How do you feel strength has been holding up?

It's hard to say based on Mondays workout, this week kinda got screwed up, I'll be back on track with Chest/Tri's/Shoulders/swim workout and will compare strength then.

Busy day, didn't get a chance to workout. This week is messed up a bit. But staying strong with diet, cravings have been good, no cheat meals for me!


LeanGain Diet thoughts- 184.6lbs weighed the same weight this morning, I blame the blueberries and pineapple last meal lol. I'm gonna get in a crazy big kickboxing workout, def gonna drop some weight today!


Day 3 Caffeine break......
Ok this one is harder then the last break I failed, headaches were really bad yesterday. I don't know if I can go without caffeine for this workout, Im thinking since I've been taking around 300-350mg of caffeine pre-workout lately maybe I should still take some pre-workout but only 1 scoop of N.O Ignite...........need to slowly get off some how lol. Should I go with a scoop or try the workout cold turkey with no caffeine ????

 

[Milas]

Do a scoop, the CNS is resilient!

 

[JudgementDay]

I BELIEVE YOU ARE RIGHT MILAS, NO NEED FOR ANY OTHERS OPINIONS, CAFFEINE IT IS :yup:


o man im addicted to my sweet stim called caffeine :fool2:

 

[Milas]

Dude, I am up to 5 Spirodex a day, and that's on top of pre-workouts and coffee. I think I'm going to bump it to 6...

[JudgementDay]

damn...thats significant in that short of time. i can lose 10 pounds during an 8 hour shift when weather is really hot, but to lose that much just during a workout is amazing!!!

I've lost up to 9 pounds before in a workout but ya when I get around 5-7 pounds I know I had a good one Plus I drink about a litre of Xtend during this workout. Heaters were blasted in the room lol.

On UFC all access for Brock Lesnar they said he will lose up to 20 pounds in 1 training session LOL

[ConcreteConny]

How much cals are you getting in per day JD?
I am already sick of cutting:lol:

Ya I saw that on your log, I just commented.

Um on workout days I'm guesing about.....2000-2200 on workout days and 1700ish on non workout days.

I'm cutting pretty fast, I'm a little surprised, I'll see how this keeps up. I'm very excited to see where my strength is at for Monday and Tuesdays workouts.

Yeah, hopefully everything goes well for you. I am sick of having no energy to lift or even go running

 

[JudgementDay]

I'm trying to take a caffeine break as well, I've been on it 3 years really strong.....I need a break!

I took tues/wed off caffeine and only about 100mg today, I'm gonna try 50ish mg tomorrow.......hopefully I can try stim free Monday. I really wanna take6 weeks of stims and if I can just get off them for good.....

I know what you mean. I have been using stims for as long as I can remember myself really. Only time I take a break is while on cycle really
Looking forward to my (stim free) September bulking cycle already

 

[MrKleen73]

WOW JD, your workout day cals are really low, taking this to a full blown cut I see instead of going the recomp route.

 

[JudgementDay]

Ya but I seem to be cutting faster on 2000-2200 cals then I have ever before. I don't know if it's my metabolism but at 2800 cals my body really seems to start bulking.

 

[VolcomX311]

If I eat a bowl of rice I'm bulking, like immediatey, I hate it.

 

[Rahl]

If I eat a bowl of rice I'm bulking, like immediatey, I hate it.

LOL. I'd have to eat at least 3500 before I start gaining. Trust me..it's a bitch the other way too.

 

[JudgementDay]

I hear ya, like for last year in April I cut down to 170 then with in 3 months of bulking I was at at 210lbs, I put on weight way too fast, which sucks because I freaking love food lol

LOL. I'd have to eat at least 3500 before I start gaining. Trust me..it's a bitch the other way too.

I wish I had that problem lol

 

[Milas]

It's pretty good, I can adjust gain/loss relatively easily. I'm eating >4400 calories right now, and while adding weight I'm not getting terribly fat.

The hardest part IMO is restricting calories, eating is a real pleasure! I'd do it more if I could! Helllooooooo Indian buffet!

Damn 4400! You get all those cals on the LeanGains diet?

Maybe the fat isn't coming on as fast with the LG diet, I may have to try this if I plan a bulk again. Have you tried experimenting with say a big Pizza post-workotu ? lol, I wonder if the diet would help not gaining as much fat if ya half a couple post-workout cheat meals a week lol

I've been craving the Pizza bad!

 

[EasyEJL]

that blows. Thankfully I don't have any of that sort of thing going on. Last night I had dinner at Panera, so one of their sandwiches, then after went to cold stone creamery and had ice cream, and woke up a pound lighter than yesterday.

Yes, I ate a pizza for one of my meals, not post workout (AM fasted workouts) but it was thankfully a working day.

Thin crust Large Dominos with double chicken, double bacon, double ham, double pineapple, mushrooms, and onions. It was deeeelish (but not as good as the Indian buffet)!

The nice thing with Dominos is they have a calorie calculator on their website so you know just how bad your pie is gonna be!

I've actually been having a hard time keeping to 4400 calories. Some days I need to eat something extra at the end of the day, but then I remember something else I ate earlier so I end up busting 4400 by a couple hundred or so. Last night it was frozen yogurt with Butterfinger topping I forgot... whoops!

Oh good gawd with the double everything pizza!!!!! [sigh....] Pizza is my kryptonite. I just ate right this minute and that stirred my appetite.

Nice update!! I notice sometimes vascularity can be up or down depending on what I recently had in my diet. After a big a$$ meal (like after breaking fast) and with a decent amount of carbs my vascularity shoots up soon after, but on my lower carb/cal cardio and rest days its down a little usually. Just seems that way to me
