Well it's Friday again!!!!

I started my carb load yesturday(early) and finished today. Only went 24hrs. I picked up two night shifts today and tommorrow. So I have lots of food to eat. Tonight will be about 8 chicken breasts and 2- 6 oz peper steaks. Also some haverti cheese. I will add in about 30g BCAA through out the night and before I go to bed I will have a 4 egg omlet with cheese with 3 scoops of protein powder(with water). No greens today - I forgot to pick up my bad of spinach, will have to do that in the morning. I like to get atleast 3 cups in. I don't count these either.

Total 2660 cals 113 fat 19carb 374 protein

I am going to try and hit 2800 cals now instead of 3000. I didn't include the 8g of fish oil and 30g of BCAA ( not sure if I should or not). And doese anyone know what the BCAA's would equal in calories ?

jesus dude...how many ounces are those chicken breasts?

TALO · 05-02-2008, 05:38 PM

Aprox 4oz, 125g. From M&M meats. Frozen chicken breasts isn't usually my first choice, but these don't have much sodium and the don't shrink much either.

Tuesday May 6th

Diet is good so far , haven't weighted myself this week yet and I'm going to wait a bit before I do. I like the mirror anyways.

Hitting 2800 cals a day now ( yesturday I was only able to get in 2520 calories basically I didn't have my protein drink) still high protein / fat. Energy is still good and so are my workouts. Strength hasn't dropped or increased , but I'm not pushing heavy weights anymore anyways. Just trying to keep my 3x3 over 315 for bench. Squats at 395 for 3. I want to start going to 15-20 rep range , just haven't found a decent program yet).

Todays workout 315 3x3 , cgbp 225 2x5 Side lat raises, skull crushes, lat pull downs. Needed to get out of the gym as fast as I could so I could go and coach t-ball.

Did manage to get in 45mins cardio at work....Gotta love a job that pays to workout.

Good stuff Talo and yes it is nice having a job that pays you to workout.

Pitysister · 05-06-2008, 01:35 PM

that is the ideal job...nice find

TALO · 05-08-2008, 07:52 AM

Going to be changing things up just a bit. On training days I will be adding carbs to my post shake. Either malto/dextrin , waxy maize or apple juice(25oz). I just want to see if I can get some strength back while still cutting up. So hopefully this will do the trick

So as today is a training day my totals will be 3685cals = 1710(f), 424(c), 1524(p).

Non training days will remain as before with less than 30g of carbs total.

Box squats (low rep 3)
Leg Press (medium rep 10)
Leg Press calf raises (high rep 25)
Pulldowns ( low rep 5)
Hammer curls (medium rep 8-10)
Abs

i wonder if that is more beneficial than having almost no carbs all week and then just gorging yourself on carbs for one or two days...be interesting to see

I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"
