I figure I don't need as much protein if I am not working out I know I still need protein but I figure to cut it down (usually I do about 1.75 g protein per lb of body weight while training, I figure to cut it down to about 1g or so per lb of bodyweight for my week off?) Glutamine is generally for recovery, I figure I am…

thanks for the pep talk but I guess what I am wondering is there any disadvantage? Like usually I do deadlifts, weighted pullups & chin-ups, rows, stiff arm pull downs, and good mornings So I'll probably do deadlifts and pullups & chin-ups at lunch then rows, stiff arm pull downs and good mronings after work I guess one of…

Ok but I guess the thing I don't get is I hear all these lifters talk about taking a week or 2 off once or twice a year and than they come back even stronger......for me I think this would be similar except I didn't take a break and it seems I come back weaker also when I do take a real break for 4 or 5 days I come back…

any other ideas?

anyone?

So how do you know if an entry in here is ref raw or cooked food?

or he's just a weirdo, they have those on the interwebz too :wink:

But it sounds like Damon didn't take any days off, and hit it hard for 4 hrs a day.....sounds like that would be overtraining to me?

never heard of a troll?

I'll hit this a little differently than the other posters...... well here's the first thing I will say to try to cheer you up you have not GAINED any weight (at least you didn't say you did) I would consider that a victory since before you started this 3 weeks ago you were probably gaining every week (in slow increments,…

I am afraid to eat in front of people too.....but that's due to my table manners and not anything else :ohwell:

well where else would you put it? basically I wanted some motivation of things I can eat when I am out and trying to enjoy myself....because that's been my problem.....every beer I drink I feel guilty, every chciken wing I eat I feel guilty......so trying to finds some different ideas so I can actually enjoy myself…

thanks for the info

Shake weights are very good for you Also I just helped out a nigerian prince and soon I will have a million dollars!

This week I ran 4 miles Monday & worked back, 8 miles Tuesday & did chest, Weds totally off (everything), today- ran 9 miles and plan to work legs later today (I have a weekend trip planned), tomorrow I plan to run 5 miles (no weights), Saturday- totally off, Sunday just weights (chest) The prior week I ran 6.4 miles…

Ellais, thanks for the reply My goal is to do the half marathon in 1hr 45 minutes to an 1 hr 50 mins or so today I ran 9 miles at a 8:16 mile pace (some hills too)

I have a smaller frame (5 foot 6--140lbs) than most. so even when I am over weight my "paunch" is not as noticeable to others unless I am wearing tight clothes....so people I assume my wieght is good even though I have quite a bit of a muffin top....so I get some of what the OP is saying sometimes I just want to pull my…

aesthetics are my goals right now to Chris and grant....I do notice my back routine is not as energized as it could be and I attribute that to doing bis the day prior (I realize back works bi's too......so I been thinking to maybe have Monday be a rest day and do back on Tues I will look at the other programs you all…

The tracking thing works farely well too

so pretty much anything other than a salad and I am screwed?
