Pumping Iron with Zemekone and Icehog3 - Page 56

I always drank chocolate milk for acid reflux. Works pretty good actually.

Kept my word and just did cardio today -- even *that* was more intense than it has been in a while. I don't know what's happening to me; but I like it. My body is recovering faster, I've got more drive, and both strength and endurance seem to be increasing. Did somebody slip me something?

light 30 min jog and shoulders..must be tired or becoming a big sissy boy...IDK...

BigFrank · 02-07-2009, 10:43 AM

deload week over. I dont think it helped me mentally, but I feel better physically. I think. Hard to do light work when you workout with guys already stronger than you.

Update, meet in March has been pushed until May. One coming up in April, I will most likely do one or the other, maybe both. Meet in May I am going with a guy I train squats with, he needs a handler at the meet. So April will most likely be time.

Now my dilema is, trying to get into the 220 class without giving up any strength.

02-07-2009, 10:50 AM

Well, just started a new program and its kicking my ass right now. My diet is ~1500 calories per day and at least a gallon of water.

M-F I run twice a week, once before work and once during. The one before work is when I get up and before I eat anything so (in theory at least) I'm burning the stored calories/fat

M-W-F I lift weights, focusing on improving my pull ups

Saturday and Sunday, depending which one is my day off from work I take off, the other one I do a short 20 minute jog/walk.

BigFrank · 02-07-2009, 10:50 AM

damn 1500 calories? careful going that low ya might crash.

02-07-2009, 11:12 AM

Yeah, it sucks and I might crash soon, but I've already dropped about a pound and a half in a week, and thats with me cheating on a couple of those days. At the rate I keep that up I only need to do this for 5 more weeks until I reach my goal and then start working on speed and mass.

Oh, currently
5'8- 184
goal is 170 by mid-April.

Glad you kept to your deload, Frank. I know how hard that is mentally and applaud u 4 it.

GL training for the contest.

Day off for me today -- totally off. I didn't even bring my gym shoes ... wish I would have, though, b/c the friend we're staying with has a treadmill and an elliptical.

Eating donuts and drinking coffee ... I'll be plenty carb'd up for Monday!

BigFrank · 02-07-2009, 05:46 PM

hmmm carbed up that sounds good. ya deload week was boring to say the least.

This week I'm going to start to drop that weight. I dont know, what do you guys think carb cycle or cut calories or just eat more and do more cardio. Problem for me is I hate cardio, if I do it I will walk for 5 minutes or jog for 5 minutes. But then again I love eating. lol

Mugen910 · 02-07-2009, 06:31 PM
