Re: A log from the other side of the world Sorry it’s been so long since my last post, Saturdays session was a monster, high rep sets that ended in a tear in my lower back causing a shooting pain down my left leg. Thankfully, once the spasm had calmed down a bit the leg is back to normal though only squats will tell how good the back is. So hear is the set: Military press – 3 sets of 12 reps – final set included 3 forced reps Partial Military press – 1 set of 12 reps Military press Hold – as previous sets with hold reps, held much heavier weight for 30 seconds to get used to being under heavier weight. Super slow B/Bell curls (EZ Bar) – 3 sets of 12 reps with forced reps Partial curls – 1 set of 12 Squats – 1 set of 15 reps Partial Squats – 1 set of 6 reps and then came the injury… I tried to battle through thinking that it was my mind playing tricks on me, but sure enough it wasn’t – Lesson learned. So on Sunday I started on my cyclic ketogenic diet, I am now on day 4 and well and truly into ketosis, after the 2 days of lethargy I now have loads of energy despite only consuming 2195 calories per day. Tonight will be the moment of truth, weight should have plummeted over the last few days, mainly due to no creatine and therefore a lot of excess water has been offloaded. When I’ve done this diet previously I have lost about 3kgs per week, though admittedly I was a fair bit fatter. I am hoping for about 1kg per week as I am only doing the diet for 2-3 weeks and this should take me close to 10-11% BF. The end of this 12 week program is nearly here so I promise I will get y photos up – It will be good to see the progress from Day 0 – 12 weeks – 24 weeks CMinOZ |
