NTNM - Diet , my un-scientific approach to leanness

I went out and looked at it to see what it was. I don't remember what we called in in WuShu but it is a nice surprise power punch and I liked to used it.
 
Gym

Even though I had a rest day yesterday, today's training was "meh". It was a "all weights are too heavy" day.
I did what I always do in such a case, throwing the plan out the window and pump the sh1t out of the muscles, with low-moderate weights.
Now, afterwards, feeling like I accomplished something anyway.
Did 7 sets of incline press, some DB hex press, 6 sets reverse pec deck, 5 sets lateral raises, 5 sets bent over DB rear delt raises, single arm kettle bell raises, some calf -and leg stuff and a bit of overhead presses.
 
I'm stuck at 209lbs for weeks now. I feel that I can't make any progress that way anymore. The holidays will be a temptation I don't wanna miss out on, obviously not stuffing my face with sweets -but letting a bit loose for awhile.
Yesterday I looked terrible in a mirror and ate no carbs as a punishment, I'm not happy. Radiate has suddenly undesired sides for me, like low BP, cold limbs, anxiety and cold sweats, even at half a scoop. I need to "reset" somehow.

Does it have theobromine in it? That stuff does the exact same thing to me sometimes, I think it has an effect on both circulation and somehow blood sugar but in certain situations it just wrecks me.

Totally get the ‘no carbs as a punishment’ thing bro, done it myself so many times.

Nowadays I try to see whatever I eat as rewarding my body and providing it what it needs, not saying I never get the thought of needing to cut some Cals as soon as I have a day where I look less defined but generally I’m pretty positive about food.

Thing is what I’m eating doesn’t change, but psychologically the reason I’m eating it has. For me it means I don’t really crave what I’m not eating and therefore never binge on crap.

So where you have no carbs as a punishment I’d see it as eating fats and protein to optimise my muscle building and health etc.

If your not happy it might be worth trying?

Looked the ingredients up, yes, it has. It may have interacted with Cardarine. Cardarine got me hypo in the past. Thank you for the hint!

Exactly, I did the same psychological change, took a while to figure it out! Food is a reward. My yesterday workout sucked -AND my body looked sh1tty = hence no "reward".
Having just a phase of depression right now. I'm not prone to it, just happened. Here it rains every day for a week now, that may be a factor too, as I can't spend time at the farm to charge my "mental battery". The LGD could have to do with it too, its known to cause lethargy even with test as a base.

Hopefully just a bad couple of day, and yeah with that combo I can imagine so. I never took a diet pill while on Cardarine, or the SR9009. I had plenty energy and fat burning going on. Anything more would have probably had me having some issues similar to what you were referring too. For me coffee was more than enough with both of them as far as an energy boost or appetite suppressant.
 
When I am doing Radiate,for 2 Weeks 1 scoop with 10oz of water. For the remainder of taking Radiate,I use 5 scoops in a gallon of water and drink it before Workouts,During Workouts,and after Workouts.The gallon will last me 7 days.
 
Gained 2lbs over the weekend. Self punishment phase started.
Gym

Exhaustive machine work, chest, back, biceps, triceps. Some land mines and DB curls.
Tomorrow shoulders/legs.

Lowered LGD dose to 6mg/day. 12.5mg made me too lethargic. Its weird. A year ago I could take 15mg LGD without problems, now it hits me with sides. Test over 300mg also gave me sides in the past, lets see if this has changed. Upped test to 400mg/week to figure it out. My guess is, in the past my BF% was too high for the test dosage, giving me high BP and bloat from e2 conversion.
Already paid for my next vacation. 18 days left for a beach body, going full in!
 
Since it's Christmas does that mean you're lactating egg nog?

Emergency at the farm.
The guard dog attacked the son of my employee. Have to go put the dog down and pay hospital bills.
I'm off for at least a day or two.

This boy is a good dude, he loved the dog and constantly played with him. I already know how it happened, will write later about it, have to go.
 
The boy is "fine". No nerves, bones or tendons affected. He should be healed in a few weeks, if it gets not infected. His mental state worries me, he was still under shock, 6 hours after the attack. There is no one to blame but the dog. He had serious behavioral issues in the past I was working on. He was treated very well by my employees and loved by all -but his jealousy and constant extortionist behavior (if you ever inhibited him to do what he wants, he would destroy/kill things that belong to you in return, killing dozens of chickens, your cellphone, shoe -anything) never got better, no matter what we tried.4 people have visible scars from him, including my daughter. We always gave him a chance and worked on his problems.
Don't want to get into detail how I killed the dog, he did not suffer at all. My cortisol levels must have been ultra high the last 2 days, I feel like I got suddenly 5 years older and lost all my gains over night.
 
Had a rot that I raise as a pup that I had to put down. damn thing bit me one day over some left over gravy. My 2 youngest were 7 & 2 years old. could not have that dog around my kids.!
I never hesitated. The wife and kids were pissed at me for a long time. If it would of happened to one of my kids or one of the neighbor kids I wouldnt be able to handle that very well.

It was a good dog, Hell I let it sleep in bed with me, took it in the truck with me all the time. Just one day he just snapped.

The dog was a guard dog, obedience trained -but not "armed" (trained in attack), not a family pet. The only thing I could blame on ME is, I should never have given that family a dog breed that is suited as a guard dog. Especially one with Fila blood. People here are feeble minded, superstitious and uneducated on almost everything. The boy that was attacked was different. He was interested in how to train the dog and I invested hours in teaching him. I was a dog trainer in a "Protection dog Club", even won competitions with my dogs in the past. You always hear: "Its never the fault of the dog -its always the fault of the owner." I thought that to be true -until now.

Now its over. No more dogs on my farm, not even a useless "c unt-licker-breed".
 
Sounds like you gave it plenty of second chances (certainly more than I would have). Best thing you could have done, unfortunately. Sounds like eventually it would have done worse to someone else in your family.
 
Very sorry to hear this. You did what had to be done.

Certainly. He was about to kill the boy. I was told, the dog tried to get to the throat at all times, while the boy was on his back fighting for his life. Two people helped to get the dog off of him. With nobody near to help, he would be dead.

That is what I have now 2 small dogs that are old. one 14 and 15.
 
wow a fila/pit is a deadly combo indeed, hope the boy has good recovery and able to get along with dogs again. you did the right thing HGP.

I too had a rot with some issues. Never trusted her 100%. She had too much prey drive and was way more intelligent than any dog I had afterwards.
She lied a lot. Like: I had two dogs, a male Fila and this female rot, I was giving food to both dogs. The rot finishing her food first, then running outside to the gate barking. That alarmed the Fila, he is thinking someone is at the gate, running outside too. The rot returned over the kitchen back door to steal his food. She did very clever things to get what she wanted, sadly some kids banged against the gate and when the rot stuck the nose under the gate, they hit her. Since then, she distrusted kids. Knowing how smart she was, I never trusted her around kids anymore, she may had set up a trap to be alone with one, I swear she was that clever.
 
It's good that you are that in tune to what you're dogs are thinking. It's even better that you can admit when one is not trustworthy. I've seen too many people unable (or unwilling) to make that distinction.

The rot died of old age, but I never had her around children again, besides my own -but even then, I was always near when they were together.
For a dog owner its crucial to preview what the dog is going to do next, as the time for punishment is only 2 seconds.
You constantly have to provoke a "fail behavior" of the dog, to be able to correct it, to do that, you have to "think like a dog".
You are right, most dog owners know nothing about breed specific behavior either, before they get a dog -and afterwards they are unable to live with the animal, resulting in chained dogs, euthanized dogs, mauled people -or dogs in shelters. But as my latest story tells, not everything is preventable -and sometimes its the dogs fault, I don't care what the mainstream says.
Another thing is, in first world countries, like US, breeders are out-breeding negative character threads, especially from mastiff's, resulting in lovely and powerful dogs. Here its total negligence. You will never know what you get. When I was training dogs, 80% of Rottweilers and German Shepard's were impossible to train for protection, mostly because they were too afraid, anxious and without the breed specific strong character.
 
HGP - in your opinion which of these three is easily trainable for protection Rott/GSD/Doberman? am planning to get a GSD with east german bloodline
 
Thats why I got a 30lb chiuaua. He doesnt do much but sleep, eat, and bark at people walking on the street. Lol

The dog had bitten multiple people in the past including your daughter? I’m sorry for all this stress and misfortune in you life, but if my dog ever even put indents in my daughters skin from a bite, I would promptly spill his blood in the back yard. From what I can see, giving this animal second/third/fourth chances irresponsible of you and not acceptable. Can you clarify? Cause up until this point I have had a lot of respect for you as a board member.

East German GSD, hands down. The guys here in the "GSD club" pay up to 10k for a good East German GSD.

edit: See if you can lay your hands on "the old" form, with the straight back -not crouching on the hind legs. Know what I mean?
Protection dogs are not for show, they tend to be lighter in weight. The "old standard" is healthier IMHO.
How your dog looks has no influence when judging protection, avoid the "new standard" if possible.

You could consider to get a Malinois too, especially if your interest is french ring.

Look, it never was an attack on any kid. It were "level 2 bites" see link description, mostly when playing with him. It left scars without having punctured the skin. Never drew blood, but my daughter has a scar. The one time I already chose to put him down was when my employee tried to get the dog off of a chicken he was killing. In his adrenaline rush he snaps at her, she needed stitches and it left a scar. It was a "level 3a bite". No direct aggression either -but I let her choose to kill him -or keep him, because my employees have to live at the farm with him. They chose to keep him. Since then we worked on his behavior and seemingly with good advances. Until what happened now.

Yep, honestly, I get your point. Even with my background in training dogs, it would have been prudent to put him down earlier. I already blame myself.

K. Seems less cut and dry than what it seemed. A lot of of gray I see. Sorry for your misfortune. Will this event change how you view/trust the behaviors of your guard dogs? Not criticizing at this point, just curious/learning.

The dog never showed aggression to anyone, like growling. All bite incidents were "explainable" from a logical perspective.

After this event, there will be no dog anymore. I can't sleep knowing that a family, living on my farm has a powerful dog, after all, I'm responsible.
The day I'm single and living in the wilderness, I may have such a dog again. No visits, no children....just me and a monster of a dog.

With guard dogs you really have to know what you are doing, can't recommend such a dog to a family. The biggest problem is, which breed of dog is a good family dog -but also protects? The answer is: There is no such dog, period. UNLESS he is from a first world breeder who has a track record in breeding "aggression reduced" dogs, the US is leader in this. Their rots, pitbulls, bull mastiffs and american bulldogs are lovely. Buy any of those breeds in Brazil -or Argentina, you may get the unmodified version -and believe me, they are NOT family dogs at all!

It is the same reason why I have a pure bread yellow lab- that went through police training, but failed puppy schools because she was too timid- as with my 7 year old brother and 2 year old nephew, I could not risk having anything that is aggressive and not trained.

She is as close to a perfect dog as you can get! She does has 2 quirks that bug me. #1 being she is a bit to needy, as she tries to force to to pet her and will jam her nose into you to get loves. #2 is that if I have someone doing work on my house, she occasionally goes absolutely nuts on them. My guess is she can smell some sort of drug on/near them, so her police training kicks in and she goes nuts. Other than that I can not complain at all. My nephew even beats her up, tries to ride her, and is always pestering her and she take it all without even a bark.
