These libido checks everyone keeps doing need to have a wifey warning. :toofunny:Seems like every time I check a thread with one in, it's when the little lady is standing over my shoulder. Oh well, by the time I get back form my shift in 12+ hours, she'll be gone for work and have a whole day to clam down,lol.

Day 30 (12/6)

Narrative
Had class today and lifted afterwards. This morning upon waking up I got on the scale and was 198lbs. I am hoping I am just holding a bunch of water due to my recent lovefest with carbs. I don't want to drop calories so I am just gonna focus on hitting my protein intake and calorie intake and hopefully some weight will drop. If not oh well Im not too stressed. I got to 185 once so I know I will be able to get there again. Just dont want to go into a calorie deficit on cycle, feel like it would be counter productiveAny input would be appreacitaed on if this makes sense or not, as far as dropping calories vs maintaing calories..

Workout
ATG Squat
Push press
Pull ups

Superset

Any input would be appreacitaed on if this makes sense or not, as far as dropping calories vs maintaing calories.

Honestly, calories are not an exact science. I would say play around with calories on a day to day basis. If you want to start cutting a bit, then try lowering the calories by 100ish and see how that treats you. I always am constantly changing what I aim for in calories (not that I count off cycle), because I will raise/lower my calorie intake by about a hundred until I am happy with the progress and it becomes consistent.
 
I am by no means well versed when it comes to hormonals nor am I well versed in how diet plays into the cycle but i can give you my opinion on a practicality stand point.

The scale is a bit high but how is your physique looking? Does it look like youve put on a lot of fat? Does it look like its mostly water and glycogen? First see what you dealing with.

Second off, i personally wouldnt start cutting mid cycle and lower your protein and caloric intake. This will surely effect your gains. Rather i would reccomend tightening up your diet and doing more of a recomp/lean bulk and try and give you body what it needs to grow while letting the hormonals work its magic in the fat loss department if possible(i dont exactly know what compound your using and what are it's effects on lipolysis).

If anything you can do a cutting cycle after PCT to get back down to 185 but I would focus more on overall athletic performance and strength gains. If you weigh 198 but are stonger, faster, and have more endurance then your good to go. You can go on a cut after PCT and try and keep your gains and cut bodyfat. If your performance is not to par then it's time to re-evaluate several factors to get you back on track.


Hope that helps bro.
 
Judo, I will keep this simple. You should be gaining weight you are on a very strong DS. Even in a deficit you would gain weight unless obese and REALLY working a cut. Don't worry about the scale so much. Don't worry about any of it. You messed up your diet and had some water and glycogen retention no big deal. YOu probably gained an extra .5 lbs of LBM just from over eating so don't sweat it. Don't change from your original plan. That means the overeating stops and you go right back to what you were doing before Thanksgiving. I don't think you will see 185again this cycle unless you get ill man so don't even sweat the scale. Just lift and do cardio. If you feel that your activity level is lower than forecasted than either do the activities you planned or cut 200-300 calories worth of fats out of your diet a day.

Sometimes to correct what you have done all you have to do is not do it any more. Not make drastic changes.

Well I stopped tracking my calories around the holiday but I am going to start logging them again so I can see how much I am eating and make adjustments from there. Gonna start updating with my food log included

I am gonna do a BF% test again and prolly update with some before and after pictures. I am gonna go with the recomp.lean bulk diet I think too, switching to a cut now because I slipped up this past week just seems counter productive to me and like a waste. Thanks

I try and not sweat the scale too much. I think I was just shocked when I got on it the other day. I really didn't expect such a jump, but then again I havent weighed myself since I started so I don't know how much I weighed prior to my carb fest. Thanks for the reassurance. That is what I was hoping the solution would be, to just stop and go back to normal. I really didn't want to cut calories.
 
So I found this mix yestarday and it is AWESOME!!! Anyone who is a fan of all the old school classic action movies (rocky, kickboxer, karate kid, etc) MUST listen to it. Here is a link where you can stream and listen to it AND you can download it as well. I had it playing during my workout today and LOVED it. Check it out guys

I would tend to agree with the others. As it was only for a short time, and your now back on track, it won't hinder you at all. In all actuality, it might have helped. The extra calories will help counter any stressful rise in cortisol, and give you that extra oomph in the gym, all the while helping you to recover. The extra ccalories may have even reset your body for a bit, nothing wrong with that. From my understanding, it's impossible to not gain some fat when trying to gain, but it can be somewhat controlled. I would definitely wait til' sufficiently after pct to cut, as doing it during pct would cut into your gains I feel. A big mistake people make is they forget to eat like when they were on, thus leading to the loss of those gains. It always takes a bit for a dietary change to affect you, so no worries.

Yeah I would finish the run then re-evalutate your maintenance cals at the new weight BW x 14-16 and keep them there for at least 2 months to let the body stabilize at the new higher weight before entering a cut.

Thanks guys :thumbsup: I really appreaciate the advice. I have 2 stacks lined up after my PCT that I am gonna run and then maybe a OPE/ERASE/ALPHA cut stack :sgrin: I am about to switch my workout back to 531 though. I feel I made more progress with 531 than I am making with this workout

BTW anyone check out the super pimp music mix link above? :usa:
 
Yeah, that link rocked. Got me all amped up change out my wife's flat for the spare before going into work in like 15 mins. to cover for a call-off. She was like "Aren't you bummed that I woke up to change my spare before work with only 3 hours sleep?" To which I was like "HELLS NO!! I get to listen to that jammin music I just downloaded!!" Changing a tire in 20 mph+ winds with a humid temperature of 20 or so degrees in the dark and unloading the jeep to get to the spare never felt so good!! I can't wait to do it again!! (Listen to the music, that is). Now if only a supp company could bottel that into a pill!!

AWESOME. I love the Kumite' reference from Blood Sport that was my fav movie for a while. A Martial Arts version of Rocky you can't miss.
 
I did :bigeyes: Think I am going to have to go for a run while shadow boxing to that mix, feel like a bad ass.

Thats the same feeling I get when I listen to it. I feel like I should be boxing or running

LMAO!!! :lol: Wow there is a true fan there. Not sure I get THAT much energy from the song but hey if you do thats awesome. I did however get an urge to flip my table over and run to my gym when I heard it for the first time.

Day 32 (12/8)

Narrative
School day today. I felt like I havent deadlifted in a while so I did today :D. I didn't warm up really and regretted it afterwards. I pulled my groin slightly. I am starting to take 6 caps of havoc now. 3 pre and 3 post. My next workout I am going back to 531 and then I will be done with the pulse. So 3 more weeks till I start PCT. My weight has been holding for now no extra gains although diet still isnt where I want it to be at. I don't know why I am giving in to every little temptation right now. Its like I have no will power :( Its really pissing me off honestly but I have no one to blame other than myself. Next week is my last week of school too so I will have a bunch of free time and hopefully will fill that time with some cardio.

Workout
ATG Squat
Bench press
Deadlift

Day 33 & 34 (12/9 & 10)

Narrative
Worked both days nothing much to report. My groin hurt a little bit and the 24 hours of walking, pushing, and moving at work didnt help much. I just kept lightly stretching/ I also tried this little trick I picked up from someone. You take a 2 liter botle of soda and fill it with water and then freeze it so its solid. Once it frozen you use it like a foam roller. It feels GREAT!!! The cold from the ice is heavenly and it stays firm because its frozen solid. I massaged my hamstrings, quads, calf, and inner thigh with it and think it is helping alot.
 
HAHA!! That's a classic!! I have a buddy I call Leroy based off that movie!!
Anyways, I wouldn't get too upset about your lack of willpower, it's more than likely helping you to hold onto your gains/make gains. Like it's been said, use the mirror and strength as your guide. Being on will let you cheat a bit, or so I've been told, so enjoy it. I know it's hard for me to stay strict, especially when I'm gaining or on a plateau. Good updates as always!!

No I need to be harder on myself. If not I get into the habit of making excuses for what I do and it turns into a snowball effect and then before you know it I am a total loser and not doing anyting productive. Its who i am and I have struggled with it ever since I got into this scene. I NEED to hold myself accountable for what I do and NEED to really beat myself up in order to get back on track. Thanks for the words of encouragement though buddy I appreaciate your support along with everyone elses.

I AM WEAK!! and yes sometimes I am a tool.. no scratch that sometimes I am a complete dikhead.

EVERYONE needs a kick in the @ss sometimes. It doesnt make you weak. EVERYONE need to be checked from time to time. It doesnt make you weak or a tool. Weakness is a state of mind that in which you submit to the troubles that plague you. Strength comes from the work you put into overcoming these trials. Whether they are emotional, mental or physical...strength is attained....no one is born with it.

Now judo go make that barbell bend. Not because your weak or because you're a tool...just because it's what we do. We break our @sses inthe gym, put ourselves through indescribable sacrifices b/c it's who we are.

Now train till you cant stand....then get up and hit another set.
 
We are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of Nature has placed in our power.. the battle, sir, is not to the strong alone it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.”

Wow what do you know Smith22 at it again, same tool that made a thread bashing APS Nutrition because when he got his package from us he didn't even get a product, all he got was a Shaker cup and samples:|.....Well I believe in the logging promo I said you post before thursday you get Tshirt, shaker cup and samples, post after you get a shaker cup and samples...........................SO yes he got a free shaker cup and samples LOL??? I never said he was getting a product. This guy is a troll, you look at his posts and more then half of them are threads he started to stir **** up. That troll really needs to be banned.

Sorry I have been MIA past couple of days. Its finals week at school and been a little busy. After class today I will definetely be posting up a short brief update though
 
quick update before football. I am not going to try an attempt to remember all I did, ate, or felt all week and just list my workouts for the week. Like I said above it has been busy with school finals, working extra days, and getting ready for christmas and the new baby.

Thanks for the words of inspiration guys! During one of my lifting sessions I had that 80s action movie mix on and there is a quote from one of the Rocky movies on there that I feel in love with

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!"

I feel that sums up my attitude I have right now. I realize I was making excuses for myself before but the time for excuses are over. Time to put in work!

great log....can't wait to give Havoc a run after the holiday season.

Thanks for the compliment on the log. Glad your enjoying it. When do you plan your Havoc run? Are you going to pulse or go stright through?

Wow what do you know Smith22 at it again, same tool that made a thread bashing APS Nutrition because when he got his package from us he didn't even get a product, all he got was a Shaker cup and samples:|.....Well I believe in the logging promo I said you post before thursday you get Tshirt, shaker cup and samples, post after you get a shaker cup and samples...........................SO yes he got a free shaker cup and samples LOL???

ohhhhh now that you say that it makes sense. I was wondering who this kid was and if I said something to him before. I did comment in that thread.. something along the lines of "OMG you are crying over a free shaker cup? Send me your adress I got tons, I will send you 5 of them" LOL...

Some people would complain about paying taxes on their lottery winnings, you just wish stupidity hurt sometimes. I agree with JJ, that clown would just motivate me even more.

Wait what? They tax lottery wininngs? You mean they get a cut of all the hard guessing I put into that? :smashfreakB:

School is more important than the log, we will be here when you get back.

Well school is done so no more excuses for me. I have alot of things I want to start doing and I have been using "i got school and spend my free time studying" excuse for all those things for too long already. So now that school is done for the time being its time for me to step it up

Some log notes...

On Saturday me and the wifey had tickets to go see Kevin Hart (a comedian) so it has been a long time since I bought clothes and we never go out so I went to the mall and got me a pair of jeans. Well my weight is still up, it was 205 saturday morning, and I typically wear a size 38 jeans. I had a pair of 36 jeans that I bought when I got down to 185 but havent wore them except for maybe once and the fit was pretty comftable. So The first jeans I try on are a 38, I was feeling fat since the scale read 205 this morning and thought that is the size I would have needed.. well they are freaking huge on me! So I grabbed a 36 and they felt a little loose and I was feeling brave so I grabbed me a 34 and they freaking fit!! I dont think I have EVER been a 34 before. So what I took out of this is that even tough my weight is way up from when I first started this log my waist hasn't really gotten bigger and if anything has gotten a little smaller. My waist and thighs is where I typically gain weight first so I was pretty shocked with this. Anyway enough of that.

Sunday night I lifted before bed. Kept it real simple.

Monday update

Went to judo today. It was just me and the instructor there today. He is trying to step his cardio game up some and get ready for nationals so we did some loaded conditioning work today. Totally killed my shoulders, core and lats. I have been really slacking on my cardio and today was a big smack in the face. I could barely catch my breath at all and was on the verge of puking several times. I was talking with my instructor and we are going to try and make it a habit to get together and do these at least once a week. It is really cool getting to actually lift with someone. I forgot how fun it is. I currently lift by myself in my basement and its fine but when I got a partner, especially a good one like my instructor, I have someone there pushing me. Someone who catches me slacking or cheating movements and calls me on it. Holds me more accountable and makes it so I feel like I have something to prove and I try that much harder. I wish I had a partner to lift with all the time but its cool. I like being able to lift whenever I want.

Today I start a "paleo" version of the anabolic diet. Well somewhat paleo version. I work christmas so I should be able to stay on track with no carbs for the next 2 weeks and then eat a ton of fruit and potatoes with some quiona for my carb load. I really think my body does so much better when I start to cut back on my carb intake. I am still shooting for 300g protein and the rest will be fat intake. Gonna be fun... BRING ON THE BACON!!!!!
