Diet looks like a winner Paynne. One question. Why the carb up before bed? Also what do you use for the dextrose? (ok I lied, two questions )

Sorry i disagree JD
Try:
M1) Double your eggs
M2) A fat source?? How many grams of protien in your 2 scoops??
M3) how much tuna are you eating?? I eat a 435grm tin.
M4) Pre or post w/o?? Do 1hr b4 w/o, Shake with Nat peanut butter, Straight after w/o another shake with 1/4 - 1/2 cup white rice. That would be meals 4 -5
Drop the snack bar
Then 6 can be 8 oz of lean meat with vege and no carbs, include a fat source (flax or olive oil)
No carb up b4 bed
Non workout day do M4 shake with fat source M5 as meal 6 above and a shake with fat source b4 bed (no carbs)
I try to break my meals into 3hr eats, too many cals your just gonna put fat on, tweak your protien and fats for effective muscle gain

I originally modeled this diet after after "bulking with slow burners" in the stickies. Although I've strayed in a few places by mistake which I'll adress in the next post. It has a carb up with way more carbs than I've been using, I was just experimenting with it.

I use dextrose for dextrose

Given the avi's I'm seeing I think I'll look at this seriously

Double my eggs okie. There should have been a fat source in M2 I somehow started messing that up. The cans of tuna have 6.5 ozs I don't have one in front of me to check gms. Actually I'm going to sprout gills soon from all the tuna...or more likely mercury poisoning so I got canned turkey on my way to work this morning. M4 is Post wo.

I've been gaining about 1/2 pound a week on 3,800 cals which I thought was a tad slow but that's ok if I end up with less fat to cut later.

One thing is that I workout at lunch time so post wo shake is at 1pm. I have to eat dinner with the family around 6pm. So there would be 5 or more hours between m4 and m5, that's why I ended up with 7 meals. I'll work on it and post what I come up with later today.

Next week is a week off. Already planning the next stage. I was thinking of incorporating some of the PRRSII stuff, and perhaps making it P/P/RR/S.

I'll take final measurements this weekend and post em. Progress is slow but steady. It's God's cruel joke, I have the motivation but not the genetics Strength gains are still coming though. Every workout has seen increases.

I only rest about 2 mins even when doing heavy sets. Mostly because I workout at lunch time and I take longer than I'm supposed to as it is. Sometimes it's good to be a government worker, you get away with so much shit

Thanks , I think I will cut back to 2 minutes rest on some wo's like today . I think it was liek an hour and 20-30 minutes . 4 minutes seems like an eternity , i'm use to 50 - 70 minutes. Looking forward to your results and any insight you might have since completing a training cycle.

Good job

Thanks guys!

Building a house is the way to go. We met with the Electrician and told them exactly where we want the outlets, recessed lighting, . I want to move in NOW!

Back/Abs - shock

Pullover 65x9, x10
WG Pulldown 120x9, x10

Stiff arm pulldown 95x11, 100x9
Rev Grip Bent row 120x11, 130x6

CG pulley row 130x8->110x6->90x6

DB DL 80sx8->70sx6->60sx6

Abs circuit


Was going to try burning my left eye out with a hot poker but decided that a dropset of DB DLs would be more torturous. My grip was so fried I couldn't write the reps into my journal for at least 5 mins.

9 week measurements:

.................6/12/04................7/10/04.......8/06/04

weight.........160....................163......... ......165
Bi...............14 1/2................14 3/4..............15
chest..........39 1/4................39 1/2.............40
waist...........32 1/2...............33 ..................33 1/2
thigh...........18 1/4(?)............19 1/4 ...........19 1/8
calf.............13 1/4...............13 3/4..............13 3/4

Not bad for me. I'll take it. I underestimated how many cals I needed and it took me 3 weeks to raise the cals enough. So I was really only hypercaloric for 6 weeks. I'm going to bulk to 170 and then
do a short cut, mostly because that's when my pants won't fit anymore

Taking next week off, I need it. I'm going to emphasize the heavy stuff next time. Perhaps P/P/RR/S with singles/doubles on power week, maybe some olympic moves. I've got a week to think about it. I really like the cyclical thing, even if I don't exactly follow PRRS I'll be doing some kind of cyclical workout.

Since there's nothing exciting to report this week I'll put up a pic of the house such as it is so far. I'd post the next workout for feedback but it's on the harddrive at work.

oOOOoo BritChick's abs made it into my journal . The self effacing stuff in the beginning was tongue in cheek. It's pretty rare when I say anything serious. Thanks for joining

Thanks GW and JD. Yeah a huge IM party would be something. My neighbors would probably be scared to death with all the 200+lb ppl around

Hey Paynne,
That BritChick is gorgeous isn't she ! I bet your neighbors would be curious to say the least. LOL
Is your new home in a "secure" community? One of those that has a gaurdhouse at the entrance ? Kind of like a military base. Not trying to be a smartass just curious. I've seen a few of those and thought they were kind of neat . The homes in those communities are really nice like yours. Any acreage ?
