ID's TP-PT Log

(CLICK HERE here to view the original thread with full colors/images)




Posted by: tucker01

Well, It’s time! I will be starting my TP-PT Log this week, finally.

After a week off, and some time to recover from the EC withdrawal, I am raring and ready to go with this program. I have been following along with most of the Journals and have a good feeling about progress on this plan. I will be coming into this plan with full energy and no injuries.

Current Stats

Height......................6’1”
Weight.....................220lb
Quads..................... L 26.125.. R 26.25
Calves..................... L 16.........R 16.25
Forearms................. L 13.25....R 13.5
Arms........................ L 16.125.. R 16.25
Shoulders ................53
Chest.......................45.5
Waist.......................38.25
Skinfold Chest.........14mm
Skinfold Thigh..........16mm
Skinfold Abs.............22mm

Because I am not quite as lean as I would like to be I will hold back on any ventures of doing a Bulk and will opt for a Recomp. a la Carb Cycling. I will probably include some minimal cardio as well. 1-2 times per week.

Time to get the ball rollin'

Awesome buddy, when are you going to start lifting? We are almost the same weight!

Good luck Iain



Posted by: tucker01

Thanks everyone!

Wednesday will be my first workout!



Posted by: CourtQueen



Glad to see you finally starting. Look forward to reading this.





Posted by: Var

Good luck, Iain!



Posted by: tucker01

I haven't been ignoring my journal, just some personal things cam up the last couple of days. My little guy has been in the Hospital since Tuesday, Blood in his Stool. Anyway they ran a test for Meckels, but it came back negative, Now they are going to be looking into My wife diet (ie Dairy) because she is breast feeding. I'll keep you posted.

Iain



Posted by: CourtQueen

Iain, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope it is nothing and your little guy is just fine. Please let us know.



Posted by: Rocco32

Sorry Iain! Yeah, keep us updated, he'll be in my prayers!



Posted by: Jodi

Sorry to hear that Iain. I'm sure he will be just fine.

Thanks everyone for your concern. My Wife and Son are home now, as of last night As it stands my wife has to change her diet to not include any Milk Products. We also had to buy some special formula (for when we use it on occasions) it was freakin' expensive. I don't know how people can afford to formula feed children. This cannister was $20 and would last 1.25 days assuming we used at every meal Anyway Kyle is in good spirits as usual and glad to have everything back to normal for now

Workout was ok 40 mins.

Squats will be my nemisis, I suck at them, and don't usually do them. But I gotta keep at them.

Other than that

BTW I can already see the light at the end of the tunnel, and it may be the light



Posted by: P-funk

why do you suck at squats??? 225 for 6 is not bad at all. I think maybe there maybe something in your form that can be tweaked which would help you squat heavier weight (technique is important). it is hard to say with out seeing you squat though.



Posted by: tucker01

I would love to come to New York and do a few sessions with you Patrick.

I think the Key Problem with my squats is my Core Strength, My lower back sucks. There is no way I should be doing leg ext. heavier than squats, it is rediculous.

Maybe I will see if I can do a little Video

BTW that is to Parallel. I can't do ass to the grass at 225, working on it though.

I am not a fan of the leg extension (puts to much pressure on the knee). If you see me do it I am always using really light weight and going for high reps. I like thinkgs like lunges, step ups, split squats instaed of leg extensions. Not only do the engage more muscles but they will help to increase core stabalization which will lead to a greater squat.



Posted by: CourtQueen

Hi Iain -
I'm so glad to hear your son is doing better. I'm not going to be doing leg extensions any more. I've been doing it with TPPT and now I know why I don't. My knees are hating me right now, so no more extensions.

Squats will definitely come along just keep doing them.



Posted by: Rocco32

Glad to hear about your son Iain! Great looking workout. And your squats don't suck, I can barely bread 200



Posted by: tucker01

Thanks Rock and CQ

Thanks Patrick.

Right now I will stick with these as it is apart of TP's little experiment. I have never had any trouble with Leg extensions, and actually really enjoy them. As you have seen in my previous journals Squats are a bitch for me. 135 is a peice of cake for me ass to the grass. 185 I really start to notice my core weaknesses, well and 225 was a challenge, but was only to parallel. I'll keep working at it, and take your reccomendations to my next program after this.

BTW how is the Contest Prep going?

Iain



Posted by: Jodi

I'm happy to hear all is well with your son.

On the squats, I would cut it down to 185 and concentrate on form and staying slightly below parallel. JMHO



Posted by: tucker01

Thanks Jodi,

I was thinking the Same thing. You just get that mentality to go big all the time

That doesn't look like a lot of cals........How many did you get for the day??

Just curious



Posted by: tucker01

Oh it is low, prolly around 1600!! But tomorrow will be around 3400, so it all works out



Posted by: yellowmoomba

I'd go crazy with 1600!! Glad to see you'll make up for it tomorrow



Posted by: tucker01

Yeah it is pretty tough still! Literally gives me a headache

If are teams keep playing the way they are, there will be no chance of them meeting in the Stanley cup. They better smarten up. Stevie Y is gone for the rest of the playoffs by the sounds of things

Great job, Iain!

Posted by: tucker01

Thanks Guys don't know whether to take that as a compliment, or wait and see who is laughing

Things have been pretty good so far, nothing spectacular. Slight DOMS the day after each workout so far, prolly because of the unexpected 2 week layoff prior to beginning.

But all is well so far

Nothing Really to report.

It was an overall good week, nothing really too demanding. I had a few days where I felt leaner (ie forearms) and muscles felt tighter. But that is more than likely due to the Carb Cycling.

After this first week, I have a vision of what is waiting for me in the weeks to come. Should be interesting.

A vision? If its not scary as hell, then its wrong

Was a supposed no carb day, I am fuqqin hating them more and more. I couldn't stand the headache, so had some pasta at dinner since the wife made some

On another note. Still get slight DOMS day after workout. Right shoulder was feeling a little tight during inclines Yesterday, typical for me with increased volume. Will have to watch that. Other than that all is good



Posted by: Rocco32

Keep an eye on your shoulder Iain. Mine did the same thing because of the volume I think. By the end it hurt pretty good anytime doing bench. You might want to widen your grip a bit, that may help

And yeah, the headaches suck don't they ! Looks like your doing great.



Posted by: nikegurl

Good Job Iain! When Phase 1 starts to seem really bad....start looking forward to Phase 2. You'll be there in no time.



Posted by: tucker01

Thanks ng! nothing bad yet, but I see the pain coming.



Posted by: tucker01

Just over 11 weeks, and he has grown like a weed!

Man, you are so lucky that you have a kid to play with. I hope I have kids some day. I want to be a father so bad.

He is very cute ID! Nice pic too.



Posted by: tucker01

Thanks ng, Jodi, Rock, Funky.

Kids are great, I don't know if I am a big fan of the new born stage, just feel so useless, all he cares about is mom boob. Oh well can't blame him. Soon it will be my time No not on the Boob, but with my son.

good workout

Ok the good news no sore right shoulder.

The not so good news a constant clicking in the same shoulder

Some visuals to report, I would like to think that I am looking harder, I know my weight hasn't changed, 2 week measurement check tomorrow Noticed some more vascularity in forearms.



Posted by: PreMier

Why did you switch to hack squats



Posted by: tucker01

I'm a pussy

Wanted to try something different, and I think my form is way out on squats, so it is very frustrating. At least with the Hacks, Form isn't an issue, and I am hitting the targeted muscle properly.



Posted by: PreMier

There is a difference between pussy and lazy Not saying your either, but if you feel your form is bad, then its probably best to switch to hacks. Keep up the good work

Posted by: Rocco32

Good workout Iain. When my shoulder starts popping I just do more stretching and warm-up with very light weight with it. Sometimes that helps, sometimes not. Do you know what causes the popping?



Posted by: tucker01

Well when I was younger, I played pretty competitive baseball, I was a pitcher. Anyway, I can hardly even throw a ball 60 mph now.

Funny thing is it wasn't even baseball that did it, it was a drunken snowball fight at university

Saturday was just a shitty workout day, mind wasn't there at all.

Joints are noticing the affects, not so much that they are hampering my lifts but noticable.

Don't get me wrong with this statement, the workouts are very demanding, but I am finding the mental side affected alot more, and am beginning to have a hard time to concentrating through that many sets, may considering spliting workout, we will see.



Posted by: Rocco32

That was the problem I had Iain! A split will work wonders for you.

Don't get me wrong with this statement, the workouts are very demanding, but I am finding the mental side affected alot more, and am beginning to have a hard time to concentrating through that many sets, may considering spliting workout, we will see.
Split it up and get through it!! You know you can do it!!

Are you doing 6's today? Or splitting things up ??



Posted by: tucker01

I am going to try and do 6's in one workout. I would prefer to keep it as one, I hate getting up early in the morning.

I had a busy weekend, and may have been drained from that, so tonite will be a deciding factor for the rest of this phase.

Don't wuss out and do all of them in 1 workout.



Posted by: Var

The 6's were the hardest for me. Keep with it! I never did a split, so that probably made it harder. You'll get through it.



Posted by: PreMier

Yea, dont split it. I think it kind of defeats the purpose.



Posted by: Rocco32

It doesn't defeat the purpose, if anything it taxes your body harder but also allows it to handle heavier weight!



Posted by: Rocco32

TP even said splitting was optimal!



Posted by: PreMier

Your just trying to spew it out, because you didnt do it in 1 session



Posted by: Rocco32

That's right! I just a bit smarter than that!



Posted by: PreMier

Is it smarts.. or fear

Quote:
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

Ok feeling good about these workouts now including supersets has made all the difference in raising things to another level. Still have the body aches, and starting to find myself napping alot more.

Thats alright 1 more 7 set day and 2 more 8's and then it is on to the next phase

Meals have been pretty clean, other than alot of diet pop Been doing a lot of high carb days lately to try and combat the over training that is beginning to set in

MMMMmmm Diet Vanilla Coke, I am addicted



Posted by: Rocco32

I forget Iain, are you cutting, bulking, or recomping right now? Are you still in the IM Comp?



Posted by: PreMier

Overtraining is fantastic, no?



Posted by: tucker01

Rock,

I am Recomping, wasn't happy with my level of BF to try a bulk, as for the IM comp, I would probably say no, I stopped trying to cut along time ago, and am no where close enough to compete with Riss, Tank, Jenny

Prem, Gotta love it

Yeah, I hear you Prem. I was bulking but mentally I can't do that for too long! And I don't know how to Recomp. So it's bulk, cut, bulk, cut- look same next year for me



Posted by: tucker01

I just don't want to get stuck fighting my easy fat gain consistently

So if I can get my BF to a point where I find acceptable, I will try a clean bulk, I want to keep a relatively lean appearance, it is just too easy for me to get fat, and I hate cutting, so the less the better

The most dreaded day still to come, for what ever reason I don't mind this workout, it is tough but I can accept that.

8b will be a killer for me, I think it is the Squats, they just drain so much from me mentally, because I suck at them.

Anyway, if I wasn't such a fat ass I think there has been some good changes, weigh and measurements this weekend, will see



Posted by: PreMier

Be sure to measure at the end of week 1 phase 2



Posted by: tucker01

Will do Prem,

I know my weight hasn't really changed. Should be interesting, to see what happens after week one :giddysmiliehere:



Posted by: tucker01

Just an FYI, that I am pretty happy about

Went shopping last night for some pants. I usually wear a 36" waist, but could fit into a 34" waist ( a little tight however, just a little, At Old Navy) Anyway the last time I fit into a 34" waist pants was when I dieted before educating myself on any of these sites about 3 years ago and weighed around 195. I am now just under 220lbs.

So in other words I am pretty freakin happy



Posted by: yellowmoomba

Congrats!!

Alright after a few days of thought I retract those statements. I am very happy so far with the progress I have seen in the mirror. And the measurement progress, is decent for a recomp. I forget that I am not currently lean, and that some decreases in measurement will be necessary, ie quads. Start Phase II on Tuesday After Reading peoples journals it looks like this will be a fun phase.



Posted by: Rocco32

I think those changes are normal and it's great that you lost so little size but are happier with the way that you look! The mirror is the best judge, not tape or the scale. Congrats buddy, have fun with Phase II.

What's wrong with those changes? I thought you wanted to recomp? The first phase you lose, well at least I did. I lost fat.

I bet your glad to be over Phase I



Posted by: tucker01

Nothing is wrong with them I just overlooked the expected decreases and was a little demoralized with other measurements. It took me a day to think about my reasoning, to finally realize, that they were decent changes.

Oh and Hell yeah I am glad to be over Phase I. It's funny though, you look at the program before you start, and you think that will be tough but should be interesting. Then you get to it and get your ass kicked. Same thing now looking at Phase II, looks tough but not out of the ordinary, an then I read about all the DOMs, and it won't even sink in till I get to that point.

Fun, Fun



Posted by: tucker01

Some good DOMS setting in on my back, Chest wasn't that bad. Did anyone else notice DOMS the first week of Phase II? I thought it was meant to be noticable in Week 2?

Not a bad thing



Posted by: Var

Nice workouts, Iain! I didnt notice DOMS at all Weeks I or II, but am completely beat up week III.

Yes, I had severe doms the first week.



Posted by: tucker01

Thanks Var

Hmmm, Should I be worried

I can deal with DOMS like these (actually enjoy them ), it is where it is beyond and feels like you are tearing your muscles in half.

Hey Jodi,

I know you said they are pretty bad right now, and comparision to the beginning of the phase?

Diet wasn't too bad over the weekend, other than a few beers on Saturday, and Crispy Crunch Blizzard from DQ on Sunday.

Yesterday was a no Carb day and so will be today.

Thought about going to the Gym after popping a couple of Tylenol w/codeine last night but opted not to. Hopefully tonite the back will be alot better.



Posted by: yellowmoomba

Those DAMN SLDL!!!!

Try a hot tub for your sore back......Mine always feels better after a good soak!!



Posted by: tucker01

Hot tub would be Nice

Just apply heat and try cracking it like my Chiro. Usually takes a couple of Days. Sucks being in an office job most of the time, sitting in a chair is probably the worst thing for it



Posted by: Rocco32

Sucks about your back. I hope it gets better quickly! Looks like a great w/o though!



Posted by: PreMier

Damn, that sucks man. Hope you get better soon!



Posted by: Var

Sorry to hear about your back, bro! Good luck

Get yourself some good muscle relaxors and take a few days off.

I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks Guys, slowly getting better. Even taking the Dog for a walk is a chore. But it is slowly improving.

Great w/o! Hows the back?



Posted by: tucker01

Thanks Rock! Alot better today, It clicked a few times as I sat down to bench last night, That seemed to have set it straight.

You got the count down till your trip yet?



Posted by: Rocco32

No, Lisa does but it's still too far away for me! Glad your back is better! Are you taking a vacation this year?



Posted by: tucker01

No vacation planned just days off so far. I got tomorrow and Monday off, for a nice long weekend Kinda hard to do any vacation things with the little one, both monetarily and phyiscally. I have just under 3 weeks of holidays to use up

Thanks Jodi! Back isn't 100% but it doesn't hurt to walk any more BIG + especially when you need to take the dog out
