Schredder's cycle log............

[bigben66]

My training partners are a set of headphones, turned up so loud that when Joe Blow starts talking, all i see are his lips moving. Lol, everyone gets me now at the gym, catch me before or after workout, don't waste your time during

I'm with you on this buzz.... I exchange pleasantries as I walk through the gym, pat some backs and slap some skin, but once the gym bag goes down, and the tunes go on... it's business time, even now, with one fucking arm!

I love to help people in the gym, and people know me well enough by now to wait 'til my workout is over before asking for advice or help with something.

Yes, if someone is on a machine or a bench, and they don't mind me working in with them, or vice versa, I'll take the tunes out to spot them and encourage them and converse between sets... but other than that, this is my time.

I've been let down too many times by weak willed partners who don't show up, or spend too much time chatting to train properly.

I reckon I've only had one training partner in 25 years who cut the mustard. A mad irishman who had a pain fetish. I haven't got a clue what happened to him, he just didn't show one day, never seen him since. Probably in the can knowing him! He was an animal though lol

I'd be more worried about your hearing than anything else, blasting music that loud is surely detrimental to your auditory functions?

Yes!! I hear that. Im the same way, tunes so loud my ears are ringin afterward lol. Only a select few people get the the headphones taken out and a VERY quick chat.

Man ive been lostening to headphone at max for ad long as I can remember and I just had a audio test done, most coumns wete 0 and 5 one was 10. Thats an amazing result and most people dont get that good. So volume to 11!!



Of course everyone is different and one guy could possibly blow his drums doing this.

Went to do shoulders last night. I realised why I dont train at night on a weekday. What a ZOO, bout 100 people in there, could hardly find a spot to do anything. And it was like a god damn social event, young kids with ISL (invisible lat syndrome) and girls looking like they were at a dance club with so much makeup on you could scrape half it off and patch a hole in the road with it. People get on my nerves sometimes.

ANYWAYS, me and my gf got it done though, 45 mins and out the door

HS shoulder press warmup3x8 100 w/ dropset on last set
BB front raises 3x8 50
DB side laterals 3x8 30 w/dropset on last set
High rope pulls 3x8 100
Reverse pec deck 3x8 70
DB shrugs 3x8 105

Every thing was done slow and controlled, very little rest and shoulder were pumped like crazy. Todays a rest day then in tomorrow for back and bis.

So as im doing my own diet here a peek at what Schredder does. This is pretty standard but protein sources get swapped out as well as carbs at any time I feel like it. I dont sit there and force feed myself I eat what I am in the mood for.

Immediately upon wakening BCAAs and then coffee

Meal 1: 2 whole eggs, 1cup whites. 1cups oats 250ml juice 250ml water, ice cubes, 1 banana and 1 scoop isolate all blended up together w/ creatine.

Meal 2: 7oz ground sirloin 85g whole wheat pasta (spaghetti)

PWO shake 60g isolate+ 2 pieces cinnamon raisin toast.

Meal 3: 7oz chicken breast 10oz yam

Meal 4: 7oz tuna 85 white pasta (made into soup)

Meal 5: 1.5 cups cottage cheese with PB and chocolate chips ( sometimes this will be a shake with PB)

Meal 6: during the night, protein bar or shake (sometimes ill eat cereal too)

This is a rough idea of what I do, I nibble on stuff between meal, maybe some sweets or nuts. I have cheat meals every couple of days. And if im sick of something I have been eating I dont eat it I eat something else.

And I dont force feed, if im not feeling that hungry I eat less if my appetite is up I eat more. Sometimes I eat fast digesting carbs in place of slow of visa versa it really all about what im in the mood for at the time.

Brother this puts you at roughly 3500 cals?

Brother this puts you at roughly 3500 cals?

Bro id have to actually calculate it lol as I havent counted macros in a while. Im just eating man enjoying my food and throwing some snacks between meals and stuff like that, some cheats and whatnot. I find I achieve the same result if I just eat and not get nerotic about the whole process as far as every little macro and I also feel much healthier and better in general

 

[Southernfish]

I had cals higher than that at one point and the only difference I noticed was I was extremely bloated all day and felt like shit. I didnt gain any more muscle (or fat, I actually have la very hard time gaining fat as my metabolism is stupid fast) I just felt like a baloon all day and couldnt have nice easy bowel movements ever.

I'm thinking that's what I'm doing now. Eating more then my body really can handle. I'm not adding fat or really weight, but there doesn't seem to be a difference in 3500 cals or 4500 for me. (As of now). I tend to just be full ALL day. I've consumed more chicken in past year then a Tyson plant produces. Lol... I love experimenting. Not getting in a rut of thinking I HAVE to do this or that to have gains. Great log bro. Keep it going.

Thanks Buzz I appreciate that

Ya man, like I would sit down to eat and just stare at my food. I didnt even want to eat it and when I did itd be have a few mouthfuls chew it up drink water and swallow it that way. Didnt make any sense to me to be doing that. Id feel like garbage after I ate as well so I though to myself if I feel like this im clearly eating TOO much ya know.

 

[Southernfish]

Brother this puts you at roughly 3500 cals?

So ya I did a rough estimate and its roughly 3500 with the few extra things I have on top of that. Cheat days will probably get up near 4500 if im downing a large pizza or some burgers.

 

[Southernfish]

Rest day today my friends. Tomorrow its arms with a buddy. Theres something to be said about a training partner who, when you agree on 2pm, shows up a 1:55. Thats solid shit right there.
