DaMayor Can't Get Squat Done
Alright, that's it...I'm changing gyms. I can't stay focused in this joint anymore. My workout started off badly when, after two sets of DB press, I walked over to get a quick slurp of water, only to return to find that the bench I was using was gone. Hijacked. In fact, all three of the benches had been moved out of the DB area, to the middle of the gym by the Nigerian Trio...these Brothers who like to do excercises together...yes, simoltaneously...like a freakin' free weight Flashdance or something.
So, I figure I'll just swing over to the Hammer incline and knock out a few reps...Nope. This muscle-tee, ipod,sunglass-wearing Homie, apparently the alternate for the Nigerian Trio was doing DB curls there....on the damn machine seat...the machine that was made to press, not sit on while doing freakin' curls...WITH TERRIBLE FORM, I MIGHT ADD. Okay, so my timing's off. No problemo. I'll just start over...change my circuit. I'd been doing a lot of thinking about squats lately....really don't do them nearly as often as I should, and had planned on doing them today, even if the weight I pressed wasn't what I wanted it to be...because you know, you can push ten plates a side on the leg press, but it will never hit those legs like squats will. So I'm pumped,jacked and psyched to get these damn squats over with.....turn around...NOOOOOO! DENIED! The squat racks were all occupied by, you'll never guess who......THE NIGERIAN TRIO! BENCH PRESSING! ON MY DAMN BENCH THEY STOLE THIRTY MINUTES EARLIER! IN THE SQUAT RACK!
So I got on that machine right behind the tread mill...the one with the hot chick on it.... and watched her bootay bounce for ten minutes and left.
I may be working on a cookbook soon.![]()
I can't wait to make my first tuna, mustard and peanut butter casserole!
Mmmmm!

actually, try 2 egg whites, a little hot sauce, 1 tsp of psyllium hush powder and a can of tuna. mix it into a patty shape. Fry it with Pam and you have a tuna cake that tastes like crabcake. Put a tsp of salsa on it. Salsa is exceptable on PSMF.
What is with you and psyllium? lol ... oh and btw is psyllium hush the quiet version![]()
signed smart ass !!
p.s salsa is exceptable ... then i like PSMF (if i knew what it friggin stood for)
White rice and dextrose. Neither of these induce bloat. Load creatine and remain active throughout your carbup - you'll reglycogenate better, and you'll feel better - the movement induces the translocation of glucose transporters, and this means better glucose uptake with less insulin to fuck you up.
Cheers.
Ah, but that was yesterday. Once I crash and burn through the atmosphere of ketosis, I'm good to go....my pants are no longer grumpy.DONUTQUEEN said:Question though. When I was a moody monster yesterday you ran away. Now your the grumpy pants!
Well I still am as well ... hence how I know things are coming to an end ... want to punch everyone in site ... stay clear ... took up boxing in Jan and you might get your hurt on

Ruh Roh...this doesn't sound good.(Casually laces up his track shoes)
Now you, dear woman.......I've seen your psychosis~like wrath in the past.Contrary to popular belief, DaMayor ain't no dummy. Chick+Stress+Strict Diet=Danger...Danger Will Robinson!

One thing I have been thinking about concerning refeeds...Lyle gives a range of 1.5~3.0 grams of carbs per pound of LBM. Since I started Cat2 at (what I considered to be) a questionable "weight", I'm wondering what effect the higher end of the range would have vs. the lower. Last (actually the first on this diet, anyway) refeed, I went for 3.0g/lb. ...didn't have much of an effect on my weigh-in a day or so later, and not much of an effect overall, as far as I can tell.
It is really hard to make this call this early on, but due to my past history of stalling/hitting a plateau, I'm thinking that the higher range might actually be better for my system. And...I'm trying not to confuse results of the past; which were nowhere as dramatic as those of the present, and may have been due to many other factors back then (over training, inaccurate macro tracking,etc.) that I have since corrected.Overthinking?
(By the way, J'Bo, when last we spoke I was solidly stuck at 236lbs. I later managed to get up to a hearty 250lbs. I am now, with much thanks to our now mutual Guru MariAnne(aka Built) down to 208lbs., and soon all on the East coast will hear a loud Rippp!!! Which would be the sound of my shirt when I metamorphasize into Da Hulk.....or Da Hunk..whichever you prefer.
)
Oh, I almost forgot...
For those of you who are eagerly tracking my Macros, lol...1,048 Calories,16.4g Fat, 7.9g Carbs., 207.2g Protein.
So, we survived the refeed. Yesterday was a total dietary disaster, (I didn't eat my minimum anything) but we'll get back on track today. Just have a lot of things going on.....time to get out of the restaurant biz, and have the mind blowing task of figuring out what I will do next....

I tell my clients this when they say things like i highlighted above ... "i am sorry i have my filter on ... you cut out when your making excuses" ... EVERYONE has things going on DM ... make your mind and body a priority because your worth it ... life will wait and the stress of business and whatever else is going on will always be there ... your health may notI say this in the most supportive and caring way possible xx
punkass whimpy bastid.
Well, I'm glad someone said it for me!
C'mon Mayor.. That's not the enthusiasm you had three pages ago!
Well, I tend to get a tad defensive when folks make light of my business endeavors. Don't get me wrong, I'm not angry at anyone, I just have a lot to consider/deal with in the next few months. People don't understand how difficult the restaurant biz is....especially in this town. AND, I like to win......so, this whole "my hands are tied" thing is frustrating.....SIX YEARS, folks..that's a long time to be broke, lol....sigh.

Dont you worry I am not going to throw a hissy fit my love. I in no way shape of form was trying to make light of your business endevors at all. Many others have alot of heavy duty things on their plate. What I was trying to say (and obviously didnt do it in the proper way) was that regardless of what is going on I KNOW that you have the power and persistance to keep your nutrition on track AND make the right decisions for your business. Your a strong man YOU CAN DO IT !!
You know me and I am never one to sugar coat anything and I call it like I see itAs frustrating as being broke is (trust me I know all about it) the business is your passion and you will find a way to make it work if that is what you want. GIVER BALLS!! 6 years in the business is a HUGE accomplishment in itself .. so in the name of a wonderful 80's song YOU GOT THE POWER !!!
Squats....my new love.
Man, how could I have nelected to do something as ass~kicking as squats for so long?Finally got my old butt back under the bar....didn't feel half bad, really. Of course, since I was borderline paranoid about form I started off very slow/light (185/225), I could have done much more, but I didn't want to push my luck on the first date, especially without protection, y'know.
Even got some rack pulls done today....would have been a lot better if I could have held the bar....but I was glove~less and belt~less today, so I'll deal with that later.
All in all, the change was just what I needed...until I got all cowboy'd up doing leg extensions and tweaked my neck....nothing ibuprofen can't handle.
Bear with me, folks. The next two and a half days might be a little bumpy. Seems that the transition into keto-land has made me a little more volatile than I'd prefer.....

Nice to see that you're squatting. And definitly a respectable weight after being off for so long. What was your sets/ reps on those?
