Looks like you have a well laid out plan, now you just need to stick to it. The nutrition part is always the hardest for me.
Thanks! Agree, for me as well. As much as I hate cardio, I'll do it cause I like s good sweat. But give me my beer and cookies!Looks like you have a well laid out plan, now you just need to stick to it. The nutrition part is always the hardest for me.
Yeah, Liquid IV is the brand. You can find them on Amazon. I decided to give it a whirl since Rocket seems to like them and I can get overnight shipping, LOL. I usually use Canteen.This liquid iv i see you and @Rocket3015 using, is it just the packets you dump in your water ? What brand? I'm always trying to find hydration help. Is this the one with 11g of sugar?

Like I said, think it'll take some getting used to, but with a 2 day chest rotation I think it'll become part of the normal routine.Floor presses are a great bench builder. Fun to do for a max single as well as no spotter is needed
Doubles as a heavy negative rep without a spot when the urge is there.
Do you use an app to track your Micro's ?Ended up with ~1900 cal/day avg for the week. But as suspected need to bring up protein and drop some carbs.
Arms:
EZ bar curls, inner grip +40x10,10,10
EZ bar skull crushers +40x10,10,10
DB incline curls 15x10,10,10
Close grip BP 95x12,12,12
Chin ups x Dips, 2 sets to failure
32:40, 100 cals
Pre: 1 cup coffee, 1 cap ThermoXT, 1 cap Eria Jarensis. The addition of EJ helped a little with motivation this AM.
Intra: 1 scoop Breach, 1/2 scoop Cluster Bomb, 3g micro creatine, 1 packet liquid IV
Post: Proats w/almond butter
Weight: 162.4# (-1.2#)
BF: 14.9% (-0.1%) - again, just for trends.
1 week down and pretty spot on with where I need to be, didn't have to starve myself, and even got to enjoy myself a little.
Yeah, I use myfitnesspal. Although, I've been contemplating purchasing either RP or Layne Norton's app as an upgrade. But I'd have to pay monthly, so there's that...Do you use an app to track your Micro's ?
I use the free version of "Lose It" and I'm happy with that.Yeah, I use myfitnesspal. Although, I've been contemplating purchasing either RP or Layne Norton's app as an upgrade. But I'd have to pay monthly, so there's that...

You’ve got to look up cals when eating out if you are determined to stick to the daily calorie plan. You could have had roast beef or grilled chicken sandwiches at the other places, or possibly a salad. They all have ways to get some protein in and adjust calories to your needs, to an extent. Not that there’s anything wrong with a good hearty burrito, but it’s up to you to make it work - we have the technology to search that info in 30 seconds in our pockets before we order at the counter.I'll have to look into it.
Not gonna lie, disappointed about today's eating. Was out in the middle of nowhere today and the only food options were fast food. Basically Chik-fil-a, Arby's, Sonic, or Qdoba. Went with Qdoba, but didn't look up the cals before I ate. Ended up with a 970 cal burrito - and I even went with the chicken option! So, ended up 304 cals over today. High day for sure.
Anyways, tomorrow is leg day. Thinking of adding in 2 caps of Demon Drops pre-WO. Why not?
Yeah, and this week will be a little tougher since I'm meeting up with a few friends for lunch throughout the week. I have my planned cheat meal for Friday since I'm going to a place that does killer milkshakes! But will need to be smart with my choices the rest of the week.Eating on the run is tough and it always seems like a good excuse to eat something bad that is really good !!
You and me both!I wish cardio was more fun !!
162.2# as of this morning@Segansational What is your body weight ?
That's some pretty good pullups than !!!162.2# as of this morning
Guess that was confusing. Shredded-AF was yesterday pre-cardio.Shredded-AF. Radiate and Forskolin XT this AM
That should have had you sweating !!
Just might be my go to place for my cheat meals! They have about 4 or 5 different burger and shake variations, with new ones popping up around certain themes. There's a boardwalk one right now that has funnel cake, cotton candy, all of that type of stuff.That is truly worthy of being called a cheat meal! Love butterscotch flavoring. That whole shake has a lot of great things going on.
Me too. My goal is just over 1700 per day, but I'm a little hit or miss right now. Still making good progress though. Must be doing something right since I'm down to 161.0# as of this evening. So down another -1.4# this past week!I want that burger, but than again I only had 1700 calories today............I want everything I see !!
Back on the bike this AM for a quick cardio sesh: 25:02, 211 cals. Lower back was still bothering my from yesterday, plus I was crunched for time (slept past my alarm). Have some workers coming to the house today, but should have my new home gym mirrors up for #workoutwednesday!Just keep it moving in the right direction !!

Thanks Rocket!Nice Space !!
Yep, already planned out my meals last night based on where I had reliable grab-and-go spots at the train station. Trying to eliminate guess work where possible!Good luck with the new job endeavors! That’s always a transition. Just focus on sticking to your calorie goals and you will still progress.
That's the way to do it !!Thanks Rocket!Yep, already planned out my meals last night based on where I had reliable grab-and-go spots at the train station. Trying to eliminate guess work where possible!
Happy camping brother !!!!! Were you heading? Watch the weatherFirst wake up before 5 AM in a long while, but leaving for an RV weekend today so needed to get it in!
Legs.
BB squats:
95x12
135x10
185x8,8,8 - Not gonna lie, these felt tough this AM... Also felt like I tweaked something in my left delt. Just turned my head wrong or something while lifting.
SLDLs 135x10,10,10 - these actually felt easier than normal since the plates are larger, so the distance to the ground for the stretch isn't as large. I might stand on plates or something next time to give more ROM.
Calf raises 3x15
DB walking lunges, 3 sets of 20#
49:33, 167 cals
Pre: 1 cap Radiate, 1 scoop Total War Jurassic Blood
Intra: 1 scoop Breach, 1/2 scoop Cluster Bomb, 3g micro creatine, 1 packet electrolytes. Bought another brand that has 0 sugar.
Weight: 159.2# (-1.8#)
BF: 14.5% (-0.2%)
Was in PA Dutch country. A little wet, a bit of mud, but the kids had a great time and that's what counts! Definitely had more than my share this weekend, prob about ~3k days both on Sat/Sun with camp food and a wedding. I'll post up some food porn in a bit. Not even gonna weigh in this morning since I know it'll be bad, but I'll get it back on track. Back at it this morning for a short cardio session. Still wet weather here.Happy camping brother !!!!!
