Striation's "finally going to get ripped!" log

[Striation]

Subbed man solid progress. I share the same ideas as you and track everything. I did use my fatsecret but use my fitnesspal now. Keep it up man! I've got 10lbs left on my cut to reach 10-11%. Enjoyed B&j's phish food tonight. IF is the way to go!

Thanks! Reps.

Quick little update. I had a great workout, did deadlifts for the first time in over half a year. I have had two sciatic nerve pinches so I laid off of them for a while. Did rack deads only. Anyways, they felt great. Also, even though I weigh a full 10 lbs. more I got the weight belt on the 9th hole which is the smallest I could get it at 190lbs. This junk food low protein diet is rocking.

last couple posts I just wanted to say that too many people worry about summer cuts, and winter bulks or whatever. You should focus more about your LIFE of lifting.

sometimes its better to take it slower, and easier so you don't burn out, or hurt yourself.

I added 100-200 calories to my diet because I felt I was losing weight to fast. Don't wanna lose any muscle (haven't lost strength, even gaining strength on 130 or so grams of protein a day) and don't want any loose skin. (probably going to add another 100-200 in a week or two depending on how much I lose this week)

Striation, when are you going to post up the pictures you where talking about??

Yeah, I was going on a short vacation on the 13th so I was trying to get to 195 before then. Pushed too hard and my body fought back. I will keep it reasonable from now on.

I will have pictures when I reach 190-192 which is where my cut ended on the high protein diet last Sept. I will compare them to see if the lowered protein made any difference in my physique. From then on I will have weekly pics.

If I feel like it I may start pics when I hit 195. We will see.

Solid man good stuff! Can't beat deads. Racks to be safe tho so good choice. I always start my workout with a bog move then follow with hypertrophy volume. 9th hole for the win mate 8 next :-). Exactly mate cals in vs cals out. I aim for 1g protein per lean pound body mass but ain't bothered if I don't hit it. The best diet in the world is one you can keep up and actually enjoy doing. B&j= teh sex. Junk food diet profit lol. I await next update. Guna start a log after finished my cut no point now only a month done. Still might co.sodden though. Lost 18lbs in a month. 10 more lbs to go......

Weighed in today. 199.8. Calorie total puts me at 197.66. So calorie total has caught up and is now surpassing actual weight loss. Curious to see how it plays out from here. On a good note, I am continuously looking better. If I wasn't keeping track of calories in vs. out I would swear that I was eating at maintenance and recomping.

Looking good man! That Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Blizzard sound amazing, I've never tried it, I am familiar with Reese's though. Good progress. How was the workout? You can't beat the mirror for a judge, keep nailing them cals in vs cals out!

Haha man, loving your energy! Yes, that Blizzard was awesome, the cheesequake one was as well!

Workout was good. Did some rest pauses on dumbbell bench presses, t-bar rows, and seated preachers.
I don't usually do so many bodyparts but a new workout partner can only life 3 times a week so he does an upper lower split. I make up for the reduced volume on days he cannot workout with me.

Sweet. The energy is powered partly by black coffee lol. I like to bring the energy. Rest pauses are killer! As long as it fits around you and you feel you've blasted the body it's all good!

OMG I am so hungry right now reading about Reese's and cheescake. Got some cinnamon and raisin bagels lined up for 1pm when I break my fast. Yum!

[oskarhul09]

what are your lifts like? have they gone down?

[Striation]

Day 1. Bench press was down to 275x5 for 3-4 sets. Now bench press is 265 for about the same amount. Can't wait to bulk......

do you have any more information or somewhere I can look into this? I was just calculating my calories in/out vs my weight loss, and I've lost much more then I should be if you really look at the numbers over the last two months, or even this week alone.

Has me wondering If I have my "calories burned" way off or if its because of my carb cycling?

sorry if its off topic to your log, just excited that someone else crunch's numbers as much as I do, haha

What do you have your maintenance at? The app I use may be inflating my burn as it has my maintenance at 3985 calorie average for last month. I simply lift for about an hour do cardio for 20-30 minutes and try to stand most of the day. What are your activities? I do believe that if you're weighing yourself during a low carb phase, your weight loss will be "boosted" by the fact that your glycogen stores are depleted. For example, if I went low carb I would probably lose 5-8lbs in water weight.

well I had a "mid" carb day day before yesterday, and yesterday was "high" carb day, and was 253.4 yesterday morning... (I don't change my bodyspace weight until I'm the same weight for 3 days in a row to be sure its not just water weight) the day before I was 254.2 and on monday I was 254.8. but for a week before that, I stayed around the same weight....... its very odd.

I use: http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm with it set to "desk job" since i sit on my butt most nights at work, and sit on my butt watching my son during the day. NO cardio, eating 1800-2000cals a day, only lifted once this week..... it has me at 2555 cal for Maintenance.

I've been more busy then normal the last week, lots of errands and junk, but had less time to work out, so I figured as far as calories burned, i would be around the same.


so yea...... odd.

Not the greatest but it was 2 dollars for a medium. I added some shredded cheese and some hot sauce which made it pretty good. Training later tonight. It's 4:20 here. Just ran 1.6 miles in 14 min in my new vibrams. Calves are feeling it!

Good job on the run man. Always feels good in new trainers. Feel the burn! That hot sauce and extra cheese just made that pizza sound even better (instantly hungry). What you training tonight? Keep training hard man progress looks solid! :-)
