My Quest to COMPETE - BEAT THE DISEASE!

[BiggT]

Jeff, I'll post mine, lol.....this is give or take and just a 'sample'...not suggesting you follow it, it probably looks like what you ate in your 255 days at the Berg. You know this, but for anybody else interested, I'm 6' and 255 and that's me in the avatar, and I have pics in the gallery in my profile....I need to keep myself fed, if I want to just 'eat like a normal person' I usually can shed 30lbs in the blink of an eye, lol.....some days are more junked up, but overall, this is basically how I'd say I eat

Breakfast : 4 egg omlette (whole eggs) with ham and mozerella/4 slices of ww toast/a serving of oatmeal/1 quart of skim milk

Snack: 50g whey w/ c 2 cups skim milk and a lot of ANPB

Lunch: A turkey sub , foot long with double meat (try for a pound), lettuce, tomato, some ranch etc/a bowl of some sort of soup/ small bag of baked Lays/ 1 quart of milk

Snack: Tuna sandwich (1 can w/ mayo on ww bread)

Preworkout: Power bar and either gatorade or water or ice coffee or something to wash it down

Postworkout: 50g whey w/ 2 cups skim milk

Dinner: 1lb of some type of red meat or fish/lots of salad or green veggies/whatever starch (good or bad) I want/ milk......if the starch is a yam or brown rice, sometimes I'll have several scoops of ice cream when I am done or go out with a girl for ice cream or something, ya know?

Snack: any or all of the following, lol....Tuna sandwich, PB and J sandwich, Egg Salad, grilled chicken omlette, another shake......I pick one or two or three and down everything and surf the net and get ready for bed.

Its Wednesday the day after Halllowwweennn and I am screwed. I got a smooth 4-5 reps with 85s with a spot monday on flat bnch and my delt totally gave way. I kept liftin as there was no true pain until the end when I tried to do flys. even 20lb flhys killed. Today, after cardio I thought it felt better as yesterday was untollerable. Almost grabbed a vicodine but thank god I didnt. Anyway, I can't do a pushup without pain. Its in my rear delt so the downward push is where it gets me. Anywho, I got to train delts tonight and will start on the SMith. I want to try to find a postion either bnp or front where there is no pain and go at it. Is it ok to use lighter weights more reps and achioeve muscle mass? I did str8 bar rows yesterday and was fine.....


weight is going through the floor....I'm down to 165-6 from 171.....5lbs....yesterday I had an all protein meal for #2 (just chicken) as I was in a conference. so today it'll be oats again. Stomach is giving me all kinds of fits cramping not going to athroom etc. So I had a exlax which was really dumb.....dont ever do it. I am in pain today. Think it's because I stopped taking flax prelifting and my meals are prob. sub 30g of fat a day?

Yep, Exlax is never good unless you really, really have no choice, lol......

Alright, with the shoulder, I'll come out and say I am not a Dr. and with any injury anybody is uncertain of, they should see their Dr.....so that nobody gets their panties in a bunch about injury advice on a discussion board. It is either something serious or just one of those annoying little stupid things, lol......I'd rest it and see if it starts to get better over the next few days. If the pain causes enough discomfort that you're worried, see a Dr. If it were me, I'd skip the workout if it caused pain just doing my day to day life stuff. If it was okay at work, I'd try it out and just do whatever doesn't aggrevate the injury (and it will be very individual).


Light weights is a relative word, but, lol, weenie weights for millions of reps will not build muscle mass (or do much of anything for that matter)......again, don't worry, whenever anybody trains consistently little stuff like this comes up, you're probably just a little banged up.

I wish I could be more help with the stomach discomfort. I understand that it is common for people recovering from an eating disorder, maybe Mr. BMJ can chime in with something more helpful. I think you probably need to push through this plateau you seem to hit around 165-170 and get up to at least a normal, healthy weight for your size as this will have your body adjusted to eating properly (again, this is just a guess, if somebody with more first-hand knowledge of eating disorders reads this ,please chime in).........I wish you'd eat more real/wholesome foods, brother...not junk, but more lean red meat, some potatoes, salmon, Sunday dinner at your Grandmother's.....stuff like that.

Don't get down on the shoulder, you know as well as anybody it is GONNA happen.

I'd second BiggT across the board on that. You can only play it by ear with injuries. My own personal rule is that if it hurts or feels as if it's about to hurt then stop. It's better to take a week out to allow something to recover than have to take a month out because you pushed something that was trying to tell you not to. I'm currently on a huge squatting sabbatical due to ignoring the rule yet again. It's just not worth it.

I just finished lunch. 1 pound (ish) of topside of beef, a large micro-waved potato and half a tin of baked beans washed down with milk. The meat was discounted at the shop due to today being its sell-by date. The other half-pound is for a PWO snack later. Chicken, tuna, turkey etc are excellent sources of protein and should be part of everyone's diet but good, red meat should be in there, too, on a regular basis.

Good meal, you eat like me,


I love milk, and I drink it, but remember a friend of mine, or I should say an acquaintance.

Any way every time I would drink milk he would remind me it is simply liquid sugar.

 

[blut wump]

It should be marketed as an energy drink.

I'm shooting for 2.5 pounds of beef today.
