DeLoading

[bigcityboy]

I had heard alot about deloading from a lot of people. My gains were not dry and I was steady complaining after 8 years any dieting down or cardio and My arms legs "muscles shrivled up" literally. I ended up getting mad and just strait cutting constantly for about 1 year and 5 months. I was not that big when I became frustrated about the dieting 205lbs. My chest I thought was huge almost 50" and My arms puny 1/4" away from 16. I was gaining strength steady. I also changed My routine to a 7-14 day split ate maintanence, and did at least 20hrs of cardio per month I lost 30Lbs.
So now I'm back getting back on a regular routine, already I've gained 1 lb in 1 week. I don't eat breakfast or lunch.
My routine looks like this
Monday
Legs stomach and chest
Thursday back shoulders and arms
9 sets each for 10 reps
I walk at least 1 hour per day.
My goal is Dry gains. Am I on the right track?

dont' eat breakfast and lunch put your body in survival mode aka "grab and store"....it's a pain in the butt,but 5-6 small meals a day.....

OP, are you eating only one meal a day? That'll never build muscle!

I'm trying to get around being Huge since I received mostly negative comments from my peers, stuff like "Well I taylor my clothes" as they walked past, or "Hey Rocky". I was not looking to be a Champ,I Just wanted to look good in the bedroom.
Anyways, If I just eat in moderation won't I still in say 2 or three more years get those hard earned gains back or was it all the diet? I did use to eat at least 4 times per day around 200g's of protien and up with little 30g's fat and 200g's of carbs mostly potatoes and oat meal.

Well you are your own barometer,and we all are different...I'm cleaning up my diet and i am already feeling the drag,I know it'll pass....think about those negative comments...who do they make you feel?

[namtrag]

so you made great gains on 1900 calories a day? Weird

They made Me fell uncomfortable.

[bigcityboy]

I use to eat about 2700 calories

Does anyone else find this really hard to read?

Does he want to cut, bulk or what? And what does "looking good in the bedroom have to do with deloading????

[LyingSac]

hmmm.So they made you feel uncomfortable,why?....you've worked hard,back in college i would go jogging at night,and everytime i passed my room my roommate would yell "hey Rocky" in front of anyone who was there.I would just mutter "*******"under me breath and keep going.It's good to care about what other people think,but only to a certain degree or percentage.Wouldn't you agree?

Well if the gal you bring into the bedroom is a big load things may not be looking to good. Just a guess...

Confused myself....math doesn't work on the 2700 k/cals with macros listed and anyone who mentions skipping meals in their thread is probably not "bodybuilding"

[namtrag]

I use to eat about 2700 calories

200g carbs=800
200g protein=800
30g fat=270

1870, just sayin

Doing 9 sets of 10 every workout is kind of strange too, IMO

4 sets of 4, or 3 sets of 5 different exercises is SOP in bodybuilding.

I read it three times, and still have no clue what OP is saying, or asking. Done.

[LyingSac]

He needs to deload,he got that part right,but not his body.I guess the problem i got is I'll play other peoples games.Call me rocky I might call you Opie.Say i tailor my suits.I'll say "you could use a little make over yourself"...eventually they tire of their own game.I just don't know why those comments would bug somebody.....know what i mean.

[namtrag]

I like the one where he said he got too big at 205lbs and people were giving him ****.

[LyingSac]

[namtrag]

Yes, I agree. I think that most people that make comments about people that are in shape and take care of themselves are really jealous deep down inside since they don't have the motivation or discipline to do it themselves.
