Why not just replace the alternator? In most cars all it takes is a few bolts on/off and messing w/serpentine belt.

mon-heavy push
tues-explosive pull
wend-no lift
thurs-explosive push
fri-heavy pull(see if legs feel good enough for the dead lift)

-IIRC this is a "dogcrap" routine that I did sometime at the start of this year, loved it, and should be effective with my nutrition and training...
-now to walk my happy arse to the store to pick up some epsom salts. yay liss cardio.

THOUGHTS and JOURNAL
-got some good job apps in, very excited with what could be happening soon
-it is either the keto or the weather but I have suddenly become an avid jogger this week
-gotta be careful not to overload the cardio so I got something to fall back on later in this cut cycle
-I am interested to see what the stats are going to be like sunday morning due to trends of this week
-I might go three weeks this round of CKD before carb up, workouts haven't suffered yet.

[k3n12ock]

I've noticed that some of my workouts have been much better as of late too. I can do faster on the elliptical now and for longer. Also, good luck with the job apps bro!

Good luck with the job search. Sorry if I missed it, but what kind of work are you searching for? MSN's big headline today was how the unemployment rate has magically dropped to 7.7% for the first time in 4 years. I will save my political opinions for my own blog, but thought it was entertaining nonetheless

Me too bro, I think the cold helps a bit as well. Thanks for the wishes and Heck of a job on that lost weight I just saw!!!

Ive done several things
-lab work
-counseling
-teaching(high school, middle, a lil college)
-security
-currently doing delivery coordination for the Home Depot, not a bad gig, but the pay is rough

I don't know what I am searching for, currently doing some apps for warehouse industry while sitting back looking at Christian education or online teaching.... I guess I am just kinda everywhere.

And I see where that political opinion is going.

THOUGHTS
-lean mass has dropped to just about where I go when I am dried out. not concerned at this moment
-so obviosly last weeks bf drop was more impressive, now to read through my log for the reason(detective time)
-I am happy with the progress though!!! It seems my body has pretty well broke through the 230 barrier which always seemed to be a stick point for me.



GOAL
-12/16 14.5%bf @190lm

[Cowmustard]

So I went back and researched the old log, it seems I did roughly the same routine last week as I did this week(a lil less jogging though).

So it stands to reason that it was the carb up from 11/25 helping me drop weight.... at least that is my thoughts. plus my last cardio session was uninspiring to say the least. might do a carb meal today or should i go three weeks SKD?? any input would be a appreciated

[Cowmustard]

Yea, just tallied up my cals

6010cals@46%c/39%f/15%p

Need to rope that in a lil. But it was tasty.

Hard cardio in the am peeps, peace!!

In one day? Did you just have a conveyor belt infront of you? I struggle to eat 4000 calories!!

One of the big reasons I love keto is because I do become a binge eater wen my insulin spikes.

Still yea I need to switch over to a carb "meal" day instead of a carb up day

Over 6000cals!? When will it be my turn!?

Nice work so far brah! You're tracking bf% using three points? I may need to start that up. What site are you using or how are you measuring? I have the calipers at home, but I've only ever done the one point test on the abdomen.

Also, how many carb ups have you had/enjoyed? And how have they helped you in terms of training? I'm going to see if my carb up this weekend is going to impact the training or not here in the next hour or so. Will report my personal findings this afternoon. Keep up the good work!

the effectiveness of my carb ups versus them just being a ninge is still up for debate. I need to do a few more months of logging before I can really give ya a deffinitive answer, but as for this mornings workout, felt great to go beast mode on the heavy bag!!!

my favorite website for pinches is

http://www.linear-software.com/online.html

they have alot of different pinch inputs, but I just use the jp/3 because I can do it all by my self and it helps me keep track.

Good work on that heavy lifting. I am trying to cut down to a descent six pack, then slow bulk on powerlifting routines!! I am jelly of the 5/3/1 bro, keep it up!!!

[Cowmustard]

Round 1 working the jab


Round 2 working the kick



Round 3 having fun

THOUGHTS and JOURNAL
-forgot how nice it was to pop the bag with some glycogen in the shoulders
-slowly getting back into squats
-still moving a lil slow from overdoing it yesterday
-morning cardio and weights were pretty epic, hoping to make this week more focused on intesensity then duration and see how the numbers go
-power cleans felt so light and sharp, amazing!!!
-retook stats this morning, find it hard to believe that 6000cals can make my bf% drop more, but it would be sweet, going to rely on week end stats to get a better grip on how much damage I actually did
