    Well I want you guys all to know what my intentions are, and hopefully as I go into my training and nutrition you guys can give me feedback on your thoughts, so that being said...
    2015 is upon us! You know that means GOALS, goals, GOALS

    Currently my goal is to drop down my bodyfat level a little bit, I had gotten up to about 180 for my power lifting competition mid December where I competed at 181.
    Through January, with the help of Carnigen over the next 4 weeks I plan to get down to low 170's or high 160's... However, here are some of my more tangible long term fitness goals for the upcoming year:

    • Squat 315lbs in competition
    • Overhead Press 135lbs strict in gym
    • Pause Bench over 225lbs in competition
    • Deadlift over 350lbs in competition
    • Clean and Jerk 185lbs
    • Complete a muscle up
    • Complete a pistol squat
    • Run, Swim, do not quit doing cardio for the sake of lifting

    What are your fitness goals for 2015??

    Here am I, joining this log. You might recognize me from the videos I did while logging ProMera products last autumn. Here's one of them.



    I have the ProMera Beta-Cret (how the hell do you pronounce this???) in Lemon-Lime flavour. I opened this on Monday and poured in my last serving of Con-Cret in Snake Fruit flavor. I don't like the Snake Fruit, so I thought this would help disguise it some. I had a great workout on Monday for back and biceps, but yesterday's shoulders & abs were unimpressive. The strength just wasn't there. Don't know what caused that.
    It's cold as balls outside today, and I want a day off to do some recovery yoga, so we're not going to the gym today.

    I'm currently weighing 172 lbs. My fat black ass has been eating too many sweets lately and I've probably violated the weight-gain clause in my FabScout contract. I weighed 165 when I signed it back in October. They are not going to be pleased, so I need to get my weight and diet under control. First I need some personal training sessions. I think I'm doing it wrong and that's why my results have been slow in coming. My form probably needs work and I know my torso is off balance. When that's corrected some, I want to do Kris Gethin's new 12-week trainer. I did his Hardcore Trainer like four times and always got good results, plus I just dropped $85 on new supplements from here, so I'm nearly prepared. The Beta-Cret will help me get started.

    I like to make videos of my log. You see me use the product, I talk about things (not just my workouts either), and make known any questions I might have. I can tell when the videos are not being watched, so please do watch them. There WILL be a quiz if I'm getting only one or two views for each video.

    That's all I got for now. I'm gonna go sit in my tea.

    I don't mean to press hard on you, but I'm going to ask you to use colours other than turquoise. That is REALLY hard on the eyes, and I kinda can't read it. Please stick to black or red or some other saturated colour. No yellow, either!

    Alright, So I stated my goals... Now HOW will I get there?
    This post will be about my training, tomorrow my supplementation, and then my nutrition!

    Here's what my training looks like going into 2015!

    Monday: Squat/Bench focus, Clean&Jerk, Chin-ups, Face Pulls - Followed by HIIT and 1 mile run for time

    Tuesday: Accessory lifts (i.e. ABS, arms, lateral head/rear delt, calves, bi's... just a quick hour pump sesh)

    Wednesday: Deadlifts/Incline Barbell, DB Shoulder Press/Barbell Lunges, Row for upper back, Face Pulls - Followed by HIIT and 1 mile run for time

    Thursday: Accessory lifts (i.e. ABS, arms, lateral head/rear delt, calves, bi's... just a quick hour pump sesh)

    Friday: Front Squats/OHP, SLDL's/Close Grip Bench, Face Pulls - Followed by HIIT and 1 mile run for time

    Saturday: 10*10 day - Squat/DB Incline Bench, Seated Bicep Curl/Tricep Rope extension, Lateral Raises/Sit-ups

    Sunday: A much deserved off day!

    My progression scheme for my Monday, Wednesday, Friday workouts is week 1: 5*7, week 2: 7*5, and week 3: 10*3 - then add 5-10 pounds and work through 3 weeks again. Deloading & then Testing maxes in a mock meet after 3 cycles. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday are less structured, but still with progressive overload on the forefront!


    What are you guys doing? Set Program? Personally Customized Program? Getting Coached? Just getting in there and going by how you feel?

    I have ran Candito's program as well!
    He's super smart, strong, and an excellent resource!

    I have never ran 5/3/1, but heard great things about it!

    We heard you!

    I think I will enter that Dymatize contest that begins next week. My supplements arrived yesterday - barely 24 hours after I bought them! They even gave me an issue of "Train!" magazine. I'm really enjoying reading it.

    I'll be linking my video logs of training and cooking and life and supplementation to this page, and we'll see how well I do. I do not have a specific weight goal or strength goal in mind. I always seem to fall short of those. I want to get my abs back and grow my chest some. I want to sit for Jeremy Lucido this spring. He photographs hot men in LA and prints their photos in his magazine with the racy name "StarF*cker." So I need to get my figure back to do this. We have not yet set an appointment. I should call him and make that happen so I have a goal date.

    I bought a personal training session for tomorrow. I have probably been doing a lot of lifts wrong and that's why my results are not so good.

    Hopefully that goes well!
    There are some really great, and really not so great trainers out there.
    So be sure to discern the difference!

    So I posted about my training and my goals... However,

    NUTRITION IS 99% of the equation!

    Maybe not 99, but it's SUPER important! So what's my nutrition looking like??
    Poptarts and protein shakes? DUH. NO NO NO.


    I do adhere to flexible dieting or IIFYM, whatever you want too term it.
    However, I do still choke down LOTS of vegetables, and basically couple IIFYM with carb backloading to feel really full in the evening, and ensure I am getting in loads of protein, vegetables, and fiber during the first part of the day!
    Throughout my bulk/lean mass phase I was eating 450C-70F-200P on training days and 400C-65F-200P on non-training days.
    However, after my meet on December 13th I started cutting up a little bit on December 15th.

    My current macro's are 300C-60F-200P Monday-Saturday, and Sunday is my refeed day at 450C-55F-175P
    Mid December I was fluxuating 177-179, and currently (early January) I am around 173.
    So I am down 4-6 pounds in the first 3 weeks of my cut, I plan for my weight loss too taper slightly and by the end of January be sitting right around or just under 170, at that point I will likely reverse diet, and then slowly gain or potentially just maintain around 170 while shoveling in as much food as possible.

    What is everyone else's approach to nutrition, all kinds of avenues can help to achieve amazing results...


    IIFYM?
    Set Meal Plan?
    Portion Control?
    Eat like a Bro?
    Train hard, eat what you want?
    Calorie Counter?
    Just go by feel?
    WHAT DO YOU DO? I would love to know, I always love talking nutrition and training with people!

    I had my PT session today. Most of my lifts are correct. My main problem is that I go too fast during certain lifts, especially during dumbbell kickbacks, triceps dips, and dumbbell press. I am almost incapable of bent rows - the posture hurts too much to hold for very long. Power squats are okay, and most of what I am doing is correct. We'll look at the rest next week. Right now I need some food and some rest, and on Monday, we begin Gethin's latest 12-weeks. Choy!

    NICE Good too hear everything is on par, controlling the weight is definitely an important aspect to things though.
    What's a "power squat"? haha.

    Good luck with the new program, starting a new training block always sparks a new internal fire in me!

    A power squat is a machine like a hack squat, except you face inward instead of outward, and there's no sled. Think "standing leg press" at an incline.

    You Natty Brah?
    What's your Supp game look like?



    I love the response that I got asking about your nutritional approaches!
    Along side what we eat goes whatever supplements we might be taking.
    Here's what I am currently taking:

    Vitamin/Overall Health Supps

    -Vitamin D3 - 5000iu daily
    -Omega 3 fish oil - 3 caps daily

    Muscle Building, Fat Loss, and/or Performance Supps
    -Creatine Monohydrate - 5g daily
    -Beta-Alanine - 3.2g daily
    -Evogen Carnigen - 1 scoop AM/1 scoop pre-workout
    -Prime BCAA - 1 scoop intra-workout
    -Promera Sports Beta-Cret - 1 scoop pre-workout

    Additional
    -Whey Protein as needed - I generally end up using about 2 scoops daily, but just what is needed to hit my protein macro's for the day. I don't necessarily consider whey a supplement as much as an alternative food source.

    Questions?
    NO MultiVitamin? WTF? --> I don't take a multi because I eat a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, and therefore just consider them to be overkill really.
    I try to keep most my supps fairly minimal, but obviously still take some stuff.

    What do you guys think is overkill? What do you take that I may not?
    I always love hearing different people's opinion and viewpoints

    Today I will be spending some time arranging my diet for the week. I always seem to be under-eating at these things. My carbs end up too high, my proteins too low, and my fats... also too low. I don't look forward to changing it every week.

    The boyfriend and I made a pizza last night.



    This has spinach, goat cheese, emmentaler (a kind of Swiss), and grape tomatoes. Turned out REALLY good, better than store-bought. It is the first pizza either of us has ever made.

    Looks pretty Good! I have heard good things about goat cheese/milk, but never tried it!

    What means do you too track your carb/protein/fat intake?
    I'm a myfitnesspal fan, but I know some people go by other means.
