Rchristensen's Training Log

Gotta get that diet straightened out man. You cant out train a bad diet unless you have great genetics or train for a living (or are very active during the day and lift).

The quesidilla can be fine but it depends on your total calories and macros. I am a believer in IIFYM (if it fits your macros) for weight loss (not general health). So if that quesidilla fits your macros and calories for the day it should be fine. But if it pushes you out of your macro or total calroie goal then no its not fine for the diet. Hope that helps.

Ok workout was hoping for more was to spent for cardio but all in all a decent day

Good looking workouts. You should check what you rest is doing. I wouldnt except a performance drop of that many reps. I only like a drop of 2 reps from 1st set to second. But thats me. Keep it up. How is the weight?

What lift are you talking about. Weight is decent still around 230 like i said was shooting for 220s by this week. Yeah I do have a feeling that I am going a little bit to fast, not really forcing any breaks.

Food yesterday was my normal salad at lunch and a version of chicken cordon bleu and brown rice with a dinner roll for supper. Then before bed there was another half a chicken breast and a slice of cheese and a half a roll.

Just some of the lifts from the last two workouts. The reps drop down to 7 or something by the last set. BUt its all good man. you do what you like and what works. Keep that diet tight so you can keep losing.

I hear ya…seems like I was just done by the forth set…probably due to the lack of break time. On Rack pulls my straps got so sweaty i couldnt get a full 10, might be a good sign!

Just got back from Vegas 1st workout back, trying a push pull split, worth a shot.

Looking to add healthy calories but really not a bad start only gained 2 pounds in vegas I will take that.

Good looking workout. Make sure that chest work is not to failure cuz you will be hitting it again shortly and you want to be able to go heavy. Then just do some pump work for da delts. Diet looking solid as well. Shit when i was in vegas i put on 2lbs a day so that was a 10lb weight gain in 5 days lol. Keep that diet tight so you can keep dropping. The nice weather is upon us
