breezy's training, supplementation, and food log

6/25/13

I brought my carbs up to 400g today, which is a "high" day at my current caloric intake. My daily calories should be up to 4000 by the end of the week, and I plan on keeping them there for a few days to see how I respond before adding more (it's probably still below maintenance). My weight is surprisingly only up about 1lb since the reintroduction of carbs. I figured that I would've gained more from water/glycogen.



This morning's workout was pretty brutal. I think my current pre and intra food/supplementation helped me get through it in decent shape.


Leg Curl
80x20
80x20
120x10
120x10
120x10
120x10, 80x14, 80x50 partials



BB Back Squat
135x20
225x15

explosive
275x6
315x6
335x6
365x6

335x10
315x10
225x15

- I decided to give my legs a solid pump, hit them with explosive reps, and then finish them off with some rep work. This has been a reoccurring theme throughout my workouts over the last couple months; however, it's usually done with several consecutive exercises.




Leg Extensions
140x12
150x12
160x12
180x12

-Done explosively, kicking up hard and stopping right before my shins were perpendicular to the floor (on the way down).



Quad Stretch
30 seconds per leg



Leg Press
270x8
360x8
450x8
540x8
630x5, x10 partials
720x5, x10 partials
810x4, x8 partials

-This was done as one ascending set with a short rest, while quickly adding weight. I needed a little break before moving on to the next exercise.



Quad Stretch
30 seconds per leg



Stiff-Legged BB Deadlift
195x10
245x10
265x10
265x10

-Constant tension, working the stretch/bottom half of the movement. I only came up ¾ of the way before lowering to the ground.

-25lb plates used for increased depth/stretch
 
I have no idea how you can do so many exercises on leg day.. nice job

Sounds delicious man. Flavored Greek yogurt makes for some amazing ice cream (taste and consistency).

I just made a big chocolate protein cookie and cheesecake in the microwave (Solution's recipes). The cookie was really good and the cheesecake is sitting in the fridge until tomorrow. I did taste a few crumbs though and it was awesome. Protein PB cups are next on the list

I was going to make both of those on the weekend.. Wanted to tonight, but had my son's high school graduation. Between you and solution there are some fine recipes to be had.

Congrats to your son. You could probably sneak in a cookie before the weekend if you want. It literally took 2 mins to make. I wasn't sure how it'd turn out after spreading the sludge on a plate, but it all came together (and doubled in size) after cooking for 40 seconds. I made mine a little bigger than the recipe shows as well.

Thank you sir. They don't really look like they should either. I'll try to record a set when I still have the ability to do them.

No problem wasme. I'm glad everything worked out for him.

Haha nice. I had the cheesecake with gluten free waffles for my post workout meal. The taste and texture were fantastic, it was very filling, and the whole cake was under 500 calories (490 cals, 9g fat, 24g carb, 67 pro).

Thanks brother. The chest press was more about getting a pump today, than moving weight. Here's an example of kayak rows. They're great for pre-exhausting the lats at the beginning of a workout, or as a finisher.

Great work breezy. Those Kayak rows look like something I would love to try out. Next back workout I will have to give them a try if I remember.

Thanks man. Once you get them movement down, they're great . If you kick your hip out a little on side that you're rowing to, it'll help get solid contraction.
 
wasme said:
Yes I suppose you are right.

I have 2 bottles of AP sitting here that I think I will start using.

Do you dose 2 before each meal? 2 at bedtime?

I've been going with 1 cap before 2 separate meals and don't use it pre-bed. When training fasted, I'd use it ~30 minutes pre-workout.
 
I had some OxyELITE Protein™ Chocolate PB Cups with today's post workout meal. :thumbsup:

I made these yesterday and kept them in a freezer bag overnight, so they were extra frozen. They thawed out pretty quick though. I've got 3 more that I'm saving for after dinner. :)

You will definitely enjoy Tom, Breezy has had a huge impact on my training/nutrition.

I think the recipe is in the 'Cooking with Whey' thread (your brother linked you to it)

Yeah, they're delicious and pretty easy to make. No cooking required either.

-make some "sludge" with yogurt and protein

-put a layer of sludge on cupcake liners (in a cupcake tray) and freeze for 30 mins

-put a layer of pb on top of sludge and freeze for 30 mins

-put another layer of sludge on top of pb and freeze again

The Solution posted the recipe in the "Cooking with Whey" thread, which gives the amount of each ingredient needed for 6 pb cups. I used ~11 TBSP of yogurt, 1.5 scoops OxyELITE Protein, and 2 TBSP of pb (1 tsp per cup).
 
Hey bro, I think I read back in one of your earlier pages that you cut at 4,000 calories. Is that true, or were you joking?

Not trying to high jack your thread, just trying to absorb as much knowledge as I can. ;)

Yup, it's true. I require a lot of calories to maintain my weight. The scale slowly started moving at ~4000 calories (with a good amount of physical activity) and I eventually brought them down to ~3500 after a couple months. I just worked my way back up to 4000 calories and haven't gained much weight yet. I'm up 1-2lbs, which was expected since adding carbs back into my diet (most likely from water/glycogen). I've had some GI issues in the past and my body doesn't handle food like most people.

Thanks bro! I've been at 34/3500 a day on training days and still cutting while making some gains. At SMS point in the next few months I'll need to stop cutting, an I wanted an idea of where my cals should be. BroScience always told me to NEVER bulk over 3500. But BroScience also had me killing McDonalds.

Thanks again! I only have 80-something more of your pages to go through...

I wouldn't base your caloric intake on what I'm doing (unless you want to get fat :)). Required calories for cutting/ maintaining/bulking are highly individual. I'll be a lot closer to 5000 calories eventually, which is a lot for most people when trying to stay somewhat lean. I'd just slowly increase calories, while keeping an eye on the mirror and scale (to make sure that you aren't gaining weight too fast). That's what I'm currently doing.

No problem man. Take your time.
 
Word.
 
I was going to make those pb cups then I realized I have no chocolate protein. :o

Tom as LiveToLift has said in the past (maybe in this thread) if we ate like how Breezy can we'd balloon right up. Oh how I wish I could kill 4,000 and lose body fat lol... Just have to find what exactly works for you.

Yeah, I'll stay where I'm at for now and maybe increase a little at a time once my BF is a little lower. I just got excited at the thought of being allowed to cut on that much food. :)
