Anabolic Diet
Below is my diet, since starting the AD. Up to this point last night and today are the hardest as far as cravings. I?m really missing my oatmeal and blueberries, which I?ll be having in when I?m finally on my carb days. I?ve completed four days of high fat/high protein/low carb days and have not experienced being sluggish at all. Only 8 more days until I eat carbs! I might be eating upwards of 50% fat right now. I drank a Pepsi One last night at Wal-Mart ~ I hadn?t had soda for probably six months before that. I don?t plan to make that a habit. I also treated myself to Einstein?s coffee w/half-and-half this morning. I had stopped drinking coffee during the weekdays about a month ago, knowing that it can stress the CNS. The cutting out of coffee has really balanced my energy levels.
This morning as my girlfriend was laying on my chest she said she can already tell I?m ?tighter? with this diet. I wasn?t too sure that she was for the diet but now she is coming around. She is worried I?m not getting enough vegetables. I?ll be loading up on those during carb up both for her and my sake. If this thing is going to work she needs to be on my side, or at least that will make life easier for me. Matt likes when his woman is happy!
When I started this diet I had been going back and forth from 225 to 230lbs. @ 6ft 3in ~ I know that sucks! I want to eventually get to the 250 ? 275 lb range. I train strongman and got 2nd in my first contest last November. I train with a big Samoan guy and we flip tires, carry farmers, carry super stones and squat our asses off every Sunday. Tuesday and Thursday are free weights only.
In February I severed a ligament in my wrist ~ I was only able to front squat (couldn?t use my hands), Saftey squat bar movements and ab stuff. It helped me maintain my weight and gain weight/strength in my legs. I hit them twice a week. I quiet a bit of upper body mass to get back. I still have a good amount of swelling in my wrist after training but it is coming around. I plan to compete in Las Vegas NM on August 13 and at the Pueblo State Fair (Colorado) in late August or early September.
I?m tired of being skinny and I want to move up with the big dogs instead of competing lightweight (231 and below). I may get my ass kicked at first but should soon start kicking ass.
I took measurements after the first day of this diet and will post them since people will ultimately ask what are your measurments. This is the first time I have ever measured myself and I felt like a woman doing it. I thought it would help me know weather this diet is working for me. I?ll post more measurements whenever I feel like a body builder and take measurements again. I?m thinking of hot pink posing trucks with sequins. What do you guys think? Yeah right! That will be the day.
