Carry on.

Lots have changed since last update. Moved back to Missouri, changed gyms, jobs, and lifestyle. Figured I’d recharge this thread with a NYD update and get back to logging again. I’ll log nutrition for the day tomorrow. I trained legs today and went to a satellite gym, as my main gym was closed today.

Warm up: 10 min free motion elliptical

Single leg extensions: 4x8+8 partials each leg each set

Hypertension: 3x10 just to get the lower back and hams activated

Smith machine squats: 4x10 with static 5 sec holds each rep

Leg press: 4x15 light weight with super narrow stance, did a final burnout set AMRAP

Calf extensions: 3x20 using the leg press

Adductors: 4x10 using super slow negatives, normally use explosive reps so this was different for me

Lying single leg ham curls: 4x10 again focusing on negative

I normally workout fasted in the morning but my gym is closed. I ate 1/4 cup dry cream of wheat, 1 scoop of protein powder, 1 tbspn PB, and SF choc syrup before working out. Didn’t feel sluggish, felt great but had burps during the workout. Sitting down now to chicken, broc****, and Mac n cheese post workout. Thanks for reading!

What part of MO? Go Chiefs!

Well yesterday was a trying moment for me. I got invited to lunch with a friend and we went to Golden Corral. I had in mind to keep it moderate and I think I did so, but I was thinking of not logging it. I began thinking it was not honest of myself to do such and need to keep myself accountable. So I logged it and got the nutrition from the website. I had spinach salad topped with grilled chicken and broc**** with light Italian dressing. Pickled beets, roasted chicken breast, pot roast, sweet potato, cabbage, and a slice of cheesecake. It was over 1000 cals by estimating. The only goal I have it to be consistent and log everything, hoping to stay within 3200 cals for now. Then I will ease into the restricted part by lowering fat, carbs, and calories. I don’t plan to log my weight or make changes until Feb 1st. I just need a groove then adjust from there.

Yesterday’s numbers were 204C 128F 261P 3058 cals. Same breakfast and mid morning snack, dinner was vension with broc**** and wild rice. No milk for snack, but had my protein, berries, and whipped cream before bed.

Today was fasted chest and triceps. Warmed up for 15 min brisk walking on treadmill.
Machine press 4x10
Low pulley cable fly 4x10
Tricep cable press down 4x10
Incline DB press 4x10
Incline DB fly 4x10
Incline KB overhead tri extension 4x10
Machine fly (pec dec) 4x10
Incline BB press 4x10

Felt pretty good and strong this morning, did the DB press with 80’s. It’s getting the DBs in place without help that I struggle with, not the actual movement. Finished with 175 on the incline BB press and was good considering it was near the end.

I have a cheat meal planned tomorrowith my family. I’ll be training legs in the morning, it will not be fasted.
Happy Friday!

[scrossmaggard]

This morning was legs and I didn’t train fasted. Pop tart and shake before workout and a pop tart afterwards.

Warmed up recumbent bike 15 min

Went over a tad in calories yesterday but was flirting with disaster. Didn’t hit protein numbers, went over 300 grams of carbs. My oldest sons birthday was yesterday so I gave into a slice of cake and a piece of pizza.

302C 114F 223P 3214 cals

Today is already high at over 1000 cals and 200 grams of carbs. Hopefully don’t go too high.

Here is to honesty.

[scrossmaggard]

Yesterday ended miserably at over 3800 calories. Some very bad foods were ate, like a Big Mac, 1/4 pounder with cheese, small fries, slice of pepperoni pizza, ended up giving into stress. Today has been better and back in the swing of things. No exercise today, a complete rest day. Will post my nutrition tomorrow and looking at my exercise approach for this coming week.

[scrossmaggard]

Well this morning was supposed to be back and biceps, but I tried cutting my finger off last night setting animal traps. I have it wrapped in gauze and medical tape, should get stitches, but avoiding the doctor. Worked arms with limited grip.

20 min step mill
Lat machine pull down 2x25
Tricep cable press down 4x25

Standing DB concentration curls 4x25 each side
Tricep machine press down 4x25

Was bleeding a bit through gauze during the pulldowns, so I changed my workout.

Yesterday was 268C 172F 262P 3205 calories. Had a small cheats in there before church, French toast sticks x3 no syrup and Cini minis no icing, other than that clean eating. Should be another clean eating day.

Hoping my hand/finger heals.

[scrossmaggard]

Had an ideal macro day yesterday and hit my splits. 297C 100F 307P 3213 cals and stayed shy of highly processed foods doing it too. Most meals were steamed brown rice, broc****, and grilled chicken breast. I add hot sauce for taste. Bought a bag of red potatoes for the next few days to switch from the rice.

Fasted workout this morning, still have a bandage on my finger. Worked chest as it didn’t seem to bother my grip too much.

Flat BB bench 4x25

Just plugging right along. Probably hit some light legs tomorrow and cardio. Might look to drop my cals by 200 or so next week or just take away carbs from a meal if I stay consistent.

Party on!

[scrossmaggard]

Had some decent numbers yesterday wasn’t feeling hungry, felt like I had to cram food to hit my numbers. 337C 90F 269P and 3135 cals. Most of the food was usual, aside from two Bang Keto Coffee RTDs and a bag of beef jerky,
as I was on the road quite a bit. Need to do some cooking tonight, brought some tuna with me today.

Fasted workout this am Initially was going to train legs, but thought I’d saving legs for Friday.

Was burnt by the end and didn’t opt for more cardio. Again not weighing myself until the end of Jan, but I might make some nutrition changes next week.

Adios

[scrossmaggard]

Yesterday was a ok day in terms of nutrition and eating. I went off the grid and got some Chick-fil-a for lunch. 2-cool wraps, no sauce, medium fry, and a Coke Zero to drink. I think I haven’t mentioned is that I am a diet soda addict, but I really limit the consumption during times of making changes to my physique. I haven’t been consuming much, but have been drinking a half gallon of green tea, with 2-tbspns of Splenda in lieu.

The numbers form yesterday were 230C 131F 281P and 3142 cals. I also am making changes with my nutrient timing, some will day it doesn’t matter, I say why not give it a try. I am going to make the transition to have a protein shake before training and after, then have some sugars, keeping my carbs high in the mornings. I’ll taper off, aside from my berries at night. Fattier meals with lower carbs will be later in the day.

This morning was a fasted workout.
20 min treadmill
Machine pull down 4x20
Bent over BB rows 4x20
Reverse incline supported DB rows 4x20
Straight arm pulldowns 4x20
Incline DB pullovers 4x20
Cable rows 4x20

No more time for additional cardio. Finger is healing and will be able to train heavier soon. Tomorrow will be legs and then cardio on Sat. I plan to be off Sunday then will re-evaluate my workout split.

Carry on wayward.

[scrossmaggard]

Yesterday was over my goal. Fell victim to late eating due to boredom. Grabbed an extra 250 unnecessary calories eating triscuits and ez canned cheez. 363C 83F 267P 3328 cals wish my protein was higher and carbs lower. Fat was in check staying under 100 grams. I feel good, energized, and motivated in the gym.

Trained legs today. Had a protein shake before training and after. Also had 2 servings of Cap’n Crunch and skim milk
post workout as well. I’m going to keep that model, as I crave kids cereal at times. This will curb that hopefully and not gorge late at night.

Machine adductor 4x20
Seated ham curls 4x20
BB squats 1x15, 4x12 lower back getting light and hips getting irritated here

Tomorrow I’m traveling to KC to watch the Chiefs. I’ll be tailgating and hope not to over indulge. The plan is to keep moderate. Grill some steaks and potatoes and limit the alcohol. I’ll be doing cardio in the morning before traveling.

Go Chiefs!

[scrossmaggard]

Welp, I’m back at home and the Chiefs won! Great game and experience, even though KC got a foot of snow. I did drink beer and ate some naughty tailgate foods. I prepared steak, jalapeño/cheddar bratwurst, baked potato, sausage/cream cheese jalapeño peppers, all on the grill in the snow storm. I snacked on peanuts during th game. Stayed overnight and ate out breakfast first thing before traveling home.

Highlights: I made it to the gym before driving to KC and trained arms. Forgot to log it, also did some cardio. Logged over 10k steps yesterday on my iPhone somehow. Spent 10 hours out in the cold and enjoyed myself. Back at home and cooking food today for the week.

I plan on dropping to 3000 cals this coming week. Planning to train 3 body parts per workout and dedicate 2 days per week for cardio only. That’s my goals for the week, just need to execute.

Ps. My legs are still sore from
Friday

Have a great day.

I missed my calorie goal yesterday. 3133 calories 288C 97F 252P

Agreed to go to lunch with a friend and spent some extra calories at Taco Bell.
Kept it low fat with fresco menu. Still recorded 800 calories. I find if I spend my calories too early I will fail. I find I need to same some for the night when I get home.

Ab machine 4x12

Peace out!

[scrossmaggard]

Logged 3001 cals yesterday for 252C 98F 256P it took 3 scoops of protein and a canned protein shake to hit my numbers. I had a protein cookie mid morning that had a ton of fiber that curved my appetite.

C-ya

[scrossmaggard]

Yesterday’s numbers might be miscalculated. I had 100
grams boiled fettuccini noodles and 6oz
strip for dinner. The calculation I have shows 25 grams of fat for the steak, but I trimmed the fat before cooking. Also, not sure if my calculations are correct on the noodles prepared vs dry weight. Anyhow my 3000 teeters on if those are correct. 325C 100F 239P based on yesterday.

Had cream of wheat and protein powder post workout. Not sure what tomorrow brings, but I need to train legs at some point. That might be tomorrow or Saturday. We shall see.

[scrossmaggard]

Yesterday was a pretty good day, until I went to bed early then woke up and ravished my peanut butter and cool whip.
Was at 3075 cals 274C 101F 269P before I went to sleep. Add another 300 or so calories, fat calories at that. Last night I made a cute little low carb pizza. The crust was chicken breast, mozzarella cheese, and eggs. Topped it with natural tomato sauce, turkey pepperoni, and more cheese. It was good. I will see more of these in my future, along with some protein cheesecakes. Just a week or two more of logging and tracking before I start digging in.

This morning I visited a power lifting barbell club with a friend and did some heavy bench press. I started with 135 for 20, 225 for 15, 275 for 10, then 315 for 6x3, then 225 for 20. I was pretty ecstatic of the weight I could move. I have not trained like that for a minute. I was glad to have a spotter and able to see what I could press. Then went to standing overhead press. 95x10, 105 x 10 for 5 sets, then 115 for 10 for 2 sets, then back down to 105 for 10. Not done these in a while as well. I think it was beneficial to switch it up. I took a shake before hand, then had 4 pieces of toast with peach preserves post workout, along with 3 eggs and 2 slices of bacon.

Tomorrow will be legs and higher calories. I am hoping to not go too high in calories and junk and not be able to get back in my groove. We will see what happens.

[scrossmaggard]

Had a good day nutrition wise 211C 97F 318P lunch was rotisserie chicken and brown rice. Had a birthday cake 3 musketeers, pretzel chips, and cottage cheese for snacks.

Splurged yesterday with 3 donuts, 4 pieces of pizza, a small order of fries, and a frosty. Also worked in a protein cheesecake and a low carb high protein pizza. Over 4000 calories 400F 175F 200P. I’m smoking a turkey today and have roasted chicken prepared.

Went to the gym on my rest day. 20 min cardio and arm workout. Just happy being honest, self accountable, and tracking to finish out January.

[scrossmaggard]

2805 calories. Was home most of the day, but was pre-occupied and didn't eat from boredom. 229C 105F 224P I had planned to eat a piece of my protein cheesecake, but didn't indulge. Instead had a SF ice cream sandwich and a protein PB concoction. Eggs and bacon for breakfast with toast. Crockpot chicken breast wraps for lunch. Cottage cheese and pretzels for snack. Ate the smoked turkey breast and baked potato for dinner. This morning I really didn't have plan and I am working around some aches and pains. #1, my finger still hasn't 100% healed and it formed a blood blister, so no pulling. #2, my back has been giving me fits at night, so no back. #3, my shoulder is sore from heavy bench presses on Friday, so no shoulders or pressing. My workout felt lackluster and ho hum.

[scrossmaggard]

2926 calories, 271C 99F 237P

Was thinking a burger and fry and saved the macros for it, but settled for more food. Turkey sandwich, pretzels, protein cheesecake, a protein mug cake, and pop corn. I felt better enjoying all that, aside from a burger.

I’m toying with the notion of entering a local show in about 20 or so weeks. I’ve never done one, but it’s something i would like to do. Not sure if it’s worth a plastic trophy to put my family through the hell I would ensue or if I could stay on track for 20 weeks. I will think about it and look at my BF levels the next few weeks. I’d need to lose 30 pounds or more in 20 weeks, which seems daunting.

This morning Ive changed my workout nutrition again. I added Gatorade powder to my workouts. So, a shake, then Gatorade, then a shake and cereal. It was only 22 grams this morning for shoulders. Going to added EAAs to the Gatorade as well.

20 min treadmill
Machine lateral raise 4x12
Machine shoulder press 4x12
Behind the neck pull down 4x12

Shoulder and back are feeling better. Finger is still sore but not as bad. Tomorrow will be cardio and Saturday will be legs.

Cheers.

[scrossmaggard]

2845 calories yesterday 261C 93F 245P. I know if I want to make this show a priority, I am going to need to bring the fat down by 30 or so grams daily. More than likely will replace with protein and give me another 68-70 grams daily. 3000-2800 is where I want to start. I am 22 or so weeks away and will make an assessment in two weeks. I need to gauge my starting point and if I am too fat, then I wont do it.

Morning was usual: 2 scoops of whey, 1 before and 1 after, had 22 grams of dextrose during workout and cereal with skim milk post workout.

Mid morning was a protein cookie.

Lunch was fresh smoked turkey on organic whole wheat, low fat cheese, lite ranch, and 1 cup of steamed brocolli

Mid pm snack was 4 oz of beef jerky

Dinner was slow cooked chicken breast on high fiber wraps, 1 serving of pretzel chips and sour cream

Night snack was a protein mug cake, low fat pop corn, and sugar free jello

This morning's workout was back.

15 min brisk walk treadmill

Meadows rows 4x15 (each side)
Wide grip bentover BB rows 4x15
Straight arm pulldown 4x15
Seated dual arm rows (D handles) 4x15
Narrow grip lat pulldowns 4x15
Lying KB pullovers 4x15
Standing dual arm DB rows 4x15

Didn't go to heavy, so opted for 4 sets of 15. I feel I am wearing out the sets of 4 and need maybe to transition to sets of 5, or going heavier with sets of 3. I felt I didn't do enough volume here, but I got in 28 working sets. My finger/shoulder/back still giving my aches, but I am working through it. Legs tomorrow and I am saying it again, my split will change next week.

Here is to the weekend!

[scrossmaggard]

[scrossmaggard]

Calf extensions 4x30
DB lunges 4x8

Completely gassed during squats. Wanted 12 on each set, but got 8 at least. Was pausing on the bottom of each rep, so that is why as well. Tomorrow is sprints and cardio. Possibly some abs.

Cheers!

334C 247P 65F carbs were a little higher buts that is ok due to it being a leg day. This morning was 15 min cardio some ab exercises. Did 10 wind sprints and got me really gassed. Ran the length of a basketball court and back 10 times all out. Then finished with another 30 min walking on treadmill. My goal is keep carbs lower today. So far so good for this week.

Happy Hump day!
