DAVegan Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Well, today was a bit of a fail, but at least I learned what not to do! 1 slice of whole wheat bread1 cup of Pom juice1/3rd of a cup of nuts1 & 1/2 cups of Pom lime1 bowl of mixed baked veggies & potatoHalf a small deep dish with veggies A glass of beer1 cup of apple juice5 strawberries1 banana2 servings of Sunwarrior1 organic peanut butter and superfood jelly sandwich on whole wheat And I didn't exercise beyond going for a walk because my arms and back were still too sore to do a press, work shoulders or even extend my arms for a tricep exercise! However, the pain and stiffness is finally going away so hopefully I'll be ready to work out again by tomorrow. I've literally never felt this sore for this long before. The doctor warned this might be the case, as I have no reserve muscle to rely on when I break one down through training. I will eat like mad tomorrow.

TripleH Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 ..is it just me or are you doing too much cardio for trying to bulk up? ..and are you getting enough calories? ..looking at your food intake, it doesn't look like it to me (tho I'm just a noob...)

DAVegan Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) Here's yesterday's log: 2 cups apple juiceA bowl of strawberries2 bananas2 scoops of Vega Whole Food2 tablespoon of Vega EFA oilA probar1 scoop of activated barley1 & 1/2 servings of SunwarriorA serving of nutsA cliff twisted fruitA bowl of oatmealA cup of raspberriesSome pineapple1/2 a cup of pom juice Not nearly enough obviously. I haven't yet worked out how to eat during a really busy day. Yesterday I had college, the gym, a music lesson, and then a first date all back to back. I ate a Probar after class and was able to make a protein shake after the gym, but had no time to make a full meal. It definitely showed me that I need to have more prepared meals ready to take in the car and such. Here's what I did in the gym (my new plan being to focus a lot more on compound movements): 10 minute stationary bike warm-up Dumbbell flat bench press 15lbs (per hand) x 17 reps22.5x1230x1230x1235x1035x6 Overhead barbell press 30 x 1030 x 830 x 730 x 6 Incline Dumbbell Bench Press 25 lbs (per hand) x 5 reps20 x 620 x 620 x5 Tricep pushdowns 25x1225x1430x6 (fried at this point) Edited October 1, 2012 by DAVegan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zack Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 100-120 g protein should be fine for you. I really like how you are starting your back workouts with pullups, I do the same. Why aren't you doing barbell squats and such? Solid work so far dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
