    shadowwalker's keto journal

    I've tried one of these in the past but quickly decided to stop. I'm dedicating myself completely to this one and will update it until my goals are met.

    My goal is to simultaneously increase my mass to 190 pounds and decrease my body-fat percentage to 10%. No need to post and tell me that this is impossible because I can already hear the growls and cackles of derision as I write this now. Think of this as an experiment rather than a declaration of possibility.

    My background is this:
    I used to be very into weight-lifting. I had a lot of muscle-mass. I have no idea how much but I could hang-clean 275 for 10 for example. Then an injury occurred and I've stopped weight-lifting for a few years now. In the past year I've cut down from around 290 pounds (35% body-fat) to 180 pounds (13-15% body-fat). I did this without weight-lifting whatsoever. Below are the photos taken afterwards.

    These can be used as my before photos:


    These are both several weeks old. Since then I've begun weight-training again. Just very lightly in order to warm my muscles back up and get them used to tearing again. Since the photos I've maintained my body-fat % and increased my mass to 188 (gaining about 8 pounds in 3 weeks). This was done performing very light and basic exercises (25 pound DB benching for example).

    I believe my muscles are now prepared for my full routine.

    Here are my current stats:
    weight - 188 pounds
    body-fat % - 13-15%
    arms flexed - 14 inches
    waist - 33 inches
    chest - 41 inches
    thighs - 22 inches

    I guess let's see what happens. Make sure to visit my guide to ketosis.

    Oh and I wrote this up. Maybe it will be helpful to somebody:

    1. I figured what my BMR is by inputting my information into the following equation:
      BMR = 66 + ( 6.23 x weight in pounds ) + ( 12.7 x height in inches ) - ( 6.8 x age in year )
      It turns out my BMR is around 2000 kcal/day.
    2. At this point you'd normally you'd subtract calories from this number if you want to cut or add calories if you want to bulk.
    3. In order to decide how much protein to consume daily, I multiplied my LBM by my body mass to see how much lean-body mass I possess.
      0.85 x 188 lbs = ~160 lbs.
      Therefore I should consume about 160 grams protein/day.
    4. I then took my BMR and subtracted the calories which are attributed to proteins.
      2000 - (160 x 4) = 1360 calories
    5. I then subtracted the calories which should at least be attributed to carbohydrates.
      1360 - (30 x 4) = 1240 calories
    6. My macro-nutrient layout per day is 138 g fats, 30 g carbohydrates, 160 g proteins.
    7. Then I just divided these numbers by the number of meals I want to eat per day to find the layout per meal.
    8. Then I used this list and tried to come up with meals that fit my macro layout.

    Diet Overview

    Daily macro-nutrient goal:

    Very organized and put together nicely. I will be copying a few of your meals... great suggestions. Love the idea that you are experimenting also and imo, this looks like it will work out nicely. When you have [] liss []liss and then []liss []miss, how much time are you devoting and how is that set up?

    thanks for stopping by Ana

    i'll be weight-training in the morning and i'll do a short session of liss afterwards, and at night before sleeping i'll do a longer session of either liss or miss. when i update the log i'll input the duration, speed, and incline.

    The scientific and practical amount of carbohydrate needed in the diet is ZERO -- NONE. Dietary carbohydrates are not a requirement in any body function. In fact it appears that the lower the carbohydrate level in the diet the better the long-term health. Age-related degenerative diseases are caused by high levels of carbohydrates in the diet. One can be on a very low or zero-carbohydrate diet indefinitely as has been shown by the study of many primitive societies.

    Thoughts/Comments
    Although I said in an above post that I've been training for a few weeks now, I actually haven't trained legs yet (for shame, I know!) so this was the first day that I've worked out my legs in several years. The o-cleans were a bit scary at first. I had to really push and trust myself to do the first set. After I completed one rep though the rest were a snap. The weight was very heavy for me though and I couldn't complete my second set, and so I lowered the weight for my third.

    Squats were killing me. I feel I could've gone heavier but I didn't want to injure myself. I stopped half-way through because I could feel I was reaching a limit. What I did was sufficient for muscle growth at this point. Yes I know I'm embarrassingly weak right now but I think over the next few weeks/months I'll leap-frog in strength and size as my muscle-memory kicks in (hopefully).

    My diet was fine. I had a bit of ham since I had leftovers from easter. I was going to skip the last meal to give my metabolism some time to catch up to the calorie increase but I think the leg/shoulder workout really taxed me hard and my body was yelling at me to feed it some more so I had some chicken as well.

    Tomorrow is back day! I'm excited. I love back day

    My Motivation
    In this section I'll post different things that motivate me. I don't know if it will be cheesy or dramatic but I don't really care.

    Today:

    I look at photographs and reflect on memories of my past self and I'm filled with disgust. Even the thought of me as I am now is sickening. societal conditioning and psychological marketing trickery has perverted my thinking and has manipulated my decisions as if I were a trained puppet. I thoughtlessly give my money to others in exchange for paralyzing addictions and toxins.

    I allow myself to be the pawn of another. A mindless clown. A mockery of human will, intelligence, and strength.

    To be persuaded by impulse whatsoever instead of clear and rational thought is a mental slavery. My excessive body-fat and addictive behaviors are my shackles.

    It should anger me. I should rebel against this poisonous process which has only the worst intentions for my success and well-being; if I allow it then every bit of life, health, and money that I possess will be sucked out of me and given to those who are responsible for it all.

    I refuse to be a part of this manipulative game any longer. I refuse to succumb to the path that's been lain before me and live a life of servitude and mediocrity.

    Profound and intense! This is very motivating! The ability you have to share your deepest drive to reach your goals shows the amount of strength and courage you have. What is especially important is your will. That's the one thing I would love to see discussed more on the forum. Without it, nothing can be accomplished. There is no supplement for it. Every one of these ppl on bb.com have cravings, off days and could find excuses. The ones with the phenomenal physiques are the ones who have the 'will'. It's good to see you are one of them.

    Thoughts/Comments
    I weighed myself today and I've gained 6 pounds! I'm at 194 now. Wow! I don't think it's fat as my face has been leaning out. (I'm starting to get those cheek indentations! Exactly what I was hoping for by the way. Facial aesthetics here I come!) Though I'm sure a good bit of that weight is due to water retention. I am a bit bloated. I'm not sure but I don't think I'm back in ketosis yet. I'm not really worried about it though because I'll be back in tomorrow after my workout definitely.

    I changed my training layout slightly today. I moved shoulders to my chest day and left traps with legs. I think I like that better. Oh and here's a photo gallery of my home-gym (Gym Gallery) in case anybody is curious.

    I'm still very weak which is apparent from my training numbers. For my 4th set of rack-pulls I was trying for 250 but I couldn't even budge it! So I had to go back down to 205. I was also doing assisted pull-ups. I can't recall exactly but I think last week for rack-pulls I was pulling 185 with effort so I am definitely making progress.

    I can't wait for chest day tomorrow! I love it! I wish I had my strength back already so I could just pump out some heavy weight. Especially on dips. I seriously can't wait until I can do weighted dips. The mind is willing but the flesh is still weak (but not for long!).

    My Motivation
    Courage wolf!

    I'm impressed with your home gym... honestly, I cannot work out unless I am paying for a gym because that's part of my "motivation" lol If I'm paying, I hold myself accountable for actually going. Also, I like being in a large empty gym in the mornings good feeling... but keep it up you'll get your strength back in no time

    Thoughts/Comments
    Well I'm back in ketosis today like I thought I would be. For the past three days I've been performing my weight-lifting in a fasted state. Tomorrow is my rest day and I'll use it to stabilize ketosis, and then for the next three workouts I'll be utilizing a TKD consuming 50 grams dextrose before each workout.

    My workout today was pitiful and I was obviously depleted of muscle-glycogen. I tried taking in a bit of sugar half-way through the workout to raise my blood-sugar levels but I knew it probably wouldn't be absorbed until afterwards.

    My calories were way below what they should be but I felt crappy all day and just didn't feel like eating or even moving really. I feel discouraged but I know the feeling will pass. Patience and persistence are necessary when dealing with change, and I just have to remind myself of this.
    My Motivation
    When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before.
