Tygas home log for powerlifting and stuff

[jswain34]

Man, after my deadlift day my glutes are extremely sore. Seems like the ArA is kickin in full throttle...

Never mentioned I wrapped up my sustain alpha and endosurge. Good run with natty test boosters.

Going forward (well in month or so) I'm looking at this as my next run.

SNS growth factor xt
Dermacrine
Endosurge

Staples stay, obviously.

How do you like dermacrine and what do you get out of it?

 

[tyga tyga]

For me it's subtle. More alpha male mentality, confidence, minor strength increase, "denser" feeling muscle but I did hold a good amount of water the last time I used dermacrine.

Hmm. Those first few are appealing to me. Holding water...probably not the best since I'm trying to drop 6-7 lbs for my meet, but maybe throw in a weak ai to mitigate that??

Yeah. I'd look at iron legions new topical AI to offset the water retention. Everybody doesn't get it, I however did lol

 

[jswain34]

Never even heard of that company, although I'm not too up-to-date on most supp stuff anymore. I'll check it out thanks man

 

[tyga tyga]

Let the carb up start

1c egg white w/ketchup
Pancakes w/syrup
2 caramel donuts (only ate one, but I'll eat the other, obviously)
Pineapple juice

300g cho
8g fat
40g pro

My little girl was trying to get my carbs lol

 

[RegisterJr]

You better teach her a lesson!

 

[tyga tyga]

Half a cheese pizza and a pint of ice cream rounded my carb load out.

Just over 600g cho, 130g protein and 200g fat.

The half pizza and pint of ice cream put my fats on overtime lol

 

[jswain34]

600g cho, now thats how it's done

 

[tyga tyga]

5/2/15 reps x sets

Squat 5x5
225x5x5
Total lbs-5625

Bench 4x5
205x4x5
Total lbs-4100

Bb row 12x4
85x12x4
Total lbs- 4080

That's all she wrote. My session wasn't the greatest as far as strength is concerned but, the pump was nice!

 

[tyga tyga]

Snagged these from Walmart for six dollars plus tax. Going to see if I'm even remotely close to ketosis by Friday lol

Also, ignore the pink rug. My daughter loves it

Never posted my pizza and ice cream

Forgot I ate a handful of those peanut butter cups

 

[RegisterJr]

Pizza homemade? Why no meat? Or jalapeños for that matter.

I'm a simpleton. Cheese pizza is my favorite pizza lol and it was store bought.

No meat though to keep the fat down. It was already climbing after just the cheese lol

 

[tyga tyga]

Two full days of 30g or less of carbs and I have "trace" amounts of ketones. I know this isn't too accurate but nice to see I'm moving in the right direction. Especially since I consumed over 600g of cho on Sunday. Which, has washed off already! Back to my baseline weight

Will re measure either Friday morning or Saturday morning.

Workout tonight will be
Dead 2x6
Ohp 8x4
SSB 10x3

-1 twisted glazed donut braid
-1 Bavarian filled
-8oz pineapple juice

The pump again, was ridiculous. The refeed before this session has been nice lol I managed to tweak my low back.. Again.. Saturday. So, I went and got an adjustment today and am relaxing now. Will stretch the glutes and low back later tonight and throw my TENS on for 10 minutes or so on a low low setting.

Btw, I Gua Sha my traps last Friday and may have overdone it a little... VERY tender, but they managed to petechiae really quick.

 

[RegisterJr]

Nice job on the refeed. I need more doughnuts in my life.

Hope your back tweak isn't serious.

 

[BigRed1974]

Awesome work! Keep Killing It!!

If srs, color me jelly.

 

[jimbuick]

If srs, color me jelly.

Just doing some estimated counting of my regular day is around 550 (on the low end). That's just counting the bread, pasta noodles, rice, potatoes.

I didn't count things like jelly (on toast), juices, chips, or sauces.

Not sure.


Weighed a whopping 183 at the meet in March, but I don't have a scale at home lol.

Worked out in the AM today instead of the afternoon (7am versus 5pm) because one of my employees is out of town. Trained fasted and everything moved well! Next week is my last week with this block, deload then onto the next training block. If I can stay healthy, I'm going to do a push/pull this July (although squat is my strongest lift right now)

Depending on how my cut goes, I may end up in the 132 class lol

 

[tyga tyga]

I'm debating on whether I should deload this coming week or not. Being in the calorie deficit, extreme lack of sleep from my baby girl NOT sleeping during the night and every other stressor from life, I'm feeling beat.

I'm having my refeed today though.

Post workout (started refeed @910am)
Breakfast-

Breakfast #2-

Also, I realized I'm a creature of habit lol I've been eating the same thing for my refeed for the last three weeks (except I've gotten different donuts)

Right now I have a pizza in the oven lol and a pint of Graeters buckeye ice cream in the freezer.

Will load more pictures of the food later

 

[RegisterJr]

Nothing wrong with repetitive refeeds. Why eat one thing if you're craving another?

Can't wait for the pizza.

 

[tyga tyga]

Pizza - ate the whole thing but one slice

Buckeye chocolate chip - ate half the pint

Decided I'm not going to chase that elusive 700g cho refeed lol could cause me to slide backwards in the long run!

 

[RegisterJr]

Anything special to the pizza besides crust?

I think I want to do pizza tomorrow too. It's much cheaper to order than to make it though. That last one cost me $30

 

[tyga tyga]

Nope, just a pizza from Aldi. It's a four cheese with globs of fresh mozzarella

Ooo man don't remind me the sleepless nights of having a new born. I've got 6 more months to enjoy my sleep then I'll be the same boat as u.

But damn that food tho. Killing it

 

[tyga tyga]

Well, I'm going to deload.

Had a craptasti workout this morning. Squats went well, bench was so I wrapped it up and left. I'll start deloading Wednesday until next Monday.

Squat 5x5
240x5x5=6,000

Bench 4x5
220x4 - only set and I left shortly after this.

Anyhow, next Monday will be better. Be easy fellas

Deloads

 

[tyga tyga]

Opinions on "deloads" I know there are a few different ways to go about it.

65% for x sets and x reps

Top @8 double

Instead of 7 sets of two, cut the volume in half use the same weight (squats - 290x2x3 or 290x2x4)

What do you guys prefer? Obviously, with the general RTS there is NO deloading.

Discuss please lol

I'm on the fence with the @8 double or cut the volume in half
