Ryan's Training Log

Good looking back work. Lots of bicep volume. Working on gunz I see. Keep killing those workouts and some cardio. Keep the tight tight and you’ll lose it good

Oh yeah forgot to post the diet from yesterday. Didn’t eat until 1145 when I had 3 scrambled eggs with low fat mozz cheese on top. Nothing till supper which came in 2 parts. First part was leftover chicken breast (fried, tore off the skin couldn’t just throw it away). Second part was salad, boneless chicken breast (tons of seasonings, super tasty) and about a half cup of old home cottage cheese. Other than that drink a little over a gallon of water…Still no bread but my issue is feeling better!

Good man keep the gluten out. But really watch for it. It’s in everything. You really have to read labels. Search for a list of places where gluten is hidden on google. It will be eye opening

Whats up fellas? Indeed Bernie I would recommend the 5/3/1 workout so far so good for me its all about strength in numbers when it comes to pushing yourself.

Hello fellas, Yeah bernie I would recommend the 5/3/1 workout. It blows for being sore but at the same time you get the results you want

Sore or not doesn’t equal results sorry. Bad gauge for progress

Food was good 3 scrambled eggs with swiss cheese for lunch, protein bar in afternoon (supreme, thanks chief, addicted), chicken breast and beef roll up for supper with cottage cheese, marinara and beef and a torilla which I thought was corn, was flour…Feels not so good.

Arnold press is that exercise.

How’d the box squats feel? Able to sit down a bit better rather than fold over? Work on opening up hips so you can sit down not fold up

Definitely working better than without the box. I have realized that hip mobility is an issue of mine, even on RDL’s…However this is the first time that I can remember where I completed a leg workout and have not had a sore lower back…must have done something better.

Awesome thsts great to hear man keep working on it

Well, what a fun weekend. Did cardio every day, lifted on Thurs and Sat but was on the other side of the state and did not have a log. Lets get it.

Whelp did a leg workout last night followed up by 35 min’s cardio. Down 5 lbs in just over a week, a good buddy of mine informed me that if I don’t up my calories I will not succeed at sustainable weight loss so I better work on that as well.

Food yesterday was about 3/4 pound of lean beef patties (no bun) and 2 slices swiss cheese, fasted until that point.

How’s gluten free? Remember to read labels it’s filler in so many thinfs

Going good so far, by body definitely does not like wheat not really sure what gluten all entails. Its crazy, went a week without then ate a breadstick and all hell broke loose in me!

Cals still pretty low but seem to have more energy. I wonder if this is because the pills I am taking have greater effect on an empty stomach?

Wow its been a while. Anyways, last night I had a great workout.

Chest

Bench 4x6
Incline press 3x10
Decline flys 3x10
Cable Flyes 2x25

Tris

Skull Crushers 4x6
Supermans 3x10
Dips 4x20

When I was done I ran 1.67 miles if you could call it that. Really ran .6-.7 miles, walk-run intervals for the next mile, man I am out of shape. The eating hasn’t been very good lately but down 13 lbs overall.
