scornell Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hey Everyone, I'm hoping to start a comprehensive blog (ya, blogging is a new hobby of mine) that details my nutrition and training opinions. For now though, I'm going to make posts nutrition and my many athletic persuits. I"m hoping this will keep me more accountable to train hard and eat well. I'm expecting to learn some things from all the great minds on this forum as well! Currently, I"m persuing several avenues of fitness: 1) Bodybuilding--I don't like using this term because I'm nowhere near big enough to consider myself one. However, I love lifting weights and putting on mass, so I suppose that makes my training body building. I"m using a modifed form of DC training. I will be going into great detail about DC training, but basically, its blowing my mind. I love it. 2) Gymnastics. So a friend of mine owns a dance studio, and has started showing me stretching (hard, painful stretching!) how to do cartwheels, handstands etc. She is pushing to get me into breakdancing as well. 3) Running. I love running, always will. I drop weight like crazy when I'm runnign a lot, and i'm more focused on putting on mass. Right now, I'm struggling to go slower on my runs. I hope to do a few races over the fall/summer and will keep people posted Just to Give people a General Idea of my fitness levels, here are some stats off the top of my head 5'7", about 165Squats - pyramided to 285 for 5 solid reps (no belt)Deadlift - Pyramided to I believe 255 for 8 Reps last workout (no belt or straps)Leg Press - About 800 Pounds I think last timeChest Press - umm, BB, can't recall, but I did Incline Db press with 75s with good depth and temp on my last workout--> I will probably write a post abotu this late, but my strenght has skyrocketed since Novemebr, when I started eating properly and doing DC training Jumping - I can jump up onto an aerobic platform with 19 levels under it (if that makes sense to anyone)Running - my 5 km time is about 18 mins i'd say? 10 is low 40s, haven't done a half in a looong timeGymnastics - My handstands are terrible. landed some 1 handed cartwheels the other day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xphilx Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 cool to see a dc log on here. a really interesting programm and one i defenitely will try in some day in the future, although i wouldn't modify it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scornell Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 Ya, modifying it is sort of stupid, but mostly I made very small modifications...Mostly the stretching, and I usually do Calves on a separate day from legs with abs/light cardio I'm re reading teh DC training system to ensure I'm doing fairly correctly. I did it for several months starting last November, and my gains were amazing. i got kind of complacent and started slacking, so i'm going hard again. I think I'll start posting my food, b/c that has been my achilles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scornell Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 taking a break from DC for a short while... I'm actually doing the ultimate diet 2.0.I'm on the first day of my carb depletion...Its not horrible yet, but i'm sure its going to suck after a few days of this. I'm only going to try this out for a week or two, see how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scornell Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 So, I'm winding down now, day 2 of the ultimate diet 2.0. This is extremely hard, today's workout was a real struggle to get through. I'm feeling proud though for just getting through yesterday and today. Tommorow is the real test though, If you're curious, I generally eat about 400 -500 grams of carbs a day I'd say And for teh last two days, between 60-100 2 more days tillI carb load!

scornell Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Wow, the carb depletion phase went by in a weird, blur. Fealt sort of nautious and had a dull headache the entire time. The 2nd workout on the 4day of carb depletion was definitely a battle. One my hardest workouts to get rhough psychologically. The carb up phase was epic..I put on I think about 8 pounds overnight, which was pretty cool...filled back out... Overall, after just one week, came out harder and leaner. I have an exam coming up though, so I'm laying off the Ultimate diet 2.0 for now...It's definitley a good way to get through teh last couple pounds of body fat. Starting my next DC bulking phase in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scornell Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 My training and eating have really sucked this summer.
