Thread: MonStar's Journal: Ripped to Shreds!

sorry to get you confused, i meant that in your stats record right, how many sets and reps have you done (eg, Squat, 500lb - 3 sets - 10 reps).

Shoulders this morning! Early, early workout today. Did some shoulders in my basement. Started off with 3 trisets, overhead machine presses, DB front raises, and finished up with DB lateral raises. Then I moved onto another superset of BTB shrugs and CG cable upright rows. This was all I really had time for this morning.

Diet

F*CK, F*CK, F*CK, F*CK, F*CK.

I went to Hershey Park today and of course, with tons and tons of chocolate surrounding me it was impossible to stick it out on a ketogenic diet. I stuck to my ketogenic diet until around 2:00-3:00 in the afternoon I guess, which isn't too bad. I had an entire low-carb lunch packed but I just couldn't do it. I started off with a huge soft ice-cream cone, and then I had some soda. Then we also got some Dippin' Dots, lol. And we ran out to Taco Bell to get food. I got 6 things at Taco Bell, lol. Then we went back to the park and had some italian ice. And then went to Applebee's after the park and had a sampler appetizer and then 3 desserts! I only ate about one and a half but still.

After all this, I got home, weighed myself. As you can imagine it was a disgusting water retained 226 lbs.

Miscellaneous

Sleep: 6.5 hours.

Not enough sleep, at all.

Thats what you call a cheat day....now just jump back to the kete diet and you'll be fine. If you truelly were in ketosis then it may take some time to get back into that state but you will still lsoe weight before you get there. Its ok to cheat its not ok to make that a weekly thing ya know!

Dipsh!t: Hey man, my weights vary a lot exercise to exercise. If you want to ask more specific questions like what weights and reps for specific exercises I'd be more than happy to answer.

DeadBolt: Dude I ate yesterday until I felt like I was going to be completely sick. I mean an all out binge. The way that I see it though I was carb depleted for 2.5 weeks or so. So I don't think I could have put on too much fat in only 6-8 hours. But who knows, we'll see. Over the next few days I'm sure I'll drop the weight that I gained yesterday. I'm really going to stick it out on this ketogenic diet the next few weeks. All I really care about at this point is being shredded. I've never cared so little about size/strength in my life.

Training

Arms! I was running late again today and I had to train arms in my basement, lol. I shortened my workout up a lot and for biceps I did 3 trisets of standing BB curls, hammer curls, and then cable curls. And then for triceps I also did 3 trisets of French presses, cable pressdowns, and overhead cable extensions. Arms were pumped, especially after all the carbs I consumed yesterday!

Diet

Keeping my calories and carbs very very low today. Especially after yesterday's pig out session. So far today I've had a scoop of whey before and after my workout, and then I had some slices of pepperoni, and then a bunless cheeseburger with mayo. In an hour or so I'll have an omelet and thats it so far.

Tonight I ended up eating some cheese, and then a cheese omelet, and for a snack I had some lunch meat.

Miscellaneous

Sleep: 7 hours.

I can definitely tell that I'm retaining water today. I weighed myself this morning and I was surprised I was down a little at 222.5 lbs. I really think that my goal is a shredded 200 lbs. But we'll see what happens. I want ripped abs, no matter what it takes.

Yea you wont ass any fdat over those few hours.....you will just hold alot of water b/c you were so depleated. No big its good for the body my man and even better for the mind! I'm sure you'll get them killer abz just don't do it to the point of losing LBM!

DeadBolt: I honestly don't feel like I put on too much flab in that couple of hours. But at the same time I feel like I'm holding a bit more water than usual. Yeah I really want to get as lean as possible, we'll see what happens.

Training

Chest day! Did chest this morning in the gym, not a bad workout overall. Started off today with a superset of flat DB flyes and dips, and then a superset of incline BB presses and pec-deck flyes. Then I did a few sets of decline DB flyes and finished up with a dropset of cable crossovers. Did a set of rope crunches and called it a day.

Diet

So far today I've had a scoop of whey protein before and after my workout, and then I also had some pork rinds and ranch dip when I got into work. Then I had a bag of roasted almonds, and this afternoon I'm going to have a bunless cheeseburger with mayo and a ham & cheese omelet.

Miscellaneous

Sleep: 8 hours.

Fell asleep on the phone last night! LOL. I think my ex-girlfriend and I might get back together, for those of you who keep up with my love life, lol.

Are you referring to that girl who came to your journal and made lame posts?

soxmuscle: I'm referring to my girlfriend of almost 10 months, bro. I think it was you that came in my journal and made lame posts, lol.

Back day! I was messing around with my car all day so I missed going to the gym so I had to workout in the basement. I started off my workout with 3 sets of bentover rows, not too bad. Then I moved onto 3 trisets of CG underhand pulldowns, crossbench DB pullovers, and then BTN cable pulldowns. Finished up today with some seated cable rows.

Started off today with a bunless bacon cheeseburger with mayo, and then some broccoli, and then I had 1/2 of an Atkin's bar and some coffee. And then I had a scoop of whey protein before and after my workout. Before going out I had a cheese omelet, and then around 3:30 AM at Denny's I had a sausage and cheese omelet, and a side of bacon, lol.
