TheReverend's 12wk Transformation Log 2012

[TheReverend]

+ 5.4 m

Cumulative of past 5.5 weeks:

-50.5 m
-40.2 m
-61.0 m
-60.1 m
-89.2 m
-39.6 m (*current week)

Total: 340.6 m

Gonna get in the gym and give the following workout a shot:

Squats 5x5
Deadlifts 5x5

^ If I can stay conscious and manage that, the rest will be cake:

LIGHT flat bench 3x10
Pull ups 3x10 - no added weight

And back home. Pretty ****ing exhausted today and slept like crap last night :/

Daily motivation:

Not enough room

It is. I would've stopped after the marathon... BUT TREE FIDDY.

So the workout hit me with a pretty solid second wind type feeling. I left it feeling a lot better than I entered it, that's for sure, at least.

I ended up doing 6 sets of squats at the top weight I could handle. I also want to clarify I did MACHINE squats today to make sure I had some built in stability since I'm still pretty wobbly from the marathon. So definitely no bad ass there.

Did 5 sets of deadlifts but was seeing stars at the final two reps of 275x5 (yeah yeah laugh it up *******s) so just ended it there.

Did the pullups and did bench at only 185x10 for 3 sets, but really focused the negative and brought it down SLOOOOOWWWW and then exploded it back up.

Really went hard after abs to finish up. I did weighted incline situps 7x15 for a total of 105. After that I hit bicycle crunches for another 400 so I could break 500 stomach reps. Will it actually make a difference by Saturday? lol no... but damn near anything's worth a shot since I feel like I'm so close, yet so far from my goal.

Also:

PM me an email address and i will send you the 5/3/1 manual(pdf file). i am just glad you fixed your squat form and depth! lol i will pull 600 pounds off the floor before the end of this year or will kill myself trying! my squat con go to hell for all i care

[TheReverend]

Carb depleted... which honestly I've pretty much been the entire 12 weeks lol.

Tomorrow I'm going to start loading in the evening with a potato or something, and another in the morning ramping into pics.

My sodium is pretty non-existant right now and I've already cut water back. Tomorrow I'll go even lower and then Saturday morning try to not really drink any until pics.

You?

i havent decided if im gonna start tomorrow night or early saturday morning but i have bananas and sweet potatoes already, and yes its gerber baby food, dead srs

[TheReverend]

do you even read my log? lol

Constantly. I'm just ****ing tired and had a crazy busy day between writing, working out, work and getting some registration stuff taken care of. Exaggerated by this amount of food and water :/

Btw, cutting sodium ain't hard at all when you don't eat. Just sayin.

give your kid more chores to do = profit

[TheReverend]

She's in Texas for the week :/

[TheReverend]

Its really hard to believe that this is my last fasted cardio walk during the contest.

Its hard to believe that 12 weeks ago I was 50 lbs fatter!

Its hard to believe just a few days ago, I was able to do a marathon with my knee issues.

Tomorrow I take my "final pics" and essay. Already. Its amazing how quickly this has flown by but thanks to everyone that's followed along, lurker or poster.

Even after this ends, I won't be ending this log. I still have too much work to do on myself. And probably 3ish lbs of fat I'd still like to work off. So ill use this log as a method of staying accountable to myself and check in once a week or something along those lines with updates.
