Hello All:
Looks like some interest so I'll give some more detail. Tomorrow is day 24 at 75mg of LMG it is also my first day being cleared to lift heavy. I've been working out high reps light weight and just getting my cardio back.
Last Month I had surgery and I guess I'm known as a survivor now. Anyway I've been given a second chance and I there were some things I wanted to do with that getting back into the cage at least one more time being one of them so this cycle is centered around cutting weight and fat while retaining lmb and strength.
I know alot of people say this on a cut diet but mine is extremely on point although I'd like to say it's do to willpower an determination it's more a medical necessity since although I had a great surgeon who got everything out that he needed to during the process I also lost part of my stomach and what is remaining had to be held together by staples. SO my diet might not be what everything thinks is great etc but it is based on what I can physically handle.
My diet looks like this I get 4-5 solid meals a day consisting of 12-14 ounces of food. The meals are the same the whole day since I have to cook and pack tupperware they very day to day but not the amount of food. I will have 6-8 oz of a lean meat steak, hamburger or chicken and then the other portion is a mix of brown rice and vegtables. I can take in complex carbs but sugar carbs are a no-no for my body at the moment which good for me but hard.
I will get baseline lifts this week. and I am down approx 12lbs since Oct 11.
Pre Operation I had a bench of 275lbs and could do 225lbs for sets of 8
DL was 295lbs with sets at 250lbs. weight was around 165-167lbs.
Supplements I take are b-12 injections and vitamin D prescribed. Gaspari Anavite which is a multi + beta alanine and l-cartine (spelling/)
The month of December will be getting strength back and cardio I am hoping to be cleared to grapple in January. As you can probablly guess I've had numerous rounds of blood tests and my liver, thyroid etc was all normal with low b-12 and D being the exception.(Absorbtion Issues.)
Work out are extremely basic with no more than 2 exercises per body part rep range will be 10-12. Heavy compound Bench, Deadlift, Rows, Leg Press, nothing fancy.
I guess this post is pretty long but wanted to give some detail as to why I work-out the way I do and why my diet is the way it is.
For the 1st 3 weeks LMG is doing what I hoped I have only dropped 2lbs despite the 12 oz meals and increased cardio. The body weight is all I can speak as of the moment oh well libido hasn't been affected either for those worried about that. and increased acne back of neck and upper chest.
If anybody has any questions please feel free to ask and I will answer as best as possible
