MattSxvx Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Sort of fell off the wagon yesterday as far as my "diet" goes. I ate a whole bag of granola for breakfast. I only ended up overeating my total calories by 400 or so, but it wasnt ideal. I hate being a stressful eater. Had a terrible 36 hour shift. I am paying for it so far today.

One day falling off the wagon isn't going to hurt your progress at all - just throw it into the tank, get some good sleep when you can, and keep at it. You've accomplished a lot the past few weeks, mate, keep it in perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini Forklift Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Don't stress about the diet, one day won't ruin many days of good work. Nice work with those deadlifts, 225 x 12 is pretty chunky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattSxvx Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Thanks! I am happy with results thus far. I am kind of unsure about adding more calories though. We will see how it goes. Derek is the boss though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek is the boss though. I feel you. I've been putting off bumping my calories up for a while. Former fat kid syndrome and all. However, sometimes bumping up your calories actually helps you drop fat because you've been, unknowingly, eating less than your TDEE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattSxvx Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Had a completely god aweful 24 hour shift yesterday. Got off work 2 hours late, pretty much zero sleep. Have not been able to sleep today because i had to go do orientation for my new job. I feel gross again today. Going to try to take a bunch of green tea and head to the gym and see how that goes. I feel so beaten and unmotivated all of a sudden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattSxvx Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Even with pretty much no sleep for 36 hours I managed to up some things. I think the Vega Sport + Green Tea right before the workout helped a lot though. Warm-up Stretch BB Squats:135x12, 225x12, 285x12, 335x12 (last 4-5 werent all the way down, ouch) DB Incline Bench: (accidentally did incline instead of flat, whoops)35sx15, 50sx12, 60sx12, 70sx9 (one more rep than last time) BB Bent Over Rows: (wide feet, underhand grip)95x12, 115x12, 135x12, 175x8 (5 second pause) 175x3 (so 11 total) DB Shrugs:55sx12, 70sx12, 85sx12, 95sx12 Incline DB Fly's:25sx12, 30sx12, 40sx12, 50sx12, 55sx11 (so close on this one but when i got all the way down, it would not budg Walking Dumbell/Plate Lunges: (still sore from when I did these last time)45 lb plate held overhead x 16 steps x 3 sets 45 pound dumbells in each hand (90 total) x 16 steps (sucked so much) 1900 jump ropes (exhaustinggggggggggggggggg) I dont like the direction by body fat has gone. It read 14.9% today, but I guess that could be due to increased stress the last 2-3 days about moving and changing jobs as well as a very busy shift with no sleep.

MattSxvx Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Wow, I actually got 9 hours of sleep. I felt awesome going into this workout. Warm up Stretch Bi/tri supersets (hammer curl first set 30s (60 total together) x 42 reps) I really like burning out my arms from the start and struggling for the rest of the workout. They feel more pumped the whole time. Bi/Tri negatives and holds 2000 jump ropes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
