    Post iKermit's Workout Log *New for 2017*

    I'm back...

    Previous log can be found here: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=2115071



    Intro:
    After life happened, I thought I'd get back to logging my workouts. My training has been off and on but I've been back at it now for about 6 months after almost a year off.
    I'm currently weight training 6 days a week, playing Ultimate Frisbee 3 nights a week and training jiu jitsu 2 nights a week and MMA 1-2 nights a week.

    Stats:
    Height: 5'8
    Weight: 175lbs
    Age: 38

    Goals:
    I'd like to continue to build strength while staying relatively lean. I would like to compete at Lightweight which is 155lbs. I'll need to keep my weight within cutting distance from that.

    Program:
    Sunday: Weights (upper body)
    Monday: Weights (chest/biceps), Ultimate Frisbee
    Tuesday: Weights (legs), jiu jitsu and possibly MMA
    Wednesday: Weights (back/triceps), Ultimate Frisbee
    Thursday: Weights (shoulders/traps), jiu jitsu and possibly MMA
    Friday: No weights, Ultimate Frisbee
    Saturday: Weights (legs)

    I was sick the last couple days so didn't expect much today as I haven't been eating. I felt weak at the beginning but seemed to find my rhythm early on. The weights did feel a bit heavier than they should have but I'm happy with today's workout.

    Felt a little weak today. I need to get my diet dialed in. I tend to undereat during the day and then overeat right before bed i.e., 1 AM last night. Didn't eat before this workout; still full and bloated from last night.
    Right shoulder is still not 100%. I tweaked it on incline bench a bit. Flat DB pressing is still the worst but slowly getting better. I'll likely be switching to flat BB soon to work the ROM. I'll probably switch flat DB to incline DB.

    Left the ego at the door. I'm really trying to target my quads on the front squats. I tend to use my back too much. I revamped them completely; wider stance, toes out, wider grip with straps.
    RDLs are focusing on glute and hamstring activation; not so much back again.
    Felt okay overall. Didn't eat prior to training.

    Started lifting at 2:30 with one package of instant oatmeal. Stomach still being weird.
    Slight discomfort in left wrist but didn't hinder the skull crushers.
    Pretty happy with this session despite the lingering stomach issues.

    1 scoop of protein all day before training. I think I'm pregnant. I can't think of any other reason for this.
    Definitely feeling like I need a day off. Good thing that's tomorrow.

    Legs were very sore from Ultimate last night. I might have to move where I do legs throughout the week.
    Learned a lot of information about my dieting issues. I think I have it figured out. For two weeks, I've felt ridiculously bloated and full forever. I haven't been able to train abs. See below. Workouts in the past week have been on almost no food. I'm cutting out eggs for 3 weeks. I think I've developed an intolerance or allergy. I'll try reintroducing them after 3 weeks but in moderation.

    The picture below was taken last night. I had to purge. Afterwards, I slept amazing (best in 2 weeks) and ate 7 times today. MUCH better!

    This was incredibly painful.

    Felt pretty good. Little weaker than normal but came from a competitive Ultimate game just before weight training.
    Didn't feel like doing 4x10 on incline so mixed it up. Was really hoping to get 250. I know I have it on a good day.
    Binged the night before because I was still hungry. That made my 8th meal. Woke up a little full but otherwise good. Day 1 of no eggs and I'm more convinced they're the problem.

    Felt pretty good. Thrilled with incline bench! Once, I can hit 250, I'll be switching incline bench for flat and flat DBs for incline. I still have some weakness in my right shoulder which makes db pressing difficult. I have very little stabilization if the right db starts to get too close to midline. It doesn't happen with overhead pressing because my ROM won't let it come too far midline. It only seems to happen with flat db pressing. I'll be curious to see if it happens on incline.
    Didn't eat prior to training (3-4:30) as I binged again last night and was still full. It's not as bad as when I was having eggs though. I'm just full. I'm eating the variety I neglected for so long and am obviously overdoing it lol. I'll be past this phase soon hopefully.

    Nice work with the incline press. 195x10 should mean you can hit 250 real soon.

    I'm thinking so too. I didn't have the best day yesterday and I wasn't able to stay tight in my hips and upper back. Today, I did. I'll try again next Sunday probably. I can tell depending how heavy 225 feels.

    For this workout, I really wanted to focus on contracting the muscles so kept the weight a bit lower than normal. I also incorporated a 60s rest between sets. I had a few good pumps going.
    Feel good about this session.

    & strong arnold press!!
    Thanks man! I only started doing them a couple months ago and they were brutal in the beginning. My anterior delts have responded well though. They're now becoming one of my favourites.

    THRILLED with my OH press!! I didn't expect to get one at 185! I didn't go as low as I normally do but I'm super happy with these!
    Stomach feels better today which is awesome. It's been almost 3 weeks of strange things going on.

    Legs are a bit later today but I wanted to share this video I came across this morning. I'm hearing more and more about intermittent fasting lately. I've inadvertently done it in the past and looking back, it seemed to work but never really quantified it. I think I'm going to try it under a more structured program.

    Surprisingly, I didn't feel weak. I continue to be happy with my leg strength progression!

    First day of fasting. I didn't eat since 11pm and this workout was at about 10:00am. I felt good overall but did notice a bit of weakness. I also forgot my preworkout which could have contributed. The last few reps were harder than normal even though I reduced the weight a bit.
    Looking really lean this morning. I'll continue to experiment with what I need to eat and the window in which I eat. I'm going to aim for an 8-10 hour window of eating.
    Off to Frisbee now so we'll see how that goes with no food.

    Nice work. Impressive wrist flexibility too. I could never do the olympic grip front squats, my wrists just don't bend that far.

    Form is improving from Feb 13 too. You were "two parting" the rise out of the hole quite a bit, but it's getting better. You can still see a bit that your hips come up before your shoulders. It sounds like your training partner is helping to keep you honest on that, which is great.

    Felt good.
    With the fasting, the last rep on incline was tough but other than that, energy and strength is pretty on par.
    I'm staying very lean all day which is awesome. I have more consistent energy levels throughout the day too. So far, I've been eating whatever I want between 2pm and 12am eg; big bowl of sloppy joe's, 1c plain greek yogurt with a little banana pudding mix mixed in and almost 2 boxes of light Jello before bed.

    I've been thinking my wrist flexibility needs to improve. A few weeks ago, I switched to using straps which has been 100% better. You can see them in the most recent video. It helps me keep my elbows and chest up especially coming out of the hole.

    I still have quite an imbalance between my quads and back (spinal erectors) but it's getting better. Towards the end of the powerlifting training, I was pulling close to 500 but only squatting about 350-365. I figured a lot of quad focused work would help. It's a never ending work in progress

    Hope you're doing well.

    Feel good again! This intermittent fasting is definitely working for me. I had a competitive game of Ultimate last night from 7-8 and felt great. Finished eating at 11:30 and ate again today at 2:30. Thinking I'll continue to aim for a 9 hour window of eating. Ultimate, jiu jitsu/mma may change this a bit but that's the goal.
    Someone said that since the soleus is a slow twitch muscle, try higher reps and fast twitch, try lower reps. That's why I chose the rep configuration I did on the calf exercises.
    It's amazing how easy it is to do direct ab work when not bloated and full. This is the first time in about 3 weeks!
