cutting journal

[jeremys]

this is it. it's going to happen. i've stalled and whined and made excuses. i've tried to change priorities. i've made probably 5-6 other 'training journals' but this has to happen. 25% bodyfat is just fackin unacceptable, no matter what i choose to do.

split for now will be whatever i have to do in gym class for a couple weeks. all i know is that it consists of benching and squatting 2x a week.

diet will be CKD. i started with a half-week so i'm going to wait until this weekend for my 12-24 hour carb-up. i'm looking very flat and very small due to being depleted. so i vow to myself not to sit and try to pose every morning and night, lol. hopefully the changes will seem quicker.

workouts will be whatever i can handle, but i can't try to build any mass or strength while being depleted and having under 20g carbs a day. so they will just be depletion/volume workouts with light weight.

for rehab for my back, i stretch 3 times a day and i plan on doing some excercises 3-4 times a week. things such as lying pelvic thrusts, light good mornings, and band pull-throughs.

..off to do bi's and chest right now. figured i'd add them in this week on their own day since they're somewhat weak points and i could use a little pump action. also a snow day today, so i need something to do

2-3 chest and bi's

DB curls: 20x15, 25x12, 35x8
incline bench: 135x12, 145x10, 150x8

off to suck down some more canola oil and cook some more kielbasa. eck

YOu can do it bro!

I'm in the process of dropping some lbs right now too...
Can't wait to see what you look like once your done dropping the bodyfat!

 

[jeremys]

i'll try to get and post pics when im done, but for now, i'm a work in progress.

i'm very paranoid about losing good mass though...and it'll be hard with gym class (EXCESSIVE cardio). ANYBODY have any ideas? i've asked about this a couple times but maybe all i can do is half-ass as much as i can?

I know you were about to give HST a try awhile ago. I'd say reconsider it. The light work won't aggravate your back. Plus HST, past the point of being good for retaining mass while dieting, actually has most people seeing LBM GAINS while dieting.

it seems like a good idea, but on a CKD, my muscular glycogen levels are totally depleted. i have no energy, and it's almost impossible to retain muscle, since a person eats under 20 grams of carbs a day under this.

please, somebody prove me wrong. lol

i dont think you will loose much muscle, you will look flat but you wont loose much muscle at your age. your what 15 or 16? dont sweat it

i went on diets before where i would eat only about 180-200 grams of protien with no carbs and no fats and got ripped and didnt loose hardly any muscle at all.

as u get older then you would probably tend to loose more muscle on severe diets


if your having trouble with the ckd why dont you try a different approach like moderate carbs and very low fat like 100-120 carbs and 15 fats and 170 protiens

good luck
