Over the past three months, I've been lifting pretty hard and doing some cardio. I've had some nice gains, but summer is right around the bend. I'm not sure if I want to continue focusing on building muscle, or if I should switch over to maintenance and focus on burning fat. I probably need to cut about 10 to 15lbs to bring the abs out.

With that said, recently I started reading "Huge in a Hurry" by Chad Waterbury. The program sounds really good. You are basically doing total body workouts three times a week with compound exercises that hit mutliple muscles at once. He has three progams within it, Get Big, Get Strong, and Get Lean. The problem I have is you have to do a three week Get Ready phase. With that, I'd be coming right up on summer.

With this in mind, I am going to use some of the workouts from HIAH, and do my own maintenance phase with three full body workouts per week. Then I'm going to blow up some cardio (hopefully HIIT, high intensity interval training) the remaining days to burn the fat off. With the correct diet, hopefully I can maintain or even gain some muscle plus burn the fat off and get the abs popping.

I'll do my best to come back to this blog and comment on my progress. DDay is Monday March 30 with a hopeful VDay of the day the pools open. Onces the abs are out, I plan on going full speed at Chads Get Big and Get Bigger programs.
