I think that I'm zeroing in on the
proper diet with lots of protein (
salmon/tuna), greens and lower carb portions (
rice mostly), not to mention success in keeping away from ice cream this summer.
However I'm confused about the proper portions.
On one hand I want to build muscle mass (focusing on the chest).
And on the other hand I want to lose fat on lower belly and sides of lower back.
Right now I'm trying not to starve myself, want the energy and strength for the workouts,
that has first priority.
NOTE: about the "
car guy" bench-set, after nearly a week of rain and high humidity the sand in the tires picked up moisture/weight. This type of design will make judging improvements more difficult as it is subject to environmental factors.
I set up some long wood flower boxes I had lying around under the length of the tires. The plan is should I have to lower the barbell on top of the chest, the boxes will support the tires (
sort of brings up the floor level). I have been fortunate enough not to have to test this design in action, working on getting something better like a proper cage.
