J4GGA2's Log: Becoming More Athletic

Training Training Logs
402

Forgot to post, 74kg this morning, softer than yesterday.

This confirms 2 things:

  1. The rapid weight drop between Saturday and Sunday was a water and glycogen drop
  2. There’s no dire need to add the extra protein, but I think I will anyways just to be sure. Like I said, an extra 30-40g of protein is not gonna kill me
403

T r a s h e d . . . .

Might up calories seeing as I’ve got more training volume on BBS now. Hungry as hell, so I’ve been snacking on plain tuna.

EDIT:

3 hours later and I’m still feeling like shit. My guess to why:

  • Massive jump in training workload → Cortisol and Stress
  • Caloric deficit → Cortisol and Stress
  • Poor night’s sleep → Cortisol and stress
    The holy trinity…

Seriously tempted to start eating loads, because I love this training but good god am I trashed.

Could the permabulk life be for me? @duketheslaya @jfallon9

Zyzz disapproves.

Get shredded as fuark. Acquire aesthetics. Ask people if they are mirin

405

Sacrilegious as fuark, but I don’t even find Zyzz’s look particularly great

406

Lol, cracked.

In between meals 4 and 5:

  • 8 eggs, scrambled with 2 tablespoons of lard
  • 2 slices of whole-wheat, multi-grain bread
  • 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter
  • 1 litre of whole milk

Cal: 1992
Protein: 106
Fat: 127
Carbs: 97

To be fair, I’m sure there are worse ways to break a diet than eggs, milk and wholewheat bread. The peanut butter and lard was probably excessive though

Proud papis, where you at?

Conditioning
Skipping

Jumped around for ~25 minutes, trying to look like I knew what I was doing. Worked up to 8 skips in a row, and 10 consecutive single hops and toe catches.

How impressive…

Road to supaaa heavy yeaaah buddy

But is Zyzz a stronger person that’s harder to kill and more useful in general? Or is he basking in the fake gainz of sarcoplasmic hypertrophy? Can he deadlift 2x his BW? Can he even squat the bar? Let’s ask ourselves these questions before we consider form over function.

As Rip would say, “That’s some pajama-boy bullshit.”

Permabulking is for every lifter.

Soooooooo,

Feeling kinda lame right now, but the whole freak out about bulking really didn’t stick. Keeping up the cutting life - with some added calories - to make zyzz proud.

Next time, remind me to plan a refeed :joy:

Guess who can’t make up their mind about anything
me.

BBS was a total grind, and that’s after a 2000+ calorie refeed and a larger than normal breakfast. Might leave counting calories alone and just eat, based off:

A great set of guidelines, but I find works better for slow gains than fat loss

He’s Stan freaking Efferding, and the principles from this are working so far
