What are your calories at?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

2019 is the first year I didnt count since 2006. I have logbook after logbook, and six years contest preps in logbooks. I like this approach better of just going my the mirror and scale.

like today was cardio, work, after work biceps and abs, then a bit more cardio, posing

Today is lower calories. Tomorrow is possibly hamstrings before work, and quads after work...which if thats the case calories will be higher

 

[Love_to_Bodybuild]

did some hams upon awaking phyical therapy, stretches, etc

2-3 exercises

worked...

went back and did quads and finished hamstrings

weight was 221.9 with shoes on so Im continuing to drop
mY muscles look flat and I just ate some cereal after legs.... I usually dont like to eat straight sugary fast acting carbs post-training pre-contest because from experience it tends to slow down fatloss. In this case I think its an exception. That and the fact Ive been dieting very, very difficult.

Ephedrine 20 mgs caffeine 200 mgs alpha yohimbine 1 capsule and 2.5 mgs yohimbine seems to be suppressing appetiate nicely. That and ive gotten more used to the feeling

today I ate about every two hours since I split hams and quads up, and needed a bit more energy. Like yesterday every three....

 

[Love_to_Bodybuild]

didnt have time to do cardio today because I had business to do before work

worked

did chest

pt, light stuff, warmups

weight was 224 lbs shoes off so missing some cardio and eating a bit more my weight shot up. It seems I have to stay on my diet or if I do weight shots up. My muscles are fuller than yesterday That said , its time to embrace the suck....

 

[tripleOT]

Really liking this log. Keep going strong bro.

 

[Love_to_Bodybuild]

Thank you brotha. The monsters deca is nice and smooth in that mct oil.

Today was cardio, posing, cardio. Cardio was intense like ive been doing.

During my posing, i have quite a bit of bodyfat to drop, Chest could use quite a bit more fullness and size, and I wont be able to do that this contest prep, although I can still improve it some. I have four weeks until competition date , however its best to get started early and time to keep pushing. Muscles were popping in certain poses.

Calories were kept low like 130 carbs, 300 grams protein (two or three scoops bcaa's) and maybe 75-100 grams fat. Sometimes I drink a shake at night so maybe 350 grams protein.

I want to rearange my sleep schedule where I get up a few hours earlier and smoked some hemp flower, which they sell in a local vape store, and wow this relaxed me nicely and research of cannabis institute has some research that cbd is helpful if you change your sleep schedule, it inhibits stage three sleep, but helps you get up earlier .

now ive smoked regular caanibas before and Ive liked some of the mind alterting effects if you will, and some the thc was too high. Some users smoke some hemp flower (CBD) only, and use a small amount of cannibis, and this cancels out some of the mind alterting effects of thc.

Im not against cannabis mind you because it has anti cancer benefits, pro social benefits, relaxation, Research indicated some people are negatively effected by thc, and can cause psychotic issues, even schizophrenia if genetically predisposed, even if someone only has 5 % genetic predisposition it can exebate that . Now ive smoked cannabis before many times and was fine. Ive also smoked and thought it could negatively , that said it could have been my mind. I dont mean to put thc in a negative light,I just think the stuff now a days could be too strong for some people, esp people who smoke little or dont smoke it at all.

Im glad its socially accepted now. I hung out with some friends in a big city with a group of people and cannabis is freely talked about in front of everyone, with people joining in and some even say they smoke it. This didnt happen ten years ago. Ive been bodybuilding for 17 years now and would have never thought id even think about smoking cannabis or hemp flower, and research shows health benefits, and this cbd only or cbd mixed with low thc, sleep study I came across comes of great interest and at the right time.
