I love the passion and your attitude !Subbed! Reading this is temping me to start a journal too
As far as myfitnesspal or any of those apps really, it's best to input your own info for foods. A lot of the time what's already been submitted is not accurate. It's easy, all I input for a specific food is overall cals, protein, fat, carbs and sometimes sugar. And if you're like me and eat pretty much the same thing all the time it won't be too annoying.

aw, thanks! so kind of you. hope you are doing well today, russssstill lol
@ CML0915 ...hello! thanks for stopping in. yes yes, start a journal. we will visit it.
it keeps you accountable in an odd way. i will try the fitnesspal, or i'll list my food here and a nice nice person will do it for me, maybe haha
@ idobehigh...hey! hope you are well, boy. your avatar ...what on earth? you're so weird.
No gym tonight, mondays and wednesdays are endurance cardio days...so, i went for a ride. Ugh. I wanted to go 20 miles. Apparently, my body had other ideas. lol I got to 12 miles, and felt nauseous. My fault, though. At work...I ate oatmeal before leaving. And drank three scoops in water, aminO energy. Then, when I arrived home...before the ride...I downed a chocolate protein shake with PB2 in it.
Doesn't that sound awful? haha What was I thinking? I wanted enough sustenance to get me through the 20 miles. I jumped on the bike, and felt ok for a bit, then I got to 12 miles...and was like....
hahaI'm fine now. It was what I ate.
But...not a bad clip for what I did:
Distance: 12.09 miles
Time: 42:34 minutes
Hey...anyone watching tour de france?
that's a ton of pedaling!!
Oh, before I forget ...food for the day. I hope I remember everything.
Breakfast, listed above.
Mid morning snack, 25 almonds
Lunch: Small chef salad, lite italian dressing
Mid afternoon snack: kashi cereal, one packet, just water added
Pre ride: 3 scoops amino energy/grape
Pre ride: 1 scoop syntha protein powder, chocolate/2 scoops pb2
Dinner: 2 hb eggs, and 1 bowl of oatmeal (this was about 2 hours after the ride, I wasn't too hungry)
Thanks for stopping in and sharing my day with me.
I told her just to give her a heads up, it CAN be inaccurate, which could make or break her caloric goal for the day.
Also, make sure you weigh everything on a digital scale, often times the serving size on the package is not really what it is when you weigh it out. Usually breads, bagels, cereals, pastas are off.
What is your ultimate goal Wegs?
Hello
I do use a digital scale. Coolest invention ever! Lol
Love it. You simply can't eye ball portions.
My goal is two fold. To continue building lean muscle but frankly, I want to gain strength.
Specific goals are:
Deadlift: 225 or better by December 1st
Squats: 135 by same date
Bench: 125 by same date
Or sooner would be nirvana
The challenge is not gaining weight but finding yourself hungrier as one lifts heavier. Hmmm...thoughts to that?
If you look back in my log here...you'll see I gotta work around an old neck injury.
So that's why I had to set new strength goals.
So u start a journal yet? Hmmmm?
Tonight is shoulders and triceps. Going to do power cleans and military press again. Power cleans are cool but hard!
See u all later. Thx for your thoughts and advice.
Oh here is my food so far for today ...
2scoops amino energy upon waking
Two eggs, coffee and turkey sausage patties
No morning snack.
Lunch will be a chicken flat bread wrap with veggies.
*i only drink water all day with meals and without. Don't like tea and soda
I do drink coffee in the morning.
And I have stopped alcohol for the past 6 weeks.
I never drank much but on the weekends...with friends...started becoming a habit and it would mess with my workouts.
Feeling better since I stopped!
On another note...I don't dont calf raises. Between bike and running, they get enough. Lol they are the sorest muscle of my whole body today.

No journal yet, I'm so busy right now, working 6 days a week. I'd love to but feel I won't be too good at keeping it updated right now.
Love your strength goals. Squat and Deads have always been easy for me to move up on but I've been stuck at 120 bench for like 3 months. I too have an injury so benching flat (Deads are out of the question right now too) hurts. I've mostly been doing incline DB's. Do you plan on doing any power lifting competitions? What about any bikini/figure comps?
So basically you want to do a recomp? Kinda sorta? I know when I'm cutting or just trying to maintain I save most of my calories for the later half of my day, I tend to be hungrier at night, so I'll eat 2-3 bigger meals with maybe a snack or two. It helps with hunger and over eating. I can't do the 5-6 mini meal crap, they just leave me never feeling full and satisfied.
hello
hope you had a good dayhey 120 bench i'd take right now. lol that's very strong.
regarding bikini, etc. i went to an ifbb show in tampa two years ago. and that is just not me. my hat's off to anyone who does it. but my boobs are small. lol i am small. taller women seemed to win. lol and psychologically, it's just not me. i'm kinda shy in some ways.
i think i might want to do a meet.
yep. a deadlifting or bench meet, once i can get bench where i want. that would take effort with the bench. but the deadlift is my strongest lift...we'll see what happens, right? Okay...tonight...shoulders and triceps!
Had a killer workout. I'm so happy. Did power cleans again, without weight. Just to get the form down. This guy came up to me and told me that I was doing them 'pretty good,' and he smiled. That made me happy to hear.
Then, did military presses using the smith machine. I like that actually. Tonight, I did them standing, and they're a great workout. I would have done the bar free standing, but it was being used for bench. I belong to a small gym, only one bar available for all lifts. lol
In order I did everything:
Military Press/standing/smith machine:
1x12x65
1x8x75
1x8x75
1x12x65
Supersetted the above with front lateral raises. Fun, but tiring!
Front lateral raises:
2x12x12's/alternating arms
1x12x15's/alternating arms
1x12x12's/alternating arms
Power cleans/just bar << love this, but it's hard
4 sets of 10, using empty bar
*i will try adding weight next time, this was only my second time doing power cleans
Side lateral raises:
2x12x10's
2x7x12's << improving, this is a weak exercise for me, but have learned that it's weak for many
CGBP:
2x10x60
2x10x65
OH DB Press:
2x12x30 (2 15's)
2x8x40 (2 20's)
*did these seated, and my shoulders were spent!
Tricep seated machine:
*cool machine where you press down, like a dip
2x15x60
1x15x70
1x10x90 << ouch
Abs:
2 sets of 20 torso twists with cable/17.5 lbs
each side
NO CARDIO. I needed a break. Tomorrow, going to do cardio even though it should be an off day, thinking of switching sat with friday for my recovery day. I need one.
Too tired to list all my food. It wasn't much today. I think I still felt bad from yesterday, that bike ride.
Thanks for following and be well, friends.
