As for the diet, just monitor weight loss, yes the scale lol, week by week, and also monitor how you look in the mirror. In bodybuilding, the judges have no clue you weigh 160 and the guy next to you weighs 165. All they know is you look way better than he does :) Weight means nothing in bodybuilding, David Henry is a perfect example of that. When you stop seeing results and fat loss, start playing with the macros, take out a little carbs from each meal. Start low like 5-10g, wait another week and see what happens, and keep repeating that process until 2 weeks out. Then "peaking" is whole other animal lol.

Good to hear you're feeling better man!

Well, my mom had a heart attack last week. She's doing better now but was in the hospital for a few days and has had appointments she needs to go to and. They don't wan her driving and walking around in the 105+ it's been for the past 2 weeks. So trying to keep up with my training & diet has been stressed to the max. Diet hasn't waiverd but my training has, I've missed a few cardio sessions, along side a few workouts.

im glad shes doing better man...that can be tough.... I hope& pray her recovery is 100%...
yeah I have noticed that since I started throwing in the cardio 30 min to an hour after wormouts... ends up making my workouts so much longer lol.... im not used to it...
 
Distilled Water said:
Thanks, they're much appreciated. The hours add up, I'm at about the 3hr mark per day now. Keep working hard man, you're doing great!

I tell you fellas.. ive been cranking the carbs down to 80. I think my body has got used to it... maybe the fat burner is keeping me stable.... but my fat im not counting... using ranch lite for my salads and olive oil for my eggs and fish, which has been the main meals, when cooking.
im feeling pretty good... besides the stimulants that are killing my stumach... which I cant back off right now...
im going to sneak away from work and workout at the gym, and lay in the tanning bed.... im excited! workout in a regular gym... been a while....
my flex posing suit came in.... that suckers revealing! major banana hamock.... I tried it on and took me a.minute to get used to....

Are you on eca? I've never had stomach problems with it, but I remember trying hot roxs and it messing with my stomach... Dmaa makes me feel weird too, and kills my hunger, but I'm super sensitive to any appetite suppresion. Even var made it hard to eat.

Haha ya they're pretty revealing, its basically a speedo right?

Anyways my body builder buddy had gotten sick and hospitalized, gone from 245 to 170 in about 4 weeks. It was crazy, I was bigger than him. Well I hadn't seen him in like 3 months and he's back up to 220 and talking about competing again soon. All this talk about competing is kinda sparking my interest too.

my foot is all swollen... not sure why... kinda hurts.... eh its barable though... its the top of.my right foot and kinda to the left of it in the middle... tried googling it... cant find anything cept sprain maybe...
 
Were you jump roping or jogging a lot? There's two things that can happen that aren't sprains - hyper extentension of the tendons in your foot and cracks in the long little bones(medicarprils?). Either way you're going to want to take it easy on your foot so switch to a low impact cardio like a bike...
 
sounds good.mani havebeen wrapping it alot... and have been running alot... prob is a sprain.... thanx man
I have a bike at work. ill use that...
 
ok fellas.... I screwed up.... I think from work and working out... I'strained my back now... my lower back is killing me!!! im not quiting though... this might set me back dangit.... what do I do... I need to go get some fishoil and go for 10 g daily.... might help.... advice please.... what do I do to get through this and make it to my competition....
 
yeah... I tried to do leg extensions and leg curls at least... but even that hurt it... im even having a hard time getting inand out of my truck... jeeesh.... this isnt good... ill see how tomorrow is... maybe all my back needs is rest...
I was doing high reps 135 rack deads.... lol not heavy at all....
 
ok fellas... I have been icing and heating my back.... it seems to be getting better every day.... I think I overtrained.... and with the depletion of calories didnt help either.... well now I know.... and I hope this will heal up end of this week... im trying to keep the calories low and taking my epi and fishoil... trying to stay anabolic so I wont loose muscle....
when I finish this week it will be six weeks out........ dang.... lol thats close for my back to be acting up...
ill prob try some swimming at night when I get home from work... yeah im still working mainly because I am training somone, and I just make him do all of the heavy lifting...
ill get to go home from work for three days tomorrow... im just going to take it easy on my back... eat my protein and fat....
 
going to get a deep tissue massage tomorrow. hopefully that will help on the aching.... ill keep yall posted... but no training for right now....
 
Ya I haven't been training either being sick and on antibiotics... First day back in the gym in close to two weeks.

Looking good Bro
Click to expand...

thank yah sir.... really trying :)

but on a side note... my back is feeling a ton better from when I was working... I have just been icing my back every hour...
after the deep tissue massage, she told me most of the tension was in my glutes which was pulling my hip down and causeing my back to hurt... makes sense... not sure if its true or not, but she probably is... so I have been stretching my glutes more and laying on a tennis ball trying to get more knots out...
thinking about workingout today.... all of my workouts are going to be laying down or sitting down keep that resistance off of my back.... or glutes lol....
legs will be hard right now... guess its a ton on leg extensions and leg curls leg spreads and such machines.....
seven weeks out fellas.... this is about the worst time for this to be happening lol.... jeesh.... oh well cranking my diet to overdrive cardio on a bike right now if I can....
 
ok went and worked out today...wasnt bad... feeling around right now, and figuring out what I can do... so far, im doing high reps on machines and cables.... not much free weight... but did chest today and did an hour of stationary bike... I love biking now, cause I can read a book.. lol time flys when im reading lol....

hammer bench 6x20,20,20,10,8,3

Be careful with the high reps. For myself, I need to keep same intensity, volume, weight for a cut or I lose LBM

what you think 20 highest? last set ill low rep it heavy weight...
 
Distilled Water said:
I did opposite, went heavy. Mostly 8-10, some 15 , untill my last exercise sets, then I'd hit a 20 or 25.

Do you usually gain well on heavy weight moderate reps?
