Another good workout. Even completed an hour of cardio total today. Sheesh my calves were cramping up towards the end of my training and cardio. LOL. I also backed down the scoops of Alpha Rage to 2 scoops. I have been having some major issues with sleeping at night and I train at night so taking a pre workout may be hindering my sleep. We shall see. Took 2 scoops of Alpha Rage, 2 scoops of BCAA's Extended, 1 scoop of NO2XL. All lemon flavor of course.

60 min cardio? Damn Dude, AWESOME!
 
A lot of my cardio sessions are longer ones but if I go 30 minutes or less I will do high intensity intervals...If I have an hour I will opt for 45 moderate and finish with 15 of the interval...

I don't monitor by speed but by heart rate, I go pretty damn hard but won't let my heart rate above 140, I have a very low heart rate. It's rare that it will go up over that even when I go as hard as I can. 1 use 1 minute on one minute slow to medium depending on the heart rate. I use a precor cross trainer with high tension.
 
Nice man...
Same with me... I'll be sprinting but my hr only gets up to 180bpm and that's 32km/h sprint

Mine gets higher but Ive noticed lately its getting harder and harder to get it over 160 when it used to be that just light walking would do that. Now i have to move it a lot more to get my hr in the 160s when running/elliptical. Hiit like p90x I can hit the 180s still though.

I started up my 500-Xt at Invalid Link Removed WARNING it's CHEESE CENTRAL on how cheesy/campy it is. Trying to have some fun with it.
 
Yesterday's info. Funny enough I thought I over ate but I still dropped some weight this morning.

Workout died, didn't have a chance, as I was heading out the door wife had to go back into work. I rode the exercise bike a bit at home to make up some of the calories I ate today. Worried as I went over the 1910 I usually shot to be around.

Not sure what was going on but I couldn't get full today. I did eat really clean though as in no carbs.

After working out I felt very sick. That is what the 3 Musketeers Marshmellow mini's was for. Felt much better shortly after that. Decided to hold off taking it again for supper.

Total Calorie burn from everything: 1410 cals.

Legs are on fire anytime I move and left elbow is giving me a bit of grief. I almost stopped after the Deadlifts but I kept pushing through it. I couldn't do deads or squats today very well. JUst couldn't get my legs to cooperate.

Weight: up .4 pounds from yesterday. Most likely an influx from the carbs.

Doesn't bother me. I use daily weigh ins to measure things besides just weight. It doesn't bother me I'm up at all. I weigh in first thing after bathroom in the morning and then at night after shower before bed. I like to see how various foods digest differently at night.
 
Thought I'd share this!

Low Carb Recipe Alert.

Today I was craving Brownies... not the dry cake kind that you see the recipe for online.. GROSS PEOPLE.. 2 Cups of Flour and 1 cup of Sugar is CALLED CAKE... not brownies..... BLAH!!

So I took off on a side adventure. Some of you who know me, know that I'm a foodie. If I hadn't gone into computers I would of became a chef and I still aspire to have my own bakery some day. Regardless I scoured whole foods for some ingredients to make a decent low carb brownie. Took a couple tries but I succeeded! 2 CARB Brownies.. That is right.. 2 CARB brownies that taste like brownies.

First Recipe is a simple one. It does have some Soy in it, this scares some people. I don't mind little amounts of soy.

Here is a picture of some obscure or items you probably don't have on hand that you will need.

Now for Brownie Recipe I.. I like to call this the DOESN'T GO STRAIGHT TO YOUR BELLY FAT Brownies..

Recipe:
Preheat oven to 350, cook 25-30 minutes in a 8X8 or 9X9 pan. 9 servings per container

1 cup Stevia
1 cup Splenda
3 eggs
1/2 cup softened margarine
1/2c. unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 c. flaxseed meal
1/2 c. Almond Flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup Soy Choc. Milk

MACROS: 5 Carbs per brownie, 3 Fiber per brownie.. net of 2 carbs a brownie (not small brownies either.) 6 protein per brownie, 99 cals per brownie.

Some pictures of the process and finished product:

Now onto Brownie II.. This is the ultimate low carb brownie, but at the cost of a few more calories.

1 Cup Stevia
1 Cup Splenda
3 eggs
1/2 cup Margarine
2/3 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
3/4 c. Almond Flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 serv. 1 squeeze packet Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter
1/2 c. chopped walnuts

Preheat over to 350. Bake for 25-30 minutes.

162 cals, 6 carbs, 4 fiber, 14 fat, 6 protein for these brownies. These look better dough wise.

Pictures of the progress and final product!!

My son LOVED THESE..

Comments from the family members:

My Son:

My son tried the brownies and told his mom.. I want a really really really big plate.

My Wife:

So I came back in to grab out the second set of brownies out of the oven and I look at the brownie pan and 4 brownies is missing out of the 9. I ate one and my wife said she ate one. I go in there and she's got a couple dollops of my vanilla protein ice cream and 2 brownies on a plate. Her reasoning, is she puts up with me, and that all together this equals one of her normal brownies.

ENJOY!!!
 
LOL, sounds good to me Jr!

Yesterday I was lazy as heck, 1988 cals 190 protein. Today has too has been quiet, but did get to mow and get in a relatively short ride with my 9 year old before the storms rolled in, about 16 minutes but much of that was against a strong wind with the storm coming in. I tell him to get dad a good cardio workout so he goes all that much harder, little does he know my main goal is to get him out and active! :)

Damned impressive on the split squats brother. I am just now trying to acquire the balance and form to do those which is particularly difficult with some neuropathy in my left foot.

Back Squat (Getting closer to para) 5x5 @265

Power Clean (Meant to hit 5x5@155 but it became apparent very quickly that I had overestimated my max on these)
3 reps at 155, dropped weight to 140 5/5/5/5

Split Squat Set 1 8 reps with no weight, sets 2 and 3 did the bavarian variety (top of rear foot on bench) with a single 20 dangled in the middle, and my free hand adding some stablizing help 6/6, 6/6

For the first time my arms and shoulder were pumping after the entire workout. Was like I was in a wet t-short contest after I was complete. And that is not a purty site when you talking about me in the white t-shirt. lol

Yes sir. i was considering more but that has never been my goal. When I started to get back into shape. One of my goals was to get back to 250 lbs for 20 reps. It has been a struggle sort of since I don't bench all the time.
 
I am going to search for some of the Turkey Pepporoni, there is a couple posibilities...

4/18/12

Well today was an interesting day. Work sucked as usual. Way too much going on . So when I got to the gym it was look around and see how crowded it was. So instead of working out with weights we did Rip 60. Which is Golds Gym version of P90X but with straps. Man I forgot how tough that was. So I will probably incorporate this into our regimen just for variety. I was sweating like something fierce.
 
4/18/2012

Rest day here, had a meeting for a thing at the school my wife works at. I love getting volunteered for stuff >:-( Diet was spot on.

Well today was an interesting day. Work sucked as usual. Way too much going on . So when I got to the gym it was look around and see how crowded it was. So instead of working out with weights we did Rip 60. Which is Golds Gym version of P90X but with straps. Man I forgot how tough that was. So I will probably incorporate this into our regimen just for variety. I was sweating like something fierce.

I have often thought about incorporating something in my off days maybe a 20 minute intensive routine something along the lines of P90X but I wiould get my mentor to design it.

Awesome. It wasn't meant for this to happen on a training day but that is exactly what I just started doing. :)
 
Looking good all of you! Just a heads up, I'm having one of the best weeks of my life! My dad is stable, grandpa is buried, but not forgotten. I started coaching baseball again and I've lost 4.6 pounds in the last 6 days. I'm not where I want to be but things are looking up and the sky is the limit. I feel truly blessed to have all of u in my corner. Thank you

Cheater... Lol... Don't worry about it. We all do it. Well maybe not all cause I hate cake. But there is not one person who hasn't cheated on there diet.

That is true.. extra cardio does make up for it, if you calculate it, but even a small piece of cake will cost an hour so you don't want to be doing it too often or it gets impossible to keep up.
 
Change of plans, have to pick up the little guy at 6:00 from Baseball practice, so instead of AM cardio, we did AM weights. Still gonna not break fast till around 12:00, running on about 30g bcaa, thinking that will prevent any catabolic concerns. Gonna hit the cardio for a bit after work.
