Thread: Looking good naked via pain, sweat, tears, and deprivation.

Keep killing it girl!

Keep up the motivation!

Its Thursday, and Im ready to M*&^#er f%$*in HIT IT!

Yesterdays meals:

Spaghetti Squash "Lasagna" (Spaghetti Squash baked with kale, tomato sauce and mozz on top)


Spicy Tuna Salad wrap (1 whole wheat wrap, 2 cans tuna in water, 3/4 tbsp mayo, 3/4 cup of orange pepper, hot sauce, black pepper, no salt sazon to taste)

Im looking for a website that has good healthy foods for cheap. Im looking for gluten free wraps but I cant find them around me. Also Ive started reading a blog: Anabolic Gourmet, and my new project is to find more. Now that I have more time at home I can really focus on my diet.

Todays Breakfast:

1/2 cup Ezekiel Oats, 1 scoop protein powder, milk, blueberries

Yesterday was my off day for P90X, today I'll be doing Chest, Back and Abs. I keep forgetting to get my stats when Im on empty, but I'll try to post weight and everything in the next few days.

Will be watching your log Good luck!

Women are always multi-tasking...

I love it! Sometimes I step back and watch my wife take care of 3-4 things without thinking twice, and then I try to help and get my butt chewed!



OP keep that motivation going strong!

Keep up good work

Glad I'm not the only one this happens to.

And Pony, welcome back.

Hey guys thanks for the support! Im looking forward to keeping this up, hopefully I'll be able to do it for a month straight and make it a habit. So yesterdays ab workout got me eating like a bird. So really I just snacked on fresh kielbasa, cottage cheese, and had a protein shake. Mostly though it was just water.

I have a worksheet for yesterdays workout. Each exercise is done twice, and the numbers represent the reps. the letters are shorthand for the colors of the resistance bands. I used orange 30lbs, black 23lbs, blue 19lbs. I dont have a pull up bar because my apartment has this really pretty ornate trimwork and makes the frame too large for the pull up bar. Pull ups are a goal of mine so Im thinking of a way to make it work.

standard pushups: 24/25
wide front pullups: 15 o&bk/ 17 o&bk
military pushups: 18/15
reverse grip chinups: 14 o&bk/16 o&bk
wide fly pushups: 24/22
close grip OH pullups: 15 o&bk/15o&bk
decline pushups: 20/15
heavy pants: 14 o/10 o
lawnmowers: 31 bl/42 bl (rep counts are for each arm)
divebomber pushups: 5/7
back flys: 14 bl/14 bl
diamond pushups: 15/15


Ok well since yesterdays dinner never got made, Im gonna bake up some basa with fresh dill, garlic and lemon. I like to sprinkle fish with some rolled oats, its so much nicer than breading. I also have grape tomatoes for some salad. That should be enough, Im excited for it.

Almost forgot todays breakfast:

4oz steak, 2 eggs beaten, 1 whole wheat wrap, hot sauce to taste.

I love hot sauce, but Im starting to see how much I use it so I'll start messing with jalapenos. Im interested in checking out anabolic gourmet's protein pasta recipe, and making some homemade ravioli. I would love to find vegan ricotta substitutes. Of course though, if Im using vegan cheeses, Im going to fill it with meat.

OK so today is all about PLYO and WATER. I wanna sweat out a couple pounds with this workout. Maybe I oughta use 2 scoops of Jack3d.

you seem to have this under control... nice log. I hope your objective is obtained.
You have given me two meal ideas. thanks

Wow your impervious to caffeine I can't take jacked3d it give me major headaches.

You have some good idea's on meals, I'll definately have to do some copying.

I had a long, twisted love affair with thermogenics.

So this morning brings some uneasy news, apparently my HGH is bunk and theres a recall. Amazing though, that theres a sponsor on here that takes FULL RESPONSIBILITY for something he got fucked on and is willing to eat cost to make things right. That is the kind of thing missing in this world, and it proves that IMF is a solid community of people looking to make ourselves and eachother better. No better forum!

Yesterdays workout was awesome, I pushed hard and soaked my clothes through with sweat completely. Todays going to be shoulders, arms and abs, and Im totally psyched to hit it hard.

Yesterdays dinner:
basa fillet with dill, cumin, pressed garlic (1 clove per fillet), pepper, oregano, salt
grape tomatoes, 1 small yellow pepper, 1/2 small orange pepper, 1/4c finely chopped onion, oregano, salt, pepper, olive oil and balsamic to dress.

I dont like to use salt so much, but its neccessary in small doses sometimes. I used a little on the fish to offset the strong dill, pepper, and cumin. I also threw a small dash in the salad to bring out the sweetness of the peppers, tomatoes and onions. I guess I was just craving a little salt last night, typically you'l never see me using it.

Todays breakfast: 4oz steak, 2 eggs over easy, espresso

Ok lets do this shit.

Wayyyy better than you last half assed log lol!! Kick some ass ill be here to make sure you dont slack off

Hey thanks man, bout to go work out right now!

Yesterdays dinner consisted of steak and clams my buddy made for a party. This guy does 2-3 Insanity's a day. He's a fucking beast, and a masochist.

Yesterday I did the bonus workout for shoulders and arms. I used black 23lb, blue 19lbs, red 13lbs, green 7lbs, yellow 5lbs.

alt shldr press: 10 bl/11 bl
in & out bicep curls: 15 bk/18 bk
2 arm tricep kick backs: 11 bl/15 rd
deep swimmer press: 16 rd/14 rd

congdon curls: 11 bk/12 bk
side tri rise: R9 L8/R10 L12

Todays breakfast I upped the steak so it wouldnt spoil. Yummmmmmmmm. Tonight Im going to heat up the left over fish, possibly eat it tuna salad style. Right now Im running to start my yoga X, which is possibly some of the best yoga Ive ever done. I think Im going to my gym this week and cancelling my membership. 4 years at the gym and the only workout I ever did that could match this intensity was spin class. Imagine what I could have bought with 4 years worth of monthly Crunch payments...

Last nights dinner was bangin. I had about 2 nice fillets worth of fish left over, so I warmed them up in the pan til they could flake, then flaked them and added a light, light covering of mayo, just so it would stick a little. Not only is mayo gross, but the fish is oily enough on its own. Then I just warmed up a couple of whole wheat wraps and stuffed them. Honestly the fish alone was a little much towards the end, and I think it would be better if maybe I threw some veggies in there and extended it to 3 or 4 wraps.

Im in school this week, I made a beautiful seam in a Corian countertop this afternoon.

6:30am 12oz water, 1 rounded scoop of Syntha 6
7:30am small apple
9:30am 1/2c Ezekiel Flax cereal, 1c almond milk, 1 rounded scoop Syntha-6, 1 small banana
12pm Mediterranean chicken and white beans
230pm handful of almonds
430pm 2 slices warm mexican cheese
630pm 12oz water, 1 rounded scoop Syntha-6

Today I had Legs and Back. For some reason, I only got the pull up half of this on my worksheet so, the lunges arent recorded. However I found a list online so you guys know what Im doing. The lunges and pull ups alternate, the lunges always change, but the pullups are rotated.

balance lunges
calf raise squats
reverse grip chinups : 12 bk/o - 19 bk/o/rd
superskaters
wall squats
wide front pull ups: 15/12 bk/o/rd
step back lunges:
alternating side lunges
close grip over hand pull ups: 15/16 bk/o/rd
single leg wall squats
dead lift squats
switch grip pull ups: 20/17 bk/o/rd
3 way lunges
sneaky lunges
reverse grip chin ups
chair salutations
toe roll iso lunges
wide front pull ups
groucho walk
calf raises
close grip over hand pull ups
80-20 sieber speed squats
switch grip pull ups


I posted all the numbers for the pull ups the first time around, but thats the whole workout, then its the Ab Ripper X, which is the most killer ab workout Ive ever done.


Tomorrow, is Kenpo! I love it because I used to take Karate, and I am awesome at fighting.

Nice! Puttin in work!

Thanks Lats! Today is my off day, and Im wiped out. Although, I feel much more adjusted than I did last week. Im starting to feel a little fatigued during my workouts now, I just push harder to keep up, not sure if I should have a protein shake when I take my Jack3d or what... Yesterday was Kenpo, I started off wobbly and tired, but once my muscles loosened up, I was quick and strong. My upper arm and thigh fat is going away and getting tighter I can feel it when I move. The P90X seems to be working. When I get back from Austin Im going to add morning HIIT workouts to 2 of my lifting days.

Todays meals
730am sm black coffee, turkey and egg on a sourdough bagel, hot sauce (that red chinese one)
930am 1/2c ezekiel, 1 cup almond milk, 6oz black berries
12pm chicken gyro
430pm 12oz protein shake 1 scoop syntha-6, 12 oz water, 1/2 scoop concrete
7pm 2 eggs over easy, 1 serving tempeh

Big day tomorrow. Going to eat eggs in the morning and tuna for lunch so my brain is grinding away on all axles. Austin this saturday. Im posting pics of all the BBQ goodness, food porn! Chest, back and abs tomorrow, Im ready to hit it hard!

Me to, miss the days when SpeedStack had ephedrine, or the old VPX Clenutrex.

If you ever want a break from the caffeine but need the boost for pre-workout I've been taking All-Out by Beyond Nutrition, it's Juggernaut and Joe's here on the boards company.

Great journal so far.

I made your spicy tuna wrap. It was delish
Thanks.
Btw I took jakked for 6 months. Switched to white flood, I like it a lot more actually-just a thought

Thanks man, Im glad you keep comin back Those caffeine free pre-workouts are beyond me - where do you get the energy from? I'll check it out though, I'd rather spend my money supporting a small business anyway.

You're welcome bro, Im so happy you liked it. Im gonna check that out too, I like to switch up my pre workout drinks so I dont get too adjusted. I just finished a tub of 1MR...

Good workout today. I surpassed almost every set last week, so I'll post the difference as well. Today was chest, back and abs. I used the blue (19), black (23), orange (30), and red (13) bands. Ive been working hard to control my stance so I replicate the pull-up motion perfectly. Ive been going for numbers on my pushups, but can still only go halfway.

standard pushups: 30 (+6)/ 37 (+12)
wide front pull ups: 20 (+5) o/bk / 20 (+3) o/bk/+rd
military push ups: 20 +2/15
rev grip chin ups: 19 (+5)/20 (+4) o/bk/rd
wide fly push ups: 26 (+2)/25 (+3)
close grip OH pull ups: 19 (+4)/20 (+5) o/bk/rd
decline push ups: 26 (+6)/20 (+5)
heavy pants: 17 (+3)/10 o <~~made a band adjustment which cost me time
lawnmowers: 29 (-2)/34 (-8)
back flys: 14/20 (+6) bl
diamond pushups: 16 (+1)/18 (+3)
divebombers: 9 (+4)/8 (+1)

Wow, I didnt realize I really fucked up on those lawn mowers. Regardless I have to start using a heavier band, Im doing way too many reps than the exercise calls for. I changed my stance on divebombers to a part of the floor with more traction and slightly widened my hands, which gave me an edge over my last workout.

Meals:

6:30am: protein shake 1 scoop syntha-6, 12 oz water
7:30 am: 2 eggs and turkey on an 8-grain bagel, hot sauce duh
930am 1/2c ezekiel, 1 cup almond milk
12pm lamb and potatoes
3pm 1pkg of almond butter
6pm protein shake 1 scoop syntha-6, 3/4 scoop concrete, 12 oz water

Im gonna go eat now, probs some tuna real quick. Tomorrow is PLYO.

Last post for the night. This is the before pic for P90X, taken 2 weeks ago when I first started. This picture also marks my progress at a little past halfway of my HGH cycle.

Yesterdays workout was intense, I pushed hard as fuck! Today Im trying to fly to Austin, hopefully the NY snow will let up and I can get this vaca started.

Here's a rundown of yesterdays meals:
730am: turkey, eggs on a russian pumpernickel bagel, reg coffee (they fucked it up)
930am: 1/2c ezekiel, 3/4c almond milk, 1 scoop syntha-6
12pm: some egg drop wonton soup, 4oz buffalo chicken salad
7pm: tilapia, sausage

Yesterday was crazy as you can see. That dinner was just what needed to be cooked before my vaca. My flight is boarding, see ya's!
