Yesterdays Dinner! I have to get in on this food porn seen around this website..

a lil light on the greens, but looks like it'll fit right in

The lady took all the Broccoli! She doesn't care for tomatoes to much so I ended up with a ton of them. Funny how things work out like that with food.

[Nooshefx]

We did our 3 mile run Saturday night 6.22.2013 like we planned. It was good times out there with all those people and a few vendors gave away some free treats. Even the weather was decent last night and we didn't bake out there running around. A friend came along and she really pushed my wife to run harder than she normally would have. I was happy to see her do well, it proves she is in better shape than what she gives herself credit for. She also had her Soccer game today and I missed her score a goal. She always does better when I'm not there!!!

I missed my Sunday planned weigh in this morning. We typically just wake up on our own around 7am give or take 15 minutes. For some reason we both slept in and I jumped out of bed late to get ready for work. We'll have to postpone that till next Sunday because I just have some kind of thing about doing it only Sundays!

I'll end this post with a lunch pic. Still eating good and clean.

Not a huge fan of running for body shaping purposes but if you do then yah 3 miles is about right and should not be that catabolic. Remember if you want very low body fat too much cardio can be your worst enemy. I cut all cardio except for my walking to and from work when I cut and control everything through diet. Extra cardio is something I use off season to prevent things from getting out of control when my eating is not as clean. You may already know all this, I just wanted add my .02 cents.

It's probably cuz I see tons of runners on the path to work and back and almost none of them have what I would call good physiques. I know that most don't know any better and some just like to run and that's cool too. Not everybody is trying to look different. I often wonder though is they knew would they still be running. Like I said 3 miles done quickly is probably fine.

Holly Jeezus That food looks amazing!!!! I know those are Mashed potatoes and green beans but how did you cook that chicken?

PX Black taken again this morning and my wife did 1 with the T-2. For some reason the PX Black seemed to get megoing more than past days this morning. About 45 mins after I put them down I was ready to move around and get things done. I knocked out a few house chores and decided to head down to Golds without my wife who was off to work. We are suppose to do some training tonight so I'll make today a double dose for myself. Since we don't get all crazy with chest when we train together that was the plan headed into the gym this morning.

Before Supps:
1 serving Unleashed
1g Taurine
5g BCAA/Intra

After Supps:
2 scoops ISO-ology (Trutein was killing my stomach even with a lactose pill)
10g Glutamine
5g BCAA
Multi Vitamin

Training:
10x6 Cable Upper Chest Raise
10x6 Decline BB Chest Press
10x5 20x1 Hammer Strength Iso Lateral Incline Press
6reps each SS pullups/pushups 3 sets
20x2 Incline Dumbell Press

Good workout this morning and increased my weights for all those exercises. I'll eat well throughout this day and get at it one more time this evening.

[Montego1]

I noticed a cumilitave effect the longer I used PX Black as well. More so with appetite suppression and mood than energy though.

[fame126]

keep up the good work guys! you are both killin it. if you don't already, compliment the wifey. it just helps with self esteem and makes them wanna keep going. my wife loves hearing compliments and thats what she told me.

We run twice a week. Typically a 2 mile and a 3. Last year I trained for a half marathon for months and now running will always be a small portion of what I do. That training dropped my resting heart rate from the mid 50's to 47 bpm. Sometimes it gets as low as 43. My trainer gets a kick out of my walking around his room and still sits around 56-57. I credit that to the running. I'll keep it under control and keep lifting. Thanks for the advice!!

Will do sir! She already thinks I'm cheesy so we'll see how mushy I can be.

[snagencyV2.0]

my wife told me the same thing..i didn't believe her, so I never did
hmm. wonder if that's why I am now divorced

love the detail in here nooshefx, keep your eye on the prize and make it fun (never "work")!

Yah nothing wrong with shorter runs. Sprints are good too.

You always see beefed out sprinters not so much with distance runners.
Nice Volume on the exercises

Last night did not go as planned. I got stuck at work much later than expected and my wife fell asleep waiting on me. She gave it some effort to wait up but my tired girl was passed out on top of the covers when I got home! We both have this day off together and that does not happen often so we trained at a private spot today. We both did our PX Black and T2 today and a small breakfast shortly after. It was off to get a beat down around 1130am and that is exactly how it went down.

Before Supps:
1 serving Unleashed / each of us

After Supps:
2 scoops ISO-ology for me and 1 scoop of Trutein for her
10g Glutamine
5g BCAA
Multi Vitamin

Training:
Hard to explain because I cannot remember it all. We trained with our personal trainer today and I always forget what we did or don't even know the names of all his moves.

12 reps Side Step Lunches each leg with SS of 12 reps weighted single leg squats. We did 3 sets of these with no breaks except when someone was going to fall over. We got to the floor quickly afterwards and knocked out 50 crunches. Back to our feet and completed 12 reps each leg of some kind of elevated leg on the bench then hopping into the air off the bench (quad work) and quickly to the floor for 12 hip thrusters. 3 sets of those. Last round of super sets were 12 reps again of single leg dead lifts per leg and over to 24 jumping lunges and yes it was 3 sets. After legs we went down for core work of 30 crunches, 30 reverse crunches, 30 toe touches and 30 double crunches.

Last nights dinner

My wife and trainer working hard
He is crawling to his feet! LOL!

Lunch after Legs today


We are training twice today so I'll be updating again later.

[McCrew530]

dam bro thats some crazy super sets... even for a leg work out... This would be me half way through that

LoL! It was nasty but there always pride when you complete those types of sessions.

[Nooshefx]

06.25.2013 Part II

So I have some good news, well for me anyway. My lady is getting more into this and she decided tonight to set up her own account/profile on AnabolicMinds. Now I don't feel so cheesy in my own home and we have something else to share or enjoy together. We completed our two sessions today with arms being the target early this evening in the garage gym. We went at this one GVT style again.

Before Supps:
1 serving of BCAA - we had a late coffee today while we were out running around and that was enough caffeine for one day

After Supps:
Just Dinner!

10x10 Dumbbell Bicep Curls
10x10 Body Weight Dips (Triceps) for the wife and I did pull downs instead using a band
10x10 Dumbbell Shoulder Raises

Rest time was 60 seconds between each round of SS's. I've been sitting still now for a little over an hour and I'm starting to feel that stiffness that comes along after a good day of training. I'll stretch before bed and probably get a scoop of whey in with Glutamine also. I'm sure she and I will be feeling the pain tomorrow and we plan to rest. Our next day of training is scheduled for Thursday after we both get off work.



Dinner was bomb and I pulled that fat from the meat before I put it down. Tonight's dinner was not traditional and more fatty than normal. I had to cash in on a voucher I had before it expired and picked up a couple pounds of smoked meats from a local retailer. Delicious!!!!

[snagencyV2.0]

man that looks like corned beef hash (hope not!)
I kinda grew up on that stuff tho - very tasty, horrible for all things health and bodycomp related tho

Its not corned beef cash. Personally don't care for it to much. Its just brisket and some kind of chopped pork.

gotchya
yeah I haven't had it in yrs - maybe a decade ago or so I had some one time..
I don't eat pork either, for that matter

[iparatroop]

Corned beef hash with eggs scrambled into it. Welcome to my childhood. Well, that and Oh's cereal.

So is the wife going to be logging as well?

Wife is here...I just read all the posts. My hubby has been quite busy!

After yesterday, I have to say...I AM TIRED! And, my glutes are sore! I think today we need to relax and recover.

So far, since we started this log, I feel encouraged. The PX Black & Alpha -T2 wake me up and help w/ curbing hunger & cravings - LOVE IT! However, I haven't seen much change in my weight, which is disappointing. I can tell I have more muscle tone, though. We just don't have an accurate way to measure body fat. That's what's important to me.

I've been counting calories & watching everything I eat. We make sure to have balanced meals and no sweets. The desserts are hard for me. It seems every day my co-workers have doughnuts, ice cream, starbucks....today it was brownies....ugh! And I don't cave.

[Montego1]

Will power is key! Chromium Picolonate helps with sweets cravings for me also. I'll take it with my last meal of the day so I don't get the midnight snacking blues If you want to keep track of bf I would suggest picking up some body calipers. They are very inexpensive and if you have the same person measure you in the same spots every time it will give you a great idea of how you are progressing. I wouldn't worry about the numbers much though. How you feel and how you look to yourself are the most important things. Glad to have you on AM! If you have any questions just ask we are here to help.

[snagencyV2.0]

welcome, wife!

willpower with food - this is as much of a learned trait, as anything else in life: the more you practice it, the easier and more automatic it becomes
or - you can look at it as unlearning your food habits, built up thru the years..

whatever it takes
you have a great support system in place it appears; supplements look to be on time and efficacious

feel free to utilize us at FINAFLEX with any questions you may have, and i look forward to your successful journey in self-improvement

[McCrew530]

Welcome to AM! You and your husband are doing something really cool! More couples should be as motivated as you two! Dont pay too much attention to the scale for the first couple of months, base your success on how you look in the mirror and your energy levels! Good luck!

This^^^ and how your clothes are fitting. I'm a totally different 185 than I was 4 months ago. Weight's just a number, for the most part.

We rolled out to the gym tonight shortly after we both arrived home from work. We rested up a bit to get rid of that work stress that follows you home.

Before Supps:
1 serving Hemavol (Me)
5g BCAA - Intra
Food! (Wife)

After Supps:
5g BCAA

Training:
2x10 Warmup Reverse Machine Fly
5x10 Working Reverse Machine Fly
5x10 Wide Grip Lat Pull Down
5x10 Seated Cable Rows
8x10 Pushups 2 sec tempo (me)
8x10 Regular Pushups (her)

The lady did great tonight. Her Lat Pull downs where in perfect form and she did heavy weight in my opinion. I believe she was doing 70lbs if I'm not mistaken. The reverse fly exercise is a good starting point for me and I prefer to finish them first because they are the most difficult. That wife of mine also did all 80 of those pushups!!! No dinner pictures tonight but we both had a chicken pita after the workout and I'll probably have a scoop of whey before bed. Tonight was a good night and hopefully we have enough energy to get some work done tomorrow night also.

[Montego1]

70lbs is beast mode! And 80 pushups too?! Awesome stuff. Keep rockin it you two.

[Nooshefx]

06.29.2013

No training yesterday but we took our PX Black and she had T2 also. We ate good and rested up for today. This morning again we had our supplements and I went down to Golds by myself while my wife headed off to work. We are training later this evening when she gets home so I'll be getting a double dose today.

Before Supps:
1 serving of Unleashed
.5 serving of Hemavol
1g Taurine
10g BCAA / Intra

I could only put down half of my PWO drink today for some reason I just wasn't in the mood for it.

After Supps:
1.5 serving of Iso-plogy
10g Glutamine

Training:
Today went kind of weird. Was feeling off and did a long warmup of various exercises. Body weight squats, curls, dips, pushups and some other various core work. Then it turned into an actual circuit workout. 45 mins later after I finally woke up and got motivated to begin what I had actually planned to do. Legs! There was a man and his wife on the Leg Press I like to use so I used another machine I don't care for to much but it gets the job done. Homey next to me and his wife were going after personal records and he was grunt'n and huff'n and puff'n and didn't give a DAYUM who starred at him. A few rounds into it he tapped me on my shoulder to catch a glimpse of the guy standing on the bench doing upright rows in sunglasses and loafers. Yes he had on dress shoes and sunglasses in the gym standing on the damn bench press bench doing rows!!!

10x6 Leg Press
20x1 Leg Press
10x1 Leg Press (Could not get 20 on this round, legs were done!)

[Nooshefx]

Today's lunch was 96% lean ground beef and Dreamfields spaghetti pasta. The pasta is suppose to have a lower impact on GI levels and was recommended to me from a co-worker as a healthier option. Taste pretty good.



How we role down here in AZ!

[McCrew530]

Man you are all about two a days! Well Done!
I just wanted to put this out there because I was at one time an avid consumer of the ultra lean ground beef but after this little thread I went back to the cheep stuff. I know its not super scientific but it was interesting none the less.
Cooked ground beef macros
PS that is stupid hot!!!!!

Don't forget the run this morning! It was only about a mile. It was so hard to get out of bed that early when you don't have to! But our dog enjoyed it.
