HIT or Miss: The Chronicle of Rock

[Rocco32]

I don't see me using that much weight in any of those exercises ! EVER !

I've got maybe a few on you Gary, but you normally outlift me! And with more reps!!

 

[Rocco32]

Just about 3 years now. (Almost). Im actually at her place now, shes at practice, Im in her room.

Cool, what's her name and what does she practice?!?

 

[P-funk]

Well, I'll concede to your post if you concede to the fact that you are a strong Mutha.

Agreed! Some of the guys at the gym say they can smell me from upstairs. (get it, strong... I crack myself up )

Cool! I'd get my wife to lift HIT, but I can't get her to lift period, LOL!

 

[Rocco32]

Does the train go there too?!? LOL. That'd be cool to meet you too!

 

[Du]

Yep it does. I take it every morning to work. We could all meet up in NYC, its only like 45 min or so from me.

 

[Rocco32]

cool, that's be awesome!

 

[Rocco32]

Did 45min on Elliptical today. Legs are freaking sore, it's nice

I'm going to try to do a cut for a bit I think. What do you think of 2400 cals a day with a 40/40/20 breakdown? I'll do HIIT or Max OT Cardio 2 x a week and reg cardio 2 x a week.

I know 2400 cals may seem a bit low for my weight (220lb) but I'm pretty sedentiary at work so I'm not doing alot of moving around like I used to at the ER.

What do you all think?!?

 

[JerseyDevil]

My opinion would be to do 2400-2800 cals a day with 40/40/20 macros, and stay with your HIT program and moderate cardio. If you try to cut too quick, you'll lose too much muscle and in the end think 'WTF did I do?".

 

[Rocco32]

Crap, LOL. Just totaled what I've been eating lately. Here it is-

4334 Cals
162g Fat
243 Carbs
478g Protein

No wonder I wasn't losing weight, LOL!!! Back to the drawing board

The cardio I plan to do is pretty moderate don't you think?!? I'm trying to decide if I should eat carbs or lessen them on days I don't lift.

 

[JerseyDevil]

I'm really not that familiar with HIIT or Max OT cardio, but if it's anywhere close to doing 45 minutes, 4 times a week of an elliptical, then that's too much. I think it was Lou Ferrigno that said "if you want to look like a long distance runner... run. If you want to look like a bodybuilder... lift weights." I don't agree with that, but there is some logic in his advice.

478 grams of protein a day ! What the heck where you eating for protein?

 

[Rocco32]

Max OT and HIIT is going all out or going all out for intervals for 16min. I'd do it on the recumbent bike. I'm not getting any exercise anywhere else.

3-4 protein shakes a day with Carb countdown milk.
18oz of chicken
1 can tuna
3 servings of cheese

That's where the protein is coming from. Plus what's in the PB and oatmeal.

LMAO.....oops

 

[Rocco32]

LMAO.....oops

And I've been worrying I wasn't eating ENOUGH, LOL.

 

[P-funk]

And I've been worrying I wasn't eating ENOUGH, LOL.

LMAO......jeez, only 4300 cals!! Are you starving yourself. You need to get up to atleast 6000. Johnny and all his freinds eat that much.

 

[Rocco32]

Well if Johnnny heard it from a bodybuilder at his gym then it must be the right and only thing to do. I'm going to 7,000 just in case.

That looks like a good clean bulk though.

Sure doesn't look that way on me though, LOL! Thanks man.

 

[Rocco32]

Alright, how's this look for W/O day-

Meal 1 Pre w/o- 40g Protein, 1TBSP PB, 1 cup oats raw

Meal 2 Post w/o- 40g Protein, 1 cup oats

Meal 3- 1 cup rice, 4 oz chicken, 1 TBSP Salad Dressing or mayo

Meal 4- 1 cup rice, 1 can tuna, 1 TBSP Salad Dressing or mayo

Meal 5- 20g Protein, 8 fish oil

Meal 6- 4oz chicken in Salad. 1 TBSP Salad Dressing

Meal 7- 20g protein, 8 fish oil

Macros-
2691 Cals
86 Fat

219 Protein (not counting from oats, rice, etc...)

Of course I'll add veggies to the meals, just calculating macro meals.

How does that look? I'm going to post here in an bit what I'll eat when I just do cardio.

That makes perfect sense. Doing a mix of aerobic and anaerobic exercise . That's very similar to doing interval training in track (sprint a lap, jog a lap, etc).
