True warrior. I haven't touched a weight in a week. Get ready for a long sickness if its the same shit I have. It will be two weeks before my lungs are normal again.

I just picked up a mild cold over the weekend from one of my little cousins back home from thanksgiving. I actually feel pretty good, just don’t want to push it too much. I’m a little wiser than i use to be.

Sweet looking firearm! 400 rounds...that’s a great day of shooting. I’ve been very tempted to pick up deer hunting again simply to augment my protein source. 2-3 deer in the freezer will make up a lot of high quality meals!

For sure you wouldn’t have to buy much after that. I’m not a huge venison fan but i love me some summer sausage, deer jerky and even some brats out of it.

Some properly marinated and grilled tenderloins are hard to beat too.

3x10 decline bench, 225

Rotisserie chicken and rice afterward and heading home to put potatoes in the crockpot which has a pot roast in it. Getting famished just thinking about it!

Sick day today,

Apparently I’m not over my cold. So i slept most of the afternoon. My chest is so congested and is killing me. I took a hot shower to help but no dice. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow. Cause I got legs to blast and need to get into ketosis.

Hate to hear this, MS. Hope you’re able to kick it soon. Nothing more exhausting than coughing and hacking from congestion. Get some rest brother!

On the flip side, I’ve dropped some BF in the process.

This shit seems like nothing this your mucus turns on like a faucet and you literally feel like tou are drowning. I lost weight and got extremely pissed because I was doing so good. So I forced myself to do arms tonight. Still gagging. I wish you luck sir, get well.

It’s weird, i felt great yesterday but today was like back to square one. Oh well, I’m cutting anyway so if i lose some fat, i lose some fat lol

[guitarzan]

Dang, maybe I need to get sick...lol

[OdinsOtherSon]

Full body day,

Trying to get caught back up and get my body back into ketosis. I literally haven’t had a carb since Saturday and I’m still barely producing ketones. So i did high rep and exhausted every body part. Long 2 hour workout with cardio and a bit of yoga mixed in. Took a few pics of myself to kinda see where I’m at. Forgive the crappy ness lol.

Looks like your arms are bigger than mine, how dare you ;-)

[cousinmuscles]

Looking big man! Forgot how tall you were lol you must weigh a lot.

Thanks, it was nonexistent until 8 weeks ago. Your tricep advice is paying me huge dividends!

Wait until you see my calf pics I’m taking today, here’s a sneak peek

Looking big man! Forgot how tall you were lol you must weigh a lot.

Thanks, I’m a bit over 6’1” and weighing around 220-224ish In the mornings.

Stomach still hurts but not completely shitting my brains out today. Overall I feel better.

Good deal. Man, I’m not too sure I’d rather have a broken bone than a fked up stomach. I just got over a stomach virus myself within the last month. It’s miserable. Hope you keep feeling better!!

Cardio day,

Went in to do legs tonight and I just couldn’t. My legs were cramping like crazy and i could feel my groin muscle quivering under any type of load. Definitely dehydrated from my stomach bug. BUT I was able to get an hour of cardio in which is probably more important for my goals right now. I’m basically going to cut down until March or April to see if I am anywhere close to being comp ready for classic physique. If my legs aren’t there yet then I might just do physique a time or two just keep in shape.

Just finished back and chest. Could not have done it in a gym. Hack and gag for 60 seconds after every set. You are a trooper. Fuck all this working out sick bs.

[MuscleScience]

Finally in full on Ketosis this morning. I sleep like a damn log like this. I am still very dehydrated and trying to suck down as much water ass possible. Will hit legs later tonight. It’s a perfect day outside so I’m going to spend it outside and with the dog.

[MuscleScience]

Leg Day,

Thrashed a leg day, not much to report. Groin was a little flared up so nothing to heavy but I got a lot of volume in. Everything else felt good, was rehydrated by the time I got to the gym. Focused on drinking water all day. Got some good Calve shots in.

[guitarzan]

Btw, great looking calves

I've been debating the keto diet, tried it earlier this year, didn't stick with it.

I love it man, can eat so much good shit. I made Keto waffles last night and they were great. I’m shredding up quick with this. It’s keeps me hooked.

[guitarzan]

It's probably the right diet for me, considering I'm hypoglycemic. Tje only way I can keep my blood sugar from crashing is to not eat much carbs and sugar

The first 3-4 days are hard but then after your sugar cravings pass it’s pretty easy. At least for me it is. There is enough recipes online for different like foods without carbs. Like protein Keto waffles which are good AF or spaghettis and so on. I have found that my sleep is 100% better. I lay down and sleep through the entire night. Which for me, i never do that. So that’s an added benefit.

I initially went into this to do a cyclical Keto diet but, i think I’m going to just stay strictly Keto and cheat on occasions such as Xmas coming up.

[MuscleScience]

Shoulders,

Just a high rep pump up workout to burn off muscle glycogen.

Got an hour of cardio in. Between a circuit, 30 min stair stepper and 15 min treadmill walk run at 15% incline. Was a pretty descent workout actually. My legs were very sore from yesterday’s workout but feel really good after all the cardio. Starting to get some lines back in my quads. Both on the sweep and front profile. My Hammies are lined nicely, although I never really seem to store fat there. I have my top 4 abs coming in with some obliques and Sarratus. I’ve really started to lean up nicely in the last 4 weeks. Nice to FINALLY see some progress....

[guitarzan]

Ms, do you pretty much eat any fats, or do you try to limit fatty meats and such?

Eat all fats i can, or I won’t get enough calories in or go into ketosis.

[Gallowmere]

I go into ketosis when running RFL for cutting, which has me consuming no fats, other than EFAs from fish oil and trace fats in chicken breast with no rib meat. It’s predicated upon the lack of carbs, not a higher fat intake.

Are you measuring blood levels of ketones? Piss strips measure excess ketones that your body throws away, not what you’re producing and burning.

I measure both blood and urine.

Isn't a smell test enough? ;-)
