Leaning out with Muscleology's E'Cinerator

[InfiniteRecomp]

Wow - all bigger movements in one workout. I gotta space them out, else I die.

I'm pretty used to it. Has helped me cut out a lot of unnecessary fluff that I was doing. I train how I compete for the most part.

E'Cinerating the fat--Day 12


Workout
1 arm Gorilla Hang (grip)
4x10-15 seconds

35 minute walk on treadmill at 6% incline and 2.8mph

Workout Rating
10/10

Reflection
Not much to it today, more recovery than anything. I have my heaviest squat day tomorrow and need to be fresh. Last two weeks I went in pretty sore and that is not in the plan this time.

[InfiniteRecomp]

I'm going to try that gorilla hang - just to see if I can hang.

True - if you're competing, true training is replicating. I'm competing for the mirror, and longevity. Maybe that's why my workouts are long and overly complex

I would say that's more the case. I am not too much about aesthetics. That is more of a secondary thing for me. I know I'll never step on stage (I have a very blocky waist). Just want to look better than the average joe at the beach ya know?

[InfiniteRecomp]

I wanna kick sand at the average Joe on the beach. HAHAHAHA - not really, unless he really annoys me.

Don't blame ya man!

Log looking good man.

Side note: how are you like avatar? What's that cost? I've only peripherally looked into but it's piqued my curiosity.

[InfiniteRecomp]

I saw a Layne Norton vid. He was saying that it's like $10 a month. I could be wrong, but that kind of price has me thinking it would be worth a shot. I'd find out within 90 days if it's for me or not. Spend more than that going to a movie.

Yeah, it looks like it's 10 bucks a month. I might give it a go.

Yup it's $10 a month and probably one my best investments I have ever made with my fitness career.

Reflection
Squats went super well!!!! I think I do triples again next week or doubles. Hoping for 445-450 range. Bench needs to start going somewhere. Sumo deads felt easy as all get out. Almost considering making them my competition lift. Body weight is dropping finally.

[eyeguy]

Workouts lookin good. happy weight is coming down

[InfiniteRecomp]

Dang. some solid numbers. I don't plan to be a powerlifter, but would certainly like to improve my lifts on the big 3. It's almost embarrassing how little I push - or pull.

It's getting there. I think I might break 210 by Saturday.

Close grip bench was feeling strong today! Deadlifts went better than last week but they still feel so grindy and slow. Squats were alright. Weight was up a lot on these compared to last weeks session.

Killing the workouts man. How is everything else. Diet and weight

I had issues again last weekend. It's so weird, Monday through Friday I have no problem sticking with my macros and I had been fine beforehand. I think I have had too much free time on the weekends and that has a tendancy to let my mind wander into binge zone. I absolutely love the energy that E-cin is giving me though. I need to come up with a plan of attack for weekends so that I can stick to my macros. Weight was 215 this morning and I think I'll probably be about 210-209 by Saturday. I just need to get one good weekend in to get me back on track.

E'Cinerating the fat--Day 15


Workout

Back and Bicep day, don't remember the specifics.


Workout Rating
10/10

Reflection
Great workout! Felt really strong today, which isn't usual on back day. Pulldown strength has improved a lot. Might be able to start doing some pullups again soon, usually don't because they agitate my shoulders but I figure if I can get my base strength up more I will eventually be able to handle them again.

Great workout and energy. Squats were kinda slow but I made it. Bench was super easy and RDL's were pretty easy as well.

[InfiniteRecomp]

I'm going to try to add more weight on some lifts, even of for only a few reps and work my way up. You inspire me, man.


"Meow" (?) back at ya

[eyeguy]

Weekends are tough for a everyone. My wife and I try to meal prep on the weekend so its alot easier to make sure we don't drift on the plan. But sometimes it happens. Just get back on track and make things happen.

Deload week! Much needed, feeling a bit beat up. Will probably have one more of these before my meet in mid-September. E-Cin kicked hard this morning and killed my appetite all the way up to noon!

[InfiniteRecomp]

Are we on the same schedule? I'm also taking this week to deload and refresh. Not feeling too hungry; but I was last week - like a mofo!

Reflection
Great workout! Easy peasy as a deload should be. Got a bit of a tricep pump too, I like those. Appetite was down again today too! Feeling much better than I was before and I think I know why I kept binge eating... STRESS!!! Added caffeine plus sleep was kind of lacking due to heat and broken AC. I the sleep figured out now so that I'm more comfortable and I think that is why I'm feeling better. Time to shed some of this bloat and finish this log strong!

[InfiniteRecomp]

dang. I swear I'm you, just 'littler'. I'm still waiting on a part to repair my A/C.
