Shredded by summer cont'd. Iparatroop goes from fat to fit.

[iparatroop]

Way late but in

Nah man, you'd be late if all of this fat was off of me. Nice to have you though big man. Don't laugh at my numbers...

Tonight's dinner

<img src="http://anabolicminds.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=78129"/>

10oz 99% ground turkey
2 cups broccoli
1/2 cup brown rice
2 slices Dave's bread
(Tapatio & a smear of lowfat mayo)
750ish calories
93g pro
83g carbs
10g fat

And I ate all of it.

Pounded it!!!

 

[mustang0341]

mmmmmmmm, that food looks good!

 

[CountryLiftin]

I'm here for the food porn... :woohoo:

 

[iparatroop]

So yesterday morning in the gym sucked balls. Worst day I've had since coming back to working out. I shoved a bunch of food in my face yesterday, and upon counting my calories and macros again, I realized that I haven't been feeding myself enough. That will be fixed.
Yesterday's macros
295p/195c/41f 2207 cals. Still on the low end for fats and overall cals so I'll work on it.

I took a page out of Bean's book this morning.

15min treadmill w/u

Wide Grip lat pulldowns
130x10x3
130x10ds100x8 twice

DB b/o rows
60x10x5 each side

DB pullovers
45x14
55x10x4

Lat stretchers (first time trying these and I like them a lot)
85x10x5

Straight arm pulldowns (I think that's what they're called)
60x10x5

Deadlifts
135x15
185x12
205x10
225x8x2

Ab work to finish. Felt much better today. Also switched out micro for OG Jack3d. Have to admit that I like the OG formula much better.

Supps
1 scoop OG Jack3d
1 versa-1
2 scoops MBCAAs

 

[CountryLiftin]

Nice man, how are those deads feeling? those will get you big and lean at the same time. Keep up the hard work.

So, back before I let myself slide, squats were my fav and I could do 505 parallel 1RM.
Nowadays, I have fallen in love with the deadlift. I don't know my 1RM, and don't care to know at this point, but I like them a whole god damn lot.

Yesterday's macros
295p/195c/41f 2207 cals.

either you typed in the wrong #s, or math is simply not your strong suit

Or my app sucks at math?
What should it look like?

 

[snagencyV2.0]

Or my app sucks at math?
What should it look like?

you should be able to eyeball and see it's off
roughly 500g c+p = 2000
roughly 40g f = 360
so roughly, 2360

actual figure per your macros is 2329

maybe find a new app?

 

[iparatroop]

2329?

^^^Ha, typed this as you replied. Did the math.
4 cals per g pro
4 per carb
9 per fat. Got it.

 

[snagencyV2.0]

it usually helps when your rolling with true and correct #s

 

[iparatroop]

True dat. 2329 is still on the low end tho but I feel a ton better. Maybe I'll shoot for 2400 with roughly the same macros since I FEEL good this morning. I'm not sure that I can force down 2800 a day without cheating.

Unless its subtracting fiber intake (some apps do this)

 

[iparatroop]

Unless its subtracting fiber intake (some apps do this)

That's probably the explanation.
30.6g fiberX4=122.4
2329-122=2207
Good call.

 

[snagencyV2.0]

yep good catch JB
i don't count veggies myself..or bcaas for that matter
everything else is fair game

 

[iparatroop]

I don't count Cadbury eggs or jalapeño poppers.

Damn those cadbury eggs!!!

i don't blame you :chairshot:
amazing - how some commonly believe fat-loss is all about cals, and think they can eat anything they want as long as they stay @like 1500cals or some ridiculously absurd low # daily

:blink:

Seriously. I've gone rounds with a few LG folks on here in the past saying as long as it fits in your macros is doesn't matter if its I've cream or brown rice. I thought it was a joke.

Looking good in here troop! Nice deads btw. I'm in the same boat, in college I was squatting 505 for a few reps (parallel). Now my squats suck!! Hip flexors suck on and on. Can you tell it's been a rough day? My attitude sux lol I'm done sorry bro

I get the concept of LG but I'm not willing to experiment with it after seeing what my body can turn into after eating shltty for a couple of years. I'm not willing to buy into the "as long as it fits your macros" idea either, and I don't think my cholesterol level would either.

Thanks bean. I'm giving it an effort. We'll see how it pans out. Progress is slow, and I can accept that. Dude, it's kinda frustrating (to a certain degree) to not be able to push/pull/lift what I was once able to. I just know that I have to work that much harder to get back to that point and I'm willing to put in the work. Sometimes things have to get worse before they can get better. Don't be sorry, I'm sure you're tired and hungry. 37 more days and you can pig out and be happy.

 

[iparatroop]

This morning upon rising. Things are looking up. Leg day, fml.

good
i've seen very few guys accomplish anything on that silly protocol..martin berkhan set the landscape back decades with that sillyness

I'm not willing to buy into the "as long as it fits your macros" idea either, and I don't think my cholesterol level would either.

this is the most retarded mentality to dieting i have seen
and bbing.com propagates this nonsense to an absurd degree..
it is stomach turning uke:

That's what happens when you have kids and sharpees in the house at the same time. Shlt is hard to get off.

Thanks fine sir, but sheeeit, I'm far from being on stage for anything. Imma find a local show about a year, maybe a year and a half from now and aim for it. That's my next goal after this current one.
