i just don't want salmonella all over my scale....so i measure it cooked :) most online diet places have cooked and uncooked nutrition facts. |
Me either , that's why I use soap and hot water after I'm done .:)
|
that's just more work than it needs to be :)
|
What is , washing the dishes or doing the math :biglaugh:
|
Well I've probably be overeating then because I've been eating 1 cup of ground beef in alot of my meals. Which means I'm probably closer to 3500 cals then... That would explain alot.

Weight: 188.8lb a little bit of water weight from carb day Decline Bench bar x 8 135lb x 5 185lb x 3 205lb x 2 225lb x 1 245lb x 1 255lb x 0 225lb x 1 235lb x 2 185lb x 6 Well I really nailed 245lb and I really should have had 255lb but the bar was a little high in combination with I tried a slightly wider grip which just made the bar feel higher. So I unracked the weight but I kind of had to "shrug" it up and out of the hooks... this of course completely unlocked my left scapula and left me pretty much unable to lift worth shit. The weight came down on my chest a little quick and its sore now but I'm alright. If I could stay tight 255lb would be in the bag. HS Lat Pulldown 45s x 8 2 45S 4x10,8,7,6 DB M Press 25lb x 10 30lb x 10 35lb x 10 40lb x 10,10 Cable Curls 50lb x 10 60lb x 12 70lb x 12 80lb x 10 90lb x 9 Thougths Well I'm a little dissapointed that I messed up my decline day but I'm glad I figured out what was wrong anyways. IW |
somebody needs to make a handoff "robot" or something. that shit used to happen to me all the time.
get it next time dude :) and don't forget to skip the wings :) |
I did skip the wings this time. My energy was great. My shoulder getting loose really F*ed over this time. OH wellll!

Weight: 190.5lb one bad weekend and I'm right back to where I started... Squats bar x 8 135lb x 5 185lb x 3 205lb x 5 215lb x 5 225lb x 5 235lb x 5 245lb x 2 This made me realize that my muscular endurance is crap. I was absolutely wiped after this. Straight Leg Deadlifts 60kg x 8 80kg 3x8 Bar Rollouts from knees 2x8 from feet (negs) 1x2 Thougths I'm starting to wonder if this diet can really fit into my lifestyle. So I've decided to work with higher volume for 4 weeks and then back to strength training for 4 weeks, rinse and repeat. I think I'm going to do medium volume (3x5-5x5) for one week alternated with high volume (3x8 - 4x10+) for 1 week (alternate for 4 weeks). I haven't really done much volume work on the big 3 for a long time and my legs are hurting now becaues of it. IW |

Try taking measurements of your bodyparts waist etc,to see if your losing fat.Scales are a piss poor way to tell.If you are not losing fat try adding more cardio especially first thing in the morning.Are you doing any cardio? If not DO SOME!!!!! :) Might need to adjust your calories a bit too. |
I have got into cardio a little bit but I've had a hard time getting into it as a regular thing... you're definately right though.
|
The decline is looking great. Would a lift off help with the big singles to avoid the stretching out problems? (or is that a sin like the spotter touching the bar?). Keep up the intensity good F'n JOB.

Sometimes I found it easy to stick to rice and chicken or groundbeef for every meal. Plain but simply and it still works. Try to think of whatever you do as a lifestyle not a diet. You must stick to it all the time. Cheats will be added in , so there will always be time to go out to dinner or whatever. Your workouts are looking good. :) |
I think this not having a job is really screwing around with me. I have no routine and no schedule. Besides the fact that I'm starting to crazy sitting at home.
Oh yeah.... my legs are hurting really bad today. REALLY bad. |

i hear you on going crazy...if it was not six degrees i could do stuff outside. but. it is six degrees. |

Weight: 191.0lb ... I think I might be done with this diet after I finish off this week's food. My life is just way too inconsistent right now.

Weight: 189.0lb down 3.0lb in 4 days... bouncing all over the place still Deadlifts bar x 8 50kg x 8 70kg x 8 90kg x 8 110kg x 8 130kg x 8 Front Squats 95lb x 8 115lb x 8 135lb x 8 155lb x 8 Back Extensions bw + 25lb x 10 bw + 35lb 3x10 This kills my hamstrings... I think its more just the fact that they are getting stretched really hard. Leg Raises 4 x 8,7,6,6 Thougths Well I've done some thinking about my diet and I think instead of starting all over again I may as well just figure this out and start it right. I am going to make some changes though. I'm switching to mon-fri no carbs (except pwo) and 2 weekend days will be carb days. I'm also going to try and find some batteries for my scale and find out exactly how much I'm taking in... damn things are some weirdo watch battery size. The volume work felt much better today then last time. IW |

35min on treadmill God damn thing wasn't working very well so I just went at 4.5mph and cycled the incline. I didn't want to run because it kept slowing down whenever I stepped too wide. I was scared to have an accident... everyone knows treadmill accidents are a serious case of rug burn waiting to happen. lol IW |
Well I think I figured out why this diet isn't working as good as it should. Besides the fact that I was using cooked weight instead of uncooked which was a big enough mistake on its own... I also made a mistake in my spreadsheet that was doubling the amount of ground beef that I was accounting for...
Sooo.... I've probably been taking in closer to 4000cals then the 3000cals that I planned. Its all coming together now.... So 2nite I have to do some refiguring etc. Oh ya, got some batteries for my scale. Should be able to figure out exactly what I'm taking in now. IW |
you can measure it cooked or uncooked....you just need to know the nutrition facts for each per ounce.
|
Well I'm assuming the labels on the food is for uncooked. Correct?
IW |
usually for beef...4 oz. has 22 g of protein...is that what the label says? if it is...then it's for uncooked :)
|
Everything is in grams. lol
100g lean ground beef = 15g fat, 20g protein, |
yeah, that's raw :)

Weight: 186.0 I definately looked/felt leaner all this week and the scale proves it. I think I may have my diet more or less figure now. Running the TCD for 5 days straight is going to be great I think. Deadlifts bar x 5 40kg x 5 60kg x 5 80kg x 3 100kg x 5 120kg x 5 130kg x 5 140kg x 5 150kg x 4 My last rep started to fall apart so I abandoned it but overall I'm happy with that. BB Lunges bar x 8 65lb x 8 85lb x 8 95lb x 8 Oblique Cable Twisty Thing 40lb x 12 45lb x 12 50lb x 12 55lb x 12 Thougths This workout was a little pressed for time.

On a good note, I signed a contact with a consulting firm for some casual work with the potential to go permanent if the work is there. Thank god! IW |
Great news about the job Dub!!
