Thursday’s workout - Ended prematurely due to wardrobe malfunction
So my one friend always asks me why I go to workout in pants, and my response is because I dont like sweats that much, and if I’m not running then they really don’t get in my way.
Today, I learned why I shouldnt wear jeans to the gym.
It was meant to be a conditioning day, filled with dumbbell swings and fun shit like that. On my first rep of swings I feel a rip in my pants. I stopped, checked it out, and figured that it wouldn’t be that bad, so I continued on thinking that this was as bad as it would get. I pump out another rep and it tears again, but I’m determined to get through this workout, so I swing again and again until it finally rips like…for real rips.
This wouldn’t have been so bad, had it not been for the fact that I was freeballin that day.For some reason I chaf a lot when I do my cardio, and I thought going commando would help. So there I am, standing with my butt cheek exposed from the back, and man sack hanging from a tear in the thigh from the front. Had I not brought my big shirt with me and pulled one of these moves, I most likely would’ve been arrested for being a pervert.[/quote]
hahaha
good timing on goin commando
So here is the plan to rip this fat off me once and for all.
Weight training days
180g Protein (720)
90g Fat (810)
70g Carbs (280)
Total Calories = 1810
Non-weight training days
180g Protein (720)
90g Fat (810)
30g Carb max (120)
Total Calories = 1650
Cheat meal protocol: Every 2 weeks; either fruit based or trying something new from one of Shugs’ recipies or from Gourmet Nutrition.
This is my final big push, and according to the numbers it should work. I’m looking forward to the awesome results that will follow.
Alright Tmoney, back to your question!
School is coming along just fine. Aside from the boring reading material, I actually enjoy the classroom discussion and since its only 2x a week, I have time to enjoy the summer, which leads me to my next point.
Since I’m a student and this is on campus employment, I’m limited to working 40hrs a week during the spring and summer semesters, meaning I could either work this physical labor job for a mandatory 40hrs at minimum wage, or go back to the library and work 20hrs while making a bit more. I asked my boss at the library if she could hold my hours for a week until I made a decision on which job I wanted to work.
Well, today I made my decision - I quit my new job and I’m heading back to the library, for the following reasons:
The job I just quit was 6am-2:30pm, meaning I had to be up at 5am. While I have no qualms with getting up early, the pay needs to be worth me going to at 8 or 9pm, which it isnt.
I’ve been dead tired after getting off work since Monday and I dont have the energy to workout, I’m always grumpy and snappy, and I find it hard to focus on the homework that I need to get done.
Some things are more important than money. I’d rather have time to spend with my girlfriend and accomplish my goals in the gym and outside of it, and it just wouldn’t happen working this schedule. I paid up my rent until the end of June, so I can survive this summer with limited funds. According to my budget, I’ll make enough to pay the bills, buy the food I need to reach my goals, and have a little bit of fun as well. I also have enough supps to last me for awhile, so I’m good on that front as well.
Hopefully that answers your question =)
Revamped EDT Workout
I made some changes to my workout in order to spread apart the muscles worked more often, as well as focus on different rep ranges. My leg is feeling much better now, but I don’t want to risk messing it up with heavy squats and knocking myself out the clinic pool when the coaches are about to pick new participants, so I’m going to lay off of those.

PR Zone 2:

I had to force myself through what part of my workout I did do because I was dead tired from the workout I got on the job today. I called it 1/4 into my second PR Zone because I was filled with an all encompassing sense of apathy before I even walked into the gym, and despite trying to rid myself of it, it just wasnt happening.
I think Friday’s workout will be better for sure, since thats my last day at work, so I can go home, take a nap, and wake up refreshed to hit the weights without worrying about screwing up my sleep scehdule.

Well done my man. And glad you went back to the library job. The physical labor job + training wouldn’t be good for strength, recovery, attitude, etc. Smart choice.
Yeah I feel ya on the limited funds, gotta make things work, right?
And I’m liking the new diet plan, sounds like you have a good game plan.
Heading home tomorrow :), be back Monday night, then hittin it hardcore on Tuesday :). No excuses all summer, got all of June and July to make it happen.
As Ronnie Coleman would say: “Ain’t nuttin to it but to do it.”

i wish i could work 6am to 2:30pm i would be in heaven. I get to work a manual labor job from 10pm - 7am 40hrs every week ;X. My pay ALMOST makes it worth it though…money isnt everything…
Ha, I wish we could switch because I’m a certified night owl. I actually talked to boss today and asked them if he could raise my pay to the rate at which they hire in those who aren’t students at, and if he could do that I’d stay for 2 days out of the week. He said he’d talk to HR about it because he would like to keep me there since I’m a hard worker, so I can’t wait to see if it all works out.
16hrs there + 24 at the library = 40hrs max I can work as a student = Happy Sayjin.
2 HRX
Meal 1 - 3oz steak, 1 scoop Metabolic Drive, 2 serving Chia, 2tsp fish oil
Meal 2 - 6oz steak, broccoli, 1tbsp EVOO
Meal 3 - 3oz steak, broccoli, 1tbsp EVOO, 1oz almonds
Meal 4 - 3oz steak
2HRX
Meal 5 - 1 scoop Metabolic Drive, broccoli
The picture above is 15oz of raw steak being cooked in my pan. Wow is all I can say. Now that I measure my food out raw, I can see why I haven’t been losing weight when I think of how much I was eating before, despite keeping a food log.
According to my calculations, my breakdown for today is the following:
192g Protein
102g Fat
<15g carbs
And I’m ravenous. This lets me know that I’m on the right track because after all this is a diet and I should be hungry. It means my body is pulling its energy reserves from somewhere else…either that or I’m losing muscle, but thats a risk I’m willing to take right now. I have some bulk BCAA, so I’m going to add 10g into my diet when I wake up, sometime during the afternoon, and right before I go to bed to try and prevent that from happening. I also have a ton of fish oil, so I’m going to make sure I get 30-40g of fish oil every single day. If fat loss stalls at some point, I’ll add in some post workout cardio.
Its time to pull out all the stops.

Do I want it bad enough? We’ll see,

Regarding the mega dosing fish oil: At the beginning of the year, I ran Waterbury’s Summer Project combined with mega-dosing fish oil. I took 10 Flameout a day and 20 GNC fish oil caps per day.
Summary:
Good: joints felt really good all the time
Bad: After about 5 weeks, I started bleeding really easy, and started bleeding from all openings (not going into detail, but you know what I mean)
Opinion: it’s up to you. If you have the funds, do it and let me know if it works for you. Just giving you my experience.

Man, that sounds like a horror movie! How quickly did the bleeding stop after you lowered your fish oil doseage? That sounds horrrible man…sorry to hear that happened to you. I’ll be sure to let you know how everything turns out though, as I’m doing this with liquid fish oil instead of caps because its actually a bit cheaper.

Just got back from an hour bike through Ann Arbor. Its about 69 degrees so I figure it would be a good day to get out of the apartment and embarass myself with my rediculous looking helmet.

After I lowered it, the bleeding stopped immediately. I wasn’t bleeding constantly all the time, just bleeding easier. Nosebleeds (which I NEVER get), I cut myself on accident once, and I didn’t stop bleeding for a couple of hours, even though the cut was only a few millimeters long.
You probably won’t notice any effects until 2-3 weeks in. Joints did feel REALLY good though
