You probably won’t notice any effects until 2-3 weeks in. Joints did feel REALLY good though :)[/quote]

Ahhhhhhhh, now I’m not so terrified anymore. Here I was thinking that you were just constantly bleeding all the time like some kind of monster. I guess we’ll know if it happens or not by the end of June, eh? Wish me luck!

Hey Sayjin,

I love the pics you put in your profile. It really keeps it interesting.

Also, your meal prep and planning is admirable. I really love those photos.
You know what they say, you can’t out-train your diet.

Good job with making a plan and sticking with it.

Your health is your best investment.

Hey, just browsed your log and it’s interesting. I intend to be in the olympics as a wrestler or judoka by 2012 or '16, so maybe I’ll see you there! Are you on a ketogenic diet right now? If so, how’s that treating you in the gym? Still making gains?

Well hello there OctoberGirl!

Thanks for gracing my thread with your presence, and I appreciate the kind words as well. Dieting in general is rough, so I’m trying to do all that I can do to make it
a less painful experience, and meal prep is the cornerstone of that - if you fail to plan, then you plan to fail!

I’m really glad I started this log too. Even if I’m not accepted into the clinic, what you said about ones health is the absolute truth. I’ve already had 20 years of very shitty dietary choices, and I realize that if I don’t do something about it now then I very well may not live long enough to accomplish the things I’ve set out to do.

Thanks for stopping by my good man! I’m want to stay that I’m on a targeted ketogenic diet because of my carbs PWO, but the last time I got into the different types of ketogenic diets I just got all confused lol. All I know is that its working and I haven’t experience any shortcomings in the gym, so I’m going to keep working it until it stops working for me.

BTW, if we both make it in 2012, look for the guy with the huge afro - that’ll be me (and I’m sure this will please TMoney as well, lol)

Monday

2 HRX

Meal 1 - 4 omega 3 eggs, 1 scoop Grow!, broccoli, 10g fish oil

PR Zone 1:
Dumbbell Shrugs (2x60lb) - 90 reps
Dips - 85 reps at a bodyweight of 189

PR Zone 2:
Chinups - 40 reps at a bodyweight of 189
Barbell Military Press - 45 reps of 75lbs

My gym was closed yesterday, but luckily my friend works at a gym on U of M’s campus so she can get in to workout on days that its closed or after hours - sweet! I was fully prepared to head over to the playground to try and do what I could do, but luckily I didn’t have to.

I’ve noticed my dip numbers are influenced by the exercise that I pair them with. For instance, if I pair them with pushups then I’m lucky to get even 40, but when pairing them with shrugs I managed to knock out close to 100, only getting really close to failure near the end.

Had my cheat meal yesterday, but I kept it fat/protein based, saving my carb based cheat meal for this upcoming Sunday. I’m sitting comfortably at 189 as of yesterday as well as this morning, so I’m expecting to drop at least another 2lbs by Sunday if not more. I actually cant wait until I start only losing 1lb or 2lbs a week because at that point I know I’ve hit what I’ve coined as the Gus Period. By that point I wont be dropping much water, and the fat loss grind will be in full effect by that point.

Whewwwwwwwww - my hamstrings are fried this morning! I haven’t done direct hamstring work in a long time, so its only natural, but I didn’t think it’d be this bad!

On a more interesting note, I took my last serving of HRX about 30min before bed last night because I hadn’t been home to do so earlier. I was worried because I’ve read how people are wired all night because they took some too close to bed time time. Me? I was out like a rock without any problems…wonderful.

I’m also going to get my Biosignature done either here in MI or I’ll be travelling across the border to Toronto. All this reading about it has piqued my interest, and at the very least I’ll get an accurate bodyfat% measuring

So I assume you go to UMich, correct?

My cousin goes to Michigan State, and a friend of mine will be working up in East Lansing this summer. From what my cousin told me, UMich and Mich State are only about an hour away, is that right?

414

Actually I go to school about 10min away from UMich at Eastern Michigigan University, but I’d say you’re pretty close to how long it takes to get to UMich from State. Usually it takes me an hour and a half, but thats just because I hate getting tickets.

Friday

2 HRX

Meal 1 - 1 scoop Metabolic Drive, 1 scoop Whey, 2 servings Chia, 10g fish oil

Meal 2 - 2 servings Mandarin chicken, 1 serving Orange Chicken

Meal 3 - 4oz chicken breast, broccoli

2 HRX

Meal 4 - 6oz steak

Welp, today was a day that put the saying ‘fail to plan and you’ll plan to fail’ to the test. I didnt get much sleep on Thursday night and woke up later than usual on Friday morning, so I didnt get a chance to prep my meals and had to make due with what was out there in the world since I was at work from 6am to 2:30. I was exhausted by the time I came home and planned on taking a nap and then going to work out, yet that nap turned into a sleep of epic proportions, so I didn’t wake up until 10pm, ate some food, and fell right back asleep until 8 this morning.

Today I’m going out to dinner at Outback tonight with my girlfriend and will have my cheat meal then. I’ll weigh myself on Sunday morning, take pictures, and from that point on (until I get get down to 180 or lower)I’ll be going back to Rob Faigin’s Natural Hormonal Enhancement program, as it was the one that I’ve had enjoyed the most success on, and I think that it will help my break this 189/190 plateau I’ve been stuck on.

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.

Very similar to the AD, but with more frequent carb ups that are restricted to the last meal of the day spread 3/4 days apart instead of one full day devoted to carbs.

The only reason I transitioned off of it was because I had planned on gaining some mass, but I realize that I want to really get ripped before I even try that, because once I start I’m not going to go through a true ‘cutting’ phase for a long while (at least a year).

So here is the plan if you were interested:

Mon - Tuesday: <20g carbs

Wed: Carb load at the final meal before bed (I already have it planned out - 2/3 oranges and a serving of oatmeal)

From that point on, I’ll be carb loading at the of the day every 4th day, then every 3rd day, so after Wed my next load would be Sunday night.

My drawback on the AD was having a full day devoted to carbs. While I wasnt as bad as some people claiming to knock back 10,000 calories in a day, I had my fair share of flip outs and would rather not go back through that vicious cycle again.

Ahhhh gotcha, makes sense. Sounds like Joel Marion’s Cheat To Lose diet, with 2 days strict, then re-feed day, then strict again.

Thanks for the info.
