Body Beast Day 49/90 End of week 7 (Check in for 1/13)
Water A, drinking it all day
Nutrition Still a little early to tell. Have over 200 calories left to eat to balance out my macros which right now are a little low in fat.
Workout A. Did Bulk arms and Beast abs. Beast abs is pretty easy really, think it is about time to go back to ab ripper X. Arms workout was good. Went up again on weights while keeping good form. Also played 18 holes of golf and shot just 3 over par (75), pretty happy with that.
Watched a good football game and then the Sony Open in Hawaii (golf) All in all a nice relaxing day. Back to work tomorrow, everyone have a good week.0 -
Huge Beast Day 50/90
Water A, never a problem here, all I drink is water, and I drink it all day
Nutrition still have a few hours before bed and 600 calories left to eat, will get macros balanced out before I am done
Workout A- Had to work late today so workout was later than normal by a few hours. Ate dinner first ( I usually don't) Didn't use E&E as it is too close to bed and didn't want it to keep me up. So workout suffered a little. Raised some weights but not like usual. Struggled a bit on the reverse flys progressive set at the end(Sagi would have been yelling at me like he was Scotty!)0 -
Bulk Beast Arms and Cardio. I had a great workout, but too many interruptions.
Water, 12 cups.
Nutrition was within 5% of my goals. Not too shabby, i usually get off on my fat and I finish my protein goal regardless.0 -
I did Legs yesterday and Chest today. I have a training partner for some of the workouts now. My eating has been ok I am still settling into my new place so I have been eating out more than I would like. I did make brown rice, lentils and chicken breast tonight- not the yummiest thing but healthy. I have often said, the first thing I would get after winning the lotto is a healthy chef to make all my meals! lol0

Nutrition and water are going well.
Bulk Shoulders today while home with sick kids. I'm hoping I don't catch this crud! The workout was okay, I got it done but I wasn't really in the right mind set.
I hope everyone is having a great day!0 -
True, it does take certain clear mind to really get into the workout and crush it. Hope those kids get healthy fast.Nutrition and water are going well.

I knocked out Bulk Back and abs today. This is actually an easy workout compared to the others.
Eating is really good today A.
Water is not as much on my mind with colder weather and less sweat but still doing well. A-0 -
Huge Beast Day 52/90
Nutrition A 26/49/25 on a goal of 25/50/25 36 calories from goal, so good day overall
Water A- Had a three hour meeting where I was stuck without much water (one 16 oz bottle) Playing catch-up tonight. Might have an extra trip to bathroom tonight.
Workout A- Bulk Chest; didn't have quite the normal energy but worked hard and kept good form0 -
Huge Beast Day 53/90
Nutrition A++ 25/50/25 and within 30 calories of goal:bigsmile:
Water A+ Drank 14 8 ounce glasses and have another in front of me now
Workout A. Bulk legs: Raised the weights and kept good form. Bulk Legs is a tough one, was shaking by the end.0 -
I did Bulk Arms today. Got a really nice pump in the guns.
Eating is on track A
Water is on track A
Intensity of workout was good A
You just gotta love the pump these workouts give you.

@Shawn, I love that feeling too.
I got Bulk Chest in late last night. I had a great workout and worked in my new 40# dumbells in surprisingly well. I was thinking I would never finish the sets but only failed on the upright rows.
Nutrition, I've got these macros figured out. I hope I can figure out the next set of macros when we change it up.
Water, 17 cups.
Rule #3 is you gotta have fun. I want to be patient with the fat gain, but why be stressed about it when I can cut to where I am happy and do another cycle? So I am going to jump to the Lean Beast calendar for the Beast Phase.0 -
Shawn: Straight A's today, nice! Way to set the bar high.
Jar41: 40 lb dumbbells must have been expensive! I have the adjustable ones so I didn't have to buy them all separately. Saved me some money but when they do progressive sets, sometimes I am a little behind due to switching the weights.

Huge Beast Day 54/90
Water A, drinking it all day.
Nutrition A+ macros right on target at 25/50/25 and within 60 calories of goal.
Workout A Bulk Back. Raised the weights. Trying to really concentrate on the legs. No growth after 30 days on the legs. Hope to change that come day 60 measurements.0 -
I did cardio and abs yesterday. Today will be Bulk Shoulders after work.
Sounds like we have pretty good momentum going right now. The holidays are gone and focus is coming back. Body Beast is done with some traditional body building concepts. You gain first then cut up. It is the FASTEST way to the ideal end result.
Eating is really good A
Water is good A
Cardio is not my favorite but I did it A-0 -
Huge Beast Day 55/90
Water B-, Didn't drink as much as usual and going out to dinner and a club after that. I think there will be a few beers and not water in my future.
Nutrition B so far. Going out for Sushi which we both love and is healthy. Will try and not go overboard with the beer tonight. But since my goal is 3200 calories per day, I have room for a few.
Workout A+ Did Bulk arms. I love this one. Makes my arms feel so pumped and tight! Decided to do Ab Ripper X instead of Beast Abs. Was surprised how easily I breezed through it. I have read that when you are lifting heavy you use your abs allot. Seems like that is true, because I haven't done Ab Ripper X since November and it was not too stressful.0 -
Day 71 / 168
Phase: Huge Beast
Body Part: Legs
Program: B+ I did my own thing today. Every now and then I need to mix it up a bit. I love training legs. I only wish they responded better :-)
Nutrition: B- I missed most of my meals because I worked out and then was on the run. Poor prep, no excuses. Had a good dinner, probably too many carbs for one meal but what's done is done.
Cardio: A+ I love my cardio + weights. It is my peaceful time of the day. Whenever I'm stressed or need to think, I hit the gym. One benefit of living in an apartment building (I can just walk across the street).0 -
A few beers would be good!
Legs and Back for me since last check in, both workouts went great.
Nutrition has been very good.
Water was behind today, but has been very good lately.0 -
Daba, one only has to watch their news feed to know how much you like your cardio. I never felt as though I liked it, but I do miss it. Keep at it! I don't see much for lower body results for myself either.
Arms and Abs today. I wasn't very strong today for some reason, strange for a morning workout.
Nutrition was off, my father in laws 63rd birthday party took most of my day.
Water wasn't great either.
Today was my biweekly measurement day, here are the results
Arm: 1.5" gain from 13 to 14.5". 0.25" the last 2 weeks.
Calf 0.25" gain from 14.25 to 14.5"
neck 1" gain from 14.5 to 15.5"
Chest 4.5" gain from 40 to 44.5". 0.5" the last 2 weeks.
Waist up 2" from 31 to 33". 0.75" in the last 2 weeks
Thigh up 1.5" from 20 to 21.5"
Shoulders up 3.5" from 46 to 49.5". 0.5" the last 2 weeks.
The last two weeks were probably my best water and nutrition efforts to date. I'm still getting results, but they are getting more subtle in the mirror.0 -
dabascom: Nice to see you logging in here, hope in becomes a habit. My legs haven't responded much either, I will keep pushing them though.
Jar41: The beers were good, had too many today though, need to cut back a bit. Really nice improvements in your numbers. I will take mine after day 60 which is coming up this week. Hope to see some nice improvement as you did.

Huge Beast Day 56/90
Nutrition C. Didn't track very closely today.
Water A never and issue for me.
Workout A: Did bulk shoulders. I really like this one. Raised the weights again while keeping good form. Also played golf and shot 75. My increased core strength has me hitting in long and straight. Now just need to putt a little better0 -
Huge Beast Day 57/90
Water A always have plenty
Workout N/A scheduled rest day. Played 18 holes of golf again today, three days in a row. 75,74,78 not bad, Think I am finally remembering how to play.
Nutrition B. Out on the golf course today. Took a protein bar and a banana. Ate lunch before I went so not too bad 25/53/22 A little carb heavy0 -
Jeff, your golf game is on. Look out Tiger!
I did a Leg workout today but not Beast style. I am training with a good friend who is recovering from a knee injury. I did a rehab routine with him to get him back on the ball with his lower body. He was chased by a mean dog and had to jump a fence ASAP which lead to some pain.
Eating was really good today. A
Water intake A
Training D- no Beast in what I did0 -
Helping your friend is the right thing to do.
Bulk Shoulders. It wasn't a very good work out. I had several good ones with the new 40s and I think I over did it. I'm pretty sore and stiff.
Water wasn't too bad, 12 cups.
Nutrition, wasn't very good about 33% all the way around and 400 calories over. I got my calories back on track with Insanity Cardio Plyo.
I'll start Lean Beast Phase tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to the change in workouts. I'm at 184 and have my lean mass calculated at 160, so I've gained 11 pounds of lean mass. I need to drop 8 pounds in four weeks to finish at 10% BF, which is doable.0 -
I restarted BULK phase yesterday and I am adding cardio!
Just completed BULK legs. Going to drink some water and jump right into Insanity before my legs give out!!0 -
c4z101: Nice to see you checking in here, keep it coming
Jar41: I too will soon be on the Lean phase to start the cut. Will take a bit to get macros to 40/30/30
Shawn: You are a good friend to sacrifice your workout for him.

Huge Beast Day 58/60
Water A, Drinking water all day and currently as usual
Nutrition A 25/50/25 and just under on calories
Workout A- Bulk Chest. Was not able to increase weights this time, but I am lifting heavy and with good form. Got home late from work and didn't really feel like working out today. It is a habit now and I just can't skip a workout. When I get home late, it doesn't leave much "me" time after dinner, workout, and shower. Hence the short check-in tonight.0 -
Nice to have a new comer on the board with us. I know the infomercials for Body Beast will soon hit the air it will become much more popular as time goes by.I restarted BULK phase yesterday and I am adding cardio!
Just completed BULK legs. Going to drink some water and jump right into Insanity before my legs give out!!
I did Bulk Back today and ARX. Time to sharpen up my abs.
Eating is really good A
Water is good A
I worked out alone today and intensity was good A
Is anyone thinking about doing it again after this round is up?0 -
C4Z, Insanity and Bulk Legs? Wow, way to bring it! I'm mixing in some Insanity, but not on leg day.
Shawn, I plan on doing a second round but with my HS kids. If I can get one to agree to do it during the soccer season I'll start back March 1, he needs a 20 pound gain in the next year.
Workout: Build Chest and Tris, it was great to have a new routine that I felt in slightly different muscle groups. The weights went up, but I was hurting bad at the end. I added Insanity Cardio Power and Resistance; I'm trying to do the first month of Insanity on top of Beast Phase. So I have an option to finish the second month of Insanity at the end of Body Beast if I don't make the cut.
Water: 12 cups
Nutrition: Not too bad, I added in a workout to buy some calories back so I could get my macros balanced. I ended up 36-32-32. I'm having a hard time getting the Protein needed in the new macros.0 -
Thanks everyone, good to be here
Yeah, I did Insanity immediately because I figured my legs would be out of commission for a couple of days if I didn't. And boy, am I feeling it in my butt today.
Today is Bulk Back. I have moved my bench and weights to my dining room and don't have a door frame so I am going to be running back and forward trying to do my pull ups (trying lol), should be fun.

C4Z, I don't know about notifications I just log every day.
Workout Bulk Legs and Insanity Cardio Recovery, I was over on calories again and needed the extra work.
Water, 12 cups
Nutrition, I was doing well...but the Mrs had warm chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven. My Carbs were still on, but my fat was 3% high.0 -
C4Z: don't believe there is anyway to have you notified on this groups post, as said before, just log here everyday and you can check everything out.
Jar41: A couple of chocolate chip cookies never killed anyone!
Shawn: straight A's nice workout. Yes I am thinking about another round or two after this. Wish work would slow down a bit to give me a little more free time though.

Huge Beast day 59/90
Water A+ 14+ glasses
Nutrition B-. Working lunch today on a major project. Pizza was ordered. Totally messed up my macros and they were unrecoverable by end of day.22/46/32 on a goal of 25/50/25
Workout A: Got home very late and could not get motivated for my workout. Bulk legs was scheduled. I had Laser treatment on my leg for chronic pain today. So decided it wasn't wise to do legs today. Subbed in tomorrow's workout Bulk Back. Weights went up on some stayed the same on some. Kept good form.0
