Training Progress Log

Aww thanks... My legs r the weakest in this forum! I just brought my squat up to my bench last month, and can still shoulder press more than that lol. Wait til u c the other girls' leg numbers... Put me to shame!

I'll trade ya part of my leg numbers for part of your ohp numbers any day!!!
 
Trust me, practically passing out from squatting 135 twice is far more embarrassing! Lol ;)

I'm 6'3" 246lbs and I only squat 135lbs. I don't ever go higher due to my back. I don't care what anyone thinks about it. Not even sure if anyone does. I am just happy I can squat something. I get results too!
 
Thats all that counts bro, the results!

Lol I'm 6'2" 188 and shrinking... :(
 
Dam gurl your one tall drink of the good stuff there.
With the volume that you do you could easily go to 1 1/2 grams of protein per LB of bod weight sista.
If you are loosing muscle mass then I would cut back on your volume seriously. You also might wanna start using a Weight Gainer supp. One of my favs is Beer LOL...But seriously you should look into them.
And of course if you like it giddyupgo on the 2% milk.
Whole eggs for you wouldn not hurt either. And mixed nuts but no penuts.

Lol I'm takin in about 2700 cal, 270 g protein, 250 carbs and 50 g fat... I'm not able to workout right now, other than legs... So I feel like upper body is just deteriorating...

I may actually get this pinched nerve looked at after all lol I'm dyin here without my workouts!!!
 
You may wanna try cutting back the carbs just a bit and increase the fats. That might slow you down in the metabolism some.
 
LOL cook yeah but Ohio is kinda a long drive sista...sorry.
 
so now I'm just sad... i went to the gym tonight because i am feeling so behind... watching all of you progress while i sit around and do nothing... today was a free for all at work because it was our holiday party and i ate enough for all of us on here... so i went to the gym... i thought.. well i will just lift the bar and test my left side and see what happens... started with ohp... some guy comes up to me and says... man ur gettin small what are you doing???

i wanted to cry! I've lost about 9 lbs (after my binge today) and feel like i will never get all the way better to get back on schedule!

sorry just had to vent ;)

I'm so so sorry snipes!! I know that has to be extremely frustrating!! You have to heal though and make sure not to get worse or you could be taking much longer off and not because you want but because you can't do it!! I know it's hard!! Dont be sad. I think it's amazing you can still eat like crazy and still lose weight!! I know that's not what your after. Any way to work parts...lightly..until you've healed? Doing lightly would at least keep you around where you are/were. Is that possible?

So sorry snipes. Keep that sexy chin up. Heal. The tides will turn.

Hey SG,

If you're really losing this kind of weight it's likely mostly diet. Not enough time has elapsed for you to have lost muscle gains solely from missing workouts. In addition, you're still lifting your legs. As long as you keep doing legs low volume high weight you can actually even continue to make upper body gains... Yes, gains. No, I'm not smoking crack.

When you lift legs heavy you pump out all the good hormones that help optimize your muscle gaining potential. That is, you make yourself anabolic. Keep doing your leg workouts. Do whatever little else you can (even if it's just training your grip strength). Even the most remote muscles send signals to your endocrine system to pump up the volume. Your blood in turn touches everything, so even if it's your legs causing the increased hormone secretion, your upper body will benefit.

Also, what are you doing for this pinched nerve? Are you sure it's a pinched nerve? If so, are you doing all the anti-inflammatory stuff? I've found even just arnica gel (you can get it at any health food store or CVS) works really well to keep local inflammation to a minimum.

Then, yes, optimize your nutrition. It sounds like you've been doing great on this but google "anti-inflammatory" foods and try to incorporate some of this. Fish, good vegetables etc can be good for all of this. Most importantly eating well will keep you from feeling like crap which will keep you from feeling sorry for yourself eating bonbons on the couch. This is a setback -- not the closing scene.

We are all here for you. Get creative. I'm sure there is a ton of stuff you can still do but it's gonna take some innovation (one thing you might consider doing is splitting your leg day into two days -- one with glute and ham focus and the other with quad focus... Also, if you havent already seen a physical therapist I highly recommend it -- those peops are the only reason I can still walk!)

Good luck, sista. Don't talk to loser punks at the gym. They're all jealous anyway.

xo, C

you are 100% right! it's just so discouraging when you start making progress than have a setback that seems like it will never end..

as far as the pinched nerve... i a pretty sure that's what it is. it has happened before, but always worked itself out in a couple days. the numbness has never been this bad, nor the loss of strength in the whole arm. I take advil, and sometimes ice it when the pain gets too bad to not do anything.

i kno the whole muscle loss in a week is all in my head, but i sure feel like it's real lol

i just switched to a better diet about three weeks ago (i was eating cupcakes by the dozen on a daily basis before) so thats why I'm losing so much weight. my whole intention with all of this was to get down to like 10% bf. i always thought i was lucky to be able to eat what i want and not gain weight... but that just gave me a reason not to stop... i still have a cheat day each week... but it is usually just a cheat meal.. I'm really trying to get strong and lean...

anyhow, i really appreciate your advice and positive thoughts, they really do help!!!
