Sweat and Pain is Weakness Leaving the Body

Training Logs
1

I am starting a log of my own to help keep track of my log book.

I usually train with an old school template but change many varibles such as sets, reps, and exercises. What I do is not stuck in stone so we will see how it goes and how well I can keep up with this log. I do have a full plate studying for 2 certifications exams and I work a full time job and coach football 6 - 7 months out of the year as well. That is when it is the hardest to find time to train. Well, it is offseason until Aug. 5 so it is bust ass mode.

I am 204 - 207 depending on the day and time. I would like to be as close to 200# and around 10 - 12 % BF. An electrical impedence machine told me I was 18% today. Seems like a lot but I have been in the 15 - 18% most of my football career getting to 12% as the lowest. I don’t really have any 1 RM. The last time I did those was about 8 years ago and while impressive it was a long time ago…many injuries ago.

I will start with diet and training from Monday.

6/9/09

I started feeling like shit yesterday around 3:00 pm. I am not sure but I think it is diet. I guess I usually have a lot more carbs and my body was adjusting. My back started to feel very achy like a flu… I thought I was getting pork flu. Anyways after my soccer game I went home and loaded up on food and went to bed.

7:00 3 pancakes (fiber one) with lite syrup, strawberries and blackberries; 2 scoops of Grow! Whey and H20
protein = 50 g Carbs = 45 Fat = 3.5 g
11:00 2 scoops of Grow! Whey with H2O
P = 42 g C = 8 g Fat = 5 g
1:00 Tuna, italian dressing, avocado
p = 42 C = 27 Fat = 50 g
3:00 Tuna, italian dressing, avocado
p = 42 C = 27 Fat = 50 g
4:00 Surge Workout Fuel
C = 21
6:00 Soccer game - sprints
7:45 Surge Recovery, L-Leucine, Creatine,
P = 33 C = 49 F = 4.5
8:30 chicken breast, asparagus, .5 gallon of milk
P = 99 C = 95 F = 39

Total grams for the day:
P = 266 C = 251 F = 152

So I ended up getting 3436 kcals yesterday which is right about where I want to be. I think I need to get more cabs in the am if I am going to play soccer and lift. Soccer can be quite a douchery sport but I play because it gets me moving fast. I can sprint but chasing or running from a person is more fun…

68 minutes - I felt I outworked everyone in the gym today. I strive for that, pain, and beating my last session. Granted it was only 4 pm and I may not be pushing the most lbs, I left nothing in the tank. I have got to get a log book to doc my lifts…I think I may have done decline HS 2 days in a row.

To get what you never had, you must do what you’ve never done!

6/11

I reread the posts and the chronological order seems phucked but I am trying to clean it up. This is the 4th day of my log and I have been on the ‘diet’ and ‘training’ everyday since Monday. As I get more experience it should flow a little more like Marshall Mathers.

I just found out I have another soccer game tonight so should be another good test.

I had visions of doing more lifts but I taxed my back at the begining of the workout. I may be have been better spacing some lifts out. Oh well, pay the piper. I had to save something for the game and I scored our first goal in a victory.

Diet was okay, mostly eggs, protein, fruit during the day. Ate a pizza with gf in the evening. Other than that it was pretty good. Drank tons of beer on Saturday and didn’t get enough solid carbs. Sunday was a lil better than Saturday.

So here we are on Monday, a new week, but I leave for Vegas on Friday to celebrate the big 30.
