hey Omen - how about an update?
Meh....gotta call me out on that?..:trout:
^ UPDATE: Yes he is smoking reefer
It's my anti-drug....
Yeah I could help more if I knew the goals. I see Crossfit mentioned. I don't know too much about it but it sounds like it'll get you cut and catabolic without adding much size.
Cut yes, Catabolic no, my protein intake is high, refeeds are there, EC stack is there, I mean even a few lbs of LBM lost to reach my goal is fine with me, one step at a time.
what are your goals with this routine? what are you expecting to get out of this? or are you just trying this out for fun etc.
Cut down to 185lbs 7-9 bf%. Once I do that I have very specific goals, but that's a whole different story.
Just crossfit and follow the Zone diet
Too generalized of an approach and crossfit itself is not enough, it's a great supplement but at least for my goals, I won't be doing crossfit as the main thing.
I started this diet cycle on Dec 14th 08, along with the power/weight lifting program.
Food: 580-784grams of chicken tits+celery+fish oil+50 g of whey (for the whole day) everyday. I hate cooking and planning all the different foods and mixing sh*t so I just eat the same thing everyday to avoid all that crap.
Calories are around 1000 +/- 100
I have a 5 hour refeed (Mon) and one cheat meal(Fri).
Drugs: EC stack 25/200 3 times a day.
Weight: Not 215, bought the scale from Walmart, 230lbs was the reading....after initial water loss which means I was at 240 or a fat ass.(this is really crap). Now I'm at 220lbs.
I haven't touched any weights in almost 1 year...in less than 4 months on this diet, I want to go back to 300+ bench, 400+ dead & squat.
Now:
Bench: 235 (65lbs to goal)
Deads: 275 (125lbs to goal)
Squat: 250 (150lbs to goal)
I didn't go with the log as planned because it's already been a few weeks and I never did a log before, I'll just update this once or twice a week after the M/F workouts.
One coming up in 30 mins so we'll see if I have any increases in the Military press or Rows. The Snatch and C&J I'm not really worried about the weights as much as explosiveness and correct execution but progress is always preferred.
Reconsidering this, I want to get down to under 200lbs by April 4th, under 200lbs means 195 at least because when going back to maintenance, you'll gain some water weight back.
So If I cut down to 195 on the RFL and then move on to UD 2.0. by April 18th (allowing for a 2 week full diet break) and finish by June-July 18th.
By then, my weight will remain at 185lbs 7-9% bf, all my weight goals have been met and exceeded.
I'm giving this more than enough time just to make sure I have some leeway if something f**ks up(Hi Murphy :FUfinger: ), if it happens faster than expected, even better.
This is a lot of work for something that could've easily been avoided in the first place, I could always say it was because of my career choice that got shot but I'm the one that stopped training as much and watching what I eat, circumstances can suck, but it's 100% my fault that I let it affect me.
So I'm putting 100% in this and making sure I don't just get back to where I was, but improve upon that and keep making progress.
