Kabeetz: Cut Up or Shut Up [OFFICIAL LOG]

Hell yeah you work out......sissy.....if it was a leg or delt muscle, I'd say rest it......get your ass in the gym and suck it up......any bodypart that won't do more harm than good training if injured should be trained....i.e. torn pec, don't do chest until it heals, etc....


And yes, whole food only......your body burns cals digesting.....remember that......I dont even take a pw shake anymore...24 hour nutrition.
 
i was going to say go in and do what you can... but your behind studying. I'd bump the workout a day. do it tomorrow.

Great job on the diet bro... like a machine :evil:
 
JK: If I can't stand straight on on the foot I can't squat and possibly can't do rows... Believe me toe injuries are no joke I never realized how bad it was. Anyway I'm going to go in and do what I got to do, have no fear. If it doesn't work on certain exercises or weights I'll deal with it as it happens.

Sarge: I gotta lift tonight it's calling me, that snow kept me away yesterday... you know the feeling. Otherwise tomorrow i'll feel like a slob all day. As for the diet, thanks. I'm nearing the final lap so whatever the final result, I want it to be optimal. No looking back and having regrets because I didn't eat clean enough or ate too much.

I would keep icing like you are.. maybe take some ibuprofen or something of the sort.. and be careful on seated calf raises... If it's broke and trying to heal your going to make it worse a lot longer. Ask SBT. It can also compromise your form.

INJURY

Killed me all day, better than the day before though, by my workout at 9:45 it didn't hurt at all. VERY FORTUNATE

WORKOUT

5 minute cardio warmup
Static stretching
Bar complex

Squat
95z5 118x5 140x5 163x5 185x3 :rolleyes:

Bench
83x5 104x5 125x5 146x5 167x5

GP Rows
79x5 99x5 119x5 139x5 159x5 !PR!

Hypers
45x8x2

Weighted Declines
10x8x4

Shoulder Rehab
Wave/Praise motion - 8lb x 12

Alphabet Motion - 8lb x A-L

Shoulder blade contractions w/ heavy band - 20

NOTES: Overall it was an extremely positive, exhausting workout.

Squats - I am really confused as to why my numbers are maintaining or improving on everything else, but my Squat is out of wack. I'm sure I'll figure it out I can't stress it.

Bench - I've been maintaining at 167x5 because my shoulder was hurting at 171x5 and as I did the 5th rep I was like wow this is easy and my spotter even said you had a couple more in you man.... So it's definitely time to see if I can squeeze more forward progress out and get to 171 or above.

Rows - Those last couple reps were tough... greuling... I love it.

Shoulder stuff - shoulder felt pretty good, slight twinge on the bench, did some rehab and iced it for 20 minutes post workout.

DIET

7:45 a.m.

2 servings Optimum Whey Vanilla
1 serving ANPB
.5 cup Quaker oats

10:45 a.m.

2 servings extra lean ground turkey
6.5 ounces sweet potato

1:45 p.m.
2 servings extra lean ground turkey
6.5 ounces sweet potato

4:30 p.m.
1.25 servings extra lean ground turkey

1 serving almonds

9:15 p.m. (pre-workout)
.25 cup Quaker Oats

11:45 p.m.
2 servings Optimum Whey Vanilla
.5 cup Quaker oats
1 serving mixed berries
1/2 serving cellmass

TOTALS: 2421 calories 48% protein/29% carbs/23% fat

NOTES: Real food I love it!! I feel like I am plateauing with the fat loss, despite me being on an E/C/A stack the last 10 days or so I can't seem to get south of 200 on the scale... Might cut calories to 2200-2250 a day. Don't really want to play with cals but I am pretty much doing all the physical activity my schedule will allow and the tape measure isn't tightening last week or two. Then again might just be water fluctuation who knows. I am adding AIFM into the mix shortly.

TODAY'S GOALS: Major calculus studying and some HIIT tonight.

TRE: Thanks so much for checking in! I can't believe how much it hurt two days ago and then disappeared during my midterm yesterday. I will ice it tonight, cardio might definitely re-aggravate it. The funny thing is I was leaving class the other night limping really badly, but somehow keeping pace with this other guy. And then I realized he was limping and probably had some kind of prosthetic foot cuz it was crooked. And he looked back like I was making fun of him every few steps. I was like nah man it hurts, not trying to be cruel. :worried:
 
your gp rows are improving....looking real nice. as far as your squats go....hmmm. your progresing on those as well as your other lifts no?

At the end of my fall bulk my maxes were squat 201x3, bench 171x5, row was 155x3 or 151x5, dead was like 240 and change, military was 125x3...

30 pounds lighter, bodyweight wise... my row is stronger, my deads are stronger, my bench is about the same, my military is about the same... and my squat I deloaded and then went back to attack 201, got up to 196x3, couldn't hit 196x5, now now it's like freefalling to the point of I can't hit 185x5.

Yet my back is getting stronger so I'm really confused because my back feels like its the weak point when I get in the hole.

Kinda frustrating and hard to pin point. I'm hoping its just a matter of calories?

I wanna hit a 225 squat on my next bulk or else.
 
your prob weaker b/c of your cutting your cals. most people get weaker...and 30 lbs is alot of strength to give up! i would be happy that most of your lifts have gone up or stayed the same. i don't think you'll truely know until next time you go on a bulk and your heavier....if your squats don;t go up then i would say you need to re-evaluate your diet and routine
 
02.28.07

WORKOUT


33 minutes HIIT cardio (including 4 minute warm-up/3 minute cool down)
3.7 low/8.0 high 385 calories burned

NOTES: I keep getting better and better at the cardio every time out! Went for 7.7 on a 1.5 minute interval..felt good, and decided to go for 8.0 for a two minute high intensity interval to close it out from 28:00-30:00. I've really been enjoying cardio lately.

TOMORROW'S GOAL: Pass calculus mid-term, hit a deadlift PR, discomfort-free military pressing!

Also tomorrow: I will take some progress photos for my personal collection, and update stats. Next time I will do this will be 3/15 and last day of the cut, Easter weekend 4/7.

Could try different cardio. Maybe elyptical or bike both which you really don't have to pound on the feet.
Keep up rehab stuff it'll get better in time.

DIET

9:00 a.m.
2 servings ON Whey

TOTALS: 2220 calories 43% protein/20% carbs/37% fat

NOTES: Big gap between eating early in the day, took a half day to study calculus.. figured since I was on an empty stomach might as well get my cardio out of the way instead of just eat, by the time I changed and got to the gym and back became a real big gap. Did some cooking for today.

TODAY'S GOAL: Need miracle to pass calculus. And again, Deadlift PR and pain-free military pressing.
 
TRE & CK: I'm telling you it was pathetic, sad and hilarious all at once:) Good times.

Another really thing that I've been meaning to log about is that I've been a smoker for the better part of a decade. At one point I was up to 4 packs a day but the last year I've been down to like 3/4ths a pack a day. Since I started really focusing on weight training in the fall, and since I've kicked it up into high gear in the winter, without much effort, my cravings have all but disappeared.

In the last month I had two cigarettes when I went out on one Saturday night and that's it. My body hasn't even given me the urge to want one, it's been pretty unbelievable. I wasn't even trying to quit. the habit has just been replaced by constant feedings and working out.

Being healthy rules.
 
wow bro...awesome job on quitting!!! when i was younger i used to smoke and it totally killed alot of my wokouts...didn't have enough wind to do anything more then 8 reps and when i was lifting heavy after 2 reps i was winded. stay away from them at all costs...if you have the urge eat something!

Thanks man... it's been nice. I gotta make this a permanent change. Smoking sucks.

NOTES: Squats continue to feel weak. I would've LOVED to hit the 125x5 and it was SOOO CLOSE, but it didn't happen. The deads 255 kicked some serious ass though. Playaaaaaaaaaaa. Stretched chest throughout workout, iced shoulder afterwards... rehab still going great.


DIET

Grazed on 22.17 ounces of extra lean ground beef all day spaced out over five intervals... 8:30 a.m, 11:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m, 8:00 p.m.

Row
80x5 100x5 120x5 140x5 160x3 !PR! 120x8

NOTES: Did two things. A) Reset my squat real low to build back up with the new Starting Strength form (the overhand form, keeping that wrist/forearm straight... takes some getting used to). Better than missing all my 5 attempts..gotta get the confidence back up..so I'm scaling back to attack. B) I forgot my chains so no microloading. That means I had to row 160 instead of 163..but that's OK... 159 was extremely hard and if I can nail 160x5 this week..I'll be a lot more prepared to hit 164 the next.

you got any progress pics???
Click to expand...

You will definitely get some progress pics right before Easter, as that's my B'Day and the official last day of this cut, I PROMISE!

I was planning on also asking a few of u guys who've been following along whether I should continue cutting, clean bulk, or re-set my metabolism for a couple weeks and then continue cutting.

Progress has been awesome, but it seems like I'm never as far along as I want to be exactly. I think my metabolism is starting to slow because even with this E/C/A stack and increased cardio and longer workouts... getting down into the 190's has been harder than I could've anticipated.
 
well, it all depends on what your goals are. you wanna cut up to like 8% bf??? 10%??? i say once you hit your bf goal then i would do a mini clean bulk for about 6 weeks and then cut again trying to get to that bf goal again but this time with a little added muscle

I was fat all my teens and thankfully I lost all that weight and discovered healthy living and eating but I just never managed to lose that chest fat and the spare tire.. love handles/lower back/gut... I don't want to be shredded per say but I want to lose that. And it's getting there but its got a ways to go.

Ultimately, I want mass and size..I love lifting and I want to lift big... but I feel like if I dont lose those things now it's only gonna get tougher as my metabolism slows with age. I am definitely confused as to the next step to take after April. Hopefully you guys can take a look at my progress pics and give me some good advice. Majority will rule!

WORKOUT

PRE-WORKOUT NOTE: For the first time in years, I experienced tremendous left side/lower back (to the left of tailbone) soreness... almost like an out of control pump. bothered me throughout stretching and body weight and bar squats. I knew I had to proceed with caution and made sure I followed strict form on all lifts and took my time between sets. I felt NO in-set pain once I started..no discomfort in the hole, pressing or even mid-row... I'm pretty happy about that. Iced it afterwards and I just hope very much it was a one time thing. Onto the workout...

5 minutes cardio warmup (48 cals)

86x5 108x5 129x5 151x5 170x5

Row
81x5 102x5 122x5 142x5 160x5 !PR!

NOTES: I'm glad I reset the squat to accomodate my new stance and grip, looking forward to getting the numbers back up there. Bench is going great. Row is going great, form was a little sloppy on that last set.

Sorry about the accident :rose:
Did u hit divider before your work-out?!?! I don't see anything here in the log that issues back pain...
Do you do a piriformis stretch? Could be heavy squats, and the running creating an overly tight piriformis muscle. Then the back rows.... possibly spasming out your erector.

I was hoping you'd get to my log today!:)

I hit the divider this morning (no physical effects thankfully), workout was last night.... I didnt work out monday, did cardio Sunday, and back started bothering me tuesday night, 9pm, right before I went to the gym. Haven't felt this pain before, haven't felt it since.

I thought maybe it was deads, but those were done last on Thursday, rows/squats last on Saturday...

Any link or info about this infamous piriformis stretch you speak so highly of? :qt:
 
I'm over at my sister's house.. they have an old cherokee they were willing to let me borrow with no heat ac or radio and a dead battery and no inspection but its too cold and the battery wouldnt stay.. I hope things will work out in the morning.....

They only have bow tie pasta, tomato sauce and every kids junk food imaginable... damn.

Initial estimate of damage is 5k plus... every time u start to get ahead ya know?

I'm kinda depressed :( I know tomorrow is a new day though.

I CANT MISS CALCULUS OR THE GYM TOMORROW NIGHT. I need things to work out just right for this to happen PLEASE MAN UPSTAIRS IF U EXIST AND ARE LISTENING :)

In other news... no urge for a cigarette. :supercool
 
sorry about the accident, but keep your head up! I used to drive a car with no heat, take a credit card with you to swipe the window inside when it gets cold.

NO missing the gym or calculus :velvett: You will feel better if you go! :heart:
 
best wishes with the adjuster/insurance man... it's no fun. been there.

You're in one piece and still posting so that's all that matters :supercool:

Good to see a Row PR!
 
JKurz, JPT, CK, Sarge: Your encouragement means a lot thanks SO MUCH!

Trying to satisfy nutritional needs in a non-lifter lifestyle environment is friggin' tough... there's a fresh box of krispy kremes on the counter geez!!!!

Appointment for inspection is at 1... hopefully can get the car there.. and I'm gonna make the insurance claim right now. Can't wait to get to work and back to my own place and back to routine.

Thanks again bros.

Here are 2 more. I prefer the one on the back.

One thing I've learned and has stuck.............there is much more to life...........why we put ourselves through this pain and torture for an hour+ a day is sick sick sick........but I love it!
 
TRE: Muchos gracias! Seems like that will translate into an improved squat as well, especially down in the hole.

Bunny: WHATUP BUNZ!

03.08.07

WORKOUT

PRE-WORKOUT NOTE: My shoulder and back were killing me all evening... I felt like an old, beat up man walking into the gym. Plus I hadn't eaten enough cals or the right cals all day.. I was so low on energy and so close to not going.

5 minutes cardio warmup (48 cals)
Stretching
Bar Complex

Light Squats
86x5 108x5 135x5 135x5

Military
78x5 94x5 109x5 124x3 (fail)

Deads
163x5 196x5 229x5 261x5 !PR!

NOTES: I thought if I microloaded the weights down one pound on the military I could hit the 124 instead of the 125 which I came so close to last week, but I couldn't gut it out. The 109 was tough as all f, I knew it then. Can't believe i hit the 261x5 on the deads though... extremely proud of myself. After that I felt like I was run over by a truck, I got out of there. I hope I can do some core work and shoulder rehab tonight.

OTHER NOTES: 41 on the calculus test. HAHA. Gotta step my game up there. I got 100 on one midterm, 97 on another and 41 on calculus rofl. Diet was crap yesterday... a scrambled egg, hashbrown, bacon, salsa on whole wheat wrap.. two krispy kremes, some rice, some granola pre-workout and a good post workout shake afterwards. Not a lot of cals, certainly not at the right macros. Regardless, back on track today.. slept in my own bed finally last night, cooked some chicken this morning, took my vitamins with breakfast, etc..... I am getting back on track and EXTREMELY happy about that.

ZGZAZ: Thanks for checking in bro. I am cutting until my birthday, April 8th. At that point I will ask everyone for their opinions about where to go from there.

Basically I found when I bulked, even clean, that so much of the weight I put on was fat, and thats probably because I had a 20% bf to start. So I'm just trying to get to a weight where I can be healthy and lean and then build like crazy on top of that. Probably it'll look something like 12% bf @ 175 lbs. Long term I just want to get big and strong.

Sarge: Thanks bro. Right now I'm riding around in my Ford Focus rental. Good times:) Krispy Kremes are a curse placed upon man, I believe that lol. Anyways, time to get my ass to the gym!!
 
bro... above all else, do NOT ask for opinions on where YOU should go from wherever you are... on the internet... you'll get every which extreme.

... just that's just my opinion on getting opinions, lol.

starting a lean bulk at 12% seems like a great idea... when the fat gets too much, mini cutt... then back to lean bulking if that's your perogative.

I think that's what i may end up trying... but i usually don't realize i'm fat until i get the mini double chin peeking :lmao: .... pics for progress are a MUST for me... then i realize.

Sweeeeeet, pimp that focus bro... throw some dice up in it for now :fro:

Great point. I'm just not really sure though.. my body is at a crossroads. I am weaker than I want to be, and fatter than I want to be... maybe there is no wrong answer as long as I pick one and see it through.
 
making small goals with your ultimate goal in mind is what it's about.

If we don't have those smaller goals and feel some since of achievement for all the hard work it'd be 10 years before we were big and lean.

You'll be where you want to be some day... just gotta pick a path that works for you.

Row
80x5 100x5 120x5 140x5 163x1 120x5

NOTES: Started tinkering with my rows midway through, as per thread in weightlifting forum, threw me off a little... not a big deal will get back on track on Tuesday. Looking forward to hitting a good 5rm in the bench on Monday and redevelopment of my squat has been worth the effort of deloading the lift.

DIET

Diet was perfect throughout the day, not in the mood to post details...hit a snag at about 1:30 a.m. when I had two taco bell soft tacos late at night. DAMAGE COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE, but, I think I jinxed myself either way :)

nice work, great PR!

Any reason you don't have alot of veggies in your diet?

Cutting and for health reasons they're most important (I don't get enough in most of the time either, speaking of which i just ran out of green beans, lol).

Just wanted to point it out incase it was an oversight :)
 
Im so proud and happy for you Kab. You have done AWESOME! I cant wait for the progress pics... I m sure they are outstanding!

Sarge: No you're right. there are bags and bags of various stir fries and medleys in my freezer... I've been slacking. Thanks for reminding me to rededicate myself to getting them in starting when i get home tonight.

NOTES: Fitday isn't working right now and its pissing me off!!!! BUT... I had about 18-1900 cals including post workout, and then went out to dinner for my name day which is kind of a big deal for Greeks and I wasnt gonna eat anything and then my gf gave me this sad look and was like please eat normal and being the eager cheater that I am I completely fell for it :) Small victory though i did not FINISH anything and that is a small victory for me. I had a 1/3 frozen margarita some guacamole with corn tortilla chips and 1 out of 2 carne asada steak soft tacos, and I had all the beans and some of the rice on the side. These things happen can't lose sleep over it :)

OK I will pm you some pics late tonight or early tomorrow, I promise. I have completely eliminated cheat days and any cheat meals have been riddled with guilt. LOL. I went out on Friday night had a taco and some guacamole, had half a beer above budget Saturday night. That has really been about it Bunny. I'm in the zone right now, all I can think about is making those pics that I am gonna post as good as possible.

NOTES: I had a really rough day from a stress standpoint... I am not a stressed out kind of person, but 2007 has really thrown a couple financial type zingers at me, especially with the car accident the other week, and it's hard to keep it from affecting your mood altogether. I am hoping that accounted for some poor 5rm lifts, but it might just be my cutting catching up to me. I left the gym with my endorphins raised, feeling great. That's all that matters. Good workout.

Last rep on the deads had a clear break from leg movement to back movement, almost kind of good morningish… and that’s one exercise I can’t afford a form breakdown on.

Thanks Al... I can't wait to hit the miminum strength respectability #'s one of these days, believe me. the second half of 2007 is going to be a major bulk/strength gain phase for me, I am seriously looking forward to it.

I bet - cutting is not that great for adding weight tot he bar - plus your leverages suffer IMO.

No it's not... I just try to remind myself that maintaining and making small gains at a significantly lower weight is equivalent to "on the bar" progress at a higher weight. Kind of. What do u mean by leverages?

Stalled Tuesday night going for the 5rp on bench and row so I repeated last week's triples and am going to hopefully hit 'em for 5 this Tuesday. Not sure if I should go for the 180x5. I'll probably use the power rack and go for it. Gotta get my ass up to at least 225, for real.

TOTALS: 2110 cals 36% protein/22% carbs/41% fat

NOTES: Made the best of the situation by factoring in that cheesecake slice I shouldn’t have had, kept the caloric intake right at my 2100 daily target.

Nice job on the cardio

Meal 1 & 3, bother me that they are only carbs though... why?

The granola is actually somewhat well rounded on the macros.. One of those situations where I was running really f'n late, put my shirt and tie on and looked at the kitchen and it was the only thing I could grab as I'd already been up over an hour. Definitely not a typical Kabeetz first choice...

And the oatmeal is because the oatmeal was in the microwave when I got an emergency call to go take care of some court related business... downed it and bounced.

Don't worry Bunny, a carb only meal is not par for the course...
As long as it's not a a high calorie carb/fat combo..I don't stress it too much.
 
I do like your training I do also think your diet could be much mch better......tis all.........keeep up what works!
