Voy's Fat Eff You See Kay Log

[CJ]

big win on the protein today! Highest ever. Yay. 11g over on fat from where papa Jin wanted me from his note yesterday, but still down from yesterday. I’m still not happy about the total calorie count, but after all, work in progress.

Don't beat yourself up, I've found it really tedious, almost impossible actually, to hit specific numbers during the day. And that doesn't even take into account the inaccuracies of food labels, or food content.

I found it much easier to just get "pretty close' on a daily level, and focus more on the weekly numbers.

aloha


training

10 min stationary bike w/resistance
seated rows 2x15 + 8x10
tricep rope 4x10
lat pulldowns 6x10
standing arm curls 4x10
dumbbell deadlifts with squats 2x10
5 min rower

Question - when doing the rope pulls I felt something like... a nerve or tendon pull at the bottom of my right tricep into my elbow. Felt a little like what it is when you get carpal tunnel - caused a brief moment of numbness in my outer fingers. Maybe too much stress on the muscle?


diet

This is the closest I’ve made it to the advice given here to-date! Taking that as a big victory.

calories 2,336
carbs 158g 27%
fat 97g <-under 100! 37%
protein 207g <- above 200! 36%


drugs

ECA Stack x1 (24/200/81)
T3 50mg
frag 1000mcg
genevatropin 4iu


and obviously I look just like gibs right now! Done. Jk.

hooray

 

[CJ]

No idea on the tricep, but keep an eye on it. If it keeps happening, shelve that exercise for a while.

Keep up the good work! I do legs tmrw.

thanks buddy! I hear your post in my head every leg day now when you asked why I didn’t do any compound work on that one leg day recently... thanks for the motivation!

 

[CohibaRobusto]

How's your recovery from leg day? That has been a real struggle for me to hit the sweet spot on. It seems like there is a really fine line for me between not doing enough and doing too much where I can't walk for 3 days.

I get real into it sometimes and overdo things.

same. I’m usually too afraid and go too light or too hard and overdo it. For the last two weeks though I’ve seemed to hit a good groove where I have just a twinge of DOMS the next leg day but can still put the workout in. I’ve found that once I start to feel it getting uncomfortably tight after finishing a set means it’s time to start another type of movement... and that’s kept me in the good-sore-but-not-incapable-of-walking-sore the next day.

does that make sense?

 

[CohibaRobusto]

Yep. It's been a struggle for me, and I've talked to both trainers I use about it. Finally one day someone told me it's because my legs are undertrained, and I think that's the problem. I don't skip leg day or anything; I think it's just because I'm still new to this.

Are those macros your goal? Are you still having trouble eating?

Well - Jin said to get fat under 100 and protein over 200. So that’s been the goal. And I think successful based on that! Trouble eating - not so much. Think I have it figured out how to get there now.

do you have another opinion?

No I don't. I was just curious. I think everyone struggles to eat enough at first. It seems like such a chore, but then you get used to it. Good job dude.

i appreciate it and yeah. It’s a balance of keeping the calories down though because I’m still trying to get in fat - so it’s making sure that the macros are right in a colorize-restricted environment. Trying man!

I remember those days. 2012 was when I had a trainer the first time... I was 6'2" and 170lbs soaking wet. My first horizontal bench was... so sad. Had to remove ALL the plates off and I could barely push up the bar on its own. 15 minutes into the session I had to go home because I felt like I was hyperventilating... went home and went right to sleep. was sore for days. was like that for quite a while.

I think your trainers are right... sort of the training-equivalent of virgin muscle pip. It used to scare me from ever going again --- before I took on the trainer and HAD to keep going --- I would start working out in some way or another and would be sore for days... stop for months, try again, same effect. I never worked through the initial suck of it.

If you stick with it, you'll get there. I never believed ANYONE when they said "it will get easier." There will always be soreness but it won't be what you're feeling now. Give yourself at least one session a week for a month and see how you feel.

Oh I do legs once every 5-6 days the past year. It is better for sure now. Still overtrain sometimes though.
