Yeah, he did his first 12 mile run last week. Laughed my azz off when he told me he had never been so tempted to drink ditch water in his life as it had rained the day before and southern Ohio is very hilly so there was a lot of run off :veryhappy:

On top of that, he will be running his event in SoCal in late June, so I was reminding him to prepare for the heat! Not trying to discourage him, just want him to look at all angles.

not so sure about that milas fella, lol.:kidding::newangel:
 
I was gonna say the same thing. It must be the Wyked talking!!!
 
Just some cardio and ab work tonight ( I usually do abs at least twice a week, just don't bother to note it.) Anyways, 10X30/30 HIIT cycles at 80/100 % resist, peak SPM 232, 211 cals burned.

Today's Dietary: 2522 in (112 carb [minus 25 fiber], 227 protein, 133 fats) with an estimated burn of 3802 for a deficit of 1280.

Am beginning to feel like I have been stalling the last few weeks with being unable to get below 277, but the waist keeps getting smaller ( a wee bit more at least) each week. Recent strength gains in benching combined would suggest maybe I'm making some lean gains and still burning fat. We will see what tomorrow brings for the weigh in etc.
 
Today's tale of the tape: Weight-277.4 (down 2lbs) waist- 44&7/8, down 3/8 in. Overall totals since we started our journey: Down 44.6 pounds, 6&1/8in off of the midsection.

Dietary info for today: 2630 cals (110 [minus 27 fiber]= 83 carbs, 231 protein, 138 fat grams) with an estimated burn of 4395 for a deficit of 1765.

Wanted to keep it tight today despite leg day as I am taking the wife (and kids) out for her Birthday tomorrow, gonna use this as my first "cheat meal" in almost 2 weeks. Please note, it will be a MEAL and not all day. Hopefully, I can get a bit of cardio in ahead of time.
 
Ok all, have to admit I blew the hell out of the diet this weekend. Was actually pretty good at the buffet for my wifes Birthday, stuck to chicken (although breaded) and salad except a baked potato then I snagged a wht bread dinner roll, and a couple of small pieces of pie.

Then Sunday came and it was easter and family and well............. on top of that no Sunday Iron because of the Holiday. So we will see what the damage is Tuesday and go from there. Am kind of hoping that even with some gain, it will reset my metabolism as I seemed to be at a plateu the last week or two. This week is gonna be tight for the Iron also, son has a school program Tuesday, so will have to either alter the schedule or squeeze one in early Tuesday before work.
 
Beats my half pound of chocolate (or more), $5 Taco Bell Big Box, and numerous other cheat foods this weekend!!! I put back on 12lbs from Saturday night to Sunday night!!!

Okay, so I was a bit dehydrated and all from contest prep, but still put a lot of crap in my body that I didn't need to!

I finished fifth in the open competition, there was no novice for me to compete at. I went in and did my best, just turns out I don't have the frame for competitive BB IMO. I was in the largest class (middleweight, 155-176lbs), with 7 guys.

Although a lot of people were saying I looked really good, I just didn't feel like I was at the same level as the other dudes there. At least I placed and got a medal, the guys I beat were all sour grapes in the changing room after!

There's a video of my 60 second free posing in my log, check it out.
 
taman, looks like you are still plugging away. dont let dropping the ball get you down man.

I'm on a diet now too. you just gotta get back to it, put it behind you.

edit: easter was a blown day for a lot of us. today hasnt been fun.

I have to ask, it's been nagging me for a while, but how do you calculate such a high caloric burn? I was at 200lbs, lifting for an hour and doing cardio for 2 hours and I was over 1K calories less than you. I can understand you'll be a little higher given your mass, but it just seems a little high burning 4600 calories daily.

I just can't figure it out, not trying to call you out or anything, so I hope you don't take it that way. It could also explain some of the plateau effect...

Click to expand...

In essence Milas, I utilize the activity calculator provided by the CalorieCount website ( for example, intense weight training supposedly burns about 754 cal/hr at my weight(if I recall), then add in the drive to and from work (90-100 minutes) and the cardio work numbers I take from the what the machine tells me based on my weight, time and effort. I do not include things like walking at work or my desk job, so I figure even if I am a bit over on the other stuff, that helps make up for it,

Not really at a plateau, at least not IMO, despite the weight gain last week, my waist has continued to get smaller and that was after 2 very poor dietary days.

I may be overestimating, not sure, you could be right. 4696 is one of my more intense days lately, have been running about 4200-4400 estimates. Even if I am off by 750, that still leaves a lot of deficit most days.
 
Yeah, not trying to be a Debbie Downer at all, you're doing great! I just wasn't understanding where the (IMO) insanely high caloric expenditure was coming from.

It does seem like the estimate is a bit high, but that's just my interpretation for a lil' guy like myself (only numbers I look at)! When I used to row crew, I would break 4k spent, but was rowing like crazy for several hours! I have no idea what increased energy expenditures are for larger folk, but I thought it had to do with bf% and all since muscle burns more than fat. Again, not trying to call you out, just trying to better understand.

Do you use a heart rate monitor for either cardio or lifting?

Keep doing great work!

Nope, like I said, just the counters/calculators on Caloriecount.com and whatever the cardio machine tells me for that session. I know I am large, but pretty sure I am carrying between 200-220lbs of lean mass, so perhaps not as much fat as you thing. Almost every BMR calculating tool that I have checked out starts me at around 3400 to 3600. There has to be something with that kind of consistency.

Maybe you have been underestimating, maybe I have been over. Either way, it is all good :)

Dietary info for the day: 2666 cals( 106{minus 18 fibers}= 88 carbs, 233 protein, 149 fats) with an estimated burn of 4467 for a deficit of 1801.

Not sure, but think I am going to do some more fasted cardio before work tomorrow.
 
This morniong I did 15x 30/30 HIIT cycles with the difference being I stayed at 100% max resistance through out, decreasing intensity only by lowering my pace and making recovery from each High Intensity round a bit more difficult. Max SPM exceeded machines capacity to track on most cycles. Then I dropped it down to 70% and coasted at 120+ SPM to an even 30 minutes. Fasted cardio on 10g BCAA, 2.5 cups of coffee and 2 scoops wyked.

Gonna try to keep it pretty tight today, at work atm.
 
Ok, diet info for today: 2464 cals (92 [minus 19 fiber] =73 carbs, 220 protein, 138 fats) with an estimated burn of 3816 for a deficit of 1352.
