Destination Abs: Week 4 (End of Phase One)
By: Kevin Larrabee, CSCS
Whew…There goes four weeks of intense fat-loss. This was easily the most drastic transformation my body has made since I dropped the initial 35 pounds when I was in high school. Was it as big of a number in terms of pounds? No. But the transformation in the mirror was pretty major. Wow, I can’t believe I made it four weeks. I think the biggest supporting factor was posting on TheFitCast.com each week and receiving comments from you and having that responsibility to not disappoint each week.
Don’t forget that Leigh and I are recording a special podcast this week to discuss the diet and training and answer any questions that you have about the process. Please send questions with the contact page.
Leigh Peele has put together the nutrition portion of this program and I have constructed the training program. If you haven’t read her book The Fat Loss Troubleshoot, you have no idea what you are missing. Leigh has a no bull shit approach when it comes to this stuff. If you are one of those dieters who has smothered the furnace that is your metabolism, Leigh’s book will do the trick to get that fire stoked.
Now time for the pictures:
First up is Front Flexed with Day 1, Day 21, and Day 28
Now for Side. Again, Day 1, Day 21, and Day 28
Finally Back, Day 1 then Day 28
Phase two began today with Chest/Tris. Yeah, I know, it goes against everything I believe in but I need to address some lagging body parts. Strength can sit on the back burner for a bit.
nice progress
Looks like great results from Phase One.
Awesome job!
Two words: Serratus Anterior.
Awesome!
Great work! Do you get to eat more cals for phase 2?
Well done, Kevin! Do you feel any different? Do you have any numbers – lbs or % fat lost?
Wow! We can see ribs now! Fantastic job! Kudos to the awesome Leigh too!!
WOW!!! Nice job! How is your nutrition changing going into phase 2?
Great job Kev (and Leigh), you look sharp man. Well said on the serratus anterior visual. Got a little V-taper going on as well. Keep up the great work bro.
Were the black shorts in the wash? LOL Kidding!
Great progress!
Kevin, I hope that now you are doing a body part based routine, you may change your views about training from black and white upper/lower splits of full body routines only to realising that every system has its place, its just a matter of implementing it correctly, for the correct person at the correct time. I like your show but your views on training always seemed a little polarised, when the best in the business generally seem to have open minds.
Looks good Kevin! Keep it up.. the leaner you get, the more of a difference you will see in the pictures.. the results are only beginning to show! Another couple weeks and you will be a beast
