Man that does sux - On the bright side more time to train / sleep

I haven't really been posting my sessions here, because they generally suck. I am making some progress, but I'm such an ass on the weekends I get very demotivated on Mondays.. I eventually make it through and get my good numbers up, and my bad numbers down... but until I figure sh!t out in my head....not much else to say. All I want to do is bulk, but I know I'll just get fat from doing it wrong. I'll figure out how to eat cleanly one way or another...

Check this out mang, might help enlighten you to bulk strategies.

[ricka182]

So I just realized that in my quest to cut, I was unknowingly slowing my own progress...I think. I just added up my total cals, and based off what I have written as my daily diet I only hit about 1200 calories!? That's with a few extra here and there in case I have an extra piece of bacon or sausage or egg or whatever... And that is pretty much the only fat I eat too, and no carbs really at all.. I need to eat more...so hard to eat more when I don't feel hungry, and I want to lose weight..

Oh wait, add another 230 for my PWO shake, but that's still only 1500 maximum a day...

Oh wait, again..I forgot how much of an ass I am on the weekend and lose 70% of the previous weeks progress. Yeah, that's probably it.. Sorry, just venting out frustrations... I'm about to just say F the cut and start a good clean bulk.. Although, if I'm not really hungry all day now eating so low, how the hell am I going to stuff myself when I would need to eat close 3K cals a day... Eh, whatever it is, it is... I am a lot stronger now than last year, so I do have some progress to look back on...

[shaolinkiwi]

ricka post your cutting routine plz and what your most consistent diet is along with what times of the day your eating it.

If your good during the week letting go on weekends shouldn't hurt too much.

So far on my cut I'm down 2% maybe more in BF and still weighing the same, and get this lifts are going up! Even on restricted cals

EDIT:
Run your eyes over this article too bro.

http://labrada.com/blog/get-lean/sta...-staying-lean/

[ricka182]

Shao, as requested... just c/p from my log.. I redid some math, and got my cals up a bit, as I forgot about the milk in my PWO shake, but at my size of 230+, under 2000 cals should be giving me better results I would think. Also, for supps I'm taking 2 Adrenalean, 4x a day; and Lean Xtreme at 2/2/1/1 a day..all pills taken before I workout, nothing but Multi-V, Joint-V and Fish Oil taken after I lift... And that's what I eat pretty much every day, sans the sub..that's usually 6oz ham. Workout is 3x a week, starting around 4pm..

Oh and, maybe I was wrong about not losing.. My waist is down another 1/2", but I suck at measuring it..always thinking I'm either letting it out too far or sucking it in...I try to take a deep breath and then exhale and measure..

Diet

Same as usual, with a bigger dinner though..

3 eggs w/cheese, 2 bacon @ 6:15am -- 4 sausage links @ 9:45am -- 5oz grilled chicken @ 12:35pm -- 1 fruit cup @ 2:40pm -- PWO 2 scoops ON 100% w/ 2c milk sipped from 5:45pm to 6:45pm -- Large grilled chicken sub with provo and 4 slices bacon @ 6:50pm

I know, the large sub...but I had to stop in my buddies pizza shop to place a party order for my work, and I said F it...I'm getting a sub. I figure with a good workout today, it can't hurt that much. Seeing as I lost 4 pounds today, I think I'll be okay with 1 lousy damn sub..

Session Summary

Only an okay session..felt kind of weak throughout, but still got my core lifts in. Starting to lower weights again, because I felt I was pushing too fast, and losing proper form.

Flat Bench -- 150 x12 x3 -- Also did 10 push-ups before & after to stretch really good. Really good form I think. The J hooks suck on my gym, so it's hard to keep the shoulders back when lifting on the rack..

Lat Pull Down -- 125 x10 x3 -- Harder than usual, but still got the bar down below my chin.

Standing Press -- 105 x10 x2 + 5 reps -- Don't like this lift at all. I prefer the behind the neck standing press instead.

Squat -- 105 x12 x3 -- The big drop in weight was to concentrate on form. I think I'm doing it right, keeping my heels down and not leaning forward too far.

Arms -- Tricep Push Down & Straight Bar Curl supersetted -- 70 x10 x3 -- Easy on both sides, could go a lot higher but will stick here for now.

Traps -- 145 x12 x3 -- Thinking of just going full out heavy as **** on these next time...

[shaolinkiwi]

nothing but Multi-V, Joint-V and Fish Oil taken after I lift...

Here I assume you also meant to add in your PWO shake, if not you better start taking it straight after your workout. But you know better than that

3 eggs w/cheese, 2 bacon @ 6:15am
4 sausage links @ 9:45am
5oz grilled chicken @ 12:35pm
1 fruit cup @ 2:40pm
PWO 2 scoops ON 100% w/ 2c milk sipped from 5:45pm to 6:45pm
Large grilled chicken sub with provo and 4 slices bacon @ 6:50pm

First off sausages aren't the best thing on a regular basis for cutting as they are mostly fat. If you going to have them change up to low fat kinds

Low Fat Chicken Sausage
Serving: 2 (50g)
Carbs: 0
Fiber: 0
Fat: 3
Energy: 295

Compared too:

Beef Sausage
Serving: 1 (50g)
Carbs: 3
Fiber: 1
Fat: 9
Energy: 535

The timing between meals is pretty good as is cals consumed. Otherwise just be patient and consistent. It takes a long time to reduce over body fat and weight, more often that not others will notice it first and say something. That's when you know your on the right track.


Read over this article will help you figure out what sort of meals to eat at what times throughout the day. I found it to be pretty good.

Yeah, I have my PWO within a few minutes of finishing my workout. Usually half before, and half after I shower.

I got into eating sausage links as part of my keto diet. I figured higher fat/protein and lower carb worked before... The sausages I have are 200 cals for 3 links, for the regular maple. I usually go with the lite(50% pork/50% turkey) maple, which are 120 cals for 3 links.

I have had some people say I look lighter, which is always encouraging...My biggest "piss me off" is my belly, which will probably the last thing to lean out.. As I've said before...I love beer so much, I brew my own. I just don't drink any during the week, except maybe 1 or 2 on Friday nights. I don't go beer crazy on the weekend either..but I do enjoy a few more on Saturdays..

Man do I hear that, drinking is a bane for me also, more in summer.

What do you brew? Larger fan myself.

[BenReilly]

killer on the deads man, y the rush to get rid of the war,? i only take 1 scoop per workout, do u get more kick outta 2 or 3, i definitelly like that stuff, just finished my tub of scivation bcaa's (that never felt like it did ne thing tho)

Cause I have a tub of Purple Wraath that I am DYING to open, lol. I'm kinda OCD about my preworkouts as I only open 1 then I'll go through it. Whereas my proteins right now I have 6 different tubs open lol.

[ricka182]

Man do I hear that, drinking is a bane for me also, more in summer.

What do you brew? Larger fan myself.

I do mostly ales, because lagers require more time to ferment, and in much more controlled conditions. I could get one lager going in my kegerator, but then I wouldn't have enough room in it to keep the kegs. I suppose if I bottled a couple of batches, I could do a lager and let it sit at 45* for a few months. Of course, now is a good time to do so, because the house is cool enough to keep an ale fermenting in the kitchen..but, I can't brew during the Winter because of snow and cold... During the Summer, it's too warm in the house for anything to ferment outside the kegerator..so I'm stuck in the middle.

I prefer a good ale anyway over a lager. My favorite is a clean Belgian pale or Wit... This will be my 4th or 5th year brewing, and I only have one medal for a 3rd place. I plan on upping that this year with my IPA, and my Imperial IPA..both are going to kick some major ass...

Man..you kill me with "...limit myself to 6 beers.." haha I swear, when I'm done with this cut I'm taking 2 days off with no restraints. The first will just be all my favorite foods and some homebrew keg draining..the next day will be enjoying some of my more expensive beers I've collected over years. I may even crack open a Westvletern 8 or Rochefort 10 I have..been aging for almost 4 years now.. damn, I'm so thirsty now. haha

A National Beer fest!??! WTF America?! Where is my National Beer Fest? Oh wait, it's called the Great American Beer Festival, and it's help every year...convienently only 1981 miles from my house. Someday, I'll get out there... Although, I may be getting to the American Homebrewing Association festival this year, which is in Ohio. Not too far, but certainly not a few hours a way.

And of New Zealand, I'm also making a pale wheat ale with all Riwaka hops later this year.. How does that sound to a semi-Riwaka native... ok, so maybe not native, but you're still a lot closer than I am..haha
