Rob & Steve Smoke a joint

[Robboe]

Again, did some interval sprints this morning at about 9:30am after a cup of coffee for about 5-10 minutes. Nothing particularly brilliant though cause i'm still quite unfit.

I've noticed i'm nowhere near as fast as i used to be a few years ago. I put this partly down to being so deconditioned for the activity, but also to the amount of weight i'm carrying around at present. I've never been above 16st before, so this is proving to be a big factor in it.

About 7:30pm i hit the gym to train back and biceps.

Strength hasn't changed, which is just as well since i've only been in diet mode for 3 or 4 days.

Workout summary:

Back: 10 sets
Traps: 2 sets
Biceps: 5 sets

All in all a very productive workout.

Today diet has been dead on.

 

[Twin Peak]

Meh.

I trained delts and hams today, and polished that off with cuff work. I had good energy from all the sushi I ate last night. It was good. Then I did sprints -- two to be exact. All out for about 30 seconds each, and my heart jumped out of my chest and choked me, it was so pissed.

Meals.

- 3 HEAT, washed down with a double cup of java.
- 1 scoop of whey and my workout blend during and post workout
- around 12 I had another 3 HEAT, 2 SesaThin, 2 fish oil caps (I didn't have my 7-OH dammit)
- 1:30 I had a block of no fat feta cheese, ~275 calories, and Diet Dr. Pepper
- 6 pm more Dr. Pepper, and more HEAT/SesaThin/Fish Caps
- 8 pm pork loin chop and some spinach

Alright, so I had 4 pork loins, kill me.

Hard transition, isn't it? I bought 7 bottles of pickles for the first week so that I have something to eat when I crave.

 

[Jodi]

Ewwwww Pork

I eat eggs twice a day and fish twice a day, talk about transition. A seafood lover I am but I'm really get sick of tuna and cod.

 

[Twin Peak]

Yeah, I may need to start the hoodia sooner rather than later.

Technically, yesterday was the first day of your diet, does this not constitute as a "cheat"?

Is there some dog food consumption on the horizon so soon?

 

[Robboe]

Update:

Legs and calves are mildy sore from the sprints.

The worse affected bodypart are the tendons of my ankles and in my feet. I can't even rotate my foot without pain.

Rear delts are sore from last night's back work.

I can't really call Steve a cheat by the way, since today is one of my best friend's birthday and i told her ages ago i'd take her out for a few drinks, thus tonight will stray from diet and consume alcohol. However, this has been planned for a long time when i knew i'd be cutting during this time so it's not like it's unscheduled. This Will be the only consumption of alcohol for about 2-3 weeks (until the next birthday or special occasion) so i'm gonna do some hardcore dieting until then.

Note that i will be sticking to diet up until the actual first sip of an alcoholic beverage. I'm going to persuade myself not to get my usual after-hours subway.

I have a weekly scheduled drinking appointment on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, but I am strong-willed and will not let alcohol run my life. But I can see how some people would be so weak-willed and alcohol-dependent that they would need to drink.




BTW, I think the only way we gauge cheating is whether or not we meet our goals.

No Robert. Read my carb cycling article....as much lean protein as I want.

Correct. And I won't be drinking during this time at all, which pains me.

 

[dj_diablo54]

I am doing the same thing while cutting. No drinking which hurts me but makes everything so much better. the only draw back is i a will not get as much ass since i won't be doing any really ugly chicks cause i will be sober

 

[Robboe]

Oh Bog Off, you.

Dale too.

Trained chest. A productive workout.

Summary:

Chest: 10 sets.

I've stuck to diet today, but as mentioned, tonight i will part-take in some alcoholic beverage testing.

 

[Dale Mabry]

I will be surprised if I make it more than 1 week w/o beer.

 

[Dale Mabry]

A couple of peeps have yet to put up pics...

 

[Twin Peak]

I have a new computer, and need to load my camera software on it. But I took the pictures and they look god-aweful.

Day 2.

My first four days of dieting (yesterday through Saturday) will be No Carb, Low Carb Minus, Low Carb Minus, and Low Carb.

I listed yesterday's meals, which were intentionally low calories to kick things off and drop water. Today will be quite low calories again. I will not list my supplements that do not have calories, since I am being consistent with what I stated before.

- 1 scoop whey concentrate
*lift
- 1/2 cup oats, 1 scoop whey isolate
- 2 small pork chops
- 1 tin tuna
- 2 small pork chops

Today was quad day. I prefer to train quads on there own, because I hate training them, and any excuse to focus on another bodypart will prevail. I have been mildly sore all week, which is nice; I like being sort. Its been almost two days, and I am still fat.

Mood. It sucks today. I don't know why. I just feel real mellow and melancholy. I haven't been hungry, and I am pretty motivated, and I have done much lower calories before. I am just off and as a result have needed to restrain internal anger at times today. This is not like me at all. Perhaps it is just PMS.

Damn, I think you're right; from what you describe I diagnose PMS. You're officially becoming a big girl's blouse.

Still, look at this way - there aren't many girls around with 17"+ arms, you'll be everso special (and not just the short bus kind this time). Happy to have helped, call me anytime.

 

[Robboe]

Did the sessions of sprints have any negative effect on your quad training, Steve?

 

[Robboe]

Damn, I think you're right; from what you describe I diagnose PMS. You're officially becoming a big girl's blouse.

lmao.

I fucking LOVE the phrase "Big Girl's Blouse". Makes me think of my mam calling me it when i was younger.

 

[Twin Peak]

Damn brits and their phrases. Still, nice to see you around Sarah.

No, Rob, it didn't.

 

[Dale Mabry]

Damn brits and their phrases.

You got that right Guv-na.

 

[Dale Mabry]

I would just like it noted that it is Friday night/Saturday Morning at 1am and I am NOT shitfaced.

 

[Robboe]

You want a medal?

No, Rob, it didn't.

Mine did. Slightly.

Trained thighs today. Strength was still more or less there, but i can "feel" my legs weren't at their strongest, and my stamina on sets was somewhat effected.

Workout summary:

Quads: 7 sets.
Hams: 4 sets.

Then did a 10 minute power walk on the tready. I've a bad feeling my shins will be sore tomorrow.

Tomorrow i have done a full week's dieting, but it's far too early to give any feedback about how it's going.

I must admit, i'm enjoying this more frequent training business. I'll probably be eating these words in a few weeks when i begin to resent the gym, but for now, i'm looking forward to every session, and having bodypart training fall on different days everytime is certainly a nice refreshing feeling.

 

[Twin Peak]

The sprints might have had an effect, if I went more than two sprints.

Today's diet wasn't stellar. Calories were still low, so I should be okay, but it was not a model day. I wasn't home, and I didn't pack food, and I was at the Javits Center all day.

Diet yesterday was spot on. Arm training was quite good yesterday. Tomorrow is a no carb day.

 

[carbchick]

Meals.

- 3 HEAT, washed down with a double cup of java.

double it up and you have the breakfast of kings.

 

[Robboe]

Weight today after a full week was 15st 10.5lbs (220.5) so i'm down like 3lbs, so i'm on target. Made my first mild dietary change.

Trained shoulders and triceps, and it went very well indeed.

Summary:

Delts: 9 sets (seems a lot, but 3 sets were light for my overhead pressing).
Triceps: 7 sets.

Did some abs after (there's something about a diet that actually makes me think doing a few sit-ups will make a difference).

And since i was supposed to sprint this morning (but couldn't cause my gym shuts early on weekends) i did a 12 minute power walk on the tready.

What is this place you speak of?
