How many calories do you eat a day? it doesnt read like you get all that many Albert

Honestly I don't count them Nick... It's on my list of things to improve upon for next training cycle. Probably in the 22-2400 range. I pretty much maintain at that. I was always pudgy when I was younger, seems like I look at food and jumps on my gut I need to play more with the macros this next cycle. My 140 pound wife was eating 2200 calories just before her comp and she leaned down to 8% BF.

I will post up my nutrition plan and keep yall in the loop when I start a new training cycle in a couple weeks.

On my last cut cycle, I went as low as 1200 cal per day. Obviously to go that low you need androgens to maintain muscle mass...

Lacking motivation at the gym recently.. Been a few times the last couple weeks, and it's hard to get much done. It sucks..

So my buddy is a power lifter in the 148# class hes a strong bastard and hes a certified strength and conditioning coach... he is a proponent of IIFYM. He put this together for me and i honestly haven't put it into action yet but i am thinking about it. Frankly being in a caloric deficit for so long (roughly 5 years) my metabolism isn't good. Cold hands and feet even in summer excessive fat in my midsection basically all of the signs of a f**cked up metabolism. I was fat 245lbs in 2010 and at the beginning of 2011 I dropped 95 lbs mostly by severe caloric deficit(500-700+ a day. The last 2.5 years I have increased everything calories, and exercise but still i don't think my metabolism is right.

ACTUALLY LOL, I'm a machinist... My hands are always cut up to pieces. Don't want no funk from the barbell in my blood stream. Haha

 

[lts1ow]

Ya, I hear you on that, I usually get torn up and promptly wash the hell out of my hands at home from the gym.

Side note, what machines you run?

Damn Nick I didn't realize you had lost that much weight good for you. Sounds like your Metabolism needs a jump start. Keep me in the loop on your progress with your IIFYM:thumb:

Usually a large mori seiki lathe. 24" chuck 84 inch between centers. I believe it's a 2009 model. Cnc of course. And sometimes a Makino a61 5 axis mill. Really hate setup and programming that. I like simple lathes

I'm so f'ing glad this cycle is done... The back injury at week 8 or 9 just wrecked everything.... I have deads on friday so one last shot at 500 hundy:thumb:

 

[Gmclbz]

Picked up a bench, bar, and 235 lbs in weights today. First shot at squats tonight...

100x8
150x8
200x8
235x5

I need to get some more weights, definitely feel I could do more. Was nice to see where I am at for a starting point. I'm gonna have to modify this bench for squats, was kind of a pain.

 

[Mile_high]

Radio silence due to wild work hours, but I know that won't score any pity points around here (I'm looking at you, Alfred).

Squats:
10x285 then 10x3 at 275

Deads: small deficit on a mat, snatch grip 3x8 at 315. Sweet leg trembles.

Am I the only one who looks forward to squats and deads, but wants to skip arm/chest days?:roflmao:

Whoo Hoo welcome to the brotherhood I'm gonna guess that your going to be hurting just from that unless your really active. You can always try 2x20 at 235
