Day 1 of the athletic physique program

Hey guys,

I am due to embark on Bryan Kavanagh's athletic physique development program to see if I can get in the best shape of my life in the next 90 days or so.

The program itself is based around clean eating, regular heavy resistance training, high intensity intervals, and metabolic workout "finishers".

So why am I doing this?

Basically I have always kept myself fit by playing football and training specifically towards this. This has meant my aerobic fitness has been fine, I have been able to manage my weight (as my genetics tend to suggest I should struggle with this), but I have never needed an athletic physique.

For the past few months I have been gradually increasing the amount of weight training sessions I have been performing but with no real consistency, more so just because I enjoy it than to for any specific goal.

Now though I have decided to step this up a level, so after meeting Bryan at the Fitness Entrepreneur Bootcamp in Nottingham in April I have decided to take up his offer of trialing his program.

The program took Bryan's initial trialist Ian from generally fit to fitness model competition silver medalist in less than 90 days, and whilst I'm not expecting the same (I'm certainly not intending to compete) I am hoping to see a significant transformation and a more lean athletic physique :)

What are my goals?

my main aim is to get my body fat percentage below 10%, my lowest this yr has been around 13%, highest about 18% and it currently sits around 14% so this will be a great change.

By achieving this body fat percentage it would be awesome to see some abdominal definition, and I would also like to significantly increase my upper body musculature to the point there is a noticable difference between day 1 and day 90 :)

So here we go this is my Day 1 picture and my analysis and I will follow this up every two weeks throughout the program so keep checking back for progress reports.


So currently
Weight 77kg,
Body fat 14%
Lean Mass 66.2kg
Fat Mass 10.78kg

Professional looking picture huh :) you can be guaranteed there will be no photoshopping here (even if it would save my embarressment haha)

Anyhew, this is going to be a big challenge with some gruelling sessions, training 5 times a week minimum, and I will have to make some sacrifices such as avoiding alcohol throughout the world cup and friends/cousins weddings so I would ask that you provide me as much support as possible leaving me comments either here or on facebook to keep me motivated :)

Thanks,

Nathan
