From Chunky to Skinny, Now lets build some mass!

Sorry to hear about the weight loss. You DO NOT eat enough.
I do NO cardio anymore, lift 4 times a week, and still eat more than you.

Again dude, you shouldn't be telling other people how to eat right now. Xhale needs to worry about Xhale bro.

[thebasil]

the scale may have been a fluke. that's why I like to weight myself more than just once a week....gives you better accuracy. or is it precision? i think accuracy. either way you could probably eat more lol

If this is for real then I definately need to eat more but remember, everyones different.

warmDOWN You mean cooldown chief .

I always thought you runners were crazy. We had a XC runner in my detachment, and the mornings we'd have PFT's, he'd go run a mile to warm up for the 1.5 mile run lol, all while the rest of us were wanting to go back to bed and moseying to the track to "save our energy" .

Yeah cooldown. My coach always calls it a warm down so thats why I always call it that.

It may of been a fluke but 3.5 pounds is alot. A pound of that could be real weight lost but if its really 3.5 pounds, wow, im ordering large pizzas everynight. I was weighing myself everyday like you do but I cant do that because it screws with my head. Im gonna weigh myself tomorrow and the next day to get a more accurate reading and if I stay around 143.5 like it said I weighted this morning im definately gonna jack up the calories.

Track Update:
So the meet for tomorrow was cancelled so ill just be having a practice tomorrow and I guess Ill do Shoulders/Traps tomorrow on schedule. Also, Friday night we're scheduled to get alot of snow so the NYC meet is in question for this Saturday so if thats cancelled then I would end up having my scheduled Leg Day also. We shall see.

Weren't you having crazy water weight swings before though? Only purpose for my tanita scale.. if my weight jumps up while saying I'm dropping in bodyfat, it's an obvious water weight spike.

BTW, my weight fluctuates 2-3 lbs all the time. I probably walk around most of the time at 175-177 after the weekend activities, but by friday after eating better and working hard I'll be back to 174

[Xhale12]

I doubt it was a fluke being down that much weight. Again you don't eat nearly enough food for your activity level.

As for fidelitas, it's perfectly fine for me to try and help him out. He's been in my journal a ton doing the same also. I think we can relate to each-other alot, and it certainly helps me when he stops by in my thread to set me straight.

Bro, I'm not trying to flame you, and I'm not saying that you can't encourage him and support him, I'm just saying that you've got your own issues that you need to work through first. You aren't recovered yet, it takes longer than a week or a month.

[Holyspokes]

If you dont have track practice you dont need to do 2 miles just to stay loose, just stretch in your house for 10-15 minutes and your fine. Let your body rest, that is when it grows most. Fuel the fire and let your body GROW.

Not trying to hate bro, cause you give good advice, and I don't know where his priorities are, but he DOES need to do 2 miles to stay loose for a meet the next day. It really depends how important the race is to him.

Rest is very important though so take it whenever you can.

Comments:
I only had 1 PR today so I had to up the workload some way. It matched my PRs for every exercise for at least 2 sets. Doing 2 sets of 8 with 55 pounds DBs was very difficult and intense on Seated DB Press. My face was beat red and the weights took forever to get up. Everything else was great. The Shrugs hit my Traps nicely.

Track practice was pretty brutal but not too bad. 600 meters to warmup, 2 mile run, another 2 mile run, some sprint work, and a quick 300 meter cooldown. I got one more page of my 6 page paper to do tonight. Its gonna take forever because I cant think of anything else to write. Its on the debate of obese people vs fast food nation. I already hit all the strong points like its not just the food but sedentary lifestyles and the rest of their diet along with genetics. I also added information on trans fats and how people actually have the right to choose if they want to eat fast food or not and that they do have healthy options. Dammit, I cant think of anything else.

ouch six page report right before the break, feel for you man. Strong laterals, do you em one arm at a time or both at once? Keep up the good work dude

[DTrulez616]

Yeah i know. It was funny that I actually set the date for when this paper was to be due for everyone. The teacher asked the class, "When do you want this paper due?" And I blurted out, "The Friday before Christmas break". Not a very wise decision.

I do the laterals both arms at the same time.

[The Solution]

Get off bb.com and Finish that paper. The classroom is the future for your job bro, Get in there, and take it 100%. Get that paper done. You know what needs to be done.

I would suggest trying to Laterals with a cable next time, and put the other arm on your side and focus on a slow eccentric. Your delts will BURNNNNNN

I did get off BB.com and I just got it done. Big load off my shoulders. I didnt talk about childhood obesity so that took up another page.

I will try the cables next shoulder session.

[DTrulez616]

3 hours after my workout and the vascularity is still insane. The picture does not do it justice, it looks crazier in person. Also totaled 13 Rice Cakes through the course of today.

No one shoves big macs down overweight people's throats.....I can cite that MLA if you want to use me as a reference.

[DTrulez616]

Ok, so todays track practice was brutal. Started it with a 1/2mile warmup, then a 1 mile sprint(basically race pace mile), then 4 miles running, then another race pace mile, the a 1/2 mile cooldown. 7 miles total with 2 of the miles being at 100% intensity. Saying im exhausted right now would be an understatement. Maybe my coach was pissed because the NYC meet was cancelled? IDK. I was gonna do legs tomorrow but im gonna actually do something smart and rest tomorrow and hit them Sunday.

Snow continues to fly outside my house. We're scheduled to get 6-12'' of snow before it stops, then Sunday night another foot, then Christmas Eve another foot. White Christmas FTW!!! FTL!!!

[IndianForeigner]

congrats on finishing the paper; it's probably true that fast food is ok if you can fit it in your macros, plus there are some decent options that are offered; yeah, i know what you mean about the schedule of the paper, you want to push it off but when it comes around at the end, you just want to go to break and screw it; enjoy christmas break; the weather here is crazy in tennessee, it's like 70 and sunny today and on sunday it's going to be about 30 and maybe snowing, lol

[thebasil]

sick veins dude, shows your leanness. good idea with the rest. eat lots of calories to actually repair those wheelz of yours lol

Thanks man, paper was very difficult to finish but I got it done. Weather has been like that here but finally its just sticking to one extreme even though its the worst.

Yeah seriously, running took alot out of me today and I know my legs wont be 100% tomorrow due to it so im gonna give them 48 hours of full recovery.

Weight Update:
So like I said I was gonna weigh in for the next 3 days after the sudden weight loss and my weight stuck right around 143. It was 142.6 Wed, 143.5 Thur, and today it was 143.1. I dont know if my scale is just screwed up or what.

[thebasil]

you're scale isn't screwed up. i used that excuse for WAY too long, only in the reverse direction (fat loss).

Up those cals my friend, I say by 200.

[Kruczynski]

Eat MORE!

[SeanCC]

X2 on eating more, your running a ****load man. Especially at that intensity, its gonna burn major calories.

[MarkVI]

Moar food NAOW!

[BlueFenix13S]

If you don't like the snow, come chill (warm?) with me. Forecast for X-Mas in sunny Florida is a nice 68 degrees with scattered clouds . I might just go to be beach

[DTrulez616]

Maybe it isnt the scale. It randomly went up to 148 one week in October, then dropped down yo about 145 after about 2 weeks. It was slowly rising again until it got to 146 where I was last week and then, boom, 3 pounds gone 143.

Eat MORE!

Probably gonna start that my metabolism seems fresh once again.

Yeah, I probably burned about 800 calories during practice but the afterburn from the intensity will probably raise that also.

Moar food NAOW!

Strong reintroduction. Will do.

I wish I could. I actually like the snow and cold weather the week around Christmas but once its past I cant stand the cold or snow.

[Holyspokes]

What you got your cals up to now bro?

[DTrulez616]

What you got your cals up to now bro?

Right now theyre at 3500.

[Holyspokes]

Right now theyre at 3500.

I was your weight not too long ago, I was eating around that, but did no where near as much cardio as you (Now I am though, heh been slacking with adding more calories too)

So def don't be scared about raising it bro.

BTW, going to the Holiday Classic at the armory? I forget If i asked you before.
