lol sneaky sneakyHiDnGoD said:1 day, high carbs
1 day high fat
Everyday, I tried to ensure protein was maximized, but I did not count calories, or macros. Guesstimates on macros only. I'm sure calories where high 4 out of 5 days. I gained 4 pounds, but I'm sure some of that is "campers bowels".I'll see by tomorrow..
Sunday's results. Brought to you by the letters P & R & the numbers 2, 3, & 5
2068 cal, 46g fat for 19.8%, 218g Protein for 42.26%, 196g Carbs for 38%
Meal 1Weetabix 20g
1% Cottage Cheese, 186g
Skim White Milk 205g
Can of V8 355 ml
Meal 2
Meal 3Crispy Chicken Breast 127g
ANPB, 2 Tbsp
Liquid Honey 1 Tbsp
Meal 4
Meal 5Rump Roast 223g
Roasted Potatos 69g
Roasted Carrots 39g
Pickled Beets 68g
Skim Milk 500ml
Meal 6, or snacksSkim Milk 600ml
Whey Protein Powder 30g
Pre & Post WO Shake, & Supps2 Scoops Creatine Ethyl Ester, Tricreatine Malate Formula
Glucose readings mmol/L:
17:20 6.8 Before supper
Hipass felt good most of the day. Felt it a little bit later on, because of working around the house, running up & down stairs.
Flat Bench: 10X115, 10X175, 3X235, 11X155 failed on 4th of max. Had to get the wife to unload the bar for me, I could not get it up.
B.B Curls: 15X35, 12X55, 7X75, 11X60 Cheat on last of max
Skull Krushers: 15X35, 12X55, 6X70, 9X55 Failed on 10th of 4th set
Incline Flyes:10X20, 10X30, 6X40, 12X30 Cheated on last rep of max.
Alternate D.B. Curls:12X25, 8X35, 11X30
I had thought I had benched over 250 before, but I looked back through all my records & the highest I ever got was 230. So, even though I didn't get what I consider the requisite number of reps in for a benchmark lift, it was the most I've ever benched. Next time.
I'm pissed! I simply cannot get my chest & arms to gain strength. Gonna have to seek out some professional advice. I'll ask, down at the gym

Yeah, it was a great break, but it's good to be back into a routine again.
You had a busy weekend, eh?
It didn't, we watched a 9/11 show instead
but at the same time I think it was good for us to watch it. Keep us posted on what the gym says??? Yup it is good to be back on routine!

Gaining strength on a diet can be done.. but I wouldn't say "expected" to be done by all.
Keep the rep range a lot lower and use heavier weight if you're aiming for strength gains.

This is a nice detailed log, you have a great base to build on too...I can add some input if it's alright with you.......I don't claim to be a diet guru, and I do know one of your goals is some weight loss, but you're a pretty big dude and you look like you're carrying quite a bit of muscle, you may want to consider upping the cals closer to the 3000 range as 2000-2500 isn't condusive to supporting muscle in most cases for a guy your size......if you're concerned with strength in the bench (or any other lift), you need much more volume (not more exercises), but more workload on that lift.
You went 115x10, 175x10, 235x3, 155x11.....the only set worth anything was the one at 235.....something more along these lines would be better for strength.....bar x a bunch to get in a groove, 135x5, 185x5, 205x5, 225 x 3 sets of 3 (add 5 lbs to what you do 3x3 with every week), then do 1 backoff set of 8-12 in the 165 range and bump it up after you hit 12 reps with it.
Skullcrushers won't do jack shit for the bench, more functional things are dips and rack lockouts.....also, the incline flyes don't do much either, they have the reputation as a 'shaper' but you can't shape muscle, you can only develop it and then manipulate it's appearance by gaining/losing bodyfat....If I were you, I'd bag them in favor of incline dumbell presses, and lose the skullcrushers in favor of dips if you want a bigger bench.
Anyway, I hope that was helpful, if not, feel free to ignore, lol.....but I caught this journal the other day and I did want to subscribe and follow along anyway.
