The Muscle Couple is putting together another real life experiment for a male looking to lose bodyfat to appear “beach ready” for his Honeymoon on Oct 19th.
Keld Wenge has dramatically changed his long term fitness goals in the last year. Tightening up and creating a more sculpted appearance is his main focus.
Here are his own words:
For example, I no longer have much interest in increasing my bench, but rather in creating a more sculpted chest. The same is consistent across most body parts, with the exception of my legs, where I would like to put on a little more mass (especially my calves).
In sumary, my short term goals for the honeymoon are to get leaner and more carved, especially in the mid-section.
Long term my goals are much the same. I would also like a be at a target weight of about 210 pounds, which means packing on a little lean muscle as well.
For the time being, I am starting your “12 Weeks to Shredditivity Diet”, and am planning on utilizing your new “Current Workout” you recently posted.
Let me know if there are any specific recommendations or additions you have, including a cardio and ab routine.
Keep the great content coming – I’m slowly working my way through it!
Thanks Keld for reading the blog. We’re more than happy to see you through to attaining your short and long term fitness goals.
Apparently and judging from your photos, you’ve been training productively for a long time. At quick glance we estimate you to be at about 11-14% bodyfat which is excellent. You need work on your lower legs but everywhere else shows evidence of long term productive training. Great job!
Now to your requests:
The Ab routine is already included in the Current Workout.
For your Cardio routine we suggest the following:
- Monday-20 Minutes of Burst Intervals on a Bike-Elliptical or Jumping Rope first thing in the AM on an Empty Stomach
- Tuesday-25-40 Minutes of Moderate Intensity Cardio at Night Post Training elevating your Heart Rate to 140BPM or above for 70% of the time.
- Wednesday-Same as Monday
- Thursday-Same as Tuesday
- Friday-Same as Mon &Wed
- Sat and Sunday-Rest but try to be active by walking as much as possible
Here are Keld’s “Before Photos”!

Good Mass-Just Needs Refining!

Good Back Width--Needs Work on Hamstrings and Calves-CARDIO BABY!

Just Needs to Carve Up Midsection and Lose about 4% Bodyfat!
You’ve got about 11 weeks until you jump on a plane. Hop to it.
Please provide the site weekly updates as to your progress with photos. Feel free to keep a diary and email it to us so we can document it for all the readers to see.
Best of luck brother!

Can’t wait to see how this turns out..I continue to await updates on the other two you are still running.
BTW, wish you guys would post something for us hard-gainers. It’s hard to find good information (online and otherwise) for the few of us going in almost the opposite direction as most people.
