jGriff's Journal: Get After It!
I'm back from jamaica, and now its go time. Still on the fat loss track til I get down somewhere I'm comfortable with. I'm going to be going for as much fat loss as possible by my birthday which is Jun 7th. Not too much time but 6 weeks will be a good check point. I also want to increase my strength from here on out and maintain my chest and bicep measurements.
I'm going to be starting a carb cycling diet as soon as I get a chance to sit down and plan the days out, perhaps after work and the gym tonight, unfortunetly I work from 7 AM - 6 PM every day this week and next 
Anyhow, this is what a cycle will look like:
Chest/Triceps: High Carb
Back/Biceps: Low Carb
Cardio: No Carb
Legs: High Carb
Shoulders/Traps: Low Carb
Cardio: No Carb
I'll be posting my body weight, and diet everyday as soon as I get my diet straightened, so within the next couple of days. Today is Chest and Triceps, my first workout in an entire week! Lookin' forward to it, wish me luck...

Just read a new post from my Carb cycling thread that suggested not doing cardio right now as fat burning should be very good without it. So thats what I'll do for now and I'll see how this goes. |

Thanks for the support kungfu and cursor. I'll definitely be taking pictures to see my progression over the time here. Just figured out what my diet will look like. I'll post a sample of the diet so that you can see it for now. Tommorow I'll be starting in on the low carb day if I can get to the grocery store tonight.
High Carb Day
Meal 1:
6 egg whites
Dry fiber one
50-100 cals of Orange
12 grams fat in form of Flax seed caps
Meal 2:
Tuna
Salad
50-100 cal Apple
Meal 3
2-3 slices Whole Wheat Bread
Natural Peanut Butter
Meal 4 (Pre-workout)
Chicken (white meat)
Corn
Broccoli
50-100 cal Apple
Meal 5 (Post-Workout)
Whey Protein Shake (skim milk)
100 cal Apple
Corn
Salad
Meal 6
Egg Whites
Low Carb Day
Meal 1
6 Egg Whites
50-100 cal Orange
Fiber One cereal
12 grams fat in form of Flax seed caps
Meal 2
Tuna
Broccoli
Meal 3
Chicken (white meat)
50-100 cal Apple
Meal 4 (Pre-Workout)
Tuna
Corn
Broccoli
12 grams fat in form of Flax seed caps
Meal 5 (Post Workout)
Whey Protein Shake (skim milk)
Corn
Salad
50-100 cal Apple
Meal 6
6 Egg Whites
No Carb Day
Meal 1
6 Egg Whites
12 grams fat in form of Flax seed caps
Meal 2
Tuna
Broccoli
Meal 3
Whey Protein Shake (water)
Meal 4 (Pre-Workout)
Chicken (white meat)
Salad
12 grams fat in form of Flax seed caps
Meal 5(Post-Workout)
Whey Protein Shake (water)
Broccoli
Meal 6

Green veggies must be had in 3 meals a day on all of the days here including no carb days. Fruit must be had in 4 meals on high carb days and 3 times on low carb days. Carbs must be had pre and post workout on high and low carb days. All protein sources are interchangeable among meals. As are all carb sources from the approved lists. It should be easy to change the meals as I go along.

Thanks kungfu, I think I am too. Definitely stay on me. And yes keto, twin peaks it is.
Chest and Triceps today:
Flat Bench:
135 x 10
185 x 10
245 x 4
265 x 1
280 x 1 Miss
275 x 1 Miss
Decent sets here, felt strong on the 280 just couldnt lock it out, I'm sure if i did it before the 245 and 265 I could get it, I should try it next time.
Incline DB:
80 x 8
90 x 4
95 x 3
Close Grip Bench
135 x 10
185 x 7
195 x 5
Incline DB Flys:
40 x 8
55 x 8
70 x 4
Really tried to extend my rom on the 70's and I just couldnt get anymore out, felt real good though.
V-Bar Pushdowns:
Drop Set
200 x 13
160 x 7
120 x 6
80 x 8
Overall my workout wasnt too bad today. Would have liked to get 245 x 5 and have hit 280, so I cant say it was a GREAT workout, but I had a great pump going in my forearms, triceps and chest which was nice, felt strong doing everything.
Got to go grocery shopping today, so tommorow the diet is in full effect. I'm going out to see Man on Fire tonight which I'm pretty pumped for so all in all its been a good day. |
