My Quest to COMPETE - BEAT THE DISEASE!

[JKurz1]

sounds like your doing great bro!! do you have pics from when u started and one from now would love to see the difference sounds like it would be huge!!

my camera phone sux......I have ab shots from yesterday and from last week posted...that's all we really care about anyways, right?? LOL...KIDDING! I was doing great....then my trainer has sort of written me off, so my diet has suffered...lost iniative to finish my meals....I'm down to 165 today, but I did start at 150.....I get up to 170 (which will be wed, u watch) then I panic and fall off.....HOWEVER, i;m getting stronger...is that weird? How can this be? I'm slacking in cals, yet my weights are increasing...I'm still a puss but look at the numbers, they climb weekly....today is a prime example...I paged back to my journal 2 months ago...would you believe I was squatting 95lbs for 12 and 135 for a sheer struggle of 6-7.........mainly because my back and knees couldnt support the weight. I warmed with 95, finished with a struggle of 135 and wrote "GOOD WORKOUT!" here' todays full squat numbers....a FARRRR cry from where I was and where I'm going but just as a reference...

bare bar x 15
135x12
155x10
165x8
175x6
185x3
then back to 135 x 13.......i love it

lunges done with a barbell. worked up to 95lbs (2 25's) for 10....knees are playing a huge role in this, makeing it difficult to keep balance, but I'm working...leg pressx4 and extx4 went well...

I bought some asic wrestling shoes on sale at dicks for $45...I FRICKN LOVE THEM,!!!! Thats why I squatted today like I did....it was da shoes.....diet is still week....bowl of cereal and then 1/2 cup oats with egg whites.........and I'm done....I got about 10 cheats saved up...when or when will I break through?

Another really wierd thing is this....I dont feel well during the day, stomach sucks and its from splenda and orbit gum...packs and packs...but I havent taken one day off in 15 days....how can I continue to get stronger yet overtrain? Or is there really n0 such thing as ot.....maybe thats why my weight is down?

Ive also been scarfing veggies and chicken lean beef around midnight after I take my final lend shake at 9pm.....why am I doing this? is it habit now or am i really hungry??

Jeff, overtraining is a systematic thing that occurs, but there is no "1 way to overtrain"......you can certainly train 15 days on and not overtrain, you can do 1 stupid workout on 1 day and overtrain/overreach.

I feel you're making progress despite being inconsistent with cals because you are NOWHERE near your full potential.....you'll reach a point where you need to eat more cals consistently or you'll suffer.....barring a 1 in a million freak, not too many 6'2" guys can be really strong at 170lbs....so you'll reach a point where you need to eat more/put on more muscle.

If you're hungry, you're hungry, just eat. Veggies and lean beef will do you nothing but good.

You'll hit 170 in a day or two, it is time to leave the 170's for good and never look back......get out of the mirror unless you're wearing an XL t-shirt.

I NEED A COMPANION....you are my inspiration bro even though we train two different ways for two differnt goals....why dont you move in.....force me to compete with you...

As i've learned from my good friend Monster over at AF....

I'd be more worried about underrecovering than overtraining.

Anyway,






I don’t know if you have met the quest and beat the disease,


But I think you have the longest thread I have seen on this board, in five years.
