Starting Over

you noticed any changes in strength or health? on the article it says the upper safe side is around 10,000 IUs so I might go big on dosing.

I got the honor of working out with the strongest guy in my town. He used to do amateur shows and powerlifting meets back in his younger days, but now he just goes "light"

I started out with some squats, and we went pretty easy with those
135 x 5
225 x 5
225 x 5
225 x 5
225 x 5
225 x 5

then deadlift was next and these are his favorite. The guy was doing WARM UPS with 545 pounds deficit deads.

Deficits
225 x 10
225 x 10
225 x 10
275 x 5 ; 1 minute static hold
315 x 3 ; 1 minute static hold

Conventional (aiming for 30 reps)
225 x 24
275 x 10

now i feel dead. i'm about to go eat a ton of meat and potatoes. toodles.

buddy of mine just signed up at the Y and wanted me to go with him this morning, so I did. i knew this mofo never would work legs, so i bit the pillow and struggled through extreme hammy soreness to show him the ropes.

front squats
135 x 8
185 x 5
205 x 5
215 x 5
225 x 3

leg press

135 x 10
175 x 8
195 x 6
205 x 5


then we played some ball. all in all, i was pretty tired after, but the ymca sucks ass. too many damn weekend warriors.

diet so far
1:2 eggs, cheese, mayo, 8 pieces bacon
2:carton of premade egg salad, cup of broccoli and carrots
3: protein shake with olive oil

sitting right at around 1860 and i need to get up to about 4200, so i got a lot of damn eating to do.

I'm switching over to the 6 days per week which is basically a back and forth of back, chest, biceps, and calves alternated with delts, thighs, triceps, and abs.

here are my exercise plans for the first two days

Monday

4: beef protein isolate and olive oil

right now at about 2500 calories and still 2000 or so to go.

why what's goin on?

You dont really wanna be a bodybuilder do you?  Just think about their lifestyle and what it will be like before you take that seriously.

He posted his "Keto Bulk Diet" the 26th in his log,
I know it's not a conventional method of using Keto but certain things work for certain people i guess.

I have been doing keto almost non stop now for about 3 months, but here recently I am going for more carbs for better recovery. BBB is extremely demanding, and I will probably switch back over to keto after the 18 weeks.

as for the body builder lifestyle - college really isn't working out, and i can't decide what I want to do, and i'm failing classes. if i tried to go pro, or at least got half way there i think i could make a basic living doing what i love.

lol, i did think about like what it would be like to go into public and be that big. i dont like a lot of attention from EVERYONE like most bodybuilders get. i like female attention and thats about it.

idk dudes.

did i mention my quads are still destroyed so deadlifting was a ****today? ah well. til tomorrow.

Pretty good lifts for only three hours of sleep. If I sleep three hours and try to do bench presses the next day and I lie down on the bench to perform sets I have the sudden urge to just fall asleep under the bar, it's an awkward feeling.

you may have picked up bbing for female attention or w/e reason but realize that pro bodybuilding you're doing it for yourself and no one else.  You're not gonna get laid for being a bber, you have to love bodybuilding in general and have a huge passion for it.  Id imagine itd be hard to make a living in bodybuilding alone, very hard.

well im not gonna lie, when i first started, it was for the girls. when i kept trying to just stay lean around 170, it was for the girls. now my mind set has changed. i want to be the biggest, strongest, and best looking for myself. i want to be an elite human being. i think this program is getting me there.

i know you're the type that once you're over 10% bf, its gross. i used to be like this, but now the fat phobia is kinda gone just as long as i get big and strong fast.

losing fat is easy, getting strong is the hard part.

You've been doing it for a while - When do you start to get your energy back on CKD?
 
I've been doing it for a few weeks now but with getting up at 3 am starting work at 6 and working out in the evenings and I'm absolutely ****ed. I'm shooting up around 1000mgs of caffeine a day but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

I'd say around week two. It took me actually 3 different cycles of doing the diet before my body got adjusted, but now that I am adjusted, keto is a walk in the park.

I know how you feel, I felt the same for a while. Tough it out though mate. I'm able to get into ketosis now in less than 24 hours, and my body is tolerant of carbs now.

I knocked out a 3 course meal at Olive Garden last night, and went for ice cream all while finishing the day at 100% speed and having productive sex. Used to, I would just want to sleep and couldn't think of any females, haha.

P,
   I've been browsing your journal to no avail:  What are your recent tape measurements?  How do you look compared to those pics at the beginning of the journal?

Good workin' out!  :)

I havent taken measurements yet. I don't want to until about 3 weeks from now. I know I'm getting closer to 17" arms every day though because I can't resist but to measure those.

Awesome!  I've got 16s, and dream of 17s!
 
Was Olive Garden and ice cream w/Hooters babe?  ;)

Lol, no it was with my woman, lmfao.

Hooters babe is out of town right now. [;

Do you cheat a bit on the carb up day then? I'm only carbing up for around 15 hours but that day is like the best day ever.

''If one is after quick results one never learns an art.''

Erich Fromm

I cheat like a motherfugger until I get down to about 10% body fat. Once I hit that, I don't cheat anymore to be able to get to around 7-8%. This summer, I'm going for 5%.
