Rimduglep Gets Better With Age

[rimduglep]

Workout B

Overall Impression: Not bad. My neck still hurts a bit from my last workout, but it didn't hinder this one in any way that I could see. Pretty impressed with my pull ups, all around.

Workout A:

Overall Impression: Eh. Neck has finally stopped hurting. I was weaker on a few sets, but I guess that was bound to happen. I just had my two day rest but both of those days were lower carb days so... No glycogen. I did weigh in at 159.2 this morning. Progress. I'm celebrating with brownies today.

One of my non-workout day go-to means is actually from Panda Express: Two serving plate of teriyaki chicken with mixed vegetables...

670 Calories.
76 Grams Protein.
26.5 Grams Fat.
22 Grams Carbohydrates.

It probably ends up being my main source of carbs for that day, actually... There are some incidentals from peanuts and stuff like that, but I generally stay away from carbs on those days.

[jsmoor09]

Congrats on breaking 160 mane.

And I LOVE Panda Express.

[rimduglep]

When it's time to bulk, I think I'm just going to add a peanut butter sandwich on white bread to every day and see what happens.

If that's not enough, I'll do a shake with milk every day instead of just postworkout.

That one guy who used to post in the ******** group with us whose initials are JE--he always said the only difference in cutting and bulking for him was that he'd pound several tbspns of pb when bulking.

[rimduglep]

Workout B

Overall Impression: Good workout. I'm still impressed with my pullups... Looking forward to picking up a vest at some point. So I'm going to do it up today and tomorrow in terms of carbs and next week will be on point again. Currently at 160.2 upon waking. My guess for next saturday morning? 158.2. We shall see.

I'm still jealous of that dudes hips/waist.

Really miss his quips, too.

Would marry. No homo.

[rimduglep]

Workout A:

Overall Impression: Well, blah. I guess it was okay but I am losing strength on my bench and it sucks. I ate too much food over the weekend, so I thought I may have an easier time today but that didn't happen. I'm bloated, but not for long.

Good thing about two days off in a row - they are low carb and that means by tomorrow morning, I'll probably hit a new low weight and the six pack will be saying hello more than ever.

Bad thing? I feel like a lazy piece of a crap. Can't wait to get on with it.

[rimduglep]

Workout B

Overall Impression: Pretty good workout this time around. I was not weaker for the two rest for once, which is good to see. Getting stronger where I can, and woke up at 158.8 pounds. A new low. This could put me in the low 150s by June 17 - my 35th birthday. If it keeps coming off slowly, maybe it will come off the right way and I'll be ready to bulk. We shall see.

Something tells me that I shouldn't go below 149. That's pretty thin.

I should be lean enough at that weight to say that it is time for a bulk.

I think I am starting to cut into the lower back fat and the sides now.

Ten pounds to go. Hopefully that's where they come from.

[rimduglep]

Workout A:

Overall Impression: Well, eh. Still getting weaker on the push exercises, which sucks. You'll have that on a cut, I keep telling myself. New low weight of 158.2 yesterday morning.

[rimduglep]

Workout B

Overall Impression: Pretty good workout this time around. Got a bit stronger, I would have to say. This might be aided by the fact that I took in about 2500 more calories than I usually do on an off day yesterday. Thank you DiGiorno and Ben and Jerrys. Funny thing is that I woke up at 157.8 on Sunday and at 163.0 today. Tomorrow? I'm betting on 159.0. Carbs = water weight. Progress pics probably coming on Thursday.

Workout A

Overall Impression: Still getting weaker on most lifts, but it felt good. I didn't hurt myself. I really need a new bench and some lessons on how to perform the bench press. Back down to 158.6 this morning. Progress pics were taken today and are forthcoming.

New pics, at 158.6. Strong hair in these, I know.









I haven't done a double-bi in a long time because I was tired of not seeing any progress.

[rimduglep]

Workout B

Overall Impression: Pretty steady workout. Getting stronger on the pulls, for the most part. Changing up the schedule - two days off until the next workout at this point. We shall see how A goes on Tuesday.

Workout A

Overall Impression: Not bad this morning. This was the first workout of the new schedule and I had hoped to be a little stronger after a two day break but that was not the case. Ah well. I ate well over the break - ballooned up like 8 pounds of water weight and was back down within a pound of where I should be this morning. Onward.

[rimduglep]

Workout B

Overall Impression: Felt pretty good. I believe this workout featured the most pull ups I've ever done. As far as rows, eh... Stayed at 155 again. Moving along. Really looking forward to actually getting some size out of my arms and shoulders eventually. But for now, on with the maintenance of strength during the slow cut.

Workout A:

Overall Impression: Pretty good. I seem to be staving off some of the strength-loss of the ongoing cut. Fat loss is slowing so I guess that means it's time to cut back the smallest bit on calories. Can I hit 150 by June 17, my 35th birthday? Maybe.

[rimduglep]

It's Friday evening and I just want to go home and go to sleep so I can wake up, weigh myself, and lift tomorrow. I'm hoping to set a new low on the scale in the morning. It's possibly as I woke up at 157.8 today and it's a low carb day. A gallon and a quarter of water later... We shall see. Come on 156.9. Loss has slowed, but ah well. That means I'm not losing as much muscle, right?

[rimduglep]

Workout B

Overall Impression: Really good workout. Not sure why. I may have just been pumped due to waking up at 156.8 this morning. Either way, yay.
