strangecloud's 2012 Transformation

**strangeclouds** · 06-01-2012, 05:51 PM

I suppose I'll just keep a log of my diet for a while until I can walk alright again.. even the tendons in my pecs/shoulder feel like they took a beating.

Ate just over 3kcals today at 3105.

Protein 50% - Carbs 20% - Fats 30% Gonna keep it this way for a few weeks and see if I can shed a few lbs through diet alone. zero exercise for me for the time being.. just rest.

**strangeclouds** · 06-15-2012, 06:38 PM

Completely rehydrated... back to weighing 240 at 10.26%.

Pecs were hurting to bench, so I narrowed my grip to essentially a close grip bench, and just grit my teeth to endure the discomfort in my wrist.

Bench

Thanks brother, much appreciated. If you ever have any questions or need any help with training or supplement advice.. just lmk, I'd be glad to help where I can.

Was wondering why I hadn't seen your thread come up in my subscribed thread feed in awhile; really ****ing sucks about the accident, dude. Hope you're getting better though.

**strangeclouds** · 07-08-2012, 03:23 PM

Making steady progress. Weighing 245 now, still at 10%. Been eating much more.. In conjunction to my normal daily diet, I've been eating sludge every day as well, a LOT of it!

Per day, my sludge consists of;
18oz Peanut Butter (3000 calories; 250g Fats, 110g Carbs - 30g Fiber, 110g Protein)
15scoops Protein Powder (1800 calories; 0g Fats, 105g Carbs - 75g Fiber, 375g Protein)
3cups Oatmeal (900 calories; 0g Fats, 165g Carbs - 25g Fiber, 30g Protein)
1cup Milk (90calories; 0g Fats, 13g Carbs, 9g Protein)
sometimes add a cup of raisins or craisins.

Wow, it sounds like a lot when I look at it here.. but it never fills me up. Works good though, arms are back up to 18.5" and waist is still lean.

Using some lighter weight for a while not only due to injuries, but also working out fasted has a big impact on strength/endurance as well.

Perfect workout.. targets achieved. Inner thighs were burning up after those split squats, and I'm praying I can sleep without a hammy cramp tonight.. but all went really well. The pace could have been a little better - I had to catch my breath a few times.. but it is to be expected when taking dnp.

Came in expecting to see a normal humans log with normal human lifts.

Leaving disappointed....

Just kidding subbed mate and GL on your goals.

EDIT: HOLY shizzle your natty too?

**strangeclouds** · 07-24-2012, 07:39 PM

No, I am not natty. I run a small cycle 1-2x per year. I actually just started a sponsored log for a PH by IronMagLabs, the link is in my sig. As MuscleTech says, "It Ain't Just Genetics!" lol

Will log last night's workout shortly. Still too sore from the first leg workout of 2012 last week to hit legs today. Was only able to get 1 set of Front Squats, 225 x 20.
