possibly, but i have not been hitting it as hard on the weekends

i never think of this cuz all i do is just do it and fight thru the pain

**RaginCajun** · 04-22-2013, 05:26 AM

Just got done swimming for 20 minutes.

Gonna switch up the macros and try to go to a 60/20/20 approach this week.

Still wanting to cycle, source went bonk so don't know if I'll ever get to do one

i sure hope i do. i have some but it is really not enough to do a cycle with. it would basically be a HRT dose for 10 weeks, so still want/need one more bottle.

it is going to be tough cuz i am hungry as it is all the time!

my shoulders are killing me and i am hoping it is not from swimming!

**RaginCajun** · 04-22-2013, 08:17 PM

Went on a a stroll this evening, ran for 25 min, walked for 25 min.

Diet was good today, 54/24/22. I was a little high on cals at 2158.

Think I found another source, so stay tuned......

**RaginCajun** · 04-23-2013, 05:23 AM

Just did 30 min of fasted cardio on the stationary bike, did hills setting.

Nice!

**RaginCajun** · 04-23-2013, 07:22 PM

Did 16 hill sprints in 22 minutes. I felt dead/tired out there this evening. My left knee hurt and it felt like that gorilla was on my back from the first one!

Diet was not as good today as far as macros go, be good for a bulk! 44/34/22. Was high on cals today also at around 2600. My exercises for today should put me at around a net of 2100-2200 cals which is where I am at for maintenance. I am wanting/needing to drop the cals more but I am constantly hungry since I cranked up the training. I am also thinking about carb cycling during the week but need to see how and if it will fit around my training schedule. What do the gurus think?

**RaginCajun** · 04-24-2013, 07:15 AM

well, my left knee is killing me!!!!!!!!!!

it is hurting right where i tore it 12 years ago in the mosh pit! i am hoping it is just some soreness as i pushed hard the past few days

i am going to take today off and let it heal. DAMN!

tomorrow is a swim so i can handle that.

This doesn't sound good! A day off may not be enuff!!

**cantstopkane** · 04-24-2013, 10:41 AM

Yea kill your muscles but protect your joints. Macros look good, what is your meal frequency and timing, whats your bf? And if its below 15 I would suggest carb cycling of you can accuretly keep track

I can't sit still!

My joints suck, all of them!

Nope, sittin at about 17 right now

**RaginCajun** · 04-27-2013, 11:06 AM

Did 17 miles on the mountain bike today, felt good!

**RaginCajun** · 04-28-2013, 05:37 PM

Went on another bike today, didnt feel like running. Rode for an hour

**RaginCajun** · 04-29-2013, 12:33 PM

Did 22 minutes in the pool at lunch today. My muscles felt tired? I felt tired in the pool today and can't figure out why. I know it cannot be a carb related issue cuz I ate plenty yesterday!

I'm thinking about how to throw in carb cycling with my training schedule

**RaginCajun** · 05-01-2013, 08:35 AM

forgot to post yesterday's workout:

did 35 mins on the bike doing hills setting and then did a 3 mile walk/run that evening. my legs tightened up a half mile into it. i think my body was telling me to rest!

i am moving apartments today so i will pro take today off to try and rest, workout speaking.

next week i will be tweaking my workouts some and adding more sprint type workouts in. looks the same as my other training schedule except with the tweaks in it.

diet, needs work. i am trying to figure out where and how to fit carb cycling into my work out schedule and this is my schedule:

Monday: AM- Swim (intervals - sprints)

Tuesday: AM- Bike (i will be using an indoor trainer starting next week) PM- Run (Hill Sprints - then low intensity run/walk)

Wednesday: AM- X-train (Heavy weights - 2 warm up sets, 1 working set to failure) PM- Yoga / Rest

Thursday: AM - Swim (just laps, long swim)

Friday: AM- X-train (Kettlebell/focused on core/lower back) this is one workout i like to switch it up and do a HIIT style workout

Saturday: Long Bike

Sunday: Long Run

And that was on my mountain bike, not my road bike. I am about to up the stakes!

**RaginCajun** · 05-11-2013, 09:38 AM

Been crazy since I last posted

Did a full body workout yesterday and killed it! I am really tight today. Going try to loosen these legs up some with a mtn bike ride. Still need to fix my road bike.

All I need now is some pins and cycle hooooooe!

I will prob go post it up again for critiques but the guys I consulted all had the same input.

**RaginCajun** · 05-11-2013, 11:29 AM

Just did 15 miles on the mtn bike, feel dead right right now.

Time to head by the pool and try to get some sun on my white arse!

**RaginCajun** · 05-12-2013, 10:54 AM

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms that read this!

Just did 5.6 miles running/walking. I think I should have stuck with 3 miles because my left knee and right plantar fascia is hurting. The run took me 70 minutes. I may have done too much in a short span. I killed legs Friday, then bikes 15 yesterday, and didn't sleep good last night. Oh well, time to enjoy the day!

Thanks!

Just got some terrible news!

My dad just called and said my Meme passed out before the crawfish! She only had two beers he said, she is 86. I'm thinking stroke or something since she has a pace maker. Waiting on new news! And this day started out great!

Thanks hunny! They just released her and can't figure out what caused it. I think the beer and missing me did her in, not to mention the crawfish that she loves. Well, all is good for now!

**RaginCajun** · 05-20-2013, 10:16 AM

well folks, cycle commences today!!!

i will be doing Sus 250 @ 500mgs per week for 10 weeks, and have all the other stuff to go along with it.

i will be upping my cals to about 2100 cals and see how that goes for the few weeks and reassess as needed. i may need to eat more cals to grow but hoping to recomp over this course of this cycle.

i will be switching up my routine on mondays to try to grow more while on this cycle, so swimming will only be one day out of the week, and i will now be lifting 3 days a week.

Monday: AM- Delts/chest/rotator cuff

Tuesday: AM- Bike (hill settings on stationary bike, still need to fix my road bike to put on indoor trainer) PM- Run (Hill Sprints - then low intensity run/walk)

Wednesday: AM- X-train (Legs - 2 warm up sets, 1 working set to failure)

Thursday: AM - Swim (long swim followed by rest, then sprints)

Friday: AM- X-train (Back/arms/core)

Saturday: Long Bike

Sunday: Long Run

time to see what i am made of!

**RaginCajun** · 05-21-2013, 05:26 AM

Killed yesterday's workout! Def can feel what I did.

Today, 30 min hills on stationary bike. Sweated like a stuck pig!

**RaginCajun** · 05-21-2013, 06:11 PM

Did 10 hill sprints in 12.30, then jogged and walked for another 45 minutes.

Time to cook deer burgers and broccoli!

**RaginCajun** · 05-22-2013, 07:24 PM

Killed my legs today and they were already hurting from yesterday.

Game on!

**RaginCajun** · 05-23-2013, 07:07 PM

Swam 18 minutes but forgot to count how many laps I did! I'm thinking I did right under a half mile. My legs crapped out before everything else, my hammies were smoked from yesterday's workout.

Diet: mod/low carb day

**RaginCajun** · 05-24-2013, 05:55 PM

Back and bi's done!

All I can say is ouch!

My arms are still shakin

**RaginCajun** · 05-28-2013, 07:14 AM

had a great weekend!

did chest and shoulders yesterday. need to find some exercises machines that don't hurt my shoulders so much.

didn't sleep well for some reason and was hoping to sleep hard

have hill sprints this evening!

**RaginCajun** · 05-28-2013, 08:08 PM

Chose to try to run 3 miles instead of sprinting and it sucked royally! My legs tightened up on me at around the one mike mark. Legs tomorrow morning are going to be tough!!!
