It's taken almost 9 months to beat my 145kg previously (but not been training for strength until the last 3 weeks so thats to be expected) very happy Nick ______________________ - Obsession is what lazy people call dedication - |

Started my cut today (with a view to reverting back to non-cut if i do marco's routine) today: supps: 160mg supralip (fenofibrates)/day 2 ephedrine, 200mg asprin, 300mg caffeine 10g creatine micronised mono ON whey Extreme MRP food: meal 1: -6 whites, 1 whole egg, large bowl of muesli in skimmed with banana meal 2: 250 grams steak, 2 onions, 1/4 broccolli, 1 clove garlic, coriander meal 3: banana, Extreme MRP, 40 gram nut/seed mix meal 4: PWO shake, 2 scoops whey, 1/2 scoop dex meal 5: cous cous, 4 egg whites, pumpkin seeds with 250g turkey breast meal 6: 1 whole egg, 3 whites, 250 g turkey, little bit of olive oil + coriander just had meal 6, and feel really really hungry. the above diet is calorifically about 50% of what i've been doing up until now for the last 4 months... drank about 8litres of water too. training: 10 minutes high intensity x trainer 50 minute core/abs workout without much break. sweating throughout and ephedrine (ECA) obviously made my HR high throughout. very happy with the first day, no cheat at all ! Nick ---- Feb 6, 2007 at 8:15 AM few days in now, have kept religiously to my diet, had a stupidly hardcore night out on saturday but behaved myself with no alcohol involved haven't found it too hard to stick to the diet so far, and although my strength seems to have dropped, i feel like i have already noticed reductions around the waistband. I think its fair to say my water has dropped from the lowered carbohydrates and bit of cardio i'm doing. I was worried that the use of fibrates would boost my apetite (one of the side-effects) but it hasn't seemed to do that. However my thirst has massively increased, and drinking about 8 - 10 litres of water/day. i've dropped from 15 6 to 15 2 too. I did a chest day yesterday and was disappointingly weak, managed 1 rep on bench at 130kg and struggled 8 on 40kg incline... in comparison i could normally do about 150kg bench and 12 - 14 on incline. eating lots of veggies and made an excellent soup yesterday, heres the recipe: 1 whole chilli 2 cloves garlic 2 red onions 1/8th broccoli 20 mange tout fresh basil coriander corn 6 egg whites 500 grams turkey 150 grams egg noodle bit of salt + pepper litre of water 2 chicken stock cubes was 3 meals worth, very filling and very very tasty ! calorifically sound at about 450 cal/portion too ! Cardio, gonna be doing 2 boxing sessions per week (i really fear i'm gonna be super unfit at least for the first few sessions), probably popping an eca before each session and thats it for the week. on top of that, adding 15 - 20 minutes x-trainer/cycle/row after each workout, doing varied HIT stuff. Any comments always appreciated, Nick --- on Feb 7, 2007 at 2:27 PM ate quite a fair bit today, but went to gym at 915 for about 40 minutes of 3min/1min skipping (3 mins skipping, 1 min rest) alla boxing training. boxing training tomorrow and probably no time to train friday due to interview for a job in london, back on in saturday night weights wise ! --- Feb 15th: OK so i've been ill for about a week now, and been eating quite a lot of shit and not sleeping too good. went to gym today and nailed bench 140kg for 5 reps , then 162.5 for 1! really shocked me and i'm well happy. No stimulants or anything, just a bit of coffee before hand. Lots of smelling salts, and a belt. Using powerlifting style arched back. woohoo! weight 14 10 down from 15 5 Nick ______________________ - Obsession is what lazy people call dedication - |
