The Most Biggalicious Journal Around!!!

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




Posted by: bigss75

Trying the journal deal, got the idea from DOMS. Basically I have let myself go, between my testicle injury,irregular lifting/cardio and laziness. Ive gained about 20 pounds in the past 6 months and lost a lot of my strength. So I hope to get back to my old svelte self and get the muscle memory kicking. Also I'm not taking 18 credits right now so school isnt an excuse so its the perfect time to get back in the game.

My stats now
6'4
258 pounds
20-23 %bf

Current goals for September
240 pounds
15-16%bf

My weightlifting will be from the 52 week strength and conditioning series with some tweaks
Bodybuilding.com - Joseph A. Arangio, M.S., C.S.C.S. - 52-Week Strength & Conditioning Series - Main Page.

Cardio will be done 3 times a week ranging from 20 to 45 minutes of various types.


My basic diet outline, with some changes and what not, I like fruit so it might be interchanged preworkout or the oatmeal might be instant or I might add alittle bbq sauce to my chicken. I also like lean cuisine meals so I might eat them with a protein shake if in a hurry.

Meal 1
2 Whole eggs
6 Whites
1 cup cooked oatmeal
1 serving ON 100%
508 f14 c 32 p61

Meal 2 Pre workout

2 serv ON 100%
3/4 cup dry oats
1 table spoon natural peanut butter

cals 555 f 15 c 52 p 59

Post work out
2 serving ON 100
60 grams dextrose
cal 460 f3 c 66 p 44

Meal 4

Large chicken breast
1 cup cooked brown rice
3 cups salad/broccoli/spinach/asparagus
4 flax or fish pills

cals 602 f 13 c 51 p67

Meal 5
2 cups cottage cheese
2 tablespoons natural pb
cals 561 f20 c 28 p68

totals cals 2686 f 65 c 229 p 299


Water:1.5-2 gallons

Supplements:Multi, Fiber pills, lactaid, Greens+, CEE

Cheats: I'll allow myself 2 cheats meals (not gorging) a week if I dont skip any weightlifting or cardio. Probably not going to have a cheat meal until I get my diet on spot.

Anyway, Wish me Luck and feel free to comment!!

How much water are you drinking a day?

I'm always taking lactaid when I eat that much cottage cheese from now on, I woke up in the middle of the night with the worst stomach ache I have had in years.

Yesterday was around 2800 calories not perfect but cleaner then the average diet, I was so sick of chicken and rice I had a lean pocket and a protein shake instead. Did 20 minutes of stair climber before meal one.

Todays meal's hit perfectly as followed. Ill post my workout tomorrow. I jumped on the scale and it was sorta a disappointment Im only at 257.5 but again I started my CEE so it is probably water weight. I so psyched for saturday since its my bday and Im gonna go to a bbq joint and get down on some ribs and a loaded potato. So Im gonna probably throw another cardio session

I dont mean to pick on your journal biggs, but can you make it a bit reader friendly? Like:

Squats
135x6
225x6
275x6
315x6
315x6

Something like that? Just makes it easier to read.



Posted by: bigss75

Sure whatever makes people read it.



Posted by: Double D

Thanks....it does make people read. Theres one guy here (Bigd) or something....he has a journal and its tough as hell to read and no one reads it. I have an easy time reading soemthing then I will definitly read it!

Sorry for not updating the past two days but its been pretty busy to say the least, the on thursday my meals were all clean most of the day but I had a beef and potato burrito at 1 am, it fit within my caloric range but it screwed witht the ratios.

Friday on the other hand, is a different story, my diet was clean untill dinner time, I ate a ton of shrimp, steak, and some cheesey potatoes. Then my buddies took me to the bar last night for my birthday today. I had
two dark beers (New Belgium yum!) and about 3 rum and diet cokes.

Today I woke up and ate a mcgriddle, hashbrown, and OJ. Went to lift and trashed my legs. After doing this routine for about two weeks I really don't think its matches my body at this point while being calorie deficient and my cardio,

Im thinking of going back to pull, push, legs
Here's a sample

Pull
Deads
Barbell Rows
Lat pulldowns
Shrugs
Barbell Curls
Hammer Curls

Push
DB Bench
Incline Bench
Flyes
Skullcrushers
Military Press
Side Laterals

Legs
Squats
Leg Press
SLDL
Leg Curls
Seated Calf Raises


Probably throw in forearms with pull. This will allow me to change rep/ set ranges and exercises.

Had a pretty bad weekend, I didnt eat much healthy. I guess I broke down mentally. On Friday night I ate a chicken toaster from Sonic with tater tots, then Saturday I ate peanutbutter icecream and tortilla chips with guacamole and cheese. Sunday I ate a half a tombstone pizza and 4 beers. My weight really didnt change much 255. I think my training/diet is always on track during the week and during the weekend it goes down the drain

Anyway the diet has been clean will post complete meals for today tonight with legs or tomorrow morning



Posted by: katt

That looks like a "good" bad weekend.. You'll get back on track - sometimes that's what it takes!



Posted by: bigss75

Posted by: katt

OMG, we have a couple at our gym that does the same exact workout 3 times a week, (shoulders) with such shitty form that we are taking a bet as to when they are going to hurt themselves..... and that's after a couple gym members commented to them about it... geez..

Thanks alot Burner, I go to Colorado State majoring in Microbiology. Im hoping to go to podiatry school after I graduate, if that doesn't happen there's tons of Breweries, or Amgen to work around here.

It may sound weird but Ive so many injuries to my shoulders (tore rotator cuff, bone spurs, multiple dislocations) when I do normal overhead presses I get clicks and pops, they dont hurt but its just kinda scary.

Did 30 minutes of cardio yesterday. Watched UFC 74, had a good day. Today was just some stretching. Got some Red Acid from controlled labs, its a stimulant free, "fat burner".

do you always train one bp a day?

wait, i just looked back and I see that its a pseudo push/press? im confused lol



Posted by: bigss75

I did push/pull/legs for awhile but I like going to the gym more then 3 times a week so im going a bp a day



Posted by: PreMier

so why not just go push - pull - legs -push then start the next week with pull - legs - push - pull etc.



Posted by: bigss75

Haven't checked in on this but Ive been pretty hectic with 19 credits and 20-30 hours working. My training has been great but weights have kinda been stagnant. I'm weighing around 243. Ive found to keep losing the weight I should keep carbs under 100 grams. Anyway Im try to keep posting again and spend less time in open chat or looking at pron.

Im bad at keeping up at journals but think this is my turning point, I basically gained back all my weight and alittle some. Ive examined my journal and eating habits and they are bad and not constant. So Im basically making a goal to be in shape to start training bjj in January. It always wanted to do but never had the opportunity or been in shape to do so. I'm sticking to one routine until at least January. Diet has and always has been the hardest part. I usually go so clean that I end up binging. Today I ate so much pure junk, I look at myself and it makes me sick. It reminds me of when I was 13 weighing 270 pounds. I thought I never would get like that but I certainly have, Ive let complacency and laziness overcome me.

My training routine will be based on the Westside for Skinny Bastards Part 3.

Much more to come....

Good to hear you are getting back in the saddle. I stopped lifting and eating right for most of this summer, and my strength and weight all went to crap.

It always wanted to do but never had the opportunity or been in shape to do so. I'm sticking to one routine until at least January. Diet has and always has been the hardest part. I usually go so clean that I end up binging. Today I ate so much pure junk, I look at myself and it makes me sick. It reminds me of when I was 13 weighing 270 pounds.

Did 45 minutes of cardio today. Diet wasn't super clean but it was ok. I drank around a gallon of water. My diet can be found on my fitday link

Pretty good workout. I got thanksgiving break off and have been playing way too much Call of Duty 4. It has to be the best game of 2007 even better then Halo 3. Diet has been so so, not completely bad. Fitday has been pretty weird for me it works on my one computer but not my laptop. Also been looking for gifts for my father, which is pretty hard.
