What happened?

Ok physiology experts, what happened to me?

Monday evening I was sitting at 220, Tuesday at 215, and Wednesday at 210, this afternoon 210. I did my normal push day + HIIT on Tuesday evening, and my normal pull day +HIIT on Wednesday evening. I rarely ever do cardio on my lifting days but this week it was do that or skip the cardio all together. I'm not so concerned about the weight, I realize there are many many things this could be. I am concerned about how I look, I look "deflated" and much smaller, is this just a glycogen function or something like that? How can I avoid it? (anything other then the obvious, don't lift back to back days while doing HIIT after) How can I fix it? I look pathetic compared to just a couple days ago, is it just a good carb load tonight?

Are you coming off a cycle by any chance? Did you have any alcoholic beverages recently?

benverner · 11-03-2005, 01:09 PM

no and no

I did yack from my Tuesday evening HIIT, I left that one out. Don't know if that counts for anything.

**P-funk** · 11-03-2005, 01:59 PM

have you been eating many carbs in your diet?

good work.

that is all.

benverner · 11-03-2005, 02:05 PM

My diet has been consistent for the past 4 weeks. Am I on the right track with the carbs/glycogen?

If I am I'll load up a little tonight and make sure on my HIIT days to reload afterwards.

I hope this is the case, man what a difference!

How do we know if you are on the right track with carbs? How much are you eating? or not eating?

I do try...

benverner · 11-03-2005, 03:10 PM

I'm on around 5500 cals a day and try to keep it around 500-550 g's of carbs. I eat 6-7 meals a day. I add a 7th if I'm up past 11, meal 6 is around 9.

I usually come home, eat dinner (meal 5), lift, eat meal 6 and possibly meal 7 later. Although last night I lifted directly after work skipping meal 5 due to some time constraints (I know, I know, bad boy). So now that I think about it I really went from meal 4 @ 3:30 ish to about 8:30 meal 5...I'm glad you asked the question, I think I answered it myself. Now, how do I fix it? Am I wasting my time doing legs tonight?

One workout I dropped 9lbs......all I did was run 5 miles then go to the pool to get a tan.....weighed myself that night and freaked out....gained 5lbs back by the next day....just water...no big deal

benverner · 11-03-2005, 03:27 PM

like I said above, I'm not really freaked out about the weight. I just look small all the sudden.

My weight fluctuates as much as 10 lbs a day so that's no biggy. I was a wrassler, my record was losing 14 lbs in 3 hours to make weight...what a dumbass, just had to binge.

Premiere · 11-03-2005, 06:03 PM

14 lbs in 3 hours????? omfg....how did u manage that man? no eating, throwing up and LOTS OF CARDIO????

benverner · 11-04-2005, 07:57 AM

well I was ballooned up from the week before, I wrestled in the 160 lbs weight class in a tournament to go head to head with the state champ. I then had to cut to 145 by Tuesday only 2 days after the tournament final. The last day of the tourney I was in the 165 range. It was the ballooning that let me strip the weight off...not to say it wasn't a bitch and a half. You'd be amazed what you can do with a treadmill and a plastic suit.

Not sure about the plastic suit but let me tell you what I do with my rubber doll. I blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah blah, blah. The end

Nice!

It sounds to me like a mental thing. Sometimes I feel I look of decent size, and sometimes I feel I like really small. Although water retention is going to alter your appearance somewhat, everyone thinks they look small sometimes I believe.
