20, 10
3:00 Min - ASU: 20,10,5 ( Varies a bit but pretty much it)
1:00 Min - PU: 20, 10
1:00 Min - MILO: 20/15
1:00 Min - PUllups ( Ladder system ) 1-2-2-1

I know this may not seem like a lot, and I'm not working up a great sweat doing it, but it is a great workout for me and I consider this my foundational routine. My knees and legs are giving me trouble and I'm taking it very slow in the Fuery Sqauts. I'm trying to condition them very slowly and do this right sans injury, I'm very focused on training smart and overdoing it on the take it easy side.
