Oh yea, lol..
So I start dabbling in programming a new workout for my lifting partner and I. While we both loved PHAT, it was a bit more time consuming than we both liked (leg days were 75 to 90 minutes) .
LOL- I think you were the one who suggested culking last time actually LOL- it's okay- you have baby things_ I forgive you.
I hear you on the long leg days- Sheiko usually takes me 2 hrs to roll through- if not longer- and while I love it- it's VERY time consuming. I need to figure out a power program that sets me up for success for a February meet- I'm doing a bastardized five by five program- but I prefer something concrete that I'm not winging.0 -

Oh my! I love the pose and outfit!
I did not plan on bulking...I am 5 pounds heavier though! This is after dropping all holiday weight and getting a consistent scale reading for a several days. I have been pretty lax with my calories the last few months - not logging most weekends and going out to eat a lot. My clothes are not as tight as they should be for the weight I am so hopefully that indicates that some of the gain is muscle.
I was 109 pounds back in October and am 114 today. I am starting a slow cut now. My body fat was a little high to be bulking at 109 so I am not sure how much I will need to cut.0 -
Starting bulking again today. Lost the temporary Christmas fluff. Going to do a slow bulk with the hope of gaining in or around 10kg/22lbs over the course of a year.1
-
I tried on a different pair of pants today- and saw a picture of myself at my gig- I'm disappointed- I'm much bigger than I think I am. So- I am doubling down on my efforts to stop being so god damn fat.
Please don't try to placate me with "your not that fat" - that's not the point. I'm pretty comfortable with myself- but if I can't fit in my clothes- and I'm unhappy with the way I look- AND I'm not getting any stronger- there is no win here- so doubling down to try to get below 160 again. So much for any hope of bulking any time soon.
We could call it Christmas fluff- I've just not been lifting like I used to (less structured program- more bro lifting- and no long term training.) and I think it's taken it's toll on my body and my food hasn't matched it as well. So womp womp. More work to do.
My back is wonky- and I'm headed into a weekly long training program- so nothing changes training wise until I get back. So we shall see. Bad back issues make the February competition a little rough for me. So I'm concerned.6 -
Started my cut mid December right at 240 - avoided the "Christmas Fluff" monster and weighed in this morning at 227.2
A lot of that is most likely water weight as I've prioritized protein and it's a struggle to have much left over for fat and carbs. I'm cutting at 2250 - which seems aggressive to me considering what I was bulking at - but I suspect a drastic slowdown soon. All calculators put me below that number for 1-1.5 pounds a week, however If I'm still losing too fast in a couple of weeks I'll adjust. The only loss in the weight room so far has been a slight decrease in bench numbers, although I have cut volume down from 4 sets on most lifts to 3.1 -
Down about 5 lbs from the post xmas/new years christmas fluff (183 down to 178). Ended up developing a custom program that suits the time needs and goals of my friend and I. Figured I post it in here to see if there was any feedback on it. The only thing I will probably do is incorporate some supersets so I can add a bit more volume. Below should be a shareable link

Managed to maintain my weight during my 2 week diet break over Xmas and now back in a deficit. 6 weeks with a goal of 10lbs to lose and then a week diet break.
Is it weird that it feels good to be back in a deficit? Or am I mad from carb deprivation??1 -

Pretty sure you are mad.
But I feel the same way.2 -
So my dance intensive is over- we averaged 6-8 miles on someone's fit bit- it's 35 hours of training- I'm guessing it's probably a little less because it's based on arm swings- and if you're dancing and doing weird arm patterns it's probably going to read high- but I ate mostly conservatively but enough to fuel me- if you're testing- running out of gas isn't good.
Back on track and officially in process. I'm going to physical therapy for my back issues and to correct fundamental underlying issues with me back/abs- which will translate into the lifting/dance stuff. so- more cardio- more lifting- headed into functioning full time training. WOOT WOOT3 -

I don't know yet. I definitely want to!1 -
Sooo...I guess I should be glad that my bulk got off to a fizzled start...woke up this morning retaining a boatload of water and ended up weighing in at 131.6 (a mere .4 lbs shy of bumping up yet another weight class) I was hoping to be able to eat a couple pounds of food before the drive over, but had to starve a bit longer.
The meet went well, now I can focus on food, muscle building, and my new 6month training goals.

Finally slowed down - 20 pounds lost since Christmas on a 2250 calorie cut. 50%P 30%F 20%C which works out to around 220-250g protein, 60-80g fat, and about 100g carbs. Been at 220.2 for the last 3 days. Amazing how much initial water weight you can lose. Feel flat, but I no longer have a gut.
Lifts haven't suffered - actually increased a couple a bit and have returned to normal volume on Monday and Friday. Reduced volume mid week.4 -
@JoRocka - I saw your constantly varied gear leggings on Insta. Did they fit? Do you like them?0

so short story- I"d give them a solid 7 on the "legging scale" (ranging 1 to 10- one being awful- 10 being magical)quiksylver296 wrote: »@JoRocka - I saw your constantly varied gear leggings on Insta. Did they fit? Do you like them?
The waist band isn't *quite* as nice as the GRRRL ones. But they are higher than most- and no muffin top. So catch 22- I Think they didn't have the stay UP power- because they weren't as snug- but flip side- they were slimming between pant and shirt- no pudge.
That particular pair- the pattern is PRINTED on the fabric- which means the inside- is white. So when you stretch them- the pattern/fabric looks "off" (almost like it's getting sheer but it's just more white looking).
Their sizing is bonkers- It had me in an XL- and they just fit. so that's crappy.
I deadlifted- and danced in them very successfully with minimal fuss. They have that weird slick feel to them- so less cotton content.
so yeah- 7 of 10- enough bendy to squat/DL in them- not really see through- but they get that "white" look to them- and their sizing is wackadoo.
But- solid pant for 35$

Just curious. I'd agree with most of those points. I have two printed pair and one solid pair.0 -

I felt a little like a cheater on GRRRL- LOL- and I don't love them enough to probably order more- for 10$ more- I get pants I really love and a brand I believe in- so probably not- but they ARE amazing prints- so I guess it will depend on the print?1 -

Once you get a good pair- you'll "need" more than you thought you did before- Suddenly I find myself shopping before 7 AM on my phone pre-coffee.
it's embarrassing.1 -
Note to self for the future: trim off body hair before freaking out, thinking you’re getting fat on a bulk. 170.8 this morning, from the 163.4 I started at in September.

I fulked once; never again. If I go over the 0.2-0.5 lbs./week range, I just get unacceptably fat. Recent bloodwork has shown exactly why this is, and I’m taking steps to remedy the problems.0
