myself – yeah, RFL = rapid fat loss, a Lyle McDonald diet. Lots of info out on the net. basically a protein-sparing modified fast, extreme low cal/no carb diet. Not fun.
Ryan – nice dude! I went quite a bit longer than you (3 weeks total), dropped 2.5in off the waist (though after a week of parent-influenced binge eating, it’s back up .75in of bloat lol. will go back down), and 12lbs ighter at my driest. its def legit, just not easy.
Had a very long day at work, but still killed it tonight in the gym. I’m giving a presentation and doing an in-office training (eek, my first) for a client that is flying in some of their analysts. I’m not nervous about the speaking and stuff, just that I’m shaky enough as-is on the material. Oh well, guess it’s sink or swim time, and obvi I’m gonna doggie paddle hard as fuck.
Anyways, didn’t come in with a plan, and this is what went down:
Warmup. Felt boss. All the carbs from the weekend heyoo. When I weighed in after, I was 208, lol. bloated fuck.
Neutral grip pullups - these felt amazin. handles about shoulder width, and I could really pull myself all the way up and hold the contraction, and control the negative down. Felt a pump from the first set. Stretched lats between sets.
BW x 12, 10, 7, ~5.
Pulldowns - nothin’ fancy. Regular grip
120 x 12
160 x 10
200 x 10
220 x 8
Deadstop DB rows - thx Mountain Dog
125 x 10 LR x 3. Each set got progressively easier, just started gettin winded.
Deadlifts - hamstrings were still very sore and shaky from Thursday’s destruction. Had the itch to DL regardless
135 x 3
225 x 3
315 x 3
405 x 8 - lol. I coulda gotten a few more but form was starting to break down and I was exhausted by now. fellow BOI’er DOHCrazy pulled 585x8 this past week, so I pretty much hate myself atm.
Cable EZ row/shrug/midback thingy
3 sets of 12, squeezed, with the stack. So leet.
Squeezed DB shrugs / Rear delt DB flies
115s x 15 / 15s x 20 x 3 - lol rape.
Extensive back stretching, cool down.
Sex. That took a smidge over an hour. Gotta get to work early tomorrow so I’m cooking dinner and hittin the sack.
