Week 6 - Day 3 45m AM Cardio We will see about this weekend RC, I feel and want to think I am looking leaner but the scale will tell the story Friday

Gaining muscle and losing fat is hard to tell at first so while the scale might say one thing, the mirror could tell another.

Glad to see you are consistent with this log!

Glad to see you are consistent with this log!

For sure but we should also be seeing some consistent drops on the scale as well. Keeping this log is to get help along the way

[Panzerfaust]

Week 6 - Day 4

Inclement weather galore...got out way late but I got out...

Shoulders

Seated DB Side Raises
Seated DB Presses
Seated DB Front raises

Warmed up after those...

One arm DB side raises
DB Side raises
BB Upright rows
Rear Delt Cable Pulls
Leg Raises for lower abs
15m cardio

Was late so only did 15 minutes, will try to go back and do the rest later.

[Panzerfaust]

Week 6 - Day 5

Woke up, pissed and was 257.0 on the dot...so whatever the **** at this point...

Biceps/Triceps/Abs/30m Cardio

After training was 256...

Again, at this point who gives a flying ****...I am going to have a cheat meal tomorrow after Legs. I'll keep training and keep the diet where it is...I guess I should just jump on some drugs..that seems to be the answer to everything these days so **** it..maybe start some Clen

I never liked cardio after training, always split them into two separate times. AM Cardio/PM Training but i'm not a young buck with a shit job and little worries about work, responsibilities so **** doing two a days ever again.

I can see/feel results so that will have to do for now I guess.

[RaginCajun]

don't get discouraged.

i bet you will feel better and look leaner after your cheat day.

and as much as you hate it, two a days might have to happen!

or, you need to extend your cardio, maybe just a walk in the evenings.

looked back through this thread and did not see an estimated bodyfat?

what is the mirror telling you?

are you getting stronger?

[Panzerfaust]

I hear you..this shit isn't easy as is...but the scale is telling me that something isn't right. Not enough cardio I bet...sad but true. I'm going to have a cheat tomorrow....then this next week keep the diet the same yet do an extra 30-45m cardio and see what happens.

Sure, I feel a bit stronger and my shoulders and legs are feeling tighter....for sure I can tell there is a difference between being 25 and 35yrs old...nowhere near the same as it use to be, weight doesn't want to come off and it's a battle.

Thanks RC, I appreciate you stopping by...this board use to have tons of people in and out supporting because positivity and constructive criticism are crucial.

I am discouraged no doubt about it, but let's fight on and see what we can do.

I went twice in the past to get my Test checked, was too lazy to go back for the second trip...they require you go in twice at $50 a pop so I never went back..I know that has been in my head for years. I could have easily ****ed myself up with the two cycles I ran in the past...maybe I will go get it checked.

[Panzerfaust]

Had a good weekend, legs on Saturday of course...had one meal then ran around doing things then ordered up some Pizza. Yeah, it was destroyed and was great! Sunday, again had a meal and ran out for some appointments I had which were half a day so no meals for 6hrs or so...went by a party...had some food there (Persian Food) and two slices of pizza left over later on.

Slow start to the morning for sure but so far so good, feel a bit energized and ready to tackle this week. I am going to double up on cardio this week to see what that brings, diet will remain the same.

Week 8 Day 3

45m AM Cardio

[BulldogMatt]

Hey man!!
Having read through your log gave me that extra tick for motivation! Well done mate!!!
One thing if you don't mind me interfering:

Having seen how much you are training on what amounts of calories I would defo do calipers and skin fold measures, because I believe you are gaining back muscle due to muscle memory. Also what really helped me was optimising the cycles, so I start reverse diet when I reach my BMR. With the amount I train, it is usually 7 weeks only. I also have a break every 12 weeks. Hope this helps, keep it up bro!

[Panzerfaust]

Week 8 Day 4

Shoulders/Cardio

Got to the gym this morning, maybe 10-15 minutes in, got a business call..rushed home...that sucked but I knew that day would come eventually. Alas, here I am going straight back to the gym to finish off, will go back for another PM cardio session tonight as well.

Do you think the cheat meals boosted your metabolism again or is it the extra cardio that did it?

[Panzerfaust]

Week 8 Day 5

Early workout, crazy work schedule so up at 5AM, trained and headed out..no time to update this morning.

Biceps/Triceps/Abs/Cardio

I am tired today..wooo...actually kind of worn down. Did 30m extra cardio last night, I shoot for 40 but it was hitting me hard so it is what it is.

No extra cardio this evening...legs tomorrow

[Panzerfaust]

Do you think the cheat meals boosted your metabolism again or is it the extra cardio that did it?

Probably a little of both, was struggling during week 6, mentally mostly...the cheat just let me take a break so to speak. Went into week 7 feeling good and started added extra cardio. Tomorrow is the end of week 8 and we will see how it goes.

[BulldogMatt]

Cheat meal usually helps stimulate leptin production which in turn mitigate or holds back the down regulation of metabolism.

[Panzerfaust]

Week 8 Day 6

Late entry...woke up and weighed in Saturday at 254.0lbs...so maybe .5 lb lost? It's most likely no accurate but anyway...

Legs/20m Cardio
