WEEK 2 - 2/25-3/3

STATS: 258 lbs 12.4%bf

MONDAY

Diet: Typical off day diet except my cheat meal for dinner. Had a big juicy burger with cheese and bacon piled on top from a local restaurant. I did get a whole wheat bun though so i dont feel too bad about it. Plus tomorrow is big back day. Totals without the cheat meal: 1075 cals, 7g carbs, 25g fats, 180g pro

Training: Zero

Gear: 12.5mcg T3, 80mcg Clen

Notes: Nothing special

TUESDAY

Diet: Added 24g more carbs in today at breakfast, 44 more at lunch, and my usual 135 for the rest of the day. Totals: 2580 cals, 200g carbs, 40g fat, 325g pro

Training: Back and bi's tonight. Got 15 sets for back and sets for bi's. Stepped up the cardio to 20 mins tonight. Felt good for entire workout. Think i need to include some drop sets or something into my back routine

Gear: 12.5mcg T3, 100mcg Clen, 50mg Prop, 300mg Blend

Notes: Been looking foreword all day to lifting tonight. High level focus type shit

WEDNESDAY

Diet: Woke up late today so i didnt have time to make breakfast. Ate a breakfast sandwich at work. It was actually less calories than my normal breakfast and still about half the protein. I know its still frozen but i had to improvise. Totals: 2325 cals, 160g carbs, 40g fats, 320g pro

Training: 23sets of shoulders. Did 2 sets of 25 reps shoulder presses at the tail end of the workout just to change things up - crucial. 20 mins of cardio

Gear: 12.5mcg T3, 100mcg clen, 12.5mg aro

Notes: Little tired today. Appetite was out of control around lunch time. Slight increase in strength from last shoulder workout. No doubt the test is working. Not in full swing yet buts deffinately working. Im recovering from workouts quicker and like i said, strength is slowly going up. Cant wait to start the var in 4 more weeks

THURSDAY

Diet: Solid day at the table. Felt full all day. 2220 cals, 130g carbs, 45g fats, 300g pro

Training: Thank God for off days. Im tired. Did 20 mins of cardio and thats it

Gear: 12.5mcg T3, 120mcg clen

I think im going to try a new routine this weekin an effort to lower time spent in the gym. Im going to switch over to my 1 body part/day routine:

Monday: off
Tuesday: chest
Wednesday: back
Thursday: legs
Friday: off
Saturday: arms
Sunday: shoulders

I have been feeling rushed through my workouts so that i can get cardio started by a certain time at night. By switching to this new routine, i will be able to hit that one muscle group quickly and focus more time towards cardio.

[Nature101 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Nature101]

I like focusing on one group at a time as well. Works out great on days you go twice. Ive been hitting one muscle group in the morning and a different one at night.

[ALEX.18 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close ALEX.18]

Man i wish i had time to do it like that. Some people gotta work though... Haha jk natty

[ALEX.18 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close ALEX.18]

I dont think i mentioned anywhere that all my cardio is done on the stair master except fasted cardio. Fasted is just taking the dogs for a walk...

[Nature101 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Nature101]

Personally, ive always been a fan of the stationary bike. Crank up the resistance and it turns into a killer leg workout. I always under estimate the bike.

[ALEX.18 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close ALEX.18]

I like the stationary to get my heart rate up before an early morning workout right after i get up and havent had a chance to move around alot. I just dont feel like i get a good cardiovascular shock on it like i do on the stair master. Just personal preference

The wife works at a place that has a gym, they just got some new ellipticals and we ended up buying 2 of the used ones from them, we payed $400 for two Precor EFX 546Self Powered . Damn things are 2-3k each, so this was a nice addition to the home gym.

[ALEX.18 Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close ALEX.18]

I would like to put a stair master in my garage for some intense fasted cardio first thing in the am. Might start looking into that
