well it's just the discrepancy between the two articles that got me....and robertson authored both.

I am glad you guys liked my workout.

:p

I haven't been able to read this book yet. I've been reading the Fat Loss remix .

How did you come to those numbers ?

i loved your workout anuj :)

I got my BMR (the book explains it) and got my minimum number of calorie intake (the book explains this too) and I have been making small changes to my lifestyle and getting here :)

Thank you :D

I like your new diet so far. I wish I could eat 3200 calories a day :( LOL

I am actually eating a LOT less than before. The way I calculated it, before I read Leigh's book I was eating 4000-4500 calories. Thats like 500-1000 cals above maintenance...no wonder I was getting huge!

That's where I'm at now, 4500-5000, except I'm maintaining a fairly constant weight (180-184). Sometimes eating sucks. :biglaugh:

Lucky you. You've got a MUCH better metabolism than me then :)

4500-5000 and maintaining... holy metabolism batman!

IW

Sometimes its really more of a curse than a blessing. The plus side is that I will never have to do any sort of cutting, if my metabolism stays the same.

And I only do light cardio once a week for about 30 minutes. :D

i hear you on the metabolism...i would like to kick it's ass sometimes. we "could" be rich kane :)

Word, Dawg.

Elastic Band Punches:
10 reps x 3 sets

Press Singles:
175 lbs x 1 rep x 5 sets
I felt so out of groove on this lift. Granted that this was a weight very close to my max (my goal was to work in the 90%+ of my 1RM range), I should've expected it to be a bit sluggish. I got vids of the last 4 sets.

I saw Taken on Saturday night....Awesome movie. Next weekend has some good movies coming out. Gonna watch two for sure.

I liked Taken also. I watched it about a month ago. :p

Do you have macronutrient goals with your diet?

Liam Neeson is the man!

Umm..regarding my diet: no goals. Just being accountable. More fats, more protein less carbs. Thats all.

Very cool. Everything is looking good with your training/diet. Keep up the good work.

those look like the perfect pullup handles :)


press looked really solid man...nice and controlled.

Nice pressing, Anuj.

When can we expect the 175lbs OH Squat? :D

Thanks Ross. Slow and steady. Though there is no race to win :p

I hate those pull-up handles. They've hurt my shoulder.

Thanks, Pity :)

Hahaha....not anytime soon...It will take me a while to reach that. A 175 lbs OH Squat would be killer though.

i am eating a pizza for you guys....right.......................now.

Thats a shite load of protein my friend. No wonder you're as strong as an ox. lol

IW

Great....Thanks for aggravating my hunger..

Well, in all honesty my goal today was to get less than 100 grams of Carbs total. BUT, my shakes alone have 7 grams of carbs per shake. That accounted for 28 grams. I had to go meet my Business professor at his restaurant today for a class and I hadn't eaten in 4 hours so I downed a quarter of a milk shake = 11 grams of carbs. I need honey mustard dressing for my boiled chicken breasts and that amounted to 28 grams of carbs. 9 grams came from a hunger fest with tater tots. I wanted to have an apple juice for potassium so I got 55 grams in right there. The rest in peanut butter.

Kinda gay.

Tomorrow being a workout day I am going to have 150-200 grams of carbs but the day after I am gonna have the same food basically except no milk shake and no apple juice so my carbs should be around 114-115 grams of carbs only. That will be a fun day :(

Beginning Thoughts:
