Kris Gethin 12-Week Daily Trainer - Week 7: Day 43!

Mr Gethin is a gifted trainer and has obvious physiological competency beyond your average coachI believe, however that shoulders and their pertinant exercises is where mr Gethin truly shines!
By following every shoulder workout to the letter, I've made amazing progress. I whole-heartedly recommend you do the same.
On both round 3 and 4 i spent 70 minutes in the gym, which is another hallmark of a well composed workout (since I'm convinced others easily might shave off 10 minutes compared to my time). TIP: Use "Yoda's Blood and Guts" videos to learn proper warmup (you do not want injury to that devious rotator cuff , take my word for it!! AND GO HEAVY EXTRAORDINAIRE on dbbl millitary press =)

I have a question about decreasing carb intake - there are days where I can only get into the gym around 10pm, should I still cut out the complex carbs for the last couple of meals or should I cut them out earlier in the day and get them in before I work out? Will I still have the energy I need from earlier meals if i cut out complex carbs and just have my meat and veggies before I go to the gym?

EXCELLENT WORKOUT!

On the pulley raises I was only able to complete the rep ranges when I did only 7.5 lbs! And then I dropped to 2.5 lbs! Is it supposed to be THIS hard to do?

i upped my creatine from 5g to 10g a day few weks ago and havent weighed myself for 3 weeks, weighed myself today however i've put on 4 lb??? i been eating right and training hard, i don't get it. but when i look in the mirror i look more cut and better?????

Up until this point I been having nothing but broccoli as my fibrous carb, what other types of vegetables can I add to my diet? Thanks in advance! I have lost 30 pounds so far.

The negative reps on the cable delt raises were amazing! Felt a serious, serious burn !

Start of Week 7 today, feeling great. check out my progress photos, dropped 7 pounds this week which is amazing cause the weight slowed down for a while. I upped the intensity last week and changed diet, thought i was going to have to cut big amount of carbs this week but going to stick with the same as last week since i got good results. Shoulders Calves Abs 25 min Cardio 150 twists complete, 1 cardio session remaining twists and 4 meals throughout day. If anyone has questions let me no, im sponsored for bodybuilding and have competition on May 12th!

Great workout! My energy and strength has increased dramatically. My weight loss has slowed down quite a bit, am noticing I'm getting more and more cut as of recently. Not too worried about the weight loss at this point of the program as i can already tell the fat is being replace with muscle. I'm really looking forward to the beginning of the DTP phase next week.

my weight loss has been minimal and has plateaud badly besides. i've only been eating the carb amounts that he recommends dropping down to today. a full cup of oatmeal in the morning is 2 servings and was always way too much for me. should i still drop further? i'm sick of looking at the **** fat on my stomach!

question: had a wedding this weekend and unfortunately ate horribly. do you guys suggest starting all the way over, or is staying at week 7 fine?

Just started week 7 and I'm at 167 lbs, started at 190. Should I still be losing weight or should I increase my portions.

Woke up today and weighed myself. I dropped 4 lbs this week. I started this program weighing 225 lbs. Now at the midway point, I'm at 201lbs. I will not be making any adjustments to my diet as I think I'm losing weight at a good pace. Sometimes I worry I'm losing muscle. I mean I can see a difference in the mirror (for once in my life I can actually see my abs starting to pop) and I can see myself getting cut in a few areas, but I'm not sure I'm gaining any muscle or strength (at least I cannot tell at this point). I guess only time will tell as Kris states you will began to see significant results till the last 4-6 weeks.

The one thing I am bummed about is that I have a flare up in my low back. Have had flare ups here and there for years now, and after that last leg day that I did, it's been bothering me since. Yesterday I felt pretty good actually and I was working out my back! But today I woke up extremely soar from the low back. But these flare ups are weird cause as soon as I get the blood flowing down there, the pain either minimizes or subsides all together. But when Im at rest and get up....oh boy I feel like an old man = ( Well, off to the gym I go in the next hour or so. I really hope tommorows day off will help me with this flare up...now that I would want Kris to take 2 days off in a row, he's only taking one day off lol

so we are still to do 25 min cardio ever day at the end of the workout and beggining(or in the AM) yeah? so 2 sets of 25 min of cardio at 130BPM heart rate?

I didn't have access to the pulley cables today. Instead, I used the flex straps attached to a dumbbell - HOLY CRAP - hands down the best delt exercise I've ever done. Three days later and I'm still feeling some effects.

I feel much healthier than when I began this program. I am however disappointed in the progress I have seen. I haven't weighed myself in 2 weeks because I want to see a significant change. I have put in the work and only skipped out on the cardio at times, but have always tried to make up the time. I am in week 7 and just expected so much more. Any suggestions out there?
