MonStar's Journal: Low-Carbs & Low-Weights

M.J.H. · 05-11-2005, 10:49 AM

Decided to come back, and start a journal.

In the past 6 weeks I've been doing low-carb style dieting. Ketogenic diet, Atkin's style, strength has gone down the drain but I haven't lost much size according to my measurements. I weighed 215 lbs. today and I am aiming for 200 lbs. over the next few months.

Like I said it the title I am doing low-carbs, and very low-weights. Lots of supersets and dropsets, nothing too intense because my recovery sucks without carbs. I have been doing a basic split of chest/back/shoulders/arms and doing abs every single day. Trying as hard as possible to NOT do any cardio.

I know my protein intake is low, please don't remind me. I know I am eating crap like hot dogs and hot wings, don't remind me. Its all part of this low-carb diet.

You tried this already

You hated it.

remember?

M.J.H. · 05-11-2005, 12:59 PM

Luke: Agreed, I never feel too well on this kind of diet. But it keeps my appetite low, and I drop fat relatively quickly on this style diet. So, no complaints. I'll do what works.

Wednesday; 5-11-2005

Training:

Seated DB Press / DB Lateral Raise Superset
3 sets of 10 with the 45's, 3 sets of 7 with the 20's

Upright Row / Bentover DB Lateral Raise Superset
3 sets of 9 with 95, 3 sets of 12 with the 15's

Smith-Machine BTB Shrug
2 sets of 20 with 175

Vertical Knee Raise / Rope Cable Crunch Superset
2 sets of 15, 2 sets of 12 with 160

Good shoulder workout today. Since my workouts are a lot of supersets, my workouts are only lasting 20-30 minutes lately. I usually get out of the gym very quickly. And keep my rest periods almost always under 60 seconds. As you guys can see I'm going very very light. My ROM is on point and so is my muscle contractions, however. So I think the trade-off is worth it.

Diet/Supplements:

Preworkout: 1 scoop of whey protein, 1 scoop of Swole, 5g l-arginine, 25mcg T3, 25mg ephedrine, 200mg caffeine
Postworkout: 1 scoop of whey protein
Meal 1: ceasar salad
Meal 2: walnuts
Meal 3: pork rinds + ranch dip
Meal 4: 2 scrambled eggs + bacon
Meal 5: 3 hot dogs, 25mcg T3

As you guys can see I'm keeping my carbs as low as possible. Usually less than 30g of active carbs per day. I try as hard as possible NOT to refeed. Unless I am feeling like I am going to binge and in that case I'll refeed. But I try to keep them as short and infrequent as possible.

Sleep: 8.5 hours.

Weight: 215.5 lbs.

LW83 · 05-11-2005, 01:16 PM

damn, I want YOUR diet.

soxmuscle · 05-11-2005, 03:09 PM

So when you realize that your not a strong enough person to break your binging you consider it acceptable because you took out carbs?

I don't. Hot dogs, bacon and pork rinds? No thanks.

If I were to try a low carb diet, I'd want my protein/fat sources to be steak, steak, and steak.

I don't think I'd wanna have TOO much steak. I'd mix it up with chicken

I can't stand hot dogs/bacon n/e more. They make me feel awful

Luke: It gets old really fast bro, trust me. And plus after 5-6 days you feel so damn depleted its not even funny. But the fat-loss that comes with the diet makes it all worth it.

soxmuscle: I lost you bro? I think what is acceptable by taking out my carbs?

CaptainDeadlift: Trust me bro, steak is definitely a huge part of the diet. It just gets really expensive really quick. I would eat it everyday if I had the spare cash. I absolutely love filet mignon.

Mudge: Thanks for the link bro.

Cardinal · 05-11-2005, 09:13 PM

Congrats on reaching your goal of 215. From what I remember from some old journals, that was what you were shooting for. You'll be ripped to shreds down at 200.

Sox: Lost you on that one also. Looking at the last day's diet, that is a very long shot from binging.

soxmuscle · 05-11-2005, 10:50 PM

You eat shit, you can't stop eating shit, no supplements will work to give you the results you need; so now your relying on a diet that makes you feel tired and lacking energy just so you can eat shit and thats acceptable?

If you really wanted to be the best you could be, binging wouldnt be a problem, and the hot dogs and gross shit that your eating on this low carb diet would be thrown out the window.

LW83 · 05-12-2005, 05:18 AM

what helps me is the saying "you are what you eat".

If I get a craving for nacho's and cheese; I ask myself 'do I want muscles made out of nachos and cheese?'

Fuq no

M.J.H. · 05-12-2005, 11:56 AM

Cardinal: Thanks for stopping by my friend. I agree that I really think I should be nearly shredded at 200 lbs. I was 200 lbs. a few years back and I barely had any flab on my midsection at all. I felt great, at that weight. Its just hard for me to maintain that weight for whatever reason. Thanks again for the post.

soxmuscle: Thanks for the advice. But I'll stick to what works.

Luke: I'll post some pics in the next few weeks. I'll have to show you guys I am not what I eat, lol. I get more comments now on my size/development than I ever have in my life. And its been about 6 weeks now I have been on a low-carb style diet.

Stu: Thanks for the support bro.

CaptainDeadlift: LOL, me either.

M.J.H. · 05-12-2005, 12:00 PM

Rope Cable Crunch
2 sets of 20 with 160

Nice intense workout today, really hit my arms extremely hard. Started off with BB curls supersetted immediately with incline DB curls---beat the hell out of my biceps. The incline curls give a great stretch, by the way. As you guys can see I'm going much much lighter on every single exercise. I feel much better going lighter on everything, because my ROM and muscle contractions are so much better.

Diet/Supplements:

Preworkout: 1 scoop of whey protein, 1 scoop of Swole, 5g l-arginine, 25mcg T3, 25mg ephedrine, 200mg caffeine

Meal 4: tuna salad
Meal 5: scrambled eggs + bacon
Meal 6: pistachios, coffee, 25mcg T3

Sleep: 8.5 hours.

Weight: 211 lbs. Wow, down a bit since yesterday. Maybe I'm dehydrated?

Pec-Deck Fly / Dip Superset
2 sets of 10 with 140, 2 sets of 7

Hanging Knee Raise
2 sets of 12

Really good chest workout today, although it was definitely short. Started off with an incline BB and fly superset, beat up my pecs with that. Moved onto some cable X's with flat DB presses, and finished up with some pec-deck flyes and dips. Did some quick abs and called it a day.

Diet/Supplements:

Preworkout: 1 scoop of whey protein, 1 scoop of Swole, 5g l-arginine, 25mcg T3, 25mg ephedrine, 200mg caffeine

I'll meat you in the middle.

M.J.H. · 05-13-2005, 03:02 PM

Luke: LOL, you're too much bro. So far I am feeling pretty damn good. I took the night off on Tuesday, and started back up low-carb style Wednesday with the start of this journal. And so far I have no complaints. I am noticing my foggy-mindedness a little, and my energy isn't as great as it could be, but eating hot dogs and cheese I can't complain!

M.J.H. · 05-14-2005, 10:12 AM

Saturday; 5-14-2005

T-Bar Row / CG Cable Pulldown Superset
2 sets of 8 with 180, 2 sets of 6 with 140

Rope Cable Crunch
2 sets of 20 with 160

Damn I was exhausted today in the gym! Horrible amount of sleep last night, but overall my workout wasn't too bad. Did a lot of supersets, which really hit my lats hard. Did some BTN pulldowns and pullovers, nice superset, good stretch. Did some rows, and then finished with a t-bar row and pulldown superset. And then some quick abs.

Diet/Supplements:

Preworkout: 1 scoop of whey protein, 1 scoop of Swole, 5g l-arginine, 25mcg T3, 25mg ephedrine, 200mg caffeine

M.J.H. · 05-15-2005, 08:46 AM

soxmuscle: I think it was partially because of the low-carbs but also because I only had 5 hours sleep. Have you ever done a low-carb diet bro? I always encourage people to actually try it before they talk about how awful it is. The amount of fat you lose in the time is really amazing.

I think Sox's reply had some sarcasm in it buddy

I have and I think it's horrible for your body and retaining muscle. I really woulda thought all the times you've "done" this you'd a learned by now. Your like a blind mouse that continually runs into the same wall

But hey, enough people at one point cared about you and and took their precious time to try to help and educate you but it's like talking to a polite brick wall.

Horrible amount of sleep last night, but overall my workout wasn't too bad. Did a lot of supersets, which really hit my lats hard. Did some BTN pulldowns and pullovers, nice superset, good stretch. Did some rows, and then finished with a t-bar row and pulldown superset. And then some quick abs.

Then took a 1.5 hour nap after I got home from the gym. I am still exhausted. Weight: 209 lbs. Down another pound since yesterday. No complaints. Last edited by M.J.H. : 05-15-2005 at 08:45 AM.

Have you ever done a low-carb diet bro? I always encourage people to actually try it before they talk about how awful it is. The amount of fat you lose in the time is really amazing.
