Hey Coach,

I am 5’8" and 182lbs at 14% BF I have been stuck at this wt and BF for months and want to add some muscle. Do you think 300g carbs is too much, even if they are mostly during and in the 2-3 meals after my workout?

Thanks Coach[/quote]

This is goodfellow’s thread. I was just dropping by to help him a bit. I will NOT answer questions on HIS thread. That shows a complete lack of respect on your part.

Best of luck with the training man !
Keep going and for the idiots in the gym get an ipod and just turn it up loud xD
Wish you all the best !

I want to apologize for this. I did not realize I was on his forum. I clicked on CT’s name in the author’s locker room and this is where I ended up. Again, I ment no disrespect.

Goodfellow, I’m on the same boat as you right now. I’ve used the Clinic as a springboard to start my own hardcore training, and I’m putting myself through the same thing right now (although we’re going down different paths…)

Good luck with your clinic! I might join you on here with my own progress log soon.

Thank you very much for the response guys, and thank you CT for responding, i’ll take what you say into consideration.

I needed this today, it didn’t go so well. While I was eating my prawns, cucumber etc. I threw up, I don’t know if I ate too much in a short space of time

(meal 4 - 4:30pm - 150g prawns, 50g macadamia nuts, 1 cup cucumber

meal 5 - 6:30pm - 7oz turkey, 1 cup broccoli, 1 tomato

meal 6 - 8:15pm - 150g prawns, 50g macadamia nuts, 1 cup cucumber)

or if it was the turkey, broccoli… I always feel strange after eating that meal.

Anyway, the frustration from today has just garaunteed that I am going to succeed in this. I am training shoulders/triceps tomrorow morning and I am going to TRASH that workout.

Anyway im not going to cut back on the prawns - 100g, and the nuts, and change turkey to salmon.

Having a Metabolic Drive Complete 3 scoops vanilla before I go to bed, with 7 Flameout.

Diet for 14th december:
meal 1 - 10am, 3 scoops Metabolic Drive Complete, 1 cup blueberries, 2 medium oranges

meal 2 - 2pm, 1 serving Surge & 12 BCAA’s during workout.

meal 3 - 2:45pm, 2 scoops Metabolic Drive Complete, 5oz chicken, 100g sweet potato, 1/2 cup celery

meal 4 - 4:45pm, 150g prawns, 50g macadamia nuts, 1 cup cucumber

meal 5 - N/A due to it jumping out of my stomach into the toilet.

meal 6 - same as above.

meal 7 - 3 scoops Metabolic Drive Complete, 4 Flameout

going to bed now 23:51

Take note people, thats the last time you’ll see a day of less than 100% diet following.

Lesson learned from today: Do not try and ‘compact’ meals into your day, if you don’t have time for them, dont eat them… or you’ll just puke up and be worse off anyway.

Woke up feeling nice and healthy this morning, had my breakfast at 8:50ish, finished it at 9:15. Had 3 scoops of Metabolic Drive complete, 1 cup blueberries and 2 medium oranges.

Going to the gym soon, half hour or so - Shoulders & Triceps today.

My back also feels nicely worked from yesterday’s leg workout, must of been those brtual Squats & RDL sets!

Workout - Shoulders & Triceps, saturday.

Workout started at 11am, finished at 12pm.

Sipping Surge w/ 1 teaspoon creatine now at 12:10pm.

Heres how the workout went:

notes: left shoulder is weaker than right, I will alternate arms next time on the hammer strength press. I did additional assisted reps because I was pissed that I couldn’t get more reps on the second set.

I did more on set 2 of lat raises, because I felt that the pain on set 1 was too mild.

I LOVE Standing one arm dumbbell presses.

I couldn’t find an exercise that could safely target my triceps over my chest. My chest overpowers them alot, even on tricep pushdowns. DB triceps extensions were good though.

Overall it was a good workout, I am just pissed because I dont want to be able to extend my arms after a tricep workout, I am going to have to experiment and find some exercises that work for me.

keep it up!

Another day, has started and had my usual breakfast of 3 scoops Metabolic Drive complete, 1 cup blueberries & 2 medium oranges at around 9:45am

Week 2 is definitely harder than 1, not due to motivation, but mostly due to my impatience, I know it’s ridiculous to expect visible gains already, but regardless of that: I’m getting antsy.

I am tempted to go swimming a couple days a week, which usually leans me up a bit, however I don’t want to go burning away muscle mass too.

Anyways, starting from tomorrow I have a week of exams so that should keep me busy, still going to have a spot on diet though :stuck_out_tongue:

12:45pm - meal 2 - 5oz chicken, 2 scoops Metabolic Drive complete, 100g sweet potato, 1/2 cup celery

having meal 3 at around 3:15ish

I WANT TO TRAIN!!! i’ve been itching here all day but I must recover.

Anyway I had my 150g shrimp, 1 cup cucumber & 1 tbsp macadamia nut oil, but this time!..

I cooked it, fried them in 2 tbsp nut oil until the cucumbers and shrimps were all crispy and sprinkled some cayenne pepper onto them. (2 tbsp nut oil because some is lost due to the cooking etc.)

much better than eating it cold and dipping it in nut oil…

Here’s another picture for you guys, I figured I needed to put up a back pic so I can compare progress for that in 11 weeks too!

Sorry about the bacne and stretch marks :frowning:

meal 4 - 6:30pm - 6oz salmon, 1 medium tomato, 1 cup spinach

ok making some changes to my diet:

adding 2oz onto my chicken intake and salmon intake.

adding 1 cup of strawberries to my breakfast.

having 1 1/2 serving of Surge instead of 1, and adding in 1 medium orange post-workout.

Diet for 16th December:
Meal 1 (9:45am) 3 scoops Metabolic Drive complete, 1 cup blueberries, 1 medium orange, 4 Flameout

Meal 2 (12:45pm) - 5oz chicken, 2 scoops Metabolic Drive Complete, 100g sweet potato, 1/2 cup celery

Meal 3 (3:15pm) - 150g prawns, 1 cup cucumber, 1 tbsp macadamia nut oil (LIGHTLY sprinkled with garlic, crushed chillies and cayenne pepper)

notes: loving the new addition to the prawns fried with the nut oil, I actually look forward to those snacks now!

Off to bed, another day starts tomorrow <=)

The coach should look at dumping Bizzare and taking this guy on. Goodfellow has kept us more updated and seems to be more diven than Bizzare could even imagine being. I’m also betting he’ll have better results doing his own thing here than the above mentioned will (shit there’s no update since the 13th wtf is that???)

Keep up the sterling work goodfellow. Not being selected for the clinic and doing this off your own back is awesome.

Yeah, I am quite disappointed with the updates of bizarre so far. Mostly due to the diet he was supposed to be following.

I’m not really going to have the clinic helping me in this regard anymore, but at least I have a base to work from and will just have to ‘feel’ my way through in terms of how I increase the calories.

And of course, i’ll have to pick out new food choices for the 10th january (when i update the diet), ack!

I just pray they consider non-US residents! :stuck_out_tongue:

But regardless of that, I will keep this up and post my results whether they be good or bad, but I am going to be 100% honest in the stuff I post each day.

Thank you for the support guys, I won’t let you down!

And to add onto that, I just bought another tub of Metabolic Drive complete chocolate for £30, so total £ spent now is £200.

Eating breakfast now: 9:54am, ill be eating:
3 scoops Metabolic Drive complete
1 cup blueberries
1 cup strawberries
2 medium clementines (much nicer and easier to peel than oranges <=))
