Link to a look at the program- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb6nM326ZRs

You can either do the "huge" plan or "lean" plan. I have decided to go for the lean plan as I don't want to get too big or too heavy. This is mainly because I don't want my speed to suffer in rugby.




















The picture above you can see the schedule of the body beast lean workout. It has 3 stages. Build, Bulk and beast (cut). Not only will I be following this, I will be playing rugby, swimming and playing football additionally.

The first stage helps Build the muscle, it gets them used to working out and being used.
Bulk the longer of the three stages. This stage helps you to gain size in your muscles by really pushing you to your limits.
And finally Beast, which is the cutting stage this is where you get rid of any excess fat left on your body.

Each stage you will need to differentiate your calorie intake. This is dependent on yourself and your personal needs to continue living healthy.
Build- needs more calories than usual to help the muscles grow evidently to be able to build.
Bulk- also needs an increase in calories to allow the muscles to grow bigger and stronger.
Beast- needs a decrease in calories, with smaller portions, this will help to lose the fat. I will be cutting of some of my carbs at this point.




Going Ahead

I have decided to back my original idea and go ahead with it starting from the beginning. Over Christmas as any person does, I ate..... a lot.  From this I decided to start the typical 'new year, new start diet'. The reason I have started this diet is firstly I am not happy with the way I look.  Secondly I feel it will help my performance in rugby.  I plan to be my desired size, strength and fitness in three months. I have previously done a similar work out, so know I can achieve the results.
Here you can see the transformation I achieved before in the timeframe of  3 months. This was achieved with a workout program called P90X Produced by a company called beach body. For the programme I intent to start  will be going to the same place to get my next program however the new workout is called Body Beast.

Ready to start

I am close to being ready to start posting on my blog and start my project. I am waiting for a tutorial to get the all clear on my idea. I have already started my project on the 6th as I need as much time to show my transformation. I am a little bit behind but as soon as I get the conformation to go ahead I will post everything to keep you informed.
