The Bodybuilders Thread: Circuit II

[InternetSwag]

**** my ****ing life.

The gym scale HAS to be broken.

I ate so much god damn food yesterday and even drank soda and *** (empty calories).

Get on scale this morning: 80.35kg (and I even had two breakfasts and didn't poop yet)

I feel like I'm getting trolled, it made my entire workout muff.

I been around 79-81kg for the last 2 months or so.

I want to weigh 90!

And I'm so tired of cooking !

Regarding actual training.

Last night was the first time in a very long time that I had to actually drop weight on my working sets with bench because I was failing my rep target zones. Been cutting rather hard the last 6-8 weeks and it seems to be catching up with me a bit now.

It was only on bench though, so might just have been an off day for bench. Pull ups, rows and accessories I maintained volume. Actually going up on curls and skull crushers.

I would take it as a positive that you haven't had to drop weight on your lifts. It would be the norm during a cut.

Yeah. Actually surprised myself that last night was the first time I couldn't maintain the weight I stopped bulking at.

I was planning on losing about 10% strength but happy it hasn't gone down south yet.

Planning to continue cutting until end of December maybe mid January. Want to be as lean as I've ever been before I start bulking again. This time trying to maintain the six-pack... Yes yes, I know. Easier said than done.

What do you estimate your BF at now, and what's your goal BF?

I'd say about 13-14%. Aiming to go down to 10% if I can keep sane long enough on the cut. It starts messing with me after a while eating the same stuff day after day after day. But it works and the results are showing.

 

[CodeMaster]

I agree, but it is the best and easiest plan. Good luck with your sanity!

What does your diet look like? Meal for meal?

 

[CodeMaster]

My wife believes what you eat today, only impacts you in a weeks time.

 

[Salt]

Why are you using a mass builder? Those are usually full of sugar and carbs.

Because at 4:30 in the morning I don't have time to make bfast before I hit the gym at 5. I personally train better with something in my tummy. I use the nutritech mass builder. Carbs, protein and creatine

I don't have a set diet. I generally try to get 3500 cals in per day, but I don't track it calorie for calorie like I used to - it's really time consuming. I do track protein though.

I'll list what I ate yesterday; (in no particular order of breakfast etc)

3 glasses of coke
Big bag of flings
3 bowls of Otees

Protein Shake;
200ml ice cream
80g whey
200ml water
200ml milk

Two bowls of spaghetti bolognaise

4 slices of bread (peanut butter and butter)
2 slices of bread (marmite and butter)
2 slices of bread (cheese, ham and mayo)

1 Steri Stumpi

Small whey shake;
25g whey
300ml milk

One can o gold ol Koo beans (**** the spar brand)

There may have been some more things here and there but they are rather small then, like maybe some biltong or whatever I can't remember everything I eat. I also drink a lot of water during my workout.

But like, is that not a **** load of food to you guys? It is to me I ****ing hate food after this bleh.

Edit: I forgot to add a can of baked beans.

FML I just gained 2KG's reading this post :erm:

I'm ****ing up (the variety of) my diet because I only meat and vegetables. I am tired. I want to eat some pasta again. And I want to drink some beer and brandy and coke again. But I can't. It contains to much sugar and starch.

I'm stuck with drinking whiskey and water and eating meat and vegetables every evening ... but it isn't giving me the results I'm looking for.

Did I say I'm gymming? I gym.

There's a marked improvement in my muscle tone and fitness but not in size. Yes, I do try and overload my muscles (to stimulate muscle growth) but I am constantly battling overloading my muscles and risking injury for lifting too heavy weights.

Mix it up bud, Try fish and you can have startches like Sweet potato/Brown rice/basmati/cous cous. Just don't go overboard. Also your body might need a bit of a wake up. Have a cheat day, have something you crave or you will be permanently thinking about those things. The way you are doing it is not sustainable as you are already looking to eat everything else

No man, please dont take offence but you are earing ****, you might as well rather leave it.

You need to choose, you either stay where you are now and be happy with it or start eating decently and get the gains that you want.

Just to iterate if you forgot, you are eating ****.

IIFYM

I'm not gonna eat lean chicken breast and broccoli all day

That was also literally just one days worth of diet. So if you want to judge based on that, you literally aren't worth my time.

That looks like a dirty bulk. If you're a power lifter, then it's fine - eat whatever you want (cause you clearly are with no apparent structure). If you're actually trying to sculpt your body, you really do need to clean up your diet drastically.

Eat clean, train dirty. It can't get simpler.

 

[APoc184]

You can really drop stuff like the Flings, Steri Stumpy and some of the bread. Those quick digest and processed Carbs do nothing but spike your insulin for very short periods of time.

Try get more natural foods in with more micro nutrients. Especially more protein. Eggs, cottage cheese, chicken, pork steaks and even lean mince are great options. And won't hurt to get in more veggies.

IIFYM is not a reason to eat like a teenager.

And remember that this is a long term thing. Give it 2 or 3 weeks and if you are still not gaining, add bit more calories. You will not see differences from day to day. More on a monthly basis.

 

[APoc184]

I've mention my anterior pelvic tilt here before.

After a month of religiously doing APT stretches and I'm seeing good results along with the cutting diet. Nice flat stomach and tight back getting a lot better.

I basically do the following 3 to 4 times per week.
Bird Dog and Dead Bugs. Alternate them.
Side planks
Standing Hip Flexor Stretches
Third World Squats - I do these every day when I remember and get time at the office.

Hip mobility also feeling a lot better and more natural.
