Start- 04/08/02
226lbs
Waist- 38

04/15/02
223lbs
Waist -37

It looks that I am right on track...

I reduced my training this week to 3 days per week so I can add some aerobic training...( spring is here and its great outside!)

Diet has been right on exept maybe on Saturday,,, I had some fried chicken that may have had a bit too many carbs.. also I had Mozzeralla Sticks too.. But itwas one day at one meal...

With this diet I am not bloated at all... lots of energy so far and feel great. I do not really feel deprived at all either..

weight 218lbs
waist 36.5

This sunday I carbed up.. as in t-dawg diet which is basically the same as the crum diet.
Summer is here and weekends are made for tripe to the ice cream parlor and summer stuff like that. But I dont over indulge in junk ... I dont crave carbs at all...do I just have that ice cream or whatever Im in the mood for...

Training is still 3 days per week. Having fun... its POF Compound Aftershock Supersompensation with my twist.

Ive been searching for an old basic RegPark program involving 5X5. But what Im doing now is good too.

Ex.
Bench press 2 X 4-6
superset:
Flies 1 X 5-7
Bench press 1 X 5-7

Cable crossovers 2 X 8-10

I still get the basic heavy lifting, then finish it off with a superset to get more muscles fibres active during the press.
The crossovers are just meant to contract the hell out of the chest muscles...

bodyweight 222
waist 37
This is after my weekend carb up. I still feel leaner and tighter.
I was only supposed to carb up once but I did it for the two days. Calories were still low but carbs were much higher then normal.

My average calories last week was;
Calories 2247
Protein 218g
carbs 62g
Fat 121g

I also only trained 2 times last week and only 1 day of cardio. I just didnt feel like training last week.

This week my goal is to keep doing what Im doing.... maybe try reducing fat just a bit so my calories are lower...

PS How does one measure their waist? If I totally relax it can really stick out. If I stand tall sucked in, obviously it will be many inches smaller. What I do is just stand tall and flex my abs.

I let mine all hang out whenver I measure, and I do it always at the level of my umbilicus. I don't think how you measure is as important as simply being consistent... i.e. measuring the same exact way each time, at the same time of day, etc.

I'm going in to week 2 myself... lost 3lbs and 1/2" so far. Your results are inspiring... keep it up. What are you supplementing with?

 

[MohawkMuscle]

I take 2 multivitamins per day
1 protein shake after workouts.

Sunday after carbing up..

I carbed up yesterday and feel okay...
I dont think my body has changed much. I did make progress untill I stopped my cardio.
I suppose I should jump back on cardio? Or lower calories? Im down to about 2300.

 

[Cuts]

I personally think that more cardio with more food is better than no cardio with less food

05/06/02

Bodyweight: 216
waist: 36.5

I didnt do any cardio last week and I only carbed up for one day. I ate almost 4000 calories!!!!

I am now going to add in some cardio again... 20-30min after workout and in the AM before eating when I not working out. will probably do this everday.

Diet will be the same.... about 2300 calories. protein 200 fat 100 carbs 30-70

Carbs after workout days only.
3 days per week.

Cardio 7 days a week? Sounds like you might be over doing that and might lose some muscle. That's the general concensus around here anyway. I think people just don't like to do cardio

Try 3-4 times a week and see what that does.

 

[MohawkMuscle]

yeah... & is way out there,,,, maybe 3-4 days is what I will do...I will see how I feel.

Just a recap

Just a recap for myself as weel as others you want to know.
I searched for my body fat % according to online fat calculations based on weight and waist. Obviously not 100%accurate but a guideline.


04/04/02
226lbs
38"
fat=18%
lean=185lbs
fat=41

04/15/02
223lbs
37"
fat=16%
lean=189
fat= 37

04/22/02
218lbs
36.5
fat= 16%
lean=183
fat=35

04/29/02
222lbs
37
fat=16%
lean= 185
fat= 37

05/06/02
216
36.5
fat= 16%
lean=181
fat= 35

so according to this.. if it is at all accurate I am losing muscle while doing this diet....
But it could also just be that Im depleted when I jump on the scale...

Im gonna do this one more week and if it seems like Im still losing muscle I will have to do somthing else..

I doubt you're losing muscle - its most definately water and glycogen.

Mohawk, You are not doing the diet correctly.

This isn't a T-dawg diet. Eat MORE protein.

1.5 - 2grams per lb of bodyweight.
