MonStar's Journal: N.H.E.

Since for the past month or so I have been doing a clean bulk I have decided to jump back on NHE (Natural Hormonal Enhancement) for a while. To those of you who are unfamiliar with NHE I am going to quicky sum up the diet.

Basically its a ketogenic diet 95% of the time, and then 2 meals per week are carb-up meals. Every 3rd and then 4th night are regular carb-up meals. Basically eating as much carbs as one can tolerate in about 30 minutes.

However, the first 7 days of the diet is strictly ketogenic without any carb-up meals at all. This is to put the body into fat-burning mode, but ketosis is not a priority. In the book Faigin mentions ketosis, but talks about how its not an essential part of the diet, at all.

Wish me luck guys! I am currently weighing right around 220 lbs. and my goal is 202-204 lbs.

Back --- 30 minutes

Pretty good back workout today, I started off with a superset of bentover rows and cable rows. Then I moved onto some Hammer Strength stuff, nothing too intense. Did another superset of crossbench pullovers and BTN cable pulldowns, hit my lats and rear delts pretty good.

Finished up my workout with some Cybex rows and then some abs. Going to be doing a few sets of abs every single day just to try a tighten up a little here and there.

Diet/Supplements:

Preworkout: 1 scoop of whey protein + 5g creatine
Postworkout: 1 scoop of whey protein
Meal 1: cheese cubes
Meal 2: 2 hot dogs
Meal 3: chicken salad, coffee + heavy whipping cream
Meal 4: pepperoni
Meal 5: chicken salad

Diet was pretty good today, kept my carbs very low. The chicken salad I kept eating was just chicken, mayo, and some onions, very low-carb. Ended up with less than 20g of net carbs today.

Sleep: 8 hours.

Weight: 221.5 lbs. WOW, much higher than usual. Yesterday I had a huge cheat day and ended up gaining 5-6 lbs. somehow. Hopefully a lot of that is water weight.

Shoulders --- 30 minutes

Really good workout this morning, hit my shoulders really hard for about 25 minutes and then did 5 minutes or so of abs afterwards. Started off with seated DB presses supersetted with DB laterals. Then did some upright rows supersetted with machine laterals. Finished up with some BTB shrugs, and a cable upright row dropset. Overall workout was good, IMO.

Diet/Supplements:

Preworkout: 1 scoop of whey protein + 5g creatine
Postworkout: 1 scoop of whey protein
Meal 1: tuna salad
Meal 2: pepperoni
Meal 3: sausage balls
Meal 4: 2 hot dogs + cheese
Meal 5: hot wings + blue cheese
Meal 6: 1 bag of pistachios
Meal 7: bunless cheeseburger + mayo
Meal 8: 2 scrambled eggs + bacon

Carbs were kept low today for sure, ended up taking in around 20-25g today. Not too bad at all.

Sleep: 8 hours.

Weight: 216 lbs. Down a bit from yesterday. But since my carb intake was so low yesterday I'm thinking its just water weight.

He always does that

Posted by: M.J.H.

shiznit: Yup, lol, new journal already. I was doing a clean bulk for a while and decided that its time that I cut it back a little bit. Plus, NHE is so damn easy to stick to with the frequency of the carb-up meals.

Seanp: Damn right!

Posted by: soxmuscle

are you still doing P/RR/S or when you say your going to do something for life you mean one week?

Posted by: LauraMarie

You just don't stop with the games, do you? New journals every week, lol. You just can never make your mind up huh.

Posted by: Seanp156

So, who's this new member?

Posted by: soxmuscle

This journal won't last... I can't wait to see what journal number 60 is all about this weekend...

Posted by: LauraMarie

I'm MonStar's girlfriend. I'm here to support him

I hope you have a great workout today baby. I love you!!

If you really want to help him, tell him no more new diets, training programs, or journals for at least 3 months, or you'll tell him no more

for at least 3 months.

Posted by: Seanp156

Haha, good idea CD

Who is who's sex slave? I'm confused.

Posted by: shiznit2169

sean p is monstar's sex slave from the way i am reading it

Posted by: Seanp156

I knew after MonStar replied the way he did, this would happen.

Hahaha, he even deleted his post

Posted by: LauraMarie

Huh. Interesting.

Posted by: M.J.H.

This is my old journal now Laura. And you're my sex slave, you fool.

Nothing is interesting.

Don't you have anything better to do? lol.

Posted by: M.J.H.

lol. Come right home and get on my journal, absolutely nothing better to do.

Posted by: LauraMarie

Haha, I know...I was just joking and being sarcastic. Who else would be your sex slave? I know that this is your old journal. I've been coming on here because I want to know more about your diets, workouts, etc. That way I can talk to you about them. Sorry

Does anyone else think that it's funny that someone with a binge eating disorder and wants to lose some flab, has a 95 lb. gf who is a weight loss counselor for L.A. Fitness and they go to Chinese buffets?

Posted by: M.J.H.

LOL @ aggies1ut opposites attract I guess.

no offense, but do you really consider those "meals"???

I bet your fat intake is higher than your protein, and do you ever eat any fruits and/or veggies?

I wouldn't even bother commenting. People have told him this countless of times.

Posted by: brogers

I believe he is doing a ketogenic diet, so keeping fat high makes sense.

Posted by: Prince

looks like a quick way to clogged arteries to me.

Posted by: Rocco32

Wow, I hardly EVER see Rob in a journal. Do you read the journals Rob?

Posted by: Prince

sometimes if I have time.
