Holy sh1t I'm starving tonight lol thank god it's almost lunch time. Does anyone else notice hunger more after doing HIIT VS LIIT cardio??

Absolutely. Not your imagination at all.

 

[Danb2285]

Absolutely. Not your imagination at all.

I know sarcasm doesn't translate well on here so I can't tell if this is or not lol

Nah man, I'm being serious. I've been implementing HIIT into my training for a long time and it definitely spikes my metabolism.

Lol ok. Yeah man I totally agree.

 

[Danb2285]

Last meal of the day (except for my casein/whey shake pre bed)

2 cups romain
3 cups spinach
10 oz chicken breast

Could be the best thing I've ever tasted....might just be the hunger talking though lol

 

[LizKing531]

Lol ok. Yeah man I totally agree.

Totally agree as well

 

[Danb2285]

Totally agree as well

Glad it's not just me then haha

I will say I enjoy the HIIT work a lot more than LIIT (I don't actually ENJOY either but you get what I'm sayin) seems like 15 mins flys by. Friday is leg day though so we'll see how that goes. I can't imagine it's going to go as smooth as it has been.

Trying not to be fat has really made me appreciate the taste of arugula.

Ha...extreme. And of course any other night I'm pretty hungry after work....not last night. But I choked it all down and managed not to puke so that's a win!

Myth busters tested that. Apparently shooting fish in a barrel is kinda hard.

What the.....?!

Hahaha!

 

[Danb2285]

Ugh not a great day in the gym. Beat all numbers from last week and while strength isn't my main concern right now it's always welcome. Long story short the wife had today off work So she let me sleep in and got up with our son. Which in turn led me way over sleep which in turn made me late to the gym and go without breakfast which I hate doing. Especially on leg day. Felt pretty crappy the whole time and cardio was a def. no go lol. Legs were so shaky I felt like I was gonna fall on my face. I'll def have a strictly cardio day tomorrow to make up for it. Here's the numbers for today

Week2 day 4

PWO- 2 scoops condense (mistake on an empty stomach)

Intra- 2 scoops mbcaa
6g CM

Leg curls 90 sec rest
95-20
105-20
140-15
145-12
155-10

SL DL 45 sec rest
135-8
185-8
250-8
230-9

Leg press 3 sec negative 1 sec in the hole 45 sec rest
465-10
500-10
525-9

Smith machine hack squat- Holy hell! I don't know if I wasn't doing these right or if my legs were just shot or what but two words describe my attempt at these-epic fail lol

 

[LiveToLift]

That's rough man. At least your strength was up. When I lift on an empty stomach i feel weak. Think it's a mental thing because just a small snack will make a world of difference. Nice job.

lol, my man! i love mythbusters, I must have missed that one oddly enough.

I hate that feeling man. I would have had more aminos pre and intra, might have helped a bit.

 

[AZMIDLYF]

I'm useless without a couple meals in me before a workout. You still pushed some solid numbers though. :yup:

It's crazy how people differ. I train fasted, but first thing in the morning. I may start getting up earlier to get some food in me before leaving the house to see the difference it makes.

I train fasted too, but its at 4am. If I waited until 9 to hit the gym fasted I would definitely feel the difference

 

[iparatroop]

630 for me but I rise at 515 so not a huge time lapse. Couldn't do it if I hit the gym at 9. My stomach would eat itself.

you know exactly what I'm saying!

 

[Danb2285]

This is actually true. Shooting fish in general is kinda hard. If you've never tried it give bow fishing a shot sometime.

That's rough man. At least your strength was up. When I lift on an empty stomach i feel weak. Think it's a mental thing because just a small snack will make a world of difference. Nice job.

Agreed. I hate training fasted but its probably all mental. I get that really weak shaky leg feeling. No bueno.

I hate that feeling man. I would have had more aminos pre and intra, might have helped a bit.

I actually almost slammed a protein shake after my PWO for that fact. Buuut I didn't. And it was foolish.

I'm useless without a couple meals in me before a workout. You still pushed some solid numbers though. :yup:

Same. I smashed 1/2 cup (raw) steel cuts with 1/2 serving of almond butter and cinnamon in it when I got home and felt 10x better within minutes.

I give you guys credit. I was up for about an hour (which is usually when I'm getting ready to eat breakfast) before the gym and thought my stomach was gonna eat its self by the Time I left the gym. No way I could do cardio fasted either I don't think.

 

[TheSwanks]

I've been training fasted in the early morning for 2 years now so I guess I'm pretty used to it by now. lol

PrWO supps help with that. I never get hunger pangs and I'm up from 5 to 7:30 at which point all I have is OJ and BCAAs. Then at about 830 I drink a macro-heavy shake concoction that's 600kcal. The funny thing is that after I drink the shake, I'm hungry every 1.5 to 2 hours throughout the day.

 

[Lukef2000]

Man I tried the whole fasted training thing man and its def not for me, strength suffers big time, mood is ****ty and post workout I actually can't eat it's frustrating. **** the fasted training lol

Y'all are lucky. My body stores calories. Big time. I tried IF and blew up in a bad way. I'm getting to where strength isn't everything anymore. Mind muscle connection, contraction and pump are more important than a huge bench squat and dl. Don't get me wrong I'd love to squat a grand and pull 850 but I would also like to look lean and mean.

 

[iparatroop]

Don't get me wrong now, I'm not an IF guy by any means. That's just how my morning works out. I eat right after I'm finished with my workout and I eat til I go to sleep.

 

[TheSwanks]

Same here. I just don't have time to eat pre workout unless I get up at 3am. Screw that!! I usually just have a shake post and breakfast around 830 when I get to work

 

[TheSwanks]

I will say that I've had arthritis since I was a teenager. Before using Flexible and fish oil my knees would swell up like crazy after leg day and hurt for days. Now it doesn't happen at all

 

[Danb2285]

I know all about how rough those long tempo bench presses are. makes really light weight feel like armageddon

 

[superbeast668]

I used to despise my trainer for our highschool football team when he'd mess with rep counts like that. Especially the hard paused bench press or a pause in the hole squatting. I used to hate it so much I stopped working legs in school because every week it felt like my first time squatting.

 

[Danb2285]

You killed it brother!

Thanks bud.

Haha I feel like such a girl every time I lay under a BB now. It wouldn't be SO bad if it wasn't at the very end of the workout lol but yeah they're hell.

Dude I look back at it and I wish I would have taken HS lifting more seriously. Imagine where you could be today if you busted ass during football weight lifting like you do now. Perfect example is squats and bench. I blew that stuff off basically but every max I always hit at least 330 on squats and 275-285 on bench...without hardly ever doing them! It's like you take for granted your natural strength and recovery as a teen. Oh the things I'd change if I could go back....lol

[breezy11]

Solid work boss. I didn't go over 185 on flat bench today either haha.

 

[Danb2285]

Fuk it...I wasn't gonna put any pics up until my 8 week progress pics (June 7th) but here's a little sneak peak lol I swear I'm putting on size in my bi's tri's and delts in a deficit! Unless just dropping BF is making things seems larger. These were about a half hour post work out.
