Killin' it on a daily basis

[cyrex]

MUAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[SgtSlaughter]

That'd suck... good idea though!!! I can do that in the comfort of my driveway!... hmmm, going to invest in a jumprope soon!!

it's close... did it from memory.

BMR = 2026
3495 (hard/heavy exercise 6-7 days a week)
3141 (moderate exercise 3-5x/week)

to loose 1lb / week: 2700 calories.
to loose 2lb / week: 2200


Not to shabby... going to start counting to bust through my weight loss plateau.


Legs last night SUCKED... got lightheaded, didn't have enough carbs I guess to lift how I like to.

Lifting and cardio burns a significant amount of calories.

How does everyone factor that into their macros?

And that total, 2948, is after my PWO, meal, and meal before bed.... I lift at night.... need more carbs during the day on heavy lifting days... to train like I do.

Actually looking for input on this one... throw some thoughts over here, anyone.

honestly I think you could drop more carbs to bust through the plataeu. Drop down to like 50 or 60g of carbs/day dietary and add in 2-3 scoops of no-xplode 30-40 min before a workout. That will makeup for the lost energy (i promise)

I tried low carb like that before almost passed out at work... must have something to do with my blood sugar... i'm not fucking around with low carbs again...

Calories in < calories out = weight loss

any thoughts on calorie expenditure while lifting and intake?

I know your type with the low carb/energy issue and I do NOT recommend dropping carbs that low .. MAYBE if you want to incorp a carb rotation to 'shock' the metabolism, I would suggest the lower carb days corresponding to the training days where you're NOT hitting your focus (i.e. Chest...).

If you are hungry, you need to eat. If you are training intensely, your muscles need to eat. Be sure to be drinking water, even sip on a Gatorade during your workout if you don't have a DWO Shake ... I would suggest getting the oatmeal (NOT instant), brown rice, yams/sweet potatoes, etc IN during the day if you feel your energy levels are waning ...

Sorry to jack your thread sweetie, but this morning I burned 1149 cals according to my HR monitor ... (given that cannot possbile figure in the thermos or supps I take) that is ALOT of cals ... and all I've had to far is my pre & PWO shake ... thats only 349 cals in me ... But the kicker is, I use to do this on an empty stomach ... & as you can see, I haven't sacrificed all this muscle mass, and have actually went UP on my lifts and added size! Talk about a mind phuck ... Point being, take the suggestions, try some things out & find what works for you...

You can also add another meal & throw in a little extra cardio for the cals in vs cals out, then more food the better ... & the cals WILL be burned off, muscles fed & you should feel replenished ...

If results are in question, or you're not seeing results as expected, I would FIRST look to the diet, clean up the processed foods, toss the condiments (if there are any) ... I cannot stress how important a clean diet is ... I can do all the cardio in the world, train my ass off, but my skin will look like crap & lack the cuts & defintion AND never see my 6 pack & ab veins without a clean azz diet... /end mini rant (not directed to you, but your log is followed by others and I wanted to make some valid points)

Bundizzle... you ROCK!

yeah, I guess some experimentation is in order I love experimenting on myself... thankfully I have plenty of time before beach weather!!

You KNOW I drink plenty of H20! On average it's about 1.5 gallons a day, for the record

Awesome points.... *golf clap*
