11-14-10 Rest/Football watching morning weight :178.0lbs

After that burrito at 4:30pm yesterday, I was so stuffed that I didnt eat anything till a little after midnight lol. I planned to enjoy a bit more food for my final day of freedom, but just wasn't hungry. Oh well! I'm so excited to get shredded to the bone that it doesn't bother me at all.

I also just finished making a new oddball cheesecake. It's in the oven right now! I'll be enjoying that sucker tomorrow

[Rog447]

You sold on the burrito as soon as i saw the pics.....about to go get one myself .

[extremenergy3]

Nice! Let me know how it is... they're the best around.

I paid $4.88. cool thing is, they're already pre-measured into patties . Easy to log.

I multiplied some of the macros in your food chart.
Some of them come up a calorie or two short or over what you have listed.

Are you using the calorie count on the package?
Or am I being to anal?...

Your numbers don't multiply out on the following;
Am. cheese
oats
Greek yogurt
beef patties.
...maybe more....?

If I'm wrong let me know...

Typically at the end of the day I look at macros versus overall calories.
Most of the ones that are off are underestimated as far as cals go, so that's fine by me

Oats are the default that are on fitday. I never checked those Only off by a few cals though!

[Webber91]

Sub'd.

Lets see what you're made of bro

I agree and I would rather be under by a few than over.

I wasn't sure how tight you were keeping the total daily calories and I was bored
and just felt like running some of the numbers...LOL!

I appreciate it man! I'm pretty anal when it comes to hitting my macros, I'm surprised I didn't add all of them up lol.

misc. Got a whole slew of clients to train today. Stomach still feels kind of messed up from that mexican food the other night lol. I'm ready to deload this week and start fresh this weekend when I get word from Eric! Couldn't be more excited.

I love it - You're just as anal as I am in tracking macros. Glad to see I'm not the only OCD bodybuilder there is. Since it's my off-season I do have limits thoug and I'm glad I don't have to figure out the macros for three sticks of gum anymore.

Lol. Dude I get to the point where I feel that missing 0.2 grams of carbs is going to make a difference between placing 1st and 2nd (in my head at least). I am big time OCD when it comes to eating

Definitely not alone!

I actually don't chew gum because I don't want to track it lol.

[B-Neva]

during prep whenever I went to work I swear I would have like 5 pieces + of gum per shift. I needed like something sweet in my mouth while I had all this food around me (grocery store) or I would go insane LOL

[coloBB]

late... but subbed. Things are looking good man, and you wont be dissapointed with 3DMJ! Oh and I hope you enjoyed that last burrito!

I guarantee that I will be chewing gum and drinking mad amounts of diet soda deep into prep. I don't know how you did it man... I would be too distracted. Working in a grocery store during prep is like having a sex addict work at a porn shop.

Thanks bro. I've seen the work they've done and have been very impressed. That's why I narrowed it down to a couple people and decided on 3DMJ. That burrito was great! I should post a fat offseason pic from before my last prep in 2009. I was eating AT LEAST three of those suckers a week.

11-16-10 Upper De-load
morning weight : 178.0lbs

flat bb bench
155x8 (3 sets)

pull ups
bwx5 (3 sets)

standing oh db press
40'sx8 (3 sets)

cgbp
135x8

bb curl
45x8

All sets down with slow tempo and strict form. Boring workout lol. Don't know what was up with weighing 178 this morning, probably due to sodium intake, lack of bm, etc

Out of curiosity, how does everyone else handle de-loads? Especially during a cut/maintainence phase. I know there are several ways of going about it such as : decrease in weight with the same volume, decrease in volume with the same weight, etc... but how does everyone handle caloric intake during a deload while cutting. Do you keep calories the same, raise them, lower them?

nutrition



misc. got some clients at the pt studio today. I have a bit of free time today, so I'm going to catch up on my reading . also picked up some trader joe's turkey chili and going to give that a whirl tomorrow.

[Bnizzle163]

EDIT : I just changed the calories on my low carb tortilla on fitday. apparently the company thinks it's fine to count only "net carbs" and exclude fiber from the overall calorie content. They are 78 cals versus 50. How do companies get away with this shenanigans?

Absolutely. Makes cardio more enjoyable and actually motivates me more when I see a bone-jarring hit or a RB break a huge run.

misc.
Just got my program from Eric . I am so excited to attack this prep!! I will be running a bodypart split focusing on hypertrophy one week and strength the following. 3 cardio sessions a week which is definitely a Godsend to start, seeing as I was doing 5x's a week right off the bat for last prep. I plan on being ready 4-6 weeks early for show number one. That gives me a good 14-16 weeks to get diced and then start filling back up . It looks like I may be hitting up the INBF Buckeye Classic which is the weekend following my first show in Bolingbrook. Can't wait!!

[Webber91]

Man, being from Australia I feel so out of place with all this NFL talk

Good idea getting ready a few weeks early man, thats my plan for my shows next year too. No more getting crazy aggressive with cardio 2 weeks out like this year lol
